| Here's one for the club spies..
Please, Please, Please stop releasing the same press release every week, but with a different player/club official conducting it.
You're starting to alienate us by telling us that we'll be going well this week, and that you're going to put in one hell of a performance. Problem is, you don't give us that performance.
Be honest with us, if you think things aren't going well, tell us they aren't going well. We don't want to here the same rubbish every week about how good we can be, we want to SEE how good we can be and that is more important that a press release.
Show us on the pitch, instead of in the press.

| I wish they'd stop just putting a different players comments in each week. Excuses and improvements.....
Scruton did it, Morrison etc.. It better not keep happening all season. If we win is it going to be. "Menzies praises confident Bulls performance"

Sigh. Can we just create a thread for all responses to Bulls press releases and the like?
What on christs Earth are they meant to come out and say if they didn't say this? The whole point of coming out and speaking to the media is to be positive. I'm pretty sure the players are wanting to improve, so they are speaking the truth.

Based on the previous year and the last 2 games, it doesn't really look that way.

So you really think the players are just thinking, "oh wait, we don't really, and don't want to improve."
If so, you should get some perspective. Oh wait, it's probably Macca poisoning the players minds eh?

I think you`re rather missing the point Ewen. The interviews are really what I`d call `nothing` interviews; they are only there because the T&A knows that it needs some Bulls interest every few days, just to maintain the interest of fans and so keep up sales.
I don`t think a player saying "we`re doomed, we`re doomed" to the local paper would go down too well, and in any case there is much that is positive to be said and as has already been pointed out, it is only the truth.

| It's true. The T&A stories seem to come from a template with "insert players name here" followed by loss to "inset opposition team name"

Only to someone who either doesn't read them, or else belongs to the NT and wants to pick fault for no reason.
In fact, the Morrison interview presently under discussion did deal with several matters specific to a particular game, and I found it reasonably interesting. But as for anodyne remarks about how the players know they must improve etc., it seems barkingly mad to me for anyone to even raise this as an issue with Bulls interviews in particular, when surely every reader of every sports page in every publication/media outlet in every country around the world is familiar with, and surely expects, the natural optimism and resolve to do better, which is the stock-in-trade of comments of players and managers the entire world over?
If anyone is unhappy with this, fair enough - don't bother ever reading sports interviews!! But what is annoying is for the NT to raise this as a Bulls-specific issue, when in fact there is nothing, absolutely [inothing[/i remarkable or surprising about it.
In fact, beyond normal. What other sentiments could any sportsman ever express? Who on earth could have a reasonable expectation that they would express any other hope/intention?
No, this is just another example of the NT picking up a completely unreasonable stick to beat the Bulls about the head with.
