| TBH, I think all this talk about "ass kissing" is just a little bit OTT. Fair enough, the last two results have been good but I think we should maybe wait a wee while before such statements are being made.
Still, I have to laugh at the double standards of some. It appears that sacking a manager after three seasons is considered by some people to be "knee jerk" yet two wins is all that is required in order to prove the doubters wrong?
Seems odd that.

All this talk was chiefly from that great oracke BSC. The rest was tongue in cheek, so to speak.

Look if we beat Saints and Leeds I'll happily push my lips against ... well you get the idea. But what you are talking about I'm not prepared to do.

You're still sooo desperate to be recognized as the man who "called it" that McNamara was "no good" and should be sacked, that you can't see how pathetic these style whingeing posts of yours now look.
I think that with what has gone on, and especially due to the fans forums and the information people now have, more and more are accepting first that we really are rebuilding and second that this is a process that is not measured in weeks or months but years. Added to a better understanding of the problems the new regime inherited (and still struggle with) most now seem to be more interested in seeing the process progress. Of course some good wins as we go along won't hurt.
As for results, I do not minimize their importance, but I am confident that when we have most of our key players fit then given a fair shot we will trouble every team we play from now to the play-offs.
"Doubting" or not doubting the coach is so yesterday. His position seems secure as anybody's for the rest of the season and probably beyond if the reports from the forum have caught the Odsal mood, so I reckon we can give that sterile argument a rest and concentrate on the games.

Where did I "doubt" the coach in that post then?
As you may have noticed (or maybe not as it is you after all), I have not said a great deal on the McNamara situation recently as it was generally believed to be "getting on peoples' t!ts" so I gave it a rest.
As it stands now, the floor is there for Mr McNamara to back up his promises of a better second half of the season. He has started very well indeed if the truth be told but I would say that it was just a little bit early to be suggesting that we "kiss his ass" because of two wins.
I assume you feel otherwise.

Yeah but surely if we were to do the double over Saints and Leeds it would be worth a kiss then?

See, it's your choice of phrase: "if the truth be told". It just shows you're not happy he's started very well.

You do no such thing, you know as well as anyone what my views are on McNamara and the club and ass-kissing doesn't feature. Though if they replace Mac with Kylie I may have to reconsider that one.

That does not even make any sense.
However, I have no wish to start ANOTHER debate with you so I think we should maybe just leave it there.

Not putting words in your mouth as such, just comes across that it's a struggle for you to come on here and praise the side. It's as though you grudgingly concede we're play better right now. Who knows we may well revert back to the poor performances once again, but I'd rather take each week as it comes and celebrate a good weekend of Rugby.

Not a struggle at all BB. They have had a couple of good wins and that is a good start but unless it becomes the norm then I am not going to get too carried away with the results.
Despite what some people may think, a successful Bradford side is what I would like to see and if that is what we get then I have been very wrong indeed about the coach.
I just feel that there are many questions that still need to be answered and that the corner has yet to be turned despite a couple of good wins in the last couple of weeks.

There will always be life’s "take the positive" and life’s "find the negative" and many that fall on the scale somewhere in-between. That's life.
(This isn't a personal dig ME, in fact I think it provides many different angels of discussion)
If we were all in the aren't the bulls brill no matter what camp, this board would be pretty dull, likewise if we all slated them no matter what.

It's the demons of discussion which tend to clog up this kind of thread - naming no names...
