When McNamara actually does something that suggests that he is capable then I will lay off him. But he won't do so. He is taking us backwards at an alarming rate and should have been sacked ages ago.

He is just a joke of a "coach".

Have a missed 9 Bradford games this season?

That's what I was thinking tigs (but with better grammer)



For shame ME, for shame



I wipe the slate clean with Macca after last season and with all the new faces it will take time for them to gel. Especially against a well-oiled outfit like Hudds. So I'll be sticking to the famous 10 game rule.



Out of curiousity ME how many wins are needed of the next 9 to restore your faith in Macca?

Would that be grammar?

Good to see your back on the ball as usual tigs

TBH, I see no point in this fabled "10 game rule" because even if we are doing badly, his apologists will still come on and say that we should give him until the end of the season, and so it continues.

As far as I am concerned, anyone would a record like he has, in most other sporting fields, would have been replaced by now, or, if the individual coach/manager has any dignity, they offer their resignation and admit that they just are not up to the job.

However, in answer to your question AP, given that we have a half decent set of opening fixtures, he needs at least six wins out of the next nine for me.

Mystic Eddie - I love coming home from work & reading quality posts and yours are nothing like quality posts. Thank You

And you are?

Clearly a supporter. Not a sad obsessed depressive with nothing constructive to say and only unrelenting negativity and criticism to offer.

A bit like the majority of your posts aimed at me then Adey?

You see, your problem is that you seem to think that a supporter has to back a club 100% in everything they say and do and I do not. You also appear to be a self appointed club spokesman who seems hell bent on getting everyone to see things your/their way. (Walking the Road to Damascus - one of your favourite sayings. What a load of crap! )

As for obsessed? Pots and kettles from the guy who seems to follow me around at almost every post I make and even sees fit to talk about me when I have not been on in ages!!!! However, no doubt you will deny that too as you always seem to struggle with the truth when challenged.

You post what you want mate. It gives the board balance to have different points of view expressed.


What the world needs is a great big melting pot...

I suppose, against my better judgment, I need to say something once again.

The thing is, you are unable to refute the charge me and others lay against you. Instead, your only response is to attempt to divert attention away by some pretty dishonest (again) attacks on those pressing the charges. I can quite easily refute your allegations (if I can be d), but in all this time have never seen you able to refute mine.

I don't "follow you around". Given a choice, I'd be happy to never again cast eyes on your negative depressing posts again on here. But you are entitled to have your say - as am I mine. And you bring it on yourself by appearing, vulture-like, whenever there is any less-than-good news and taking any opportunity to pursue your seeming obsession with everything being the fault of the Coach or the Chairman. We saw this all last season, when on the too-rare occasions we won you went missing, but whenever we lost you were firing off critical posts like grapeshot.

I have never professed to being highly clued-up on the game itself (and, it is clear from your posts you most certainly are not) and that is why I enjoy reading, and respect, the opinions of the numerous posters on here who [iare[/i. Even when they may be opining an inconvenient truth. And when they, speaking from a position of greater knowledge, explain where they think there are coaching issues - and what should be done to address them - then I read with interest, and learn. Hell, why do you think I like discussing and bantering with the various iterations of Michael's "Punisher" franchise, here and elsewhere, rather than respond as I do to you? But your comments offer little if anything constructive of that nature.

Conversely, I able to speak from a position of (slightly) greater knowledge regarding some of the off-field issues - not least because I make the effort to better acquaint myself with these - and I would hope that those posters would in turn respect [imy[/i postings and opinions. Unfortunately, I can never recall you suggesting much at all, and certainly nothing that is remotely practicable, for resolving the off-field issues that contribute very significantly to the issues we see on the field.

Any fool can say things are wrong and you can solve it by a few sackings. Its a bit harder to identify and explain [iwhat[/i is really wrong, and to suggest practicable solutions. IMO You could learn from the numerous knowledgeable posters on here who do just that.

Great post.

What a sycophant.

What was the original point to this thread?

Beats me!

Don't you think we need a singing end at Odsal?

There's a novel and interesting new idea.

I blame it on the move to summer rugby personally...

I blame Chris Joynt and his voluntary tackle.

I blame Canada...

I blame Martin Clawson and Basil Richards. That is the way things are done at Odsal.

That's your first post I haven't thought FFS at for a while. Still, no need
