''macca bullish ahead of playoffs''

and you are out at the first round



''macca: theres a whole lot more to come''

and you lose the first playoff game and are out

i think sometimes he does ''talk the talk'' but he certainly doesn't walk it.

I don't care if anyone changes their mind or not TBH and if anyone did because of what I say then they are surely a bit weak are they not? What I do believe though is that people will make their own minds up judged on what they see going on, and more people are starting to raise their own doubts about him.



My mind was clearly made up a long time ago. He should have been dumped after the Wigan embarrassment in 2007 but people have given their reasons why he should stay so let's see what he does about it. Look at the thread by "The Inquisitor" for example. A season of gripes, no improvement anywhere. In time I guess I will be proven right although he could prove us all wrong by turning around our fortunes in 2009. His latest recruitment is hardly installing a lot of confidence however, and these are sentiment echoed by numerous people on here.



Because it comes across as yet another excuse to me. He may well have suffered but it still does not excuse his poor recruitment. If he did not think he could cope with the situaution at the start of his tenure then he should not look for any sympathy in being unable to deal with the situation. Also, it needs to be mentioned, in the interests of fairness that SM was part of his predecessors regime and surely had some sort of say in the matter?

It also does not help that there is a poster on this board, presumably acting as a mouthpiece for someone inside the ground that consistently slags off the youth players at the club (or ones that have been or will be released), which does make you wonder how much respect the youth is given at Bradford both now, and in the past. The Crossley issue (of which I am sure you are in the know about) also makes me question their interest in producing the youth players.



Fair comment. They will have supporters like they will have their detractors. They may well be prepared to do their respective jobs but it is a question of how well they are doing them that will encourage the debate.



Yeah - I agree.

Grow up Tigs

Nobody is correct ALL of the time - from Day 1 ??

Day 1 for you must have been one hell of an Event

Hmmmmm.

I wonder who it could be . . . . .

Isn't it about time we had a poll on McBanana, to find out what everyone really thinks about hime? Now that the season is over and the memory of defeat is waning will allow people to be objective



Personally he's had his ups and downs not least in the treatment of the likes of Nero and Finnigan. But Im actually queitly impressed about our signings for next yaer. There is no burden of expectation unlike at clubs like Wigan and Warringting and I think we could suprise a few people.

There is still time to add more verses to the McBanana

I grew out of crushes on baby-faced schoolboys with rubber lips & sticky out ears many years ago. What's your excuse?

I really don't see any issue with how either player has been treated.

Nero has been moved from pillar to post which is not ideal when you are just starting at a new club and are struggling to return from several injuries. Finnigan being shown the door for money reasons when we are apparently spending a full cap

with no marqee signings to a cash rich club like Huddersfield

is pretty laughable. Why not just say you are not good enough mate on yer bike



I could also mention the likes of Halley who has outperformed the incucumber Platt yet has struggled to even get a game. For crying out loud McBanana has made some shocking decisions this season - but not once he has said mea culpa

I am happier with the way the club is going for next season with four quality signings (IMO) so hats off to him there but this season was a disgrace and a joke to be quite frank

You would fit in well in ancient Rome.

Your post made me think of McBanana - is it true he is the only RL player to have donned the field wearing lipstick

Why not do one? I would but I cannot stand polls me.

If either of us started the poll FA and af would derail it. Someone more objective is needed like Bullseye, or MaccbullBIgBullyBooaza

Oh they are all at it!! What a glorious facade!!!


When Bradford win the Grand Final next season I can just imagine the scene at Old Trafford as Mystic and Ferocious and Tigs and Harigeorgeson all embrace each other in one giant act of reconciliation like at the end of Naked Gun!

McBanana

From left second row to left centre. That's about 10m?

Yor forgettings his short stints on the wing at hooker stand-offand prop

For me you seemed to start having doubts after the 2007 CC semi.

Up to that point you were performing very well and challenging both leeds and saints for top spot. But when this crucial game came around you were outclassed and lost 2nd place from a defeat at salford.

This is when doubts started creeping in.

Wigan in th eplayoffs added to these doubts.

Then this season as your performed under par and never picked it up the doubts grew and grew and grew and now the pressure is on Macca to succeed this season.

One thing though. NEVER WRITE STEVE MCNAMARA OFF, he loves proving people wrong.

And when will he start doing that?

FFS not another McNamara thread

Well 2009 is his team. If they don't perform then he has no excuses.

Besides, doesn't his deal run out at the end of this year?

viewtopic.php?t=381158 It seems that Noble is also under pressure from the Goons fans who are demanding nothing less than a final appearance Kinda puts things here into perspective

I await him proving me wrong then.

So much for the moderators anti-club bias



Although the title does imply he has been on the Solomona diet

It does, so the club might not need to sack him if thats the way it goes, just not renew his contract and line up a replacement. If thats the case presumably the club will have to have a point throughout next season when they make that call on way or the other.
