| Quote ="Bulldozer"Yes and put that in context - how many times have we played Leeds or Saints in the past 3 years ... I'm no stato but I think it's about 16 times and I can only recall 3 wins.
All I was saying is that for me to have confidence in what the coach is achieving at the Bulls I'd like to feel more confident when we come up against these 2 rivals'"
Which is what I have been saying for long enough. TBH, to expand slightly, it is the big game mentality of McNamara that is in question. Fair enough to say that Leeds and Saints are better than us but Wigan are not neccessarily, Salford in 2006 was a shocker too and it seems that he spectacularly fails when the going gets tough. (CC semi last year, Wigan play-off 2007 for example).
Glad to see you have caught up.

a) failed to motivate his squad
b) tactically masterminded our worst season for how many years
c) brought in poor signings and then awarded them with 3 year deals (Platt)
d) could only defend his poor tactical choices and game plans by blaming officials
or a club that
a) has failed to acknowledge last year as a failure
b) seems to have no interaction with fans apart from a fans forum

Except I presume to you, since your mind is as closed a book on the subject of the Bulls as a book that has been nailed shut, superglued together and pressed under a ton of concrete. They could get Barack Obama, Billy Graham and Abe Lincoln to speak, it would make no difference to you, so what's the interest?

There still remains the mystery of your temporary reform, some time just after the Quins away game IIRC. What happened there? Reminds me a bit of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie#Disappearancethis[/url, though I'm not sure why.

TBH I am puzzled as to why the likes of you and your fellow club parrot (and anagram of you) FA are so obsessed. OK, I was prepared to cut the coach a bit of slack but the bigger picture just does not lead to believe that he is anything else but incapable of coaching our side competently. By all means copy this out toname and shame me at the fans forum (you too Mr Duffy) because there is no reason to suggest that we are going anywhere else but backwards under Steve McNamara.
His 2009 recruitment is questionable TBH and I just have no confidence in him whatsoever. As I have been saying for a while now, he will soon prove me 100% correct.

[iWe're[/i obsessed?
This from a man who has now made pretty much THE self same post, changing the odd word here and there, but saying pretty much the same thing, since the early Middle Ages?
Well, you should know about obsession, that's for sure!

Who said it was ironic? It was a deliverate attempt at trolling which seems to have worked.
The fact that you could see a very small piece of something there would indicate that you either couldn't be bothered to attempt to read it and would therefore try to be clever or you didn't know how (by either using your operating systems magnifier tool or enlarging your browsers font size).
Either way, it was a deliberate windup and trolling attempt. Some of my points were my opinions, some weren't. Move along..

Whoah there, no obsession and no attack intended. I thought the Agatha Christie reference would have underlined the intended jocualrity. Just genuinely interested what happened to make you sympathise with SM for a short while there.
As for the parrot jibe, I've never heard Hood or Duffy compare McNamara to Clement Attlee (or Barack Obama ). By the way, do you think Attlee was crap? Or do the circumstances in which he became PM have to be taken into account? Just you've never said...

Being caught out over denying what that you called SM McBanana must have hurt but this is desperate even from you.
