quite clerly didnt want to do interview he was fuming......not the coaching perhaps....

No more excuses left is there. Nice guy stevie but time to get back to what you do best...Coaching Skirlaugh!

He's just been on bbc giving what i would say is a shocking interview after the game.

If he is to carry on being the coac (which i hope he isn't!) then he had better change his attitude as he cae out looking like a total tw*t!!!

I had to chuckle at some of his comments...

BBC. Do you think last week had an effect on this game?
SMc. No, i hoped we would have learned some lessons from last week but obviously we didnt apply them to this game.
Comment: Thats a no then Steve is it?

BBC. It will take a while for the players to get over this?
SMc. We play on Friday night so it can't take that long.
Comment: well it will steve as your shambolic reign will take years to rectify!!!

BBC. How do you deal with this?
SMc. Well its my job, to make sure the players are ok. I'm a coach and its my job to make this team and the results better and we'll try and do that starting this friday.
Comment: Well start doing your job and find your balls. You should have been improving the team and results 2 years ago!!! THe best thing you could do for this club is walk away.

To be fair though i thought the questions put to him seconds after losing were a bit in the David Vine category like when he asked Steve Davis "how do you feel mate" just after he was beaten by Dennis Taylor in the 85 Snooker final...

Maybe it was an attempt to catch him off uard and tell us what he truly feels.

What did you expect the questions to be?

I think there was nothing wrong with what he said. You were all complaining that it was the usual comments and as soon as he says it as it is that upsets you!

TBH i was suprised he was interviewed at all,He should have been in the dressing room with his team and the plaster would have been coming of the walls...

I think it might be a contractual agreement...

The guy was plain rude, total lack of class.

I was amazed by McNamara, I'd always thought he was good on TV and liked the bloke, but lost alot of respect for him after watching that. Toys out the pram attitude, very surprised.

Would you have done any better in the circumstances?

Yeh, I wouldn't have gone for the interview and said I was focusing on the team

Mind you,How well would any of us would haved coped,,Platt !!!! I mean what the hell was he doing?????

You and me both! Maybe we are not as brave (or daft) as him?

Stupid this IS...had he actually managed to get the ball away (and I'll admit a teeny bit of me was hoping he would...bet I wasn't the only one) then that could have been a superb opportunity to get the ball out to the wing for a length of the field try. It never happened, but if it had then we'd doubtless be looking at it a bit differently (albeit telling Platt PLEASE don't do that to us again...)?

But I guess my Auntie continues to lack goolies so she continues not to be my uncle...

more like water boy for skirlaugh-don`t think they would want him as a coach.

he sounded like a man who knows he isn't going to have a job much longer

Agree mate.I don*t like coaches losing thier jobs but i think his days or even hours might be numbered..

I think he'll go tomorrow personally. The club usually go for morale boosting news just before the Leeds games, so news of a new coach coming in would boost attendances and boost morale a little.

I agree. If you watch it, Platt knows he's tackled and is looking at Nero and his intention is clearly to pass to him. If it'd come off then Bulls would have been on the front foot at a crucial point in the game. And I don't think one blip in what has been an improving few weeks for our much malined full back should be held against him

And that coach would be who? Would sacking a coach and putting Basil Richards in temporary charge lift morale?

I just said the same to some family members who hadn't seen the game and were lambasting Platt.

Hopefully he'll keep up the improvements and not be too downbeat - he's actually been good for the last couple of weeks.

Might be just me but I thought that the ball came off the Catalan players shoulder who was on the floor and got the try (granted he didn't play at it).

Should it have been a knock on?
