I have followed Bradford Bulls and Northern since the mid seventies, good times and bad, more bad than good as it goes, but I have NEVER in thirty odd years felt embarrassed to be a Bradford fan, at least not until today I hadn't.
What I witnessed today was a disgrace, a shambles, a totally unacceptable lack of effort by 17 men, yes I said 17 men as the term 'team' cannot be applied to them. I have seen dark days as a Bradford fan, and I have seen us take some real hammerings, but whilst taking those hammerings the players would give 100% passion and commitment to the cause, a bit of pride in the shirt, a never say die attitude and fight to the end.
That was not present today, there were just 17 men who could not care less that they were about to be humiliated, about to be beaten, at home, by a side who had never even gained a point in Super League. Seventeen men who had no pride in wearing the shirt of my beloved club.
I call on all true Bulls fans to add a reply below asking for answers from the club as to what's going on, and I will then forward this thread to Peter Hood

We have a thread already.

You're going way OTT, and being totally disrespectful to Crusaders to boot.

Were you not at the Warrington game ? because i thought that was more embarrasing.

Yes Warrington game was more embarassing. This was more expected than anything.

Unfortunately.

The wire game was a mile worse than this IMO.

admit it you players tried there best but are just too sh it

Due to a badly broken ankle today was my first game of the season unfortunately, so I cannot comment on the Wire game.

Not being disrespectful to Celtic, they totally deserved their win no doubt about it, but the Bulls were a complete and utter shambles and Ben Jeffries the less said the better!!

Looks like your players didn`t turn up today either then ?

You were lucky to have broken your ankle.

personally i dont think we played that bad, the problem was that the crusaders didnt let us play i thought thier defence was awesome, and thier forwards matched us all game yes there was a couple out there that didnt desrve to be ie deacon, burgess was really quiet, we did lose semi early on wich prompted a reshuffle early on, i myself wont be too dissapointed by this loss, as celts were bound to get thier 1st win sometime unfortunatly it was us who handed it to them , cas did exactly the same last year at leeds, this is wot make the super league more of a competition, everyone is beating each other, bring on next week and forget about this one, oh and dave halley was awesome

Wait for Redeveready to jump on you now with his personal vendetta against Halley.

A bit like yours with Platt.

Ben Jeffries won the national hide and seek championship today, nobody amongst 7,500 at Odsal saw anything of him for 80 minutes.

Well played Ben!

i think next week will say a lot about the bradford team!! massive amount of pressure on the players!! salford have some form!!

very interesting!!

I know! It will be hard against a Salford side that outplayed Leeds at home.

yes they did indeed!! a dangerous unit that have just given hudds a hammering too!!

lucky for leeds we are attacking better!! defence is still awesome and we are 3rd in the league. lets hope we can hit some real form in the next half of the season as we have played poor for the most part so far!!

Easy, I'll back Salford on the handicap and the Bulls will probably run up 50



Seriously though, there might start to be an argument for the team playing much better away from Odsal, apart from the Wigan away Leeds home fixtures I'd say we've been better on our travels than at Odsal all season.

In your first post you stressed the term 'team', that wonders me now that your now pointing the finger at jefferies.

Lets hope we can hit some real form in the next half of the season as we have played poor for the most part so far!!

Why pick on him?
We had worse performances in our team.

Because for the last Celtic try he managed to find reasons not to get involved in three tackles by running the other way, then got swatted off likea fly and totally summed up todays I don't give a toss attitude!

I didn't stress the word 'team' I said you could not class them as a team, just 17 men who have made the club I love a laughing stock!

How did the Quins rejects go today-they will be used to losing !

How was your saviour Worrincy



They would be getting win bonuses had they not listened to Offiah

Worrincey played well thanks. Scored again.
