Ha, i thought today was fantastic myself
i thought our forwards played well
our half backs controlled the game
we offloaded well
we tackled
we broke the line
we destroyed crusaders !



We were a disgrace
no passion
no fury
we can't even wrap a ball up for christ sake ! it happened every tackle !
and whoever clapped them off your a mug, that lad who threw the programme ok, that was silly, but they deserved a boo-ing at least
the forwards were patting the other players on the back on a tackle
WHY !


we want to get in there faces ! scare them a little
McRae has got to go
like people were shouting and me myself " McRae has proved his worth now grow a set Wilky and get rid !!! "
ALSO !
That load of crap he said on the radio ! - i dont know where we went wrong, WAIT aren't you the coach ?
also he said its not that far to travel !
i wish i didn't bother after that !

Rant Over haha

So glad I didnt go to the game, really wanted to go but funds were abit tight. When I saw the teamsheet I thought great, Adamson and Ratchford both need game time. Fwiw I dont blame Mcrae and would not blame him at all, it simply comes down to the players cba listening to him, they know hes too soft to bollok any of them. I think we do need a new coach, doesnt need to be a master tacticion, just someone who is a good motivator like Karl Harrison was

I wasn't expecting us to win, but I was certainly expecting the team to show a little bit of interest and enthusiasm, rather than seemingly accepting that the game is over after only twenty minutes.

Apart from that, just getting the basics right would be a start. Like tackling. One up, one down, wrap the ball up. The amount of offloads Crusaders managed yesterday beggared belief.

Oh aye, a few of us were sat right by Simms and McRae. I must admit, my respect for Simms has gone up after yesterday, he looked like he gave a sh*t and generally acted in that way. McRae? Nothing. Just the occasional drop of the head before scribbling notes. And as for not knowing what went wrong... Sorry, but with pretty much an identical viewpoint of the game as him, I could tell him exactly where we went wrong.

Meh. I'm beyond getting wound up about it now. There's clearly no point.

Do coaches of other clubs throw themselves around the dugout, or do they just sit there making notes too?

John Kear plays the piano.

Funnily enough, I have noticed other coaches actually getting a little animated and showing even a slight reaction to what happens on the pitch, rather than sitting there looking bored and disinterested.
