You're posh in Warrington aren't you? "After a few pints of beer or a few glasses of wine..."

I think he was taking the Michael there. Well missed though

Its nothing we havn`t heard before in a video interview with a Warrington coach, i`ll judge the coach and the team with what happens on the pitch rather than anything thats said in an interview off it. Words are easy and we have heard most of it before, acceptable performances and good results are obviously not so easy with this present regime.

I find it staggering that Jimmy could even dare criticise 'aled' up fans whilst sitting next to him is non other than Martin Gleeson



Jimmy should get his own house in order before starting to criticise others.

Good interview Gary. I believe in what he says about him working very hard at things, and I applaud the fact that he got into some 'confidence coaches' (I seriously doubt that this was his idea though, and I hope what they were saying to the team wasn't derailed by sing at the back of the class).

My fear still remains though and it is a question I would like answering (although a truthful response would be unlikely) and that is, is their a TEAM spirit in the camp, or is it (as I suspect) fractious.

In a high impact game like RL the players need to WANT to put their bodies on the line for their team-mates - do or die and all that.

Sir Alex always instils a siege mentality at United, a feeling that all other teams.the media etc are out to get them, and look at the results that this produces, with his team fired up and willing to go the extra mile in order to shove any negative words issued at them back down their throats.

I hope that JL is trying the same thing at Wire. Hopefully through adversity some semblance of camaraderie will form (crosses fingers).

A bit of decorum at least this week.

Spot on, there just seems to be a lack of togetherness in the team. My concern is that our defence hasn't improved one bit and that we still persist in giving away silly penalities.

Gary, has jimmy expanded on this 'personal abuse' that he keeps harking on about?

Is it warrington fans, wakey fans or is he still referring to the catalans airport incident last year, he doesn't seem to have got over that at all.

I think its Wakefield fans reading [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=396764&start=0this[/url

well he's treading a fine line then if he's continuing down this route, repeatedly mentioning it as we've got a squad of supporters persistantly persecuting him, it doesn't reflect well on any of us.

He needs to get his players in order first before having a go at the fans..

Ive already said that cocker but well said

Wakey fans abuse him, he abuses them back, Wakey fans then moan about him abusing them?

Something not quite right there

"I'm not going to accept personal abuse..."

followed with:

"A few supporters thought you wanted to punch me last week"
"If I wanted to, I would've done."


Go on, Jimmy, set the example, cock.

I get the feeling and this is reading between the lines as he hasn't been more specific, that this could have occurred after the game when they could have been in the club/bar after the game or getting on the coach. I don't think he's talking about the Wakey fans.

Why does he have to prove how tough he is all the time? What possible good could have come from making that comment? It's not even funny.

From this point onward, I will only refer to him by his full name:

James 'I'm so ******* hard' Lowes.

I think you need to be able to tell the difference between banter and personal abuse.
From my understanding Jimmy was upset by the personal abuse aimed at him by some intoxicated Warrington fans.
Regarding the question of spirit within the camp - every player I have spoken to has said the team spirit is good and in the main it is the players themselves who have been letting the team down.
Sunday is now a chance for the players to show what they are capable of - like in the first half against St Helens.

What happens if they don't prove themselves on Sunday Gary?

In your opinion of course

That's beside the point Gary. I just wish he'd stop making references to 'not standing for stuff' and punching people. Whether he's joking or not, it just makes him look like an idiot.

Sorry but as I am not privy to speaking with the players on a personal basis I can only go by what I see on the field of play, and that is there just isn't the same sort of COLLECTIVE camaraderie and team spirit shown amongst the Wires players as some other SL teams!

They're empty statements for me.
A bit like how all the Tottenham players were fully behind Juande Ramos; and how all the Portsmouth players were the ones letting the club down, not Tony Adams.
Or, if you like, how it wasn't Cullen's fault.

They will have been beaten by the second best team in the world!!!

Exactly how many splinters have you got in your backside Gary?

Well woopee do .......... and they've all been happy about the losses for the last 8 games have they? Hopefully not but if they know the problem then maybe, just maybe they would care to rectify it before we get into a run of losses running into double figures (I'm not counting the big win in the pre-season friendly by the way).
