Would this have been at his weekly press conference?

Beat me to it.

Can we not just get rid of him now. Oaf.

Some Wakefield fans apparently gave him a bit afterwards, I am unaware if any Wire fans did and I would hope it is the former that he is on about.

Lets remember he has already virtually had a fight with some Salford fans when he was assistant at Salford in their away game at Catalans.

To be honest if you put yourself into that job of a coach you are going to have to deal with it and not with your fists. Whilst we all agree it is unacceptable you will never stop it.

His reaction to the fans at the time was bad enough but to then continue it with comments like [i"I think it's out of order and I won't accept that from anyone, no matter how good or bad we're going as a team."[/i is just another example of why Lowes isn't the right man to be a SL coach at the minute. He needs to ignore and/or rise above any crowd 'baiting'. His reaction at the weekend, and continuing through the media, will only make matters worse.

If he is still in the job, he is going to have some 'fun' at The Willows in April!

It seems pretty clear that he is talking about Wire fans when he says that he appreciates they are frustrated. The Wakey fans who were giving him stick weren't doing it through frustration.

A group of fans had a banner saying Lowes out

someone pointed it out and "said sad barstewards coming to yorkshire just to put up a sign"

These people were stood behind me at the Wakefield game, if they take it to the Leeds match Jimmy will certainly be seeing it.

The fans are totally irrelevant to Lowes and he seems to antagonise them at every opportunity.If he cant take the heat get out of the kitchen - Arsenal and Villa were booed at the weekend but you do not see Wenger and Oneill with such disrespect for the fans. He needs to realise that he needs the fans on board if he wishes to still be a Superleague coach , albeit a very poor one.

From the Link ...................

[iThe under-fire coach has employed a motivational team in the run up to the Rhinos match and hopes it will make a difference.

"We're just trying something different," Lowes added. "The whole club is down and the players are getting fed up, as is the coaching staff.

"Sometimes it's not about flogging the guys all the time, it's about trying something slightly different off the field.

"They throw different ideas at you. We had a go at it and hopefully it's worked."[/i

FFS - can we just get shot please. I mean, he's making it sound like it's the discovery of the century instead of something that maybe should have already been included in his season long plans.

And the bit in bold - try being one of the supporters if you're already fed up. We're the ones having to watch the tripe you're putting out and wondering wtf has happened to our club.

Interview with Lowes, he mentions the fans quite a bit, also the mental training. viewtopic.php?t=397560

All coaches/managers in all sports have had abuse from fans at some point even Alex Ferguson...
The good coaches rise above it and put all their energys into getting it right on the field I don't think Lowes is capable of this..

Furthermore i do think he's talking about the Wire fans...I'm not aware of any abuse myself i just think he's putting out a half ar$ed warning because he knows we're not happy..

He is a pleb of the highest order.

There you go Mr Lowes, stick that in your pipe and smoke it

He's not got the temperament for the job.

He's a mix of 'Uncle Nobhead & That Bloke' in everybodies office who tells you a crap joke that you have to laugh uncomfortably at because you think keeping him onside might benefit your career further down the line.

Can't get the link to Sky Sports but the following is a quote from Sporting Life from the same news conference.

[i"I've got a message for the fans who step over the line," he said. "The fans who abused me on Friday night, I'm not going to stand for that.

"I think it's out of order and I won't accept that from anyone, no matter how good or bad we're going as a team.[/i

What's he going to do? I interpret that as actually taking action should anyone have the temerity to criticise him.
It's only a matter of time before he has a physical altercation with a fan.

Christ, he's making me madder and madder.
Am I the only one who's started checking the sport/news websites more frequently in the hope he's been given the boot?

I've seen some rubbish served up by Warrington teams over the decades but no squad has performed so consistently far below their potential than this one and I've never before wished for a coach to be sacked (except Steve Anderson - but that's a given).

The number of people that post/read on here is a significant minority of the overall fanbase, but I expect they're a fair cross-section. Can we not have a poll about Lowes's future? If nothing else, it will either prove that his level of support amongst spectators is as low as it appears to be - or that my dislike for him is purely personal and fast becoming bordering on pathological!

Nurse! Medication please...

The way he reacts will just make them do it more.
Has to let it go. If the abuse gets out of order then its not for him to deal with them.

This all resembles what happened to me in France with him after the game when he tried to climb up from the dugout to 'have words' because I asked for my money back.

We obviously cant afford to sack him otherwise he would have been booted out by now!

"I'm not going to stand for it"

In all seriousness, what is he going to do? Offer [ieveryone[/i a fight?

I don't understand how anyone who wants to get ahead in the coaching game, having played at the top level of Rugby League, wouldn't be thick skinned enough to take abuse with a pinch of salt.

And it was mainly a mickey-take from the Wakey fans. How would Noble fair if he chose to sit at the front of your standing terrace along the touchline, and this was only a fairly small group of Wakey fans? Most people thought it was funny though, because they could tell that he was losing the plot, and I'm not sure anyone was actually offended. One of the blokes he invited for a fight had a grin wider than Jimmy's fist.

He was a dirty cheap shot merchant then too!

Lowes is making me cringe with embarrassment that he is the coach of our club.
