| Whilst i completely agree any personal abuse is unwarranted should the team and management be exempt any criticism for p!$$ poor performances???
If you read most commenst on here 995 of us just want the team to compete the winning is a bonus but we never looked like competeing with ST's ,Pies or Wire until the game was gone!!
Now good for you supporting through thick and thin surprisingly most of us still attend and have the same philosphy but we also have the RIGHT to be critical when the same mistakes and the poor standards are getting repeated.
Do you think Sinfield is secure defending out wide?
Do you think the coach shouldn't be questioned for not using ALL his subs or giving 1 or 2 5 minute spells when it's CLEAR our forwards are knackered?
How about our top of the league u20's don't some of them deserve a chance when the team is doing so poorly?
Now it was great to get to Wembley and win the GF and kudos to the club for that but again that team eventually showed it was capable of much better than the dross they produced at times last year and the same applys to this.
As for individual players everyone has their own views and again as a fans forum shock horror that's what we share and debate whether good ,bad or just "nantwiche"!!!
If you thunk they don't deserve criticism ,or performances debated from ALL concerned then i wouldn't stick around on here you'll be very dissapointed.

| To be honest its nice to have a positive poster on here. I'm kind of split on the subject though, i think while McDermott needs to be questioned for the performance (opposite to what the OP thinks) i agree with him that the criticism shouldn't go into abuse territory. Healthy and non-too-personal criticism is ok, going onto booing during games, name calling and disrespectful comments i think is unnecessary.

I believe Swiftcorn got a bit of a ban following an argument on the VT with an Aussie about Aussie Rules Football and claiming he knew Australia better than a guy who lives there. Don't know if it applies to here though but his absence is greatly appreciated.

It's not really a case of getting sucked in, as others have commented it's remained a civil discussion. I've always been notoriously poor at identifying the men behind the 'characters' but agree it's likely to be one of the regulars.
Either way it's provided an outlet for some frustration. Will it change anyone's view - I doubt it.
rhinowinorlose probably still thinks Henry Paul wasn't replaced at the Harlequins and that he was always a leading role model off the field : news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 038590.stm
I'm guessing the Quins were just grateful he wasn't the chauffeur driver behind the wheel of that Mercedes S280.

If you choose not to engage in that kind of debate, it's your loss. It offers a hell of a lot more to this forum than a lot of the drivel that passes for opinion on here.'"
Agreed. It's a discussion forum, this is a discussion. Does seem to wind a few people up though - not sure why.

| I think in short they players have to take the criticism for the way they play and they shouldn't be exempt from criticism but equally the manager has to take some blame for the standard of play and tactics used in the game.
