Supporters behaviour is choreographed by the club these days, therefore the likelihood of any kind of protest will be limited to a few rogue individual shouts. They've been turned into consumers rather than fans. The capacity for a 1986 FOX OUT style demonstration on the pitch down the touchline side no longer exists.

I'm not necessarily advocating it, just saying that I think BMD is here for the season unless the fans show their frustration. I agree Billy that it's not like the old days in terms of fan freedom.

Friday is the perfect chance to get our points across. No away fans so only us to hear. Big chance to make a stance against the way the club is run

I'm no neoliberal therefore I'd always be inclined to advocate action which goes way beyond season-ticketed, shirt-purchasing, consumer obedience

The best way of getting McDermott out is to ignore McDermott say you want Hetherington out.

Good point



That, and leaving games very early en masse... say, 50th minute. Not much chance of the 'Oh we are weeee' mob joining in as their brain cells died a long time ago.

Not turning up at all (which would be more effective) is an unlikely prospect as most have already bought season tickets.

Well booing when down 40 nil at half time against Catalan my be a good start

That, or when the 50th point goes in...whichever comes first

Totally agree hetherington (if he's bothered) needs to know how 14.000 fans feel the shambolic way he's running the club.
Yes we need a new coach and half a dozen top players (which won't happen) so it's time we vented our anger with the CEO and that starts Friday

(which won't happen either) Leeds will scrape a win

Is McDermort a relation to Voldermort

Should have gone halfway through last season: no excuses for plummeting so far so soon after been treble winners the year before FFS. Leeds have gone from a club that all would want to join for perceived trophy winning opportunities to one where the club would be lucky to sign another Mullally in a period just over the lifetime of a mayfly.

Im not booing the team I support in the middle of an important game early in the season. If you REALLY want Mac out then you should organise a protest outside headingly when it is not a match day. That way you are not directly negatively affecting your team.

A right lot of good that would do. Nope if you want him out you need a good old fashioned pitch invasion

Write a strongly worded letter to GH, that should do the trick.

I'm guessing McD must have inherited Ian Kirk's photos of Kath H.

Perhaps we need to ambush the singing slot with a rendition of "Hit the road, Mac...An' don charge cum back no mo" .etc

Anyone feel like changing their vote?

Nope, far from it. But the guy can now leave with dignity as he should at the end of the season with an announcement sometime soon. GH should already be actively searching his replacement imo.

100% agree.

spot on. I wish he'd done that at the end of last year. whatever your opinion he deserves to leave in a dignified manner

Surely it depends on how the rest of the season pans out?
Our defence - Cas apart - looks better than last year & the attack is at last showing more variety.
McGuire I think will hang up his boots, probably JJB too.
What will be critical is what happens to Parcell, will his trip back home at the end of the season produce a Segayaro outcome?
Currently there are other SL coaches whose future is less secure than McDermott's.

Whatever your opinion (and i too thought it was time to go after the cas game), you cant deny that the players clearly wanted to play for the coach and eachother in the last couple of weeks.

True. Looks the complete opposite at Warrington.

Thing is, I like and respect Brian. But he just gives me to many head scratching moments. I'd like him to leave with dignity at the end of the season, maybe go on to become the England coach or something.

My money is for Cunningham to go first. Don't think anyone else will join him, smith will probably get some wins for Warrington sooner or later. He will go at the season end. If we get a top four finish the club will have a difficult decision regarding Brian Mac

Rick Stone must be on thin ice too.defeat this weekend and against us next week and he must on the brink.I agree re- Cunningham, looks in serious trouble and Catalans away today followed by an equally desperate Warrington next weekend are certainly not the 2 games you would hand pick to ease the pressure. Tony Smith is a strange one, i'm sure he will turn it around sooner or later but its already looking like SL chances are over for this year and like McDermott he has been in charge there for many years depends if those at the top feel now is the time to shake things up as to whether he goes or not.

As for McDermott, he will be thankful we got 2 home games after that humiliation at Cas against sides who were not really a threat, that said the attitude of the players in the games shows he has not lost the dressing room. He has at least bought himself another couple of months barring another Cas like showing in coming weeks.
