Quote: Saint_Claire "McGuire has done a good job on the fitness, that is apparent. But it was very cheering to see them lose tonight in the dying moments. I agree with Saddened - you only have to watch the team when Keiron comes on the pitch - if there was ever a prayer of him being their coach, I think he could inspire them beyond belief. Him and Scully, and Longy if he comes back in a coaching capacity. They could make something out of nothing, never mind what we already have; with the talented youth recruitment policy Saints have, well.....add to that some seasoned players plus a couple of proven overseas players and we really will live up to the expectations of us all.
And any of those three would give us the passion that our current coach cannot possibly feel for Saints. I've not seen any passion in him at all, I realise some people are reserved by nature but none of them above are lacking and their passion is red vee orientated. It would be good I reckon.'"
Allow me to cite a wise man,
rlKahlil Gibran (On Reason and Passion)rl
Quote: Saint_Claire "For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.'"
In this instance, reason is the game plan and structure on the pitch. This passion we are all demanding is pointless if we are out there unguided.
I must be in the minority in not expecting much more visual burning on the field. I prefer the cool, calm and in control attitude we take out. There is a certain assurdeness in that swagger of, yeah, we're two tries down, but we'll win, attitude.
