When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

Well, if you want to know "erm", then you could have quoted what he actually said, though I'm not surprised you didn't. But what he explained was“Losing by a scoreline like that probably actually helps us in some way, rather than it being a close one. It gives us the real kick up the backside we need.” '"
We would (I think) be in agreement (  ) that the team should nt, actually, need a kick up the backside, but the point he very clearly made, and which to be charitable you may have missed, is simply this: a player or players might over a period of days after a narrow or not too drastic defeat, persuade themselves that it wasn't that bad, or that there were understandable or acceptable explanations for it. Whereas after a fairly unmitigated disaster like that (which McNamara is the first to admit it was) no such delusion is possible.
I'd say it was a fair point.

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

In your head, you may have. But not in your post.

Surely no suggestion that the prophet ME is hearing voices in his head...?

He's mystic - he's bound to, isn't he?
There is in fact an official description of this type of statement, claiming that you put something in a post, when it's not really there at all.
I believe they call it "Scotch Mystic".
