when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg



Quote: Mick Gledhill "Why don't you go away and express your right to say what you feel about the club we all love.

Im staying put, but McNamara has had long enough and the longer he stays the crowds will drop and drop.

I'll be at the Stoop Sunday, so how is that not supporting your club ???

What Im saying is that yesterday for the first time ever I felt like why am I putting myself through all this.

It's like someone stabbing you in the heart, watching the same old poor performances week in week out.

It's Monday now and Im looking forward to the weekend and two points'"


" I and four others won't be there next season"

Either you are supporting the team or you are not. Constantly slagging off the team and threatening to leave is just attention seeking rubbish.
Everyone was disapointed but most of us are grown up enough to sulk in private.

I think most of us are past being disapointed and are now right royally ed off. Same old drivle coming out of the club but with no action...how long can people be expected to put up with it......and dont say true fans stick with it through thck and thin,, times are hard and people will no longer throw thier money in for no return, whilst not expecting wins each week, some effort and a bit of skill wouldnt go a miss.

I did feel bad yesterday and wish I never posted what I said because I'll be at all the games next year again and will no doubt be buying the new home and away shirts.

PS I hear we are going back to the old Northern hoops (very much like the 2007 home shirt).

This is what my friend James sent me

[size[iMick just remember you were there when the Bulls reached 5 grand finals in a row no other team has done that, you were there when the Bulls were the first team to hold the Challenge Cup, the League Leaders Shield, The Super league trophy and the World championship at the same time and you were there when the Bulls won three world championships from three finals.

No one can ever take that away. This is a temporary blip and if it lasts the rest of your lifetime you were there and that's all that counts.[/i
[/size

So true and we need to all stick together and support the club we love, even if this means getting behind Steve McNamara

"[iSo true and we need to all stick together and support the club we love, even if this means getting behind Steve McNamara"[/iI disagree with this last statement about getting behind McNamara. I have been a Northern supporter/Bulls supporter since the 1950s but have never, never seen such disdain from the people at the top meted out to supporters. Even in the bad old days of Ron Willey and Barry Seabourne, we were given some respect. These days we just get stupid platitudes on the radio and in the press - treating us as if we were idiots. We can all see where the problem lies, anyone with an ounce of Rugby nous knows where it is, but we are impotent and no-one even bothers to give us a sensible explanation. I am sick of being treated like a fool; if we can't afford to sack Mack and get in a coach with the necessary skills then please tell us that that is the case. then we might give the poor guy a bit more of a break. But please stop treating us as if we are silly glory-hunters who don't know anything about Rugby.

I think one of the reasons it all feels a bit flat and people are beginning to have a "take it or leave" it attitude is a combination of the fact that,

1) Blind optimism aside, achieving even a measly 8th position was realistically beyond us some time ago.

and

2) Due to franchising we have been denied the opportunity to panic and peruse the idea of relegation and staring at the trap door to the Championship and all that would entail.

For me a real damn good fight against relegation is just what the doctor ordered. Unfortuanately we have the "Tamiflu" equivalent of a franchise to protect us.

Now, back to my Gin & Tonic.

So much that a highly popular fanzine was set up criticising the board, and was subsequently banned from sale within the ground.

Funnily enough, you must be the only person I have heard suggest that.

Your post suggests you are indeed a fool - if you are being serious. You really think the club should/could/would actually come out and say, to you/usLook, we can't afford to sack Mack and get in a coach with the necessary skills so give the poor guy a bit more of a break" - even if that was what privately they thought?

You genuinely propose that this is a possible scenario that could ever happen?

I think you are missing the general points being made by the rational posters who are, and will remain, supporters.
There has been a lack of quality coaching in tactics and team preparation in their unified approach to each match. This is evident to those of us who have watched the Bulls, and the game, for a long time.
To suggest other is naive and disengenuous.
I disavow myself from personal critisms of individual players except where they apply to those that fail to try their hardest in every game.
Some current players this season are not of the ability that we are used to in past seasons but have worked to their best available. Some players that do have ability have not been d to show it.
As fans we expect the club to sign/promote players of some quality that will pull on the Bulls shirt and bust a gut to wear it with pride
Is this unreasonable?
As fans we would expect the players to be coached to the highest level of motivation,SL tactics, game plans and adhere to them.
Is this unreasonable?
