for once nice to hear some acceptance of the way we have been playing but for Deacon to say "we're only about five per cent off playing as we want to play" I'm not too sure about that icon_confused.gif

I guess you could also say that Hood has come out and given him the vote of confidence in saying what he has, but personally I think he's gone over the top calling him special, next he'll be singing to him in the directors box icon_wink.gif

Suppose that puts to bed the 'Macca has lost the dressing room' line that was spouted by a few on here.

The players and the coaching staff need to back up their comments with improved performances now though. Hopefully the France trip will give the players the little bit of a boost they need right now. Far enough away from the empty head boo boys who at the moment are only heaping more pressure on the side.

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



And blah blah blah blah blah

I'm sick to the back teeth of the excuses. The Bulls at the moment are like that kid who never does his homework and comes up with more and more elaborate reasons why. In the end you just don't care what they're going to say because you know that there's no change coming.

If you really want to appologise guys hows about you do it on the pitch? Hows about you pull your collective heads out of your a$$es and actually start playing like a team instead of 13 guys who've only met each other that morning?

Or here's a better one, defer 50% of your wages until you actually start winning? As you don't seem to respond to a kick in the backside that 44-10 was maybe you'll respond to a kick in the wallet?

I don't think it has. It's merely a press release, and let's be honest - they wouldn't say in the press that he'd lost the dressing room. I showed the release around the office this morning, and all but one here agreed that the press release signalled poor management from the coaching staff.

Quote: Bully_Boxer " Far enough away from the empty head boo boys who at the moment are only heaping more pressure on the side.'"


Those 'boo boys' seemed to be 25% of the crowd, which is a hell of a lot. They're also entitled to air their beliefs. Whilst I didn't boo, performances in recent weeks from a side that on paper are very good, definitely warranted it.

“At last, a real, Tory budget,” Daily Mail 24/9/22 "It may be that the honourable gentleman doesn't like mixing with his own side … but we on this side have a more convivial, fraternal spirit." Jacob Rees-Mogg 21/10/21 A member of the Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_755.jpg



Quote: Northern Lad "for once nice to hear some acceptance of the way we have been playing but for Deacon to say "we're only about five per cent off playing as we want to play" I'm not too sure about that
In Deacon's case 5% of nothing is nothing. He is no doubt thinking only MacN would carry on picking him.
Genuinely though, we do need some decent GB coaches to succeed.

Well I'm sick of hearing the same old empty blurb "we know what we did wrong" "we're only 5% from where we want to be" it's all rubbish because none of it is ever backed up on the pitch.

They ought to stfu and actually get on with trying to improve their performances instead of giving soundbites out to the media.

There was nothing like 25% of the crowed booing where I was, more like 5% if that.

Perhaps this statement of unanimous support from the players was contingent on McNamara first burying the hatchet with Halley and recalling him? Just a thought.

But on the other hand would they state the team is fully behind him if that wasn't the case? Surely no such statement would be given either way if that was the case.

I would guess the actual people booing is far less than 25%.. but I haven't done any sort of research into this! There is no 'law' against booing but it's not something I can ever imagine doing to the side I support. I've gone home bitterly disappointed over the last few weeks but what are the people hurling abuse at the team/coach expecting to achieve?

Really?

Sending the captain out with a prepared statement says anything but.

Making themselves feel better. Regardless of the consequences.

Yeh I expect McNamara wrote it for him the night before.

Bradford gave us Hockney, Leeds gave us Moyles.:731.jpg



Sledger nails it... icon_wink.gif.

When Macca walked past at half time, he was certainly on the end of a verbal backlash by the fans, far worse than I've seen before.
