My initial thoughts were that the Cats player pushed the ball forward along the floor before getting pressure on it. But when you execute panic plays such as Platt did, you deserve to concede a try.

I called it as a knock on by Cats, but after the ruling on the first try, I don't think we were in any position to complain tbh.

It looked like a clear knock on to me, but then so did Sheriffe's try.

Fancy a swap, Agar for Macca!

I won't dignify that last post with a reply.

Just seen the interview he looks like he's on the green mile to me.

Must have my eyes tested becuse i coulkd have sworn it was Platt trying a stupid offload behind the line, how can you blame the coach they stuck to his game plan to race in to a 22 point lead

It was the players making mistakes falling off tackles that cost you the game not Macca

Seems its all Macca's fault for coaching them that way according to received wisdom on here...

That said, as I said somewhere else there IS clearly something wrong with the players' heads - we seem to do this - panic and collapse when after long spell of dominance we get put under a bit of pressure. Its almost as if the players expect it to happen now. Or that's how it looks from a spectators' standpoint anyway. Seeing it every week, and its not new for this season either. Its becoming clearer (I suggest) that that is the issue that needs resolving and fast. As to how...well most on here have already decided...

i quite agree how can you blame the coach for the team throwing away a 26 point lead they brought it all upon themselves the same team you were all positively crowing over at half time

It might just work you know...

Those comparing McBanana with Barack Obama clearly have taken leave of there senses. After watching BBC's show on rhetoric last night after the shambles earlier in the day it is clear that McBanana is more John Prescott than Cicero

.... and beyond. Don't forget we continued in the same vein at the start of the second half, took the ball the full length of the fiedl, and went in for 26 -nil. At this point
a) McNamara's team had been near faultless in the first half
b) McNamara has sent them out from half time in the right mood, as is indisputably shown by the clinical way we got the first score
c) McNamara is not on the pitch, and subs apart, can't do any more for the remaining half hour.

He carries the can - but this is so clear a case of blaming the players on the field, it's difficult to think of a clearer one. At 45 minutes, someone threw a switch and what [icould[/i McNamara have actually done from the sideline?
