| Bulls4champs if you boo Lynch then are you a true supporter of the Bulls?? How about you go to Odsal tomorrow and try and cheer them on eh??
Oh and Bulls4Champs I have picked up a ball, played for nearly 9 years and am on Keighley Cougars Scholarship, so I know what I'm talking about. Jesus even last year when we lost 12 on the bounce I still turned up and have never nor will ever boo a player that walks onto the pitch with a Bulls shirt because I am a true and proud supporter of the BRADFORD BULLS!!!!

You sound like a teenager with little man syndrome. Your not even worth argueing with you bitter and meaningless posts. Clearly by that answer you havent picked up a ball and dont understand what goes on on a pitch on match days. Some people on this forum will have played competitive rugby and understand where lynch is coming from. Think you are in the 5% of fans Lynch was on about and is proving his point tbh mate

| Quote: paulwalker71 "To be honest, this has left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth
After the debacle of last week, I was gradually getting over it all, and with the boost of hearing that Briggs, L'Estange and Langers were back in the squad, I was really pumped for tomorrow. This has all been given a bit of a kick in the gut by the daft comments by Lynchy
I'll give the guy a bit of latitude and say that he got caught in an unguarded moment by Connor, and said a few things that he maybe thought were a bit off-the-record. It must happen. Connor is obviously pretty close to a lot of the players, and I'm sure they say lots of stuff that they never expect to end up in the papers!
More broadly, it does raise some issues about how the club manages the flow of information and interviews to the press. In general, the interviews in the T&A are anodyne, bland to the point of being boring. This one stands out like a sore thumb! Wonder why?
I certainly won't boo Lynch when his name is announced tomorrow, but I'll find it hard to raise much of a cheer'"
Which is why I suggested that the players now close ranks and don't give him anything. Up to now he has been very good and he's got a good rapport with the fans especially through his twitter page. Which begs the question why do this article and why do it today when everyone is now looking forward to the next match?
What sort of a reaction did he honestly think this article would get from the readers, the players and the club?
If it's the case that he's developed this close relationship with the players to the point that they feel they trust him enough to make off the record remarks then he has just completely destroyed any trust they had in him. That would then make you question what his motives were - I'm not going to suggest it's a stitch up job but what exactly was that article all about?

He is paid to play rugby league which he does quite well I suspect he hasn't got a degree in dealing with the media. There are people at the club who should be protecting him from putting himself in the situation he has.

He's also past it and overrated. Dont stoop to that level Edward. Theres no need for it.

I do agree with you after such a bad week and negative comments from fans for Conner Murphey to publish such an article is just going to cause more hostility towards players and causing fans not to support their side. Silly move

What do you think I'll be doing? Cheering for Cas? jeeeez.
Good for you. I hope you make it.
Because I boo a player who makes hidious remarks about Bradford Bulls fans, the very same fans that have more commitment and passion to and for the club that Andy Lynch could ever, does this make me not a true supporter? Lynch is a mercanery, just at Bradford till they stop paying him, i'll support Bulls forever, and I dont appreciate it when some gobby joker from Castleford comes out with some absolute bulle about Bradford Bulls fans.

He's given 100% all of the time he has played for us and has said one illadvised comment and you suddenly speak about as though he's the yorkshire ripper. where is your balance?

You may think so, I dont. Theres been plenty of times when he's been pish poor and looked uninterested IMO.

You see this is a prime example of why the article - the way it was worded and the timing were so misguided whatever the motives of it or how it came about.
We should all players, officials and the fans be looking forward to playing Cas as one. Instead we are all now looking to something that happened a week ago - whilst not positive didn't put us out of any competition - and divided within the fanbase, between the fanbase and the players and possibly between the local rag and the players/club.
You're entitled to your opinion but mine isn't the same when it comes to Lynch's commitment to the cause I've seen more than enough to make me think that, this article not withstanding.

Hidden agendas at work there?'"
Are you suggesting the T&A would rather promote a football team ahead of a rugby league team?

| Quote: Andy Lynch "I know we have to concentrate on Cas but when you come into training and you’re walking around, you do feel embarrassed to show your face because we know as a team we didn’t put in a performance that was good enough for the supporters or the coaching stuff.
“It’s embarrassing because we feel as bad as anyone else that we were that rubbish.'"
And according to him 95% of the fans did not react in a way that was unacceptable to him. After that mauling, and him admitting that they were "lackadaisical" in the warm-up and went into the match "lackadaisical".
All this bullcrap about "fans never having played the game" is disgraceful. Are those who haven't played the game allowed to clap and cheer when we play well, Andy? Or should everyone just shut the fu .ck up at all times as they don't understand the game?
Do you actually remember the last couple of seasons, Andy? Tell you what, la, keep it up and it will be 10% - then 15% - then 20% - you get the picture? Yes, despite recent seasons, 95% of us are more than fair, especially after some first teamers - including you - admitting in previous seasons that not all players were putting in 100%. We hoped those days were gone.
I was not amongst those booing, and I'd suggest as you admit you were "THAT RUBBISH", Andy, you should think yourself damn lucky that even still, 95% of the fans didn't go off on one. And that you would be better off and wiser to be talking to them, not whingeing about the most exciteable and impatient minority.
