| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Did you go? As our attack got over the Salford line at least 7 times, I'd say Halley's got a point? If our attack is "one dimensional and slow", how did that happen?
I also don't think Salford were "depressingly below average". They rode their luck, with all those missed chances by us, but deserve some credit because they played some good stuff too, and scored some useful tries.'"
Come off it, with the amount of possession we had, we should have been 16-20 points ahead. The fact we didn't wasn't down to Salford being brilliant (no disrespect, they deserved the victory) but us dropping passes, taking the wrong option etc etc.
I personally don't think it is a lack of effort, I think the players [iare[/i trying....only they aren't capable of it consistently. Once every few weeks is not enough. I was at Salford and I'll be there against Wakey and for the rest...but it's time for some honesty. Bradford are not very good.

Come off what?
Quote: Johnoco "...with the amount of possession we had, we should have been 16-20 points ahead. '"
Yes.
Quote: Johnoco "The fact we didn't wasn't down to Salford being brilliant (no disrespect, they deserved the victory) but us dropping passes, taking the wrong option etc etc.'"
Yes. All of which I have said. In detail.
Quote: Johnoco "I personally don't think it is a lack of effort, I think the players [iare[/i trying....only they aren't capable of it consistently.'"
Well, they certainly haven't been capable of consistency this year. As for trying, the big problem with what you say is, it's not what the players say. When the players admit that not all of them played 100% then you have to accept that as fact.
Quote: Johnoco "Once every few weeks is not enough. I was at Salford and I'll be there against Wakey and for the rest...but it's time for some honesty. Bradford are not very good.'"
What "honesty"? I mean, do you believe that there is anyone who thinks the second-bottom team could possibly be described as "very good"? I don't.

And [iI[/i can't have a pop at McNamara for being repetitive yet [iYOU[/i can say the same to me?
Hardly seems fair either does it?

| MacNamara's never been particularly good at the media side of things. Some people aren't. Of the many concerns I've got at the moment regarding the Bulls, the quality of the coach's interviews come way down the list.

Apologies then, I just got the impression you were trying to say that anyone saying this was somehow not getting behind the team.

As you may have worked out, the Mummy series isn't something I've kept up todate with, although at times the running style of some of our defence is very reminiscent of your average undead . . .

Fair do's. But no, constructive criticism - however severe - and supporting the team are not mutually exclusive.

You don't get how this works, do you? The point was a stuck record criticisng what it thinks is a stuck record.
For the record, (aaargh)in fact McNamara isn't a stuck record, whereas you are.
For another thing, he is ASKED for his opinions on games, tactics, results, events, referees, etc, and is obliged to provide comments for the meeja. You're not.
For another thing, having been asked his vews, what do you want him to do? Lie? make stuff up? or do as he does and say what he thinks?
For yet another thing, there isn't anything except "I quit" he could ever say that you wouldn't slam.

Oh, I do. Your double standards are quite clear.
However, I have no wish to carry on arguing with you and being blamed for derailing a thread - find someone else to "play with".
