So - will the Cunningham apologists' society now have fewer members after that? Will they now see what the enlightened amongst us have been saying since the second he was appointed?

Does the "Cunningham [sic] Apologists' Society" exist? Does it have an index of card-carrying members? If not I'm calling a straw man argument.

I don't know anyone, ANY-ONE who believes Cunningham is anything greater than a coaching debutant. There may exist a few fans who prefer home-grown to the best Australian or Kiwi coach available - but you won't find much evidence to support this argument in this forum. But by all means - feel free to search whatever archival material you like. I await you skulking back to this forum - tail between your legs.

We are ALL completely in the dark as to Cunningham's bona fides. Don't try to fool anyone by suggesting our recent dip in form is proof positive because you know it's possible to dig up a bad run of form on ANY coach - no matter how successful.

So why don't you quit trying to suggest there is some kind of militant pro-Cunningham faction that you've been fearlessly fighting a lone battle against since his arrival because it's a BARE FACED LIE. Whether Cunningham is any good or not - there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with suggesting that young coaches need TIME. Otherwise there wouldn't be any new coaches.

I'd say you are acting like a spoiled little child - but a child doesn't know any better. You do. Or at least - you SHOULD DO.

A bit pot calling the kettle black. The unfortunate thing about this forum is that ADULT debate seems to be the exception rather than the rule, and you are as guilty as anyone!!!!!

If there's a poster on this forum who is prepared to go into greater detail supporting his or her arguments I'd like to meet him/her.

So don't expect me to break out the rosary beads over my occasional teases.
