Oh good. Another thread about how if you see a problem with how the team performs then you're not a proper supporter.

Here's a little bit of knowledge for you. The people you say are moaning aren't doing it because they think it's fun or clever. They're doing it BECAUSE they love the club and are unhappy with the way their club is going and are willing to stand up and let their voice be heard that they've had enough of the poor performances, the recruitment of players who are not up to the challenge and a coach who has taken a team of defending champions and turned them into basement, i can't even use the term battlers because the team rolls over against whoever turns up, so I shall call them wasters. Because that's what they are. They're a waste of space on the pitch and a waste of money for the hard working people who actually have to PAY for that p1ss poor performance they put in week after week after week..


I'm obviously not a 'proper supporter', pointless thing to say seeing as i am every single game, i just hate it when fickle fans rip into them, anyway what i want to know then is what would you do then?

Any other people with ideas? - If your going to say sack the coach then who will replace him then? :roll:

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train

no no no no no.

that line doesn't hold water any more. the team are clueless in attack and like paper in defense. instead of saying why we can't sack mcnamara i say tell us why he should be given any longer. he's failed to prove he can do the job and before anyone pulls out that other excuse they use for mcnamara, namely that the club has no money, i'd like you to take a long look at huddersfield who've never had big crowds yet they've been to more finals than bradford have since mcnamara took charge. Or HKR who've improved each year since winning promotion to SL during which time Bradford have degraded in their performances.

So come on, if we're not sacking what's the answer?

But that doesn't matter because there's always positives to take from the game isn't there stevie mac? there's the fact we have injuries and no-one else in the league has ever had that happen to them, and don't forget the refs, the rules and the whole RFL are against us every time we take to the field. Isn't that right stevie mac? It's nowt to do with you not being good enough. It's everyone else's fault.


100% correct FACT

OK !RYAN!, I've supported Bradford since 1952 and even stood amongst crowds of only 700 or so in 1963 when the club folded. I think therefore that I can class myself as a true supporter.

I like McNamara, he was a great player, but I'm afraid he has failed as a coach, not only because of his game plans (or lack of them), but also because of his signing of mediocre players.

It's quite common to find that if a new coach is appointed to a team, that team suddenly starts to play with more effort since they are all naturally trying to impress the new coach. The time has come to do this.

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

If you actually went carry on moaning, if anybody on here who has complained and sat and watched it on Sky, not actually supporting the team should make no comment at all, Sacking McNamara will get us nowhere, who the hell is going to replace him, Cullen, J.Sharp, you must be kiddin me, if either of those two came in i would personally hand my season ticket back in. I just looking forward to hearing from the two-face idiots on this board who praise the team when we beat Hull on Sunday which im confident we will do providing we drop certain players, such as, Jeffries and if Deacon learns to kick then maybe, we need to bring some youth in, it has worked for Wigan, Donaldson would be a start. One positive for me tonight was Platt, much better and yep i feel sorry for Menzies too, Sykes was terrible and i forgot Nero was even playing, even though Sam was injured coming into the game, i thought he was quite poor. Sheriffeisn't very convincing once again, ok got the try but thanks to Menzies

Thoughts?


Yes, thoughts.

Lets get this straight. Are you honestly saying that those who saw the game on Sky are not entitled to any opinion on the game at all?

Really?

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

That's what he said. So i can't comment because unfortunately had to watch the game on Sky as I had to go in to work. It probably doesn't matter that I went in a hour and half late to work and will have lost more money than if I'd gone over to Wigan my opinion won't be valid.

sorry for not turning up to the match, currently in the forces deployed in afghanistan and fighting for my life, you've just made yourself out to be an idiot on this board!
