All this talk was chiefly from that great oracke BSC. The rest was tongue in cheek, so to speak.

Look if we beat Saints and Leeds I'll happily push my lips against ... well you get the idea. But what you are talking about I'm not prepared to do.

Still, I have to laugh at the double standards of some. It appears that sacking a manager after three seasons is considered by some people to be "knee jerk" yet two wins is all that is required in order to prove the doubters wrong?

Seems odd that.

You're still sooo desperate to be recognized as the man who "called it" that McNamara was "no good" and should be sacked, that you can't see how pathetic these style whingeing posts of yours now look.

I think that with what has gone on, and especially due to the fans forums and the information people now have, more and more are accepting first that we really are rebuilding and second that this is a process that is not measured in weeks or months but years. Added to a better understanding of the problems the new regime inherited (and still struggle with) most now seem to be more interested in seeing the process progress. Of course some good wins as we go along won't hurt.

As for results, I do not minimize their importance, but I am confident that when we have most of our key players fit then given a fair shot we will trouble every team we play from now to the play-offs.

"Doubting" or not doubting the coach is so yesterday. His position seems secure as anybody's for the rest of the season and probably beyond if the reports from the forum have caught the Odsal mood, so I reckon we can give that sterile argument a rest and concentrate on the games.

Where did I "doubt" the coach in that post then?

As you may have noticed (or maybe not as it is you after all), I have not said a great deal on the McNamara situation recently as it was generally believed to be "getting on peoples' t!ts" so I gave it a rest.

As it stands now, the floor is there for Mr McNamara to back up his promises of a better second half of the season. He has started very well indeed if the truth be told but I would say that it was just a little bit early to be suggesting that we "kiss his ass" because of two wins.

I assume you feel otherwise.

Yeah but surely if we were to do the double over Saints and Leeds it would be worth a kiss then?

You can't understand your own posts?

Ah. Not just sulking at the results, then?

See, it's your choice of phrase: "if the truth be told". It just shows you're not happy he's started very well.

You do no such thing, you know as well as anyone what my views are on McNamara and the club and ass-kissing doesn't feature. Though if they replace Mac with Kylie I may have to reconsider that one.

That does not even make any sense.

However, I have no wish to start ANOTHER debate with you so I think we should maybe just leave it there.
