Sad times at the bulls. I think they are finished.
This is the thing. Everybody was impressed and pleased with our young guns, the team having exceeded expectations but with loan padding. Everybody knew we needed grunt an experience. Everybody knew come Easter we'd be tacked if we didn't get some experience in, as everybody knew we'd not have all the loan players. Everybody knew that we'd start to get floggings if you just play teams of boys against men, however good and promising the boys. Everybody knew all of this. Despite everybody being able to see the train coming, our oik owners keep their hands in their pockets and their lips tightly sealed, while the fans pay to watch inevitable massacres, and winnable games that could secure our immediate future ending up annihilations. The honeymoon is over with these guys for me. We've been given to duds, and the fans and the young lads are being used as cannon fodder by owners who give no sign of any willingness or ability to do anything about it.
Maybe, just maybe, today's flogging might galvanise them into sticking their heads over the parapet and actually doing something. It may not yet quite be too late, but even if we scrape survival, the point stands. There is no excuse for the way these "owners" are allowing things to collapse, and if they've no willingness or ability to do anything about it then why TF did they acquire the club, and why were they allowed to?
