Royal Rother Yeah, but rugby is pretty shit, isn't it...?
Any game where you can kick the ball off the pitch to gain an advantage has to be shit.

Pepe the Horseman Is it abusing people on internet forums?

Ian RoyalRoyal LadyIan Royal Lets start at being certain we'd lose. At us only getting worse. At Adkins being clueless to do anything to stop the rot.
Oh look. We won. All wrong.
This is what I, personally, said and I stand by it:Royal Lady I don't expect a lot of flannel - I expect him to admit it's not good enough and he'll be making changes - I don't want to hear about his blooming positivity - what is there to be positive about with the way we've been playing? If we win today - it will be fortunate, he's never positive about beating the opposition he always bigs them up
Not everything is about you.

Pandoras Box PeterRoyal76. If you don't understand what 'bit' a real supporter does ( ask the team) you really shouldn't be on here.

sandman Do we really have to have the old "Rugby's better than football"/"Football could learn from Rugby" stuff? From an outside perspective there seem to be very few rules involved in rugby which I would suggest may be why it's quite easy to know all of the rules.

Royal Lady Except I didn't say anything about gutless players. Adkins needs to get a grip on reality, not us. We have had some abysmal games and instead of admitting that and saying we should do better, he talks about a 10 minute spell where we passed the ball well. His favourite word is positive - well, to some of us who actually watch games and feel entitled to express an opinion on here more than some, the players don't share his positivity. Yesterday's win was excellent but it doesn't mean we are now playing like we should be. Where were our forwards for example?

if anything rugby has too many rules, which results in a stop start game, where the reason for many of the decisions remains a mystery, despite the refs being mic'd up

Royal Lady He doesn't have to single any one out. And if the players haven't sussed by now that they've not been playing very well, then we are doomed, doomed I tell thee.
All he needs to do is actually agree with the fans on occasion, when we've played absolutely dog-shite, rather than pretending everything is hunky dory. The players know they, collectively, haven't been doing well, so him, saying "we need to do much better than of late" or "we are all unhappy with the latest results and are working on improvements" - doesn't single any one out, but it does acknowledge there is a bit of a bloody problem.
Though, from his "interview" with Dellor after the game, clearly he is not allowed to spend any money due to FFP and so his hands have been somewhat tied.

Handsome Manfloyd__streeteHandsome Man Sacking Rodgers was a mistake
Why was it a mistake? Within a matter of months we'd improved so dramatically that we were talking about a play-off push in Spring having been adrift in the bottom 3 in January. We also enjoyed our best FA Cup run in 83 years. The following season we reached the play off final. The season after we won the title in the thrilling fashion. All without Brendan Rodgers.
We lost in a play-off final to Rodgers, and also lost our chance to develop a style of football that might have given us a chance in the Premiership when we sacked him.

So who has been saying all that which you are talking about then?
