his almost 4 years with the club, and started back with a bang in the 30 minutes he played during the second half of the Treviso game. I'm sure players read such comments on the forum and think why the hell should i play for this team.
Baggy Trousers should think long and hard before writing his posts, as it's not the first time his comments have been contentious. Perhaps he does it just to shock or satisfy some warped ego.
You realise Baggy Trousers is an Ulsterman right?

The scrum half selection for this weekend is going to be more to do with Floods fitness than the form of Youngs. If Flood is fit enough to take the place kicks then Youngs will start, if he is not Mele will start.

Not sure to which of my pearls of wisdom this refers?

Wood and Robshaw were capped before, Parling was uncapped but played for the Baa-Baas under MJ and Morgan rejected a call up under MJ.

Lancaster has brought in the players who weren't ready/ available under MJ.
Including the players who were too 'Young(s)' or Launchbury-ed for MJ's squad that he couldn't do more than tinker with under the agreements.....I think we have reason to believe that SL has NOT been as innovative as some believe. I didn't think a lot of MJ's selections, but I object to him being misrepresented unfairly - as the press , SL and some players do (with an eye on their selection, eh, Dylan? Cashton?).

Martin's appointment was like Kevin Keegan's for the soccer team. A legend of the game, who wants to help out, well meaning, and is appointed by misguided popularist choice.

Modern players are motivated by rugby coaching nerds. Coaches who have a long term passion to coach and develop players and develop teams. We have one at tigers in RC. England have four in Lancaster, Wig, Farell and Catt. The top of the premiership soccer is dominated by them...Mourinho, Wenger, Rodgers, Moyes, Martinez.

Martin has shown no interest in coaching either side of his England role. Players can see right through it after a while after the legend bit has worn off.
