Mike Ford's version of taking responsibility
Sara Elgan: at times like this, do you question what you're doing?
MF: yeah, we constantly review what we're doing and in the last couple of weeks, it's been wet and windy in England"
Eh? Apart from the fact that the Bath unoffy is little more than a propaganda site for the cheerleaders (and Ballsout), how are the fans being so patient?

He looks like a man on life support in the dour first half against Glaws (8-3). The highlight was the ref getting in the way again.....L Smith wrote:Sara Elgan: at times like this, do you question what you're doing?

Re: Mike Ford's version of taking responsibility
Interesting to see his use of "we". OK if you are part of a team effort, but the question asked was "do 'you' question?".
His use of "we", when the answer demanded an "I" response, demonstrates that he is not accepting responsibility, or that he doesn't have a clue, hence the weather reference. The implication of that is that Bath do not possess a wet-weather game, and that Ford does not accept responsibility for their limited approach.
Bath - the potential new home for Connor O'Shea?

Oh dear, Brucie doesn't look happy. 11-15.

Good Glaws win

Re: Mike Ford's version of taking responsibility
Just lost at home. Mr Craig did not look happy. No doubt Ford snr will use the excuse that he lost both his 10s to the 6 nations plus Devotto and Eastmond during the game.

He'll definitely need his meds after the second half - totally dominated by Glaws, who deserved their win in the end.
Bath fans streaming out before the end.
What a shame

Jolly terrible, eh, but Yuppie Bruce-----doesnt he look a t*at--------- wont have the balls to sack Flakey Ford Senior whilst Flakey Ford Junior is in the squad
Re: Mike Ford's version of taking responsibility
Blah blah, weather.
Blah blah players missing
Blah blah, back to Farleigh house and work harder

Re: Mike Ford's version of taking responsibility
Lack of leadership on and particularly off the field have cost Bath dearly.
Fords post match interview: "we weren't good enough". " disappointed all round. We've got to stick together (twice), and prepare for Worcester - that's all we can do. It was difficult to play out there, were missing some players."
When asked what he will do said "We've lost quite a few on the run . . . We're going to get better . . ."
"We"?
The question for Brucie is what is he going to do?

Re: Mike Ford's version of taking responsibility
Loved the shots of Brucie. Facial expression looked like someone had put the wrong olive in his Martini.
