Not sure that's a good signing. Yes, he can be spectacular, but also very average. Actually, a perfect match, given Bath's performance this season

Sorry JG, didn't see it coming! Thought that an insight into Fords lack of self awareness was interesting, and that Showing Cockers has a sly sense of humour might be entertaining . . . . .








Wrong! Mea culpa.

The 64000$ question...

IF Ford looked like Cockers, would Mrs Craig allegedly have still sanctioned him ?

And another to mull over--------- who is the nearest Rugby Coaching Clone to Arsend Whingher, apart of course from Voldemort....

[L Smith]

Ford: "Clearly we have got to look at the coaching structure and to freshen things up."

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/ ... p-after-d/

Also a few words from Cockers:

"There’s a party atmosphere around this place today and I am not sure you would get that at Welford Road if we were sat in ninth,” Cockerill said. “I might be in deep trouble if we finished ninth. I was in deep trouble when we finished third."

Let's hope Leicester beat Sarries, as another semi final hammering and Cockerill is going to look like a muppet.

The only reason he isn't in deep trouble this year is because the board gave him a cheque book to cover for his inadequacies and "Get Mauger".

Our pack has been poor this year. He is in no place to be smug.

Funny: you and Roly remind me of the two hecklers on the balcony. Statler and Waldorf (but without the humour and self awareness)!

Oh the irony of the CA, for whom 'oozing gloop' as it was so eloquently put, appears to be a pastime....

If you'd actually bothered to read what I'd said, it might actually sink in that I offered a fair counter-point argument and actually tried to reign Darj in.

But I stand by what I said. RC doesn't have a stick to beat anyone with - yet, especially against a team he'd just lost to, and has lost to 3 from the last four occasions in fact.

Good comment from Cockers, and the fun reaction from the heckler sisters!

I had noted that your post was surprisingly balanced but my observations are based on a wider data set; even a stopped clock is right twice per day .
As for the CA (stitch my sides back up), I only spent one season on the benches in the Crumbie; it was like purgatory! Look, Roly, you can't troll your way through the forum, then stick your bottom lip out when some banter comes back your way.
As per usual, this will probably be removed once you've PM'd the mod(s)...

FYI I've probably PM'd the Mods once or even twice.... it seems to be the preserve of others to complain about my posts and get them removed - you know, when some banter comes back their way....

Trolling.... yes, well.... designed to DELIBERATELY annoy and wind up with little actual content. I may rub people up the wrong way, but I absolutely do try to put forward a counter-argument whenever possible. Some call it trolling, I prefer to think of my missives as offering a differing opinion.

Roly Poly, pumpkin pie,
Wrote a post and made them them cry;
When the Mods come out to play,
Roly Poly runs away.

If you think that an unnecessary comment from the DoR aimed at a team that has just beaten his team, and pretty much had the better of them in the last two seasons, including a 45 - 0 drubbing and a walloping in an AP semi-final (in excess of 40 points overall) as 'good', then it says more about the both of you than someone prepared to challenge those comments as being ill-advised under the circumstances.

[northerntiger]

Hardly ill advised
We are 4th, they are 9th
We are in the semi, they are not

All that needs to be said really

I think Bath started the post match contest of putting your balls on the table to see who's were biggest, Cockers was just polite enough to join in. I'm not sure whether you think Bath won that particular contest or whether you're just sulking because they didn't?

Gloating isn't particularly clever coming from a DoR either. But I suppose its to be expected on a club's forum, where inevitably people will attempt to use it as an opportunity to use that club's success (perceived or otherwise) to fill in the gaps in their own (perhaps) unfulfilled lives.

I'm disappointed that Tigers didn't win. I'm no fan of Bath believe me! But there's more to Cockers's sly dig than meets the eye I feel.

Gloating is such an ugly word....
