And will this thread also get merged... :sarcasm:?

Has Kearney been on yet? It shouldn't have been merged. I forgot about it because the mention of him appearing got merged into a thread of s**t-fighting. Surely moderators could use some common sense in this regard.

Interesting interview. Credit to the panellists who asked some tough questions including questions most on here would have liked to ask ourselves. Also credit to Kearney for being brave enough to take part and answer those questions, and even though he answered some of the questions poorly lacking confidence, at least he had the balls to do so. Is it a coincidence they call that segment 'The Front Row Forum'.

Just watched him on the game plan. The more I listen to him the more I can see that he has no idea. He is still in f**king denial. Now the facts.

1. When they asked him about taking Hindy off for extended periods, he immediately said he played 80 mins last week. In other words he knows he f**ked up there especially with our feeble defence.

2. He sacked Sandow because of his attitude.

3. The board asked him if he needs help, he refused.

4. He reckons he should be retained if we miss the finals.

One thing that infuriated me is that he criticized us for the past 10 or so years. What he needs to f**king realise is that we only missed the semis for 4 seasons before he got here. 2003, 2004, 2008 and 2010. I'm counting since 1997. Not a bad record. However since he got here was have missed them both times and have had the worst start to a season in over half a century. He was also part of the system that robbed us in 2009.

The sooner this goose is f**ked off the better. I cannot wait.

what did he say? i missed it.

did he cry on screen?
it was a collective decision for the players to turn up to the AGM,

Hindy plays the mins as he sees fit at the time, discussed players who "play through the middle"

didn't have the squad last year as he came on board early to mid october 2010

thinks he deserves to keep his job if we don't make the semis

din't think coaching help was required

Loving this forums moderation just quietly, merging threads so we don't end up with 10000x of the same thing makes it much easier to read.

I thought he handled things well and was calm under pressure. He certainly came away from it looking better than Bullgrub Ritchie who just embarrassed himself. Good on him for standing in the fire and taking responsibility for where we are at. I wouldn't mind seeing some of that kind of leadership coming from those that employed him rather than the apparent political survival mode they have have reverted to.

Tony, if we come last I hope he still takes fully responsibility and negotiates a payout at a lower level than what was in his initial contract. He doesn't deserve a full years payout. Then I will respect him.

What if we come eighth?

Assuming the board let him be the head coach until the end of the season I would let him see out his contract for 2013 because it will show improvement. However if he goes backwards with a stronger side which to this date he has, he should be thrown out on his f**king ear.

Why is that so difficult for you to grasp ?

However I wouldn't let him try and demonstrate anything for the remainder of this season. His piss poor results show that he is garbage. I have no confidence in him and I also think the players don't either. A proper coach would have a greater chance of getting us in the semis from here . That's my opinion.
