I can accept defeat but not lack of effort. : Sun May 17, 2009 5:08 pm  

I have followed Bradford Bulls and Northern since the mid seventies, good times and bad, more bad than good as it goes, but I have NEVER in thirty odd years felt embarrassed to be a Bradford fan, at least not until today I hadn't.
What I witnessed today was a disgrace, a shambles, a totally unacceptable lack of effort by 17 men, yes I said 17 men as the term 'team' cannot be applied to them. I have seen dark days as a Bradford fan, and I have seen us take some real hammerings, but whilst taking those hammerings the players would give 100% passion and commitment to the cause, a bit of pride in the shirt, a never say die attitude and fight to the end.
That was not present today, there were just 17 men who could not care less that they were about to be humiliated, about to be beaten, at home, by a side who had never even gained a point in Super League. Seventeen men who had no pride in wearing the shirt of my beloved club.
I call on all true Bulls fans to add a reply below asking for answers from the club as to what's going on, and I will then forward this thread to Peter Hood

You're going way OTT, and being totally disrespectful to Crusaders to boot.

Were you not at the Warrington game ? because i thought that was more embarrasing.

Yes Warrington game was more embarassing. This was more expected than anything.

Unfortunately.

The wire game was a mile worse than this IMO.

admit it you players tried there best but are just too sh it

Due to a badly broken ankle today was my first game of the season unfortunately, so I cannot comment on the Wire game.

Not being disrespectful to Celtic, they totally deserved their win no doubt about it, but the Bulls were a complete and utter shambles and Ben Jeffries the less said the better!!

You were lucky to have broken your ankle.
