I was under the impression that the players had a lot of faith in BMc

I'm guessing the players do have alot of faith in BMc...this is just a forum with people who'll start rumours etc to rock the boat and build unrest...albeit without realising how it could actually begin a process to remove the coach or build unrest.

Before I get slapped down by someone...which is inevitable as there are some posters who scan these pages every 3/4 seconds to comment on everything....I do think everyone is entitled to their opinion and yes, this is a forum and as such you can post your points. All I'll say is take 99.9% of it as either rubbish or some blinkered view.

I mean we pretty much have scrapped a team together over the last couple of weeks to play...injuries hit us hard every year mainly because we spend the money on the first choice 13/14 players and then panic when they get hurt!

I think BMc is a great coach, who cares what he says to the media?? I wouldn't be suprised if the media twisted his words......I mean, we've never heard them do that before have we?!!

Adios.

The club have to put up with Brian's outbursts when we play badly, he is passionate, that is the way he is. And to be fair he usually only does it a couple of times a season. Ideally. criticism of players is best kept behind closed doors, at least he does not criticise individual players. A stronger PR person could try and persuade Brian not to explode but I can't see this happening. He calls it the way he sees it, and I much prefer it to Tony Rae speak. What worries me is that he seems to lose his vision as to where we are going purely on the basis of a few bad displays. He must take the longer view, which is we are getting better and stronger, albeit slowly.

It is frustrating. but half the teams in the SL would snap up Brian if they could and that is one of many reasons why we should support him.

Thanks and no thanks, Big G.

Your "snip" has neutered my original posting and rendered it unintelligible.

As this was my very first posting on this site, I would have thought that some gentle guidance, direct to me behind the scenes, explaining that I ought to have linked to the Sky Sports article (and not cut and paste extracts from it), would have been much more helpful.

If, for instance, you'd taken a moment to explain to me how to edit my original post, then I'd have been delighted to make the necessary amendments, rather than you having to deliver your Big G "snip".

Do you always "snip" the postings of newbies to this forum in such an insensitive, high-handed way?

I get the message that I've inadvertently infringed your rules and will avoid posting again.

Get used to the moderators-They are the Nazi's of the 21st century.

What you will also discover is they contribute nothing to any thread and feed of other posters comments.

You will now find that this will be the last post from Wire-Quin as I will receive a warning and a subsequent ban for questioning the masters

No they dont. He is an employee and will follow the clubs business code as set by the owner. Passion as an excuse is no defence in any other walk of life- Adult films excepted! If he struggles with his comments then maybe he could send his No2 to the press conferences or equally learn from his mistakes-if he believes thats what they are.

My concern is that if he struggles to maintain his composure at the press conferences, how composed is he when the decisions are being made during the game- replacements etc

All this stuff about BM is getting ridiculous and totally OTT.......I can`t believe that Quins fans are being critical of his honesty...if we played rubbish and he says we played rubbish, what is the problem??

Any such comments are always of a general nature and not directed at a named player/s...............I seem to remember Purdo being blasted by a few fans last season for making a similar, honest, general statement.

I for one am glad that he is at Quins, the team has improved, Quins are gaining more respect in SL and despite our current form I think we are going in the right direction. He is recognised as a good coach and earning the respect of his peers........get over it people, it would be a sad day for London RL if he left.

I like him as coach but no one is beyond criticism or reproach. He caused a stir after his comments following the Catalans game in Wales.

You say the team has improved-Out of curiosity what is that statement measured upon- possible the TR team?

How we have apparently improved since BM took over i'll never know...

You could possibly just about make a case for us going nowhere, backwards certainally.
