Jimmy Lowes - Absolute Disgrace : Sat Feb 28, 2009 12:33 am  

Now professional sportsmen have to take the good times as well as the bad times, but the abovementioned thug takes the mickey. This is the second time in two seasons that i have watched Mr Lowes threaten and offer to fight Wakefield fans when things are not going his way. There is always going to be a bit of banter with opposition coach's but to react like that is not acceptable. I will be writing formally on monday morning to the Warrington club. No wonder he was in the stands for the second half after offering to fight half the crowd behind his dugout in the first half!

I heard from someone who was stood round there that jimmy was getting comments like "getting sacked in the morning" or "jimmys got the monk on" then after 1st half he said some words (i were not told what these were must be the aforementioned comments) however i believe he also stuck 2 fingers up at a section of our fans, can you see any other "professional" coach doing this

Pointed at a Wakey fan, then pointed to the exit, and then mouthed quite clearly, "I'll see you after", and repeated it. He then pointed at another fan and did the same. It was clearly an invitation for a fight, although got more laughs than fear, and only put the crowd on his back even more.

Yes, he was getting grief, but the fans were giving him grief because it was clearly winding him up. It distracted him wonderfully.

Not unusual for Mr Lowes did this quite a few times during his time at Salford.
Good win tonight for you guys.

Yes that's why we carried on doing it, he popped up when they scored a try and then sat back down again.

When he was pointing I thought it was at screen as they has just scored. But when he did not come back in the 2nd half we missed him

Jimmys got the monk na na na.

Made some noise tonight and hope it can be like that every week.

shocking he's feeling the pressure and did the right think to get away from the fans, I don't condone his actions if true but he's a lot to learn and tonight could of sealed his destiny, I watched the wires walk away after the whistle together with Morley a lonesome nearly in

Wolves owner Simon Moran took the unusual step of entering the after-match press conference to ask what his coach had said. May I be the first to congratulate Nigel Wright on his temporary new job.

Actually thought Lowes interview with Sky was as honest an interview your ever going to hear.
Yes we did give them a major touch up tonight but I do hope the lad survives and the players,board and fans support him cos he will make a good coach, and at least one with a sense of humour.

Don't see much evidence of that personally, and a big spending, big ambition team in the top flight isn't the place where you are going to get the time to learn that.
