carter getting a round of applause

Give it a rest FFS.
We wouldn't even have a team or club now.

I get it, which is why I held off, but when more than one person mentions it to you, all of which post on here, it does make you think.

Also, like I mentioned, I think any takeover of any kind, would be announced through the channels of a club statement.

Was that Henry Boot?

So instead of guff how about you clearly state what you wanted the club to say?

Also, did you attend and ask the relevant questions you wanted answers to or submit them through correct channels?

You are making this about Carter and singling Carter out. That tells me you have an ace to grind with Carter and that is not the purpose of the forum.

Calling fans stupid because of your dislike for Carter and them not sharing your opinion is a poor attitude to take in my opinion.

It’s not blind loyalty. I’m not happy with where we are and things haven’t gone the way we as fans or the club wanted it to. It’s been acknowledged on many platforms.

I don’t want the club to procrastinate over it. I want them and the players to address it and turn it around. It’s clear there’s a willingness to do that from the club.

Nice one. Thanks for that. I agree with everything in that report except the Hall issue. My view is that swapping Hall for Dagger and obtaining an OK full back, was highly unlikely to get us any league points. Better to take that situation on the chin and play kay, no matter what his shortcomings at fb. But its done now. Everything else is bang on and, no matter how much the perennial bellyachers moan, this is our reality as a club and solvency trumps all in the grown up world

If only you'd gone so you could ask your hard hitting questions.
The fact that the whole room responded shows you don't understand the question.

yes the usual grovellers who hang on the messiahs every word, I know let's play the victim again and get my toe nails cut and hair combed by the golden girls. Oh let's not forget he saved the club ten years, he could of lost his house and put all his family on the street because people just come in and do that for a club they don't support. Not having none of his sob stories

Yes I think it was

You had your chance last night to have your say , like the rest of us but chose not to , here is not the place to have a dig at people who may not agree with your views how the club is run , it was last night like I did what I asked why it’s taken so long to get a decent competitive game out of the players .

Oh but apparently it is the place if you want to have a safe dig from behind a keyboard and not give any logical reason for your hate.

Glad you appreciate he saved the club.

They say they have the best interests of the club at heart but keep a coach who plays the worst rugby in SL, would rather play other clubs youngsters than ours and has a win percentage of 0.

The Hall v Dagger swap was nailed on to be the hot topic and quite rightly popped up 1st. Those on the stage could say nothing to convince the fans otherwise. Terrible and pointless deal but what's done is done.

York Court and Henry Boot Developments owe us more than they have given us….a lot more for the way they went about the Newmarket development.

They had 0 intention of providing that facility.

We have though got to move on and if we have got some funding out of them on top of the contribution to the redevelopment then it’s better than nothing at a club where every penny counts.

This is true and it’s time to move on.

If it’s £60k a season over 5 years that’s a positive contribution and will be welcome.

How is he leading us into oblivion again? I've forgotten that bit. Please explain what we rose tinted and stupid supporters are missing.

On a personal level I am inclined to find this tenor of dismissive rhetoric only mildly offensive… my biggest issue with it, is that it lacks intellectual gravitas.. just an emotional and ill-conceived verbal diarrhoea. It offers no alternative hypothesis or strategy and speaks to a destructive and anarchistic nature… someone who prefers to throw stones rather than build with them.

That said, our current dualistic society has created this! So we cannot be surprised when we see a whole espoused ethos based on a single prejudice, and ‘angry’ is the cool psychological state.

I do not share this person’s view… and that will make them angry… (even though they will undoubtedly deny such an attitude)…I met Carter once and I shook his hand and thanked him for stepping in where, and whence, no one else would… I don’t know Minards but I share his attitude and application to business. I think he’s a safe pair of hands.

I’m awake early (it’s 3:30am) and eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see Trinity on TV … just as I did in the 70s … or when we had some (relative) success… and just as I did during our seasons in relegation fights and even in lower divisions… does that make me ‘rose tinted’?… possibly!

Moreover, I think it’s part of what makes me a fan!

Poor recruitment, poor head coach choice and sticking with him , 12 straight loses and rooted at the foot of the table as a result of squad penny pinching.

What i don't get is Carter has sacked coaches for less. Why is this time so different? Yes the squad isn't great but i'm convinced it's better than 6 points a game.

Has he?

Agar walked,
Webster walked,
Chester, he was massively pressured into that decision after 3 years of poor performance,
Poching, contract wasn't renewed.

He's not someone who seems to sack coaches willy nilly, which is an admiral trait to not be too trigger happy, but bloody hell it's clear things aren't working with the current set up. If he genuinely believes he's seen enough from the coaching staff/squad that we will stay up then he's watching a different game to everybody else.

With Webster & Agar he had ‘the chat’ and they agreed between them it was time for a change. For some reason that talk doesn’t seem to be happening now despite us being even worse than we were then.

Maybe that is being left to any potential incoming replacement for the holy one.

I do fear though that the longer that goes on, that any chats will be too little, too late.

By sticking with a coach who is so far out of his depth, has led us to 12 straight losses and down into the Championship. If we do go down then I don't see where the money is going to come from to be able to build a team as well as pay off the loan to the council for the stadium. There is also the thing that nobody seems to mention which is directors loans...

I could have used longer and more convoluted words like yourself but lets be honest the majority of our fans would not understand them, they are stupid enough to be so far up Carter's booty that all you can see is their toes so understanding words and phrases such as "It offers no alternative hypothesis or strategy and speaks to a destructive and anarchistic nature" is going to be far beyond them.

In terms of offering a Hypothesis, I hypothesize that through terrible recruitment and coaches that the board are leading us down. I do not blame the coach personally as it is not his fault he was given the job when by every conceivable metric he is not up to it.

My solution to the problem in the short term is to relieve Applegarth of his duties and replace him with a more experienced and proven option such as Danny Ward, Brian Mcdermott, John Kear. In the long term we need somebody at the club who actually knows about the game, we have nobody at the club who is experienced in the game of rugby, we are crying out for a Director of Rugby.

Yes I am angry and I feel I have every right to be.
