Well, the libs could probably run Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton and she'd win. She's innocent now, right?

Both Abbott and Gillard have very similar (negative) popularity ratings.

I'm trying to think of a Roosters analogy with regard to the selection of players/coaches.

It's a bit like selecting our 5/8 every week. Anasta's got the job (like it or not)... if he was punted for Mortimer it wouldn't exactly turn our fortunes around this season.

No but the majority still want them punted

I find it all very scary Politics wise not footy wise

Danish, you and I havnt always got along but I have to agree with you here. Those who accept this bullshit we are being dished up are causing more trouble than those who are actually making a stand and voicing their opinions. If nothing gets said, nothing will will be done to fix it. Those who accept the mediocracy dont deserve to celebrate in the teams success when it comes because there is no way in hell that sort of support can get the team anywhere except average. Its a competition and average (or in our case below average) is simply NOT enough.

Couldnt disagree more with the bolded text above. Thank God I dont believe the majority of supporters would endorse your comments either.

To be loyal, resilient, respectful in supporting your team in an almost unconditional way is way more helpful to the greater good and future success of the team. Ask the players and coaches what they respond more positively to? It sure isnt as you suggest.

You honestly think that verballing the coach or players will actually MAKE them perform better "or at least think about it" as some other person on here said.

I can assure they they want to perform well and win every week and having part of the club (the fans) abuse them is counter-productive in a big way. They know whats not working and are sufficiently embarrased when times are tough, without supporters advising them.

It serves no worthwhile purpose other than to satisfy the anger, irritation or embarrassment of the abuser, and a few of their sheep-like mates following in a Mccarthyism type way.

To suggest the consistently loyal and non-threatening and non-abusive fans are not deserving of celebrating the teams success is one of the most misguided assertions ive seen on here...(and there is strong competition).

I hope you dont honestly believe your dribble. This thread has over 17 pages of pros and cons on the subject. I think you will see that you are in the minority here. But good on you for accepting mediocracy. Average performances all the way hey! Woooohhhoooooo! Wave the flag hard... just make sure its only at half mast though as it sure as hell doesnt deserve to be at the top atm.

The second highlighted part of your ramblings is totally your own suggestion. Not mine. I said those who support the teams current position dont deseve it. No the others that you have tried to twist it into. If you are truely care, you will vent and not lie to yourself that all is ok when it far from it. Wake up sunshine.

You are a faithful and loyal Roosters supporter.

I like Brian Smith. Good Coach

Mrs. Smith I didn't realise you were a member of this forum.

I wasnt there to witness yesterdays antics but I 100% with the stand the supporters took. Their execution may have been a little messy but the idea of voicing directly, I cant agree with more.

I strongly object to this statement. Every fan is entitled to support the team the way they see fit. Every fan is entitled to an opinion on the team's performance. Just because it is different to yours or others does not mean they do not deserve to celebrate when the team has success. So if we go out and beat the Tigers next week with virtually the same team does this mean those who have blown up deluxe this week at Smith's team selections etc do not deserve to celebrate the victory? I will not have someone questioning my passion for the club just because I'm not the sort of person to go up to a player or coach and give them a gobful. I am a respectful person and don't believe players / coaches go out to deliberately lose. We are all supposed to be Roosters supporters. I have supported this team for 36 years and I WILL celebrate their victories because I deserve to and have put in 36 years of support into the team. How I support the team and whether it is different to others should not come into it. Vent over!

Replacing Gillard with Abbott would be like replacing Anasta with Finch!

I have no issues with supporters providing Smith or any coach their opinion, but I'm not convinced that banging on the coach's boxes and verbally abusing him is the best way to get the message across. It might provide those supporters with short term satisfaction but that's about where the benefit ends.

None of us supporters are happy with how the season has turned out. And we all handle the disappointment differently. But in my experience no lasting benefit comes from abusing anyone, in any walk of life.

Every supporter has the right to be passionate, be forthright and state their opinion. No one can question that. But to do it in an abusive fashion only dilutes the message you are attempting to put across in my opinion.

But in the end, each to their own. We all have different standards we live by.

In the history of this country, never has there been a reported case of a dingo taking a baby from a campsite...till the Chamberlains went to the outback. I dare say there never will be another case...you can have all the inquests you want...ain't no dingo took that poor child.

I sat next to Lindy Chamberlain the first time she saw the film "Evil Angels" at an exclusive closed screening...she did not sniffle once...Australia owes them NOTHING.

Ted, youve been proven wrong by the inquest and thay can now sleep knowing that the correct and true findings are now known. Happened before or not has NOTHING to do with the fact that it did happene. There is a first time for everything and similar attacks have happened since.

The attack on the coaches box on the weekend was the first time that has happened. So by your theory, it really didnt right? The Wright brother also never flew a plane because it haddnt happened before right? If Cronulla get up this year and win the premiership, again, it wont have happened! Wake up Ted, these people were tragically wronged by our legal system and the judgemental torch carriers of this country.

[Guest]

On the contrary Ralph, I sit in Bay 13 and have seen many a coach from opposing teams copping a lot of abuse and funny smart arse remarks. The media box cops heaps of crap too, especially to the News journos.

I hope we never see Cronulla winning the comp in our lifetime. Unless you were there, never put your nuts in the vice for anybody.

What's the Tony Montana line?

Smith will get us a premiership and his contract shall be renewed
