How is his coaching? Long way behind Allan Joyce. All judgments based on a single variable are facile and so is this. Ross Lyon is widely regarded as one of the great coaches of the modern era. There are many reasons for this. Here are a few: 1. The "forward press" - the tactic he invente...

.hey crippa , .on page six , you included a link to a bf thread , leading to a convo between u and k whilst chattn with dave mac .is that link still valid ? .it shoots off to a 'media thread'. Gazrat P.L., the Ross Lyon posts on BF were taken off the Media Thread and given their own thread here htt...

Plenty of 15-20 min audios up on SEN

Haha. Brunettes are much sexier.

Nice wind up. I understand we can't all expect to be the subject of a bidding war such as that which erupted to secure Ross Lyon's services as Senior Coach. But the scramble to employ Rodney Eade as Senior Coach was tragic viewing. His wife, driven to despair by the universal lack of interest, launc...

When he started telling the footy world how premierships are won? :wink: Funny I am sure you have previously said that. Cant be bothered proving it but I know that you know you have said it on this board previously. He has left now though so he obviously isnt. ? I didn't say it, he did. "Premi...

. Not sure what you're on about Shaggy. I was comparing the membership tally in 2012 with the tally in 2011 - when we were not only on the slide, but conditions were much, much worse (save for the fact that Ross Lyon was still our coach). If you think the club are doing a great job in this area, by ...

Whiskers darling, You are a feisty and a worthy opponent and I urge you to amend your misdescription of yourself on the Ad Hominem thread at once. You are altogether too modest. The "Bloomsbury Set" lads were mostly Cambridge men. This means they were necessarily depraved (as students from...

no secret that for the success starved clubs like ourselves, members jump on when the premiership is a possibility... we win 5 of our first 6 games we'll be pushing 35k easily. Your argument is unconvincing, skeptic, and is inconsistent with the evidence. Last year our membership shot up from 21,00...

Dear Supersaint, I apologize unreservedly for causing you offence. It was not my intention at all. While I disagree with the specific points you raise about Harvey, I am what posters on this thread would call a "worshiper" of Allan Jeans. Jeans himself, of course, was a great admirer of R...

Look, I'm getting just a tad sick of this, Magic. If you really believe I can enlighten you in some way, then I refer you to my posts on the "Ross Lyon On the Coach" thread.
If not, then why not just let it go? Believe what you want to believe. We all do. Honestly, I don't mind.

No it was those and I know a few. wheo did not like the style, or felt the whole team and staff were responsible for behaviours. whch is just ludiccrous But they are joining this year. Great to hear. But tell them to get a move on cos it's not lookin good. and given your not liking much about theSa...

Great to see you back saintspremiers, old chum.

Love your posts - but sorry, whiskers is still my fave. xxx

I did a poll on here a few months ago, when Lyon was still at the helm regarding the style of play and if that impacted the purchase of a membership. Was surprised to see how many were put off by 'saints footy' The results of a poll of Saintsationalists is hardly a reliable indicator of the views o...
