I'm in a dark place - Dai

[Neils]

So a poster on the same thread on DW thinks Dai is lucky to still be in a job. I dare not respond because he winds me up too much. You wonder where these so called "fans" come from.

[Neils]

Thanks Rossm.

[Rossm]

Any time, mate.

[Neils]

He winds me up and a number of times I have asked if he actually supports Wasps but he never responds. I have to chew my fingers not to respond.

I find a nice glass of red helps when reading some of the anti Dai stuff.
The anti Costello stuff too, not sure where that comes from though.....

[Neils]

Several glasses of a very fine Rioja are getting me through the rugby this afternoon but despite a nice mellowness I can't help wondering about certain posters and their comments!

[westwaleswasp]

Good choice of red.
Some people like to vent. I get that. Some posters post straight away, and that can lead to comments that are in anger, which is never good.
I find myself less angry at the game than I do watching on tv, in terms of either anger at us, the opposition or the ref.

Whilst I agree that the sentiment there can be a bit extreme, I'd really appreciate it if we didn't start targeting specific people.

Liked your comment that he doesn't say 'us' or 'we' but 'you'. Very telling.

[Neils]

Thanks have asked before but no answer forthcoming. Weird attitude thought for a while another North London fan but don't think so.

I, and my family, will be wearing our " Dai's black and gold army" T shirts for the Sale game. Perhaps others might also like to show their support. In Dai I trust.

Rob clearly did a good job when on charge of the academy, but in pendlebury we've got one of the best. What he did for Yorkshire was massive, and what we're seeing from our u18s suggests he's having a similar effect for us.

Agreed about Pendlebury. He has built a really good team under him. One thing I missed about the U18 game yesterday was the insane number of offloads in tackles. I really thought I was watching a NZ/PI team team instead. Very few did not come off. That shows confidence within the team that support will be there, when and where you expect it.
