I wonder what JK is saying into his Walkie Talkie there.
"I know...I can't believe they gave me a new contract either"

Blame conor. He told us not to tackle. He told us never to compete in the lineout. He signed Lewis

Give up. Conor started to bury us, Kingston has finished the job.
Lewis should never wear the shirt again
And for the record - since I�m really bored of your posts - I never said a) Kingston was good or b) Quins were good.
O�Shea isn�t blameless for where we are now.
Kingston is to blame for how much worse we�ve got.
Maybe you can now post something without the endless oh so funny, I�m so good at sarcasm stuff - or maybe not.
Calm down dear. I wasn't addressing you at all. Im sorry you find my posts dull. I'm not that interested in you constantly bragging about how close you live to the stoop but there we go. Cheerio

Clearly the board are happy with mid-table mediocrity ...
Quote:blucherquin
Today an absolute breaking point for me
Been giving Kingston time and thought we needed better squad - but today it was all wrong
Not only coaches but players should be utterly ashamed
They had no passion, commitment or clue and i hope they saw the empty stands at the end and felt ashamed - but I doubt it.

From BBC: Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston:
"We've let our supporters and our families down as there was a half-empty stadium with 20 minutes to go and I let the players know my feelings in the changing rooms.
"We should have gone into half-time well ahead but we blew at least three good chances.
"We were level with 30 minutes to go and well set against 14 men but we switched off for a five-minute period and they were pretty lethal."

So that's all right then. Just another day at the office.
I look forward to it being "JK's squad" and JK's coaches" so that he has no more excuses left.

I want Kingston out and loathe our players for their lack of passion today - but honestly where does he say it’s all right?

I didn't say he said it was alright — but he grossly understated the manifold problems, didn't he? It was a whole lot more than that quote suggests ...

It's odd that nobody has mentioned mr Barnes at all so far. With all the howling coming from the stands and the blank looks from the people around me after numerous descisions I would have thought he would be slated on here. What was wrong with Vissers first try? I'm sure after watching a replay of the game it will be revealed that he was spot on with all the calls.
Quote:Quinten Poulsen
Lewis looks pretty decent when he has a good platform, and his play speeds up to suit us. He's not great at exerting any control on the game like Care is though.

Visser dropped it short of the line.
Didn’t really get a call wrong that I could see.

Fantastic analysis, absolutely spot on QP. Lewis is amazingly good

I've already had a word with myself, and actually came quite close to punching myself in the face for penance.
Quote:His calls are usually correct. But he does get fixated on a particular teams front row, pack , ruck involvement etc which leads to inconsistency. He does tend to offer excuses for his favoured side/ pack/ when questioned.blucherquinQuote:Mayor West

Any attempt to place any of the blame on Barnes is laughable to be honest.

Whilst I can understand the anger regarding your team and coaches it might be worth acknowledging that wasps played a great game considering they only had 14 for the majority of the match

Wasps fan in peace. Firstly let me say I was at the Stoop with my son. No way did I see the Quins lads having no passion. I saw myself the pain on their bodies and faces. To say you "loath" them is way bad- they tried and they don't deserve that. . You get good days and bad days and you caught us on a red letter day. We've had bad ones before - against you guys at the Ricoh 17 September last year. I was there and it hurt. It's easy to over-react and I suspect a few here are. I have too after a debacle like this, usually after a few beers.To be honest I felt sorry for your players when whole swathes of your fans left en masse well before the whistle went. One thing we've learnt at Wasps, and I've supported them through the bad times before we went to the Ricoh, is stick together when s''t happens. Ripping players and coaching staff apart gets it off your chest but achieves nothing. Nor does football style mass spectator desertion when things go Pete Tong. Stick together and you'll come good
Quote:Raggs
Wasps went from champions to just avoiding relegation in 4 years. I only joined that story at the bottom but i suspect older members know precisely what you're going through.

Ditto. Even during the horrorshow that was the Edinburgh game last year most people stayed in their seats.

As you have found out, it's always dangerous to go on to another club's forum and misread the level of feeling.

Wasn't the mass exodus because the Scotland game was starting? A couple of the fans leaving early told me that was why they were going.

Au Contraire Blackadder. I haven't - I know you hurt god knows I don't know it. And sorry seems a lots of Wasps here invading your pain. It's also not dangerous. Lets get this in context. Syria is dangerous and people are dying. This was a rugby match when one team played better than the other team, when the same team played better than the other 5 months ago. I'm just trying to get things in perspective and think when your forum posters start saying they "loathe" your players someone, you lot, need to pull them up.
And stay in the seats - or your brave players know you come to watch the good times only - boy did your boys hurt (witness Jamie Roberts humble speech after the match) and left to hurt alone
