I see both sides of the coin. I understand some having blind faith out of pride and I understand the cynical pissed off consumer that has had a gut full of this pathetic soap opera (which I think all Reds fans are). Regardless how you look at it, well all love our team and the Reds need to get their shit together because I think they have to put in the hard yards to earn we the fans trust back.
A fresh start is badly needed. I don't think it will take long when they get that initial step started.
I joined this forum in early 2010 because and the mood was doom and gloom. It is worth looking back at that 2010 season. We went down to the Tahs at the death in round one but signs of life were there. The next week we flogged the Crusaders.
We lost at Ballymore to the Blues at Ballymore but we went down in the rain swinging. The next week we came from behind to beat the Chiefs in Hamilton where Van Humphries made the "next week we role these c#nts" speech and the next week oh boy did we role the Force big time
. The momentum was there and the Reds faithful were bloody excited. We were never meant to come back from SA and beat a red hot Bulls side. Who can forget that game? That Higgers try would have to be one of my favorate Reds moments ever. Fuck, get another dose of it.
Listen to that crowd go nuts.
Injury got the better of us and we just missed the finals. We lost both locks against the Brumbies in Canberra as well as losing Kev for the year in the Saders game. It lead to Samo becoming a Red the next week.
Point is that things can change quickly when the ball gets rolling.
Get your shit together Reds because it is painful being pissed off with you.
