[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 183863"] Slight distance problem I'd imagine. It certainly wasn't 6 years of failure, it's just that I balk at the fact that people are saying he's the most successful coach we've ever had, I made the same point to someone else about the record against the top 7 sides and his response was, oh the top 7 is changing all the time, so that's a pretty pointless argument, what utter nonsense but that's the sort of thing I'm dealing with. I don't want him to be judged in comparison to other Irish coaches, he should be judged on what he did with the resources he had, which wasn't an awful lot if I'm honest. We've gone away from being the target win we were in the 90s which is fair enough, I too have had my fill of bad days at Lansdowne throughout the 90s to appreciate the good days and no doubt there were good days just not enough silverware to go alongside it which is where my ultimate dissappointment lies.
