if you mean its depressing on there? then yes

Thanks firstly to downthepub for posting that. Very gracious of you as I'm still not on the site!



Steve O Connor deserves a lot of respect. I don't agree with our choice as coach so far but when we needed someone to come along with a lot of class he stepped in and got us to where we want to be and ensured that long term we will have what it takes to run a professional outfit. Shorter term, we've all been disappointed with our performances, but that's another matter now. It has not been ideal conditions for us but you'd expect more from the players. We have certainly got people talking. Innovative kits, good sponsorship, a brand new artificial pitch. This is a man not afraid to try new things and maybe his choice of betts reflects that. As a long term fan I think this is the one area we needed to be traditional and obvious. A Brian Noble, a Karl Harrison or a John Kear.



I'm happy this was a boring humdrum announcement. When they texted us I feared the worst. Just because the general reaction was, what earth shattering news could this be? Why text us beforehand? I don't think one was needed. People honestly feared he was stepping down, or addressing the doubters. And he has in a way, but a diplomatic one in any case.



But I'm glad we've got Steve on board. I'm glad we've got this level of management and here's hoping our shared championship woes become nothing more than an awkward side note in our history.

Perfect oppurtunity for a Viking group hug





Together we are Widnes!



Believe.

I think some people on the trust site actually wanted SOC to step down, so they could go into apoplexy with anyone who may have voiced the slightest criticism of the club. Ooooh they would have been so fecking smug!



Wankers!

Should we invite littlerich in first?

That's strange,fancy Ste O'Connor being disappointed with the five defeats at the end of the season and no silverware.I was under the impression from the experts that last seasons results were of little importance.

Some were quite stubborn about not wanting him to take over in the first place as they had other ideas. They've refused to change their mind I suspect.

I'm not one for group hugs but I am just outside the circle, patting you all on the back in a patronising manner.

I think you mean

A Ben Black kind of back slapping !!
