Brian "it wasn't me" Ashton is at it again...

Post by fungalboy »

From today's London Times...

Llanelli’s ability to pick up the pace of the game contributed to the confusion that seemed to grip Bath shortly after they had established a 13-point lead. It left Brian Ashton, their head coach, angry and regretful that his players were unable to comprehend his vision for the game. “Mentally I thought we went walkabout in terms of how we should have been playing the game, ” Ashton said.

I don't know why a team would put up with a coach who washes his hands of them so publicly after a narrow defeat...

His line on the Irish team was "I don't know who's game plan that was out there but it sure as hell wasn't mine...". A stunning lack of professionlasim and integrity displayed in the same sentance. :evil:

I'd take EOS over this gobs**** any day...
