What you getting yourself all giddy about ? Don't remember Barra fans creaming themselves when GED was binned.

It was a bit strange give you that barramarra ,Nigel Wright has taken the job so no massive upset for the players.

des has probably picked the team for sunday anyhow

[billwiff]

Hope so his record is good grand final winners and finished 4 th last season knows his rugby does Sir Des.

[puppetmaster]

its becoming like a pantomime down the road, which is a shame for the barra faithful.

is the barra job becoming like the england managers job used to be? the poisoned chalice.

who in all honesty would want the job, knowing they have to work under des and his "input"?

or is there somebody out there up for a massive challenge in trying to please mr johnson?

gonna make for interesting news coming for craven park

[mr hopefull]

the assistant coach nigel wright will be taking over as of now, was on radio cumbria tonight

[whitehavenRLforever]

Surely Schofield will be entitled to a pay off. Any prospective coaches will be very wary of Des johnson. He comes over as a bit of a dictator. End of the day its the coaches role to pick and run the side not the chairmans.

[cbandg01]

Not having a go, but got to say it's an ongoing farce.

Loads of money spent, big name signings, chairman acting as the puppet master, coach after coach passing through and the team not performing.

Barrow supporters on here can say what they want, but it's rugby league earthquake ongoing.

Be honest south Cumbrians, the clubs in trouble, and about to implode. No satisfaction in that observation, just can't believe he's been so daft to bring it on himself..... by being so 'knowledgeable' about RL.

[Barramarra]

It is a farce to be honest.
From what I hear the senior players didn't think much of Schifield & IF it was the case then perhaps DES had no choice ?

[chocbluegold]

Hope so his record is good grand final winners and finished 4 th last season knows his rugby does Sir Des.

or does he spends loads of cash getting players and coaches,he goes through coaches like a kid with a bag of sweets.all the unsettlement through the camp fans restless and des struggling with the finances can only be heading in one direction  des walking away!!when are you going to admit your short lived fame is over.super league must be quivering at the thought of barra possibly being with them

[cbandg01]

Still not having a go, but the strange thing is Des was all over the press two weeks ago telling everyone who would listen that he had had all of the squad in and told them the holiday' was over, and that if they didn't 'start performing and earning the good wages they were getting', then people might well expect to see a new team recruited.

Then he sacks the coach !!!!

It's got to blind panic OR player power I'm afraid. ......OR both.

Said today on radio that things were not working out, it was a gamble taking on Garry, with him being out of the game for so long, and that it was better to act (sic sack) than let things go too far.

My opinion, the man's lost, (or certainly loosing) his marbles.

We can only wait and see what the next 2-3 games produce, but if things don't improve look out for BIG changes, and a dummy flying out of the pram, (again).

Got to say I don't like some of the snide remarks re our south Cumbrian friends.
We have a decent relationship with Barrow through the years with many players going either side of "The Big One"---that damn road
I know it's a forum we are on but a little bit of respect--on both sides--wouldn't go amiss methinks!
Re Des, I'm afraid it's a price you pay when one director appears to hold all the cards with Carlisle Utd and their owners( can't recall their names but one saw spaceships and aliens and once said "There' no need for a manager--I'll do it myself" the other one was an Irishman who's colourful language had TV interviewers walking on hot coals if it was live transmission)--sound familiar?
El Tel.

nobody allowed a opinion now then ?
