Our failure, at the leadership level of the club, to stand up for ourselves and to actually make any kind of attempt to define who we are has led us to this day.
Be in no doubt. 50 years from now, today will be thrown in our faces.
It should never have come to this. We should have been agressive in defending our roots and our heritage. We should have had a proactive engagement strategy, rather than crucifying ourselves on the cross of dignified silence.
And, controversially I know, we should never have started a fight with the national broadcaster without a clear strategy on how to win that fight.
We have shown ourselves to be inept in so many ways. Fighting years of professionalism by our opponents with pointless statements. Being embarrassed by our Ulster fans to the point that the club never ever recognises the effort made by so many from across the water to attend games. And to employ an absolute relic like Traynor to defend our reputation.
We all have examples. We all know the issues.
Dave king has to act. This is a crossroads. Get rid of Robertson, Dickson and all the others who have led us to this. Change stance. Defend who we are.
