Whiny Warren Gatland

If I may...
I have my own axe to grind re Gatland and the Lions, there were deserving Scottish players who didn't make it to the Lions tour, despite us beating Wales and Ireland.
That is the bye the bye, and I'll preface what I'm about to say by saying the UK media, or sections of it is the lowest gutter press imaginable, however...I couldn't help but think of Gatland's son sitting there on the benches, pulling on his shirt, getting ready to play a game of rugby with his mates and these mates have all seen the front pages and read that his father is a clown etc, that sort of stuff is unjustified. That's not rugby, in my opinion.
-
You won’t find anybody defending the rag that printed the clown cartoon here. Every country has gutter press, and that was our one.
That’s completely different from Garlands own quotes from his own book. He’s a sook, pure and simple. Sincerely hope he is nowhere near coaching the All Blacks.
-
@talisker >that sort of stuff is unjustified.
I agree.
I don't like Gatland's attitude or responses (we have had enough grumpy and bitter AB coaches) but that was totally unnecessary. -
I really do not have a horse in this race, but I wonder if there is anything Gatland is reacting to, or if he is solely the protagonist here?
Without checking back, his record with Wales will probably be better than Henry or Hansen achieved, certainly the Lions has been a success for him in terms of results.

Except for brief stints in Waikato and the Chiefs he has been working overseas for almost 20 years. Maybe NZ has become a foreign country to him?
I have always had a soft spot for the Welsh team but they've been tainted by their pathetic crybaby of a coach. The way he ranted and raved after the Dan Carter incident was disgusting. And he's only gotten worse. I hope the ABs do to the Welsh what they shouldve done to the Lions.

so while promoting a book you say you have heard some things that could be 'explosive' information but are just gonna hold onto it until someone pisses you off?

Trumpian. Secret tapes?

Wayne Smith has really been running the ABs since 2004!

Good luck on coaching in NZ again, you giant bitch.
Here's what Gatland writes in his book: "I have heard of some things about the All Blacks that could be quite explosive if they were made public, and if it does get dirty then I will raise a couple of those things. At the moment I'm just keeping my counsel."
Maybe he knows of somone who had sex in a toilet ...
... or had sex with a model while away from his wife ...

You could argue that systems put in place during Henry and Hansen's time have helped him to a better record with Wales.

Yep, and let's not forget that Henry inherited a team that had been pumped by 90 odd points in South Africa.

He bought the lame clown jibes on himself by being a embarrassment whenever there was a microphone near him. The upside to his incessant whining is the massive gaping Ahole will never coach the abs.
Henry started with Wales at a much lower point than the clown 2.0 ever did.
-
It's hard to say, because Gatland was such a great Waikato man in terms of playing, but fuck he's a dick as a coach. He never misses an opportunity nowadays to spit bile about the ABs, and every time he comes across as a complete fuckwit.
And if the only way he can get airtime about his book is claiming explosive news about the ABs, then he has a shit PR firm or it is a really lame offering.
