Where do I start before my battery dies on me?
Well for one it's not just about what I've seen tonight which I can categorically say has been the worst Bradford Bulls performance since that first game back in March 1996 when we beat Castleford by 30-12 in front of over 10,000 supporters at Odsal.
The truth is and however painful it may be, is that this club is dying a slow death. Forget about Mick Potter and what the new coach will offer, the facts are that we have now had two seasons with no play-off finish.
This surely for a club the size of Bradford has to be at the bare minimum requirement with the player personal on board.
The crowds will be down again next season as people who have been following the club since the 50's, 60's and 70's turn their back on the club, meaning even less money coming into the club, to spend on players.
The players are badly underperforming, showing no effort or determination whatsoever, they don't look interested when out on the field.
We have now failed to win in nine weeks, I can't remember Northern going through such a bad patch. I'm actually ashamed to be wearing the the famous red, amber & black right now, such was the embarrassment that I've just seen.
Tonight is the night when my last ounce of confidence in Steve McNamara has gone and he should now do the right thing and just walk away and concentrate on getting England ready for the Four Nations, letting Paul Medley take over for the rest of the season, which can't come soon enough.

Harlequins RL 35-16 Bradford Bulls after 74:00 minutes.
I've seen enough and I'm off, the players need to take a long hard look at themselves after this.
-
Harlequins RL 35-12 Bradford Bulls after 65:00 minutes.
This is disgusting to watch and to think I spent four hours baking in a car to come and watch this inept, clueless display.
-
Harlequins RL 31-12 Bradford Bulls after 64:00 minutes.
Danny Orr 7/7
-
Harlequins RL 29-12 Bradford Bulls after 62:00 minutes.
Steve Menzies sent off for dissent after Harlequins knock-on and the officials wave play on.
I'm sorry but the team has just imploded, no confidence at all.
Why should I give a ###### when the players don't give ###### about the club.

Harlequins RL 27-12 Bradford Bulls after 55:00 minutes.
I've seen it all now, absolutely shocking as the players would rather chase Silverwood around the pitch then tackle the Harlequins players as Ben Jones-Bishop gets his second following a super pass from Andrew Ellis .
Danny Orr 5/5
-
Craig Kopczak is everywhere at the minute, really putting in a super human effort.
-
Harlequins RL 21-12 Bradford Bulls after 47:00 minutes.
Craig Kopczak with a super step and break before the pass to Sykes who goes under the black dot and converts his own try 2/2.
Super stuff and it came out of nothing, Kopczak Halley, Langley and Lynch haven't put a foot wrong if I'm honest.
-
Second half is underway and we start with a penalty to Harlequins for a non play the ball by the Bulls and I've not left a game early since my dad dragged me out of Burnden Park at half time back in 1992.
There is just no effort or determination from the players, and don't take that away from the Harlequins players who have put in a flawless and ruthless display. The defence has been amazing.
-
Half-time here and this really is an embarrassment, I'm actually ashamed to be wearing the the famous red, amber & black.
The players don't look interested, they look as if they there still doing a training day.
The season end can't come soon enough. I',m sorry but that's how I'm feeling at the moment.

Half-time
Harlequins RL 21-6 Bradford Bulls
One word from a Bradford point of view = AWFUL
-
Harlequins RL 20-6 Bradford Bulls after 36:00 minutes.
Danny Orr 4/4
-
Harlequins RL 18-6 Bradford Bulls after 27:00 minutes.
Halley goes close in the corner but the touch judge will say no try, fair call.
Slowly we seem to be getting back into this game after the atrocious first 12:00 minutes.
-
Twenty minutes gone, at least Hull KR are beating Leeds 12-0 (cheers Rob) which is the only good news so far as Harlequins attack the Bulls line once more and Platt will diffuse the bomb.
-
Harlequins RL 18-6 Bradford Bulls after 17:00 minutes.
Elliott Whitehead is over following a superb pass from Kearney and Sykes should convert the easy two.
-
Harlequins RL 18-0 Bradford Bulls after 13:00 minutes.
I'm speechless, I'm speechless, just what the hell is going on out there.
-
Jesus what the hell are we playing at, FFS we look fricking hopeless at best as we finally complete a set of six.
The players just don't look interested as the ball runs dead on the last and Harlequins wioll have a 20m restart.
-
Harlequins RL 12-0 Bradford Bulls after 07:00 minutes.
Andrew Ellis with a super try for the Quins under the posts, the ball went from left to right, non existant defence again from the Bulls.
This has been a disastrous as Danny Orr converts 2/2.
-
Harlequins RL 6-0 Bradford Bulls after 05:00 minutes.
Luke Dorn cuts through the non existant defence, where was Kearney?
Danny Orr 1/1
-
It's slap bang on 8pm and Harlequins get us underway here and the Bulls will have the first use of the ball.
-
We'll have the kick-off in five minutes and at a guess it must still be around 20 degrees here.
-
BRADFORD BULLS: Kearney, Sheriffe, Platt, Nero, Halley, Addy, Sykes, Lynch, L'Estrange, Kopczak, Whitehead, Langley, Menzies.
With Godwin, Hall, Crossley, Worrincy on the bench.
The Harlequins line up with some notable absentees.
I've got a strange feeling we'll break our losing duck tonight.
*fingers crossed

If anyone is reading this at the game, we're thinking of going over the railway bridge to the Cabbage Patch for a few after the game.
As soon as any team news arrives, I'll post it here.

Well good evening from a warm and barmy Twickenham.
No team news as of yet, but Stuart Reardon played in the U20's so they'll be no place for him in tonights encounter.

If the bit in bold isn't giving respect to Harlequins I don't know what is.
