Sorry, this should have been the repy to Ender Not all Ender....!! You don't need a year only about 90 minutes to see SOD is far more clued up than McUseless. Well some of us can And it's true, all this rubbish about it was all down to the players and we need this and we need that.........SOD just gets on with it.
Yes, you really are fantastic... Oh hang on. if it was down to you we would still have Gary Johnson and his midfield berth stealing son. No, I will still consider you clueless if you don't mind.
If the above was aimed at me; Sorry, I can't remember being in the bottom 3 for 5 months under Gary Johnson and his midfield berth stealing son as you call it unlike under the leadership of McUseless. Thank god the board saw sense like SOME of us did, be it a bit late and appointed in a decent manager.
Sadly I think that's the way it would of went with GJ Great manger for us but it was the right time for him to leave, Yes its true we haven't been half the team since he left but we might of been worse off with him still here
"Thank god the board saw sense like SOME of us did, be it a bit late and appointed in a decent manager" Yeah thats true enough, shame it was Steve Coppell and not another decent manager though!!
Yeah. like we weren't going down with Johnson! Even your new best mate, Redprintt will pull you on that! You crack on with your rose tinted spectacles, cos anyone who knows anything about football at all knows We were! Thats why the board acted when they did, they had no choice! Same with mckinnes, both managers time was up, its sad when any manager gets sacked for us because it ultimately means we have failed as a team. You're crowing over Mckinnes departure sums it up for me, you cant wait to get every reference in to every post at your joy of another failed manager for us, because you said it would be so! You were a very lone voice at the time and a very silent one too! you spent weeks at a time missing from here when results were going well for us refusing to give the man any credit when things went well. Well done! You were eventually right.. every dogs arse shines in the sun one day a year.. I will carry on supporting every manager Bristol city appoint until the situation becomes untenable. SOD wasn't my first choice but I wont disappear and throw my toys out of the pram because he wasn't, I will support my team till I can no more.. I hope he keeps us up.. unlike some I fear the players will ultimately not be good enough, many of us have said the same for years.. time will tell..
You seem to be way out of touch Banksy and I imagine the problem you have with me is either you miss things or just pick out bits to suit. First of all, Redprintt isn't new to me, we have had our disagreements and our agreements from way back in the GJ days on the original 606.....But sadly he is only one of a few on here that talks any sense when it comes to football and even if I disagree with some, I respect his views. I can't be assed going through all the GJ stuff yet again cus I have aired my views many times.. I keep telling you, but you don't listen, I praised McUseless when we went through the good spell last season (held my hands up) and at the beginning of this, but I did say I would give him the pre-season and the first 12 games of the new season before I aired my views...And I stuck to my word. I didn't ever want Millen from day one and I had my doubts regarding Coppell, likewise with Del. Again, I can't be assed to go through my reasons again as they have been well published time and time again. Like you, I want what's best for my club and I do back my club, but I also want my club to progress. If I feel the wrong decision or appointment is made and think it's a backward step, I won't just sit there and go along with it. Again like you, SOD was not my first choice, but after, just a few games, most people can see, he is at last a decent manager for this club.....even if we do go down. He's a decent manager, square pegs in square holes, seems to get the best from players that he has at his disposal and has the eye for attractive football, something this club has been lacking for years....... Like I've said many times before, I don't want us relegated, but if we do, I can see that we will go down fighting and that will be down to SOD. I can't ask for more than that.
"Redprintt isn't new to me, we have had our disagreements and our agreements from way back in the GJ days on the original 606" Yeah, thats why I said it... The Mc'useless crap on every post (whatever it may be about!) just comes across as being very bitter, as if everyone should have listened to you " I was right all along" its boring now, we get your point.. BTW, redprintt very often does talk sense about football he said Johnson playing Johnson was nothing more than nepotism and I agree with him.. He also says Liam Kelly is more Scottish rubbish .. I don't agree with him! Get over it...
But at the end of the day, I think most NOW agree; Millen was useless, McInnes was useless and now we have a guy that's worthy of the Managers job in SOD. Of course that can all change, but we can all see what he's trying to do which in my book is a breath of fresh air.....Long may it continue!
happy days you two,we have a good manager and coach at our club,i hope he stays around for a long time to come. we have a top manager at last
Hey Rod i would be a rich man if i could have baby's This is the best manager we have had for a very very long time. Our club,board do not have the best record in appointing good managers over the years. I am just so bloody relieved we have someone on the board that saw the light of day. I can honestly say if SOD had been appointed instead of Del boy we would be well clear of the bottom. If we do go down which is very likely,the lost revinue and gate receipts need to be laid at the feet of our chairman.
'He also says Liam Kelly is more Scottish rubbish' Banksy - I've said quite a few times that 'the jury is still out for me'. Not quite the same, but it's not the first time you've been less than accurate with quotes of mine.
Hi Redprintt (new best mate)!! Don't worry mate, he does it all the time with me, just lifts things out, making them out of context just to suit his argument!!
My apologies Redprintt, my memory attributed the attached quote to you! To be honest I couldn't be bothered to check... (your quote is the line below) Onefor, everyone on here knows you think you are some kind of football expert, (you put yourself up for the last managers job without any hint of irony if I remember rightly!) You had absolutely no idea whether Mckinnes would work out or not but because he wasn't your choice decided he would fail from the word go! You got lucky but the majority on here aren't fooled.. I've always at least tried to give the manager at least some initial support myself.. Isn't that what supporters do? (p.s. Kelly is another of Del's crap signings....)' I do think that's harsh, time will tell.
See you're doing it again, show me where I put myself forward for the managers job without any hint of Irony.... I think you will find, someone else said that and I laughed and went along with it........but hey, you carry on picking out bits if it makes you happy. No I didn't want Millan or Del, they BOTH I believed not to be the way forward for the club.....we were looking to progress after all the good work GJ had done by getting us to the championship. So IMO they were both a step backwards......................................DO YOU NOT AGREE? You say that the majority arn't fooled, but the majority wanted someone that had no experience what so ever in the championship, that so happened to have a little success in a very poor Scotish league and it showed. IMO that's not progress and a massive mistake made by the board and if we go down it's all down to them. On the plus side, they tried to put things right with the appointment of SOD, Fingers crossed, he could lead us out of the ****.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.. At the time Mckinnes was regarded as an up and coming young manager with premiership playing experience doing wonders with a limited budget Scottish side, All the talk coming out of Scotland from the St Johnstone fans was very positive and appeared honest in that they thought he was definitely on the up. SOD was being regarded as somewhat on the way down having relegated a decent Doncaster side and his star appeared to be waning at the time.. The board (and fans) made their decision on the available information at the time. I understand why the decision went that way and agreed with it at the time. There was a choice of 3 to pick from and IMO that was the choice I would also have made (the same as the vast majority of fans at that time!) I didn't really want Millen and that was a mistake but I suppose he earned the right to the job after keeping us up! Wizered was an almost lone voice in his battle to persuade everyone that Millen was not up to the job and took some abuse on the way from some, He was ultimately right! I have never heard him crowing on about it once on here.. Gary johnson went from hero to zero to me. but thats old ground thats been covered again and again...
