The Skull and Crossbones Pub & Official Banter Thread

To be honest if they go above us at the weekend it means they would have beaten MK and that's good for us so I wouldn't mind it that much

 

Its been obvious for a while that you will survive. This banter is about Warnock finishing higher than LJ. I predicted it would happen in 2 games and some of you took the biscuit when that didnt happen. Of course it wasnt going to happen when you sign someone like Odemwingie. So my prediction changed for them to overtake you in 4 games. I predicted the results for all 4 games and so far, games 1,2 & 3 have been spot on. Warnock is better than LJ and getting in LJ will haunt you. Only reason why you will survive, is not because of LJ. Cotts would have kept you up. The reason why LJ and even Cotts would have kept you up is because you have 3 shockingly poor teams who are far worse than you. Bolton, Charlton and MK Dons. Next season though.......

 

I remember when we failed to win a game and we stated that the ref was crap, a few reds claimed we were making excuses

 

Before Christmas I was a Cotterell fan but now I'm not convinced Cotterell would have kept us up, anybody who would have seen us lose to Preston in January would have serious doubts that he would do so. Since LJ has come in the performances have improved (apart from the odd blip) and has you have stated we have bought in some quality signings, something that Cotterell failed to do. Warnock and LJ are two different beasts. If we had appointed Warnock he may well have kept us up (as LJ is hopefully going to do) but his brand of football as shown last night is not enjoyable too watch. He would have been a short term solution also. LJ is starting off in his managerial career, everyone has to start somewhere, he has done nothing wrong to date in any of his jobs. I wasn't overjoyed when we appointed him but I also wasn't dead against him either but the more I see the more I like and hopefully we have a got a manager at the start of a glittering career rather than at the end like Warnock. Rotherham may well finish above us bully for them and Warnock as long as we are not in the bottom 3 then I'm going to be happy. You will never get me to admit that appointing LJ over Warnock was mistake. I do not believe that Warnock is better than LJ, It may well all go pear shape for LJ, who can tell, but that's football

 

You are spot on with the last part of your comments captain. The three teams at the bottom of that league are shocking! It's kept the likes of the s**t safe!

 

I know you wont ever admit it..... out loud

 

Warnock thinks the ref was brilliant! A weak ref would haven given you pens when clearly dives and sent off Rotherham players too. Sounds like a good ref to me!

Here is Warnocks interview after the game. Also not impressed with cold showers in the away dressing room

 

So when Warnock gets the boot at Rotherham (and he will) and if your new owner is in for a 'big name' manager would you take Warnock over Clarke?

 

He's talking rubbish, even a neutral at the game would realise how pathetic the referee was

 

If our owner is in for a big name manager, then that would mean we wont have DC anymore so its not a choice to make! Also, DC is a bigger name anyway....

Neil Warnock (11 letters)

Darrell Clarke (13 letters)

 

He didnt give you a penalty. Of course you will say the ref was crap

 

I had to laugh at Mr Johnson's 'massive' red tie....lol. thought it was a bunch of red roses down his jumper to give to Warnock at full time??

 

Nope

 

Why was he crap then?

 

Tell me, Do you think it was a penalty here? That player stayed down for 8 minutes. Didn't get on a stretcher when He came back on then carried on as if nothing had happened..

 

Cant see anything different to what normally happens in a penalty box in corners! The bloke who went down, it took a couple of goes at watching it but it does look like an elbow to the back of his head, accidental though. If it took 8 minutes, it was a head injury, maybe the physio was being cautious as was a head injury. Im sure if it was a City player down with a head injury that you might want the physio to take his time making sure he was alright?

Cant see the issue. If you want a pen for that, you must get very disappointed 4 or 5 times in every match!

 

I should have known better.. I suppose you're used to watching that crap..

 

You asked a question and I answered it honestly, no wind ups. I honestly cant see a penalty in that clip. I can see an accidental elbow on the Rotherham player who would need lengthly treatment as was a head injury! I cant see anything wrong with the ref. No need to get personal again.

 

Congratulations to Warnock for being the best manager in the Championship last month

Tommy and Loathsneyd will be delighted for you

 

Yeah happy for him, hope he wins tomorrow as well, still don't want him at my club
