How many times has Mark Robins applied for the Bristol City job in recent years and failed, does he suffer any resentment.. Mark Robins makes his comments.... * "We've lost two goalkeepers in this game to the same injury - broken arms under a challenge from one of their players," * "I'm disappointed for the players because they were the better team on the day." * "And I'm disappointed with the decisions of the referee - or the non-decisions of the referee." * Their manager has said he thinks they have got the best players in the division, well ours can hold their heads up really high then today because we've outplayed them. * "I'm proud of my players because everyone of them to a man has been absolutely magnificent." Steve Cotterill makes his comments.... * "We didn't play very well in the first half. Not enough forward running, therefore there wasn't enough forward passes, which meant we weren't the attacking threat * "The first half we were almost like a counter-attacking team, we started the game alright, the first five or 10 minutes, and then dropped off." * "Sometimes, it's the character that you need to show in games like this, when it isn't going right for you, where you're a long way from home and you need to dig deep, * "If we'd carried on like we played in the first half, I think we'd have got beat today." These are just bullet points taken from the article but if our player had decided to break 2 players arms he would have been arrested and god knows what. The article demonstrates a man with character and a man full of excuses, you make your own judgements between the two.. Thank god we've got a class act like Cotts. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30757600
Really? Cotts has said pretty much the same things in games we have lost this season, apart from the two broken arms off course
I've seen the incidents which ended in 2 broken arms. Absolutely no way were they anything other than honest attempts for the ball. The first, I'm not even sure who hit their keeper 8ft in the air. The second, Smith definitely got the ball first. Cotterill would have gone mental if he hadn't tried to 'get there'. What Robins is on about I'll never know, he's a very bitter man and a very bad loser. Have another look Mark. We await an apology for your stupid remarks. And for the bad tempered clown who deliberately kicked the ball in Williams face after our 2nd goal.
