Ludicrous Quotes by Neville Southall

who the feck does this fat oaf think he is to lecture us about how we should be thinking.......

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19910528

where does he get this **** from...... we all know we have quality players, thats the source of frustration, the fact that we know we are performing well below the standards and levels set by the previous management...... we easily have enough quality to be beating the likes of serbia and scotland but the performances have been terrible.

the results, (and more worryingly the performances) have been poor, coleman has had the luxury of a long time without competitive fixtures (9 months) to work with the players, its not as if he's been chucked in at the deep end....... and as for needing to back him whatever happens, does this dullard understand that in football you are accountable to the fans and boss? if there is no sign of improvement after 10 games we should back him whatever happens......

with an attitude like that to the fans who have every right to question whats going on after watching the dross served up so far, i expect coleman to sign him up as goalkeeping coach and add another incompetant oaf to the backroom staff........

 

We should back him, just like we should back anyone who does the job. We set ourselves a standard which we need to get back to, but what message does it give to the players when no one backs the team or the manager? They're probably more qualified than us to judge Coleman.

Whether we win, lose, humiliated or disgraced... We should support the team!

 

Yes, how dare we criticise the highly paid folks who are paid to get results even when they fail so abysmally.

 

or you could look at the bigger picture here goal keeper **** all defence **** all midfield average compared to other other sides id go with there crap just me tho ,centre forwards stab in the dark who ??

 

TBH I don't find his comments ludicrous, nothing wrong with giving what you've got the best chance of success by backing them.

 

Point made better than I tried

 

well, firstly, southall claims that even welsh fans dont acknowledge the quality players we have. thats ludicrous, and the fans know we have several quality players.

secondly he says that 'whatever happens' in this campaign he should keep his job. well thats ludicrous too, now i'm not an advocate of a hire and fire policy but if you can see no visible improvements after one year then things need to be assessed, not bury your head in this sand and pretend everythings hunky dory when it clearly isnt.....

and finally, one of the reasons i'm so pissed off is that i can accept things not going for us on the day, or simply coming across a better team on the day, like we did vs belgium. but anyone who watched the serbia game would see that the players gave up and stopped closing down and chasing back, and i for one will not accept that.

 

True Swamp. If Collins had not been sent off, the Belgian game would have been a lot closer. They looked good but we were threatening on the break via Bale. But once they had the extra man all we could do was battle, which in fairness we did.

However, Serbia,

While the players have to take their share of the blame for giving in, Coleman should have been all over them like a rash. It looks to me like he is not great at motivation. Well if the the prospect of keeping or losing his job does not motivate him to motivate the team then he should be looking up the number of his Job Centre or whatever they call it nowadays.

 

Sack him like a dog....That is all.

 

I'll tell you what's ludicrous Swamp and that's someone who's only been around a strawberry season criticising one of our best ever goalkeepers, let's see what your figure is like at his age and I agree with a lot of his comments, I think he's got it spot on as regards the supporters, to many want success immediately or **** it and that's Sky's and the internets fault

 

he's paid to get results and develop a team and get performances, almost 1 year on and he arguably hasnt done any of that..... and yet here he is saying that even if we lose the next however many games left in this group he should keep his job until its over, what tripe.

the fans can make up their own conclusions and opinions without being told what they should and shouldnt be thinking.

 

Neville Southall has earned the right to give his opinions on the state of Welsh football. Arguably our best ever keeper and longest serving. He didn't make a career of crying off from international squads with pathetic excuses like some of our so called past 'greats'.
A lot of people may not agree with his opinions but he is entitled to make them without some of the recent insults aimed at him.

 

ofcourse big nev can give his opinion>>>>the guy is a fking legend>>>>>>not one but two gordan banks esc saves that won the game for us against germany>>>>ofcourse ian rush scored the only goal but southall>>>>>best goalkeeper of his era

 

lets be honest here guys support for your fellow countrymen shouldnt be relying on results........we need 2 back em not roast em.............come on lads your country needs YOU.

 

Indeed Southall was a fantastic keeper in his day, probably the worlds best at one point.
I don't think we should blindly accept poor performances or accept 2nd rate management. With regards to getting behind the team, every fan who tips up at the game is behind the team, after all they have parted with their hard earned cash to support the team in red. Us that can't make the game will cheer on the side from our local pubs or armchair. Play with passion and never give up and the support will remain, capitulate as they did against Serbia, then those that are there have every right to vent their anger and frustration.

 

****ing 'A' right Aber, I think some of our so called supporters ought to do an apprenticeship before opening their mouth and criticising people who've forgotten more about the game than they'll ever know.

 

Perfectly summed up Taff. I'm not criticising Nev as he is entitled to his opinion and knows a darn site more about football than most of us.

But as paying fans we have a right to have a go at the players and management if they don't perform. We have discussed on here previously the booing of under performing players. I don't condone that other than in exceptional circumstances but we are as free to voice our opinions on here as Nev is through the media.

I would love us to win tonight and I will hold my hand up and say I called it wrong but I just can't see that happening, sorry. I will willingly dine on humble pie if we win.

 

agree with you there taff...........

so sussex that makes my opinion void just because i think he's talking utter garbage, despite attending or watching 95% of games in the past 5 or so years, i should just accept what i'm being told without being able to think for myself....... the reality of it is that we've gone so far backwards in the past year its unreal, and yet here we are being told by southall that despite this coleman should keep his job, like i said, coleman should add him to his band of mediocrity of hartson and symons with an outlook like that.

 

taff no offence but even though money has changed hands we aint talking about a gone off tesco ready roasted chicken here.........this is our country>>>>

ps ive never ever seen a welsh team go out 2 lose a game so whatever is wrong with results at the moment im sure it aint for the want of trying>>>>>>>>>>one of the main things im sure effects them deep down is the lack of support shown by the welsh public,could you imagine walking out into that kind of stadia....half full/half empty............some of the best results for wales has been when the public has shown up and pushed them on for the win.....,.we the nation should be fking ashamed of ourselves that some cant get off theyre arses for the football team but welsh rugby fans back the rugby squad year in year out whatever the results or how strong the team looks and its chances of winning things.



come on lads chins up its only a game!!
thats me done>>>>im gonna get owf

 

FFS swamp, of course you're entitled to your opinion but it's just that, 'your opinion' just as Nev has his, I happen to agree with him and not you, Coleman has the job and he should be at least allowed to finish the campaign.
