Piggy eyes Monk

Haha. The mad Monk. 

Certainly was mad when he was sent to the stands after mouthing off to the 4th official. 

I loved it when he tried to sit down on the wall of the dugout and then had to be escorted to a seat by a steward. What an arse.

Anyone who can claim Leeds created the most chances in that game, is completely deluded.

The comparisons with that season and there for everyone to see. Lj has also started to do fist pumps at the Ss just like his old man.

He was doing that at CC on Saturday. I was waiting for the full "GJ punch-the-air" but he hasn't quite got that yet

He did say that but then most managers including LJ say something similar about the opposition. Seems to be the done thing these days.

May be but the op was saying we received no praise and we quite clearly did on a number of occasions. Nice to hear us being described as a good offensive side.

Any positive comments from the opposition managers are accurate! We are a decent side that tries to play the right way.

Personally I thought last night that Leeds reminded me of the old "dirty Leeds" under Don Revie of the 70s. They weren't taking any prisoners. Tammy got a whack in the eye apparently and both Flint and Pack got flattened.

On a serious note if "little Bristol City" are gonna cause visiting managers such angst that there is a risk of them incurring the wrath of match officials surely we should make more adequate provision in the event of banishment to the stands? Poor old Monk seemed to be at a complete loss last night! How can we ever compete with the big boys when we can't even get these basics right? How about reserving a specific seat for such circumstances, or maybe more adequate signage? Just another example of where we aren't quite the finished article just yet...

Based on the video interview @Big Brother has shared, I couldn't really fault Monk's comments, seemed pretty fair and balanced and largely reflective of a close game. I really wouldn't expect him to say anything else other than to be a bit more snide about the referee (given his sending off) but even on that he sounds quite regretful and realistic.

If I was nit-picking I would challenge two things. He says they created all the clear cut chances but I don't think Fielding was worked particularly hard. He also says there was a foul by Pack in the build up to the goal - I suggest he watches the video as there clearly isn't - but I actually love his reasoning which is that the ref was giving that sort of thing all night. He's right, the ref was very fussy and it wouldn't have been at all surprising if a nothing free kick was given there too.

Am I going to receive whoosh here or are you really being serious? Really?

I couldn't care less if we never get praise by other managers. If we never get a mention on any football show, pundits never talk about us and we only get a 20 second slot on that channel 5 show. We all know we have something special going here and if we keep going the way we are going then we will get plenty of acknowlement in the prem... :whistle:

Really?! 

A few years ago Arsene Wenger was sent off at Old Trafford and had to stand in a walkway because there were 0 seats available.

There were plenty of seats around last night (circa 7000). The problem would have been Monk just acting like a dick.
