Sacking is rarely a point of principle. It is based in whether someone is considered disposable. That's why players are almost never sacked. Asset value is worth more than principles. God knows where the value is in your example. Confusing situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard could score the winning goal in the 95th minute and he'd sound like he'd just ran over a cat. I like the "understated way" that the Liverpool announcer has. Not for him the hysterical style of a boxing match with a false, screaming, way of giving the goal scorers name. He leaves the hysterics and drama to the crowd. He's been doing the job for so long that he's regarded as an institution and I would bet that all Liverpool fans would go bonkers if he was fired. Tim Shires has done a good job for us and doesn't deserve the sack. What he and all of us want is a PA system that can hear clearly without straining to hear any of the words. I've given up trying to hear anything broadcast over the speakers at Ashton Gate. And less music in the build up to a game so that we, the fans, can build up a real atmosphere instead of one falsely created by so called dramatic music.

I personally couldn't carry out a role he is meant to be with my wings clip as apparently his are. Perhaps if Adam is a fan of this clubs he will stand up to the BS Lisa Knight bandwagon... Let's just remember AB has a family and kids to look after like the rest of us so if you mean ' grow a backbone ' resign are u going to pay his morgatge ?

Robin1988 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Lisa Knights knows about as much about football as I do about Stormzy, and apparently he's not been named for his love of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's close season for pretty much all the sports under the umbrella, that's probably why she's not been around much lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hope not!! But.... although Ive told this story before - in memory of my late brother, I love bringing it up as it sums him up as a person..... Early in the 2008/09 season, we were playing Peterborough in the League Cup - my first season working for club. A call came through to reception saying that Mr Peter Barragh's wife had gone into labour and he needed to go home urgently. Myself and David Lloyd were on mic duty that night and we both received the message. However it was Dave L that was the one who made the announcement. "PETER BARRAGH - GO HOME URGENTLY. PETERBOUROUGH - GO HOME!" It was only after the announcement that Dave and myself realised it was a prank. The worst part was, turns out - the culprit was my brother (who sadly passed away in 2015). Im glad that Dave and the club saw the funny side! I was angry at my bro at the time for landing me in it - but looking back now, his sense of humour will live long in my memory from that night!
