Alberto Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 In reply to a few questions. 1st post, yes. Care about Johnson's attire, No Johnson fan, Yes. Think a manager can change a decision from the touch line, No. Happy we're on page two of the topic.. don't really care! Terry Handball at the time....... Definitely ! Up the City thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skin Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 If he didn't, there would be a thread criticising him lacking passion or nor 'caring'. To be fair to OP, I like my managers to act in a dignified way. I guess the explanation is that although that decision is gone, it's a way to sow seeds of doubt in the official's minds that may influence the next 50/50 decision so they may decide to 'even things up'. Part of the game, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers ref, that evened it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thank you Red Army Faction for actually giving the post a bit of thought and not just hurling abuse. I see LJs frustrations with killer decisions ie Terrys Handball, but watch the next game and see how his complaining reeks of desperation on what can only be described as minor 50/50 decisions. I'm fully aware the 4th O is mic'd up, but in my mind will it make a difference? I genuinally hope LJ is a success but as my opening post said, and it was all i really said. Please do it with dignity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do it with dignity. He should follow the example of successful managers like Mourinho, Guardiola, Conte, Klopp and most of all Ferguson. All so dignified on the sidelines. Or possibly not In reality the only top managers I can think of who are relatively restrained are Ancellotti and Zidane. It's a stressful job so I can understand why managers get so worked up.

In a recent interview Dean Holden said that they take it in turns to keep close to / at fourth official - mainly because if they don't , the opposition staff will and will influence fourth official Understandable and Thought this merely highlighted what a nonsense - Nothing said to a fourth official should have ANY influence on the officiating I can only presume it's because the 4th official has a open mike to the referee and thus touchline staff believe they can put pressure on the referee ???

I think that's it. The 'even things up' idea is also true I reckon. I used to like sitting in the Williams when we had Cotterill and Pembo bellowing at the 4th official. Swindon at home they were like men possessed! Wouldn't have enjoyed being the 4th official that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no other reason than to attempt to put some pressure on, if officials think they have missed something big. He was no where near as bad as Bruce who was laying into the 4th official when corners and throw ins didn't go their way, Bruce also walked right up to the linesman on the touch line and was practically shouting in his ear at one point. Which of the 3 handballs upset him most? On 26/08/2017 at 09:12, exAtyeoMax said: LJ does seem to perform for the telly. The last couple of games he's been sat in the dugout or stood motionless in his square. Last night he was gesturing like a raver at our players. Perhaps that's the thinking of the white cuffs - easily visible from distance... "Gesturing like a raven" have you just made that up? Honestly never heard that before.
