Calculus Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Not sure Nige will take that well - that's just taking the p155. Will be very surprised if he's welcome at the Gate after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, he’s had run-ins with journalists before and probably sees GmG as an amateur, hence his patronising attitude toward him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted August 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have heard Gregor was in the pocket of Johnson and Ashton. They would feed him scraps of information for positive stories. He’s not even getting the crumbs from the bottom of Pearson’s toaster. Hence the constant snide remarks. Allegedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 O'Leary - 7 - not at fault for anything and dealt with most things well Simpson - 5 - offered little going forward and distribution average Pring - 7 - composure, got forward, good display Kalas - 6 - was bullied by Matt in the first half but grew into the game Moore - 6 - see above Nagy - 6 - ran around a lot but did nothing on the ball Williams - 4 - poor in possession with many misplaced passes Massengo - 6 - very quick with the press over 5 yards. Offered something with the ball at least but pretty limited Bell - 5 - tried his best but nothing came off for him Janneh - 8 - very raw but effective tonight. Often had 2 men on him Wells - 5 - felt for him a bit as chasing long balls isnt his game. Bakinson - 7- finally a bit of composure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they do well enough against Jamille Matt, who caused a lot of problems at times? I thought Tomas [Kalas] was good tonight, he did very well. And Taylor Moore as well we guess? No, I said that I thought Tomas did well tonight." Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m starting to form one opinion of this reporter / manager, it’s don’t try and evaluate City’s players and then ask whether Nige thinks the same as you…,just ask him how he thought they played. It’s just asking Nige to put Gregor down, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just asking Nige to put Gregor down, Moore was very poor first five mins and shaky after that until half time. Was better second half. Kalas was good at dealing with Matt but thought he didn’t look massively interested and distribution was poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to hear Nige’s response to another journo from Radio Bristol or Points West because I’ve heard them ask questions in exactly the same manner.

REDOXO Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 There is something going n there. This the third thread pointing that out. It’s a bit painful for the supporters, particularly when a journalist asks if there is anything going on with transfers and the manager says I wouldn’t tell you if there was, so it’s a pointless question….. FFS. I get it. NP is pissed off with his players, but that just smacks of F you MF! So now the journo retaliates by rating the manager and giving him 5. BP could either get really interesting or really boring in the next few weeks, but giving a journo carte blanche to write what he likes might make life for both of them interesting.

He asked a follow up question and got an answer that tells us something: Pearson definitely wasn't happy with Moore's game. That, in essence, is what you want a reporter to do. Find things out. If you want to just let Pearson blather on, then you may as well just read out a press release from him. There will be things he doesn't want to say. Things he'll try to hide, and other things that will be unclear or open to interpretation. I don't find much wrong with McGregor's reporting style.

Im_over_ere Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Is the manager/coach obligated to do the interviews or can he send out the assistant(s), Keith D for example? If he really does not like doing the post match interview then why not let someone else do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m starting to find it an intriguing little sideshow. NP has seldom realised that you need to speak to the supporters through the reporter. It’s actually pretty easy if you know what you are doing and can control yourself. He plays the man, though, not the ball. Doesn’t seem able to help himself.

It's been done to death on other threads so I'll be brief. I don't buy that. Pearson is loquacious almost to the point of being verbose with other journalists, including the in house guys like Barton and even Downsy. He's also spoken in the past about his support for local third-party football journalism. From what I see, read, and hear - there's a specific issue between GM and NP .
