And Its Smith Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I am not sure who the second journalist is but Nigel is not a fan! Seems that wherever he works marked Klose low out of 10 versus Blackpool and Pearson has NOT forgotten about it! He is then short with him when he asks why our home and away form has reversed. Bit of a cringe one but the questions Pearson has to face are dull as dishwater in the main. Questions mainly about availability of players. One question was whether Massengo will have a training session prior to Sunday. I'm amazed that journalists can't think of better questions to ask. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I gotta be honest, I cringe sometimes with how he responds to the questions The majority is probably fair as some of the questions are tedious. It’s the same dull cliche questions over and over… If somebody picks up or loses form, they always ask “Can you put your finger on what’s changed these last few weeks?” Or some shite like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's Richard Forrester, the upgrade on Gregor at the Post, judging by the Midlands accent. I thought that was funny. Big hint that Josh Owers will be in the 18 on Sunday IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige is a spikey ****** to be fair Bit like when they had the daily Covid briefings and the journalists were desperate to ask a question - just any question, regardless of the fact the answer was already in the public domain or worse, asked by the previous journalist! Apart from the standard questions any of us amateurs could ask, the ‘professional’ sports journalist really should be capable of asking something unique that has happened to the team or players that week. I’m glad Nige gives them short shrift, I wouldn’t even have the patience he has to perform in the media circus every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfitInMyPocket Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) love the way he responded to the second set of questions, couldn't stop laughing. edit - thought the comment about not digging out individuals and defending/attacking as a team was interesting too.

One question was whether Massengo will have a training session prior to Sunday. I'm amazed that journalists can't think of better questions to ask. I thought he started off really upbeat, but as @tinsaid, the second guy was Richard Forrester from Bristol Post (recently replaced Gregor). I’ve been impressed with his written stuff (not that I’m any judge). Nige appeared to have it in for him today from that point. At least Nige reads the Post, there’s always a plus! 44 minutes ago, Roger Red Hat said: Interesting comments about Jamie Patterson and players having shelf lives at clubs. CoD.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I guess it was Richard Forrester but I thought I heard Nige call him Ian. Of course if he did that could be deliberate. An old tactic to throw someone off their stride is to call them by the wrong name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there was a real character and wish we had that in the game now, but they broke the mould after him. He’d give journo’s and the football authorities a hard time, but you wouldn’t find any of his teams cheating. He had real footballing principles! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Watching Nige’s interview followed by Klose’s interview, they are chalk and cheese. The journo’s would have certainly enjoyed the latter more. Timm was open. engaging and charming to listen to, Nige, not so much. Just said on another thread how impressed all round I am with Klose.

Denbury Red Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Nige doesn’t suffer fools gladly - so surely a competent reporter would know that and prepare good open questions for him to answer - if they don’t then they deserve what they get!

And the second two got what they deserved!! That last one (the Welsh bloke from Bristol World) is absolutely ******* rubbish. Every question I have ever heard him ask is shit, he actually asked Klose today if he thought every out of contract player should be prepared to go on trial, like he did. How on earth is he meant to answer a question like that? Why does he think Klose speaks for them? Plus what would either answer he gave (has to be yes or no) even tell anyone? Nige sussed out very early on that he’s awful, so gives him even shorter shrift than the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 7 minutes ago, JonDolman said: I prefer Curtis Fleming doing the press conferences. He goes into quite a bit of detail on things. I agree. NP gives the impression that he doesn’t want to be there, and is the master of saying nothing. Often described as “telling it like it is” to me often just means stating the bleeding obvious or just telling us what everyone on here is saying anyway. Not terribly insightful.

It just seems he has a massive downer on the Post because of its player ratings and maybe some of the more speculative transfer stories. But that's local papers. They are the same everywhere. You gotta be thick-skinned and say "they are playing their game, I'm playing mine". He had similar views about the Leicester Mercury as numerous snarling press conferences can attest. Didn't like the Watford Observer either. You've just got to be a bit more professional in how you deal with people who are asking questions at press conferences. They are trying to do a job and it's your job to deal with these Q&As. And at the end of the day, local media covering football helps rather than hinders interest in the game. It's in the club's interest to have the paper's interest, even a paper as bad as the BP. And in any job if you piss people off when you are doing well, you may find they are not inclined to be charitable when you aren't. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I'm pleased to see that Nige's nose appears to have recovered after the beating he received from Nahki. Or was that just yet another scurrilous rumour ? I can't recall who posted that ridiculous story, but why do they do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
