    I was pleasantly surprised to hear thar Rooney has turned down the job offer. Not that I'm a Rooney fan by any means but I found it quite refreshing to see some loyalty that is often missing from today's game.

    Must admit I'm warming to Rooney as a manager.

  2. Appreciate NPs honesty and forthrightness, it’s refreshing after years of hogwash and management speak. 
     

    I’ve said elsewhere though, this kind of stuff will make or break his tenure here.

    I see the long term plan - and long term - I think he’s the man.

    I wonder if events outside and inside his control will Undermine all that.

    He’s trying to build his “perfect” squad, people who buy in to his philosophy and that’s great. But, I’m not sure he has time (or money) on his side.

    Not bollocks as in incomprehensible jargon (which is the usual charge), but I guess in the sense that what he said was not reflected in how we played. 

    If I said one thing in a meeting at work and did something completely different in practice I’d be accused of talking bollocks. I can tell my board that I will make them a million pounds a day but bring in five pence. They’d say I talked bollocks  

    LJ talked a lot of bollocks. And some of it was bordering on incomprehensible. It was waffle, deflection, management speak and general all round bollocks  

    Having said that, he will get it right at a club one day and will be pretty successful IMHO.  We were right club wrong time

    FWIW I never bought into this idea that Lee J waffled and talked bollocks in his interviews. He was perfectly lucid in my view. The problems arose because what he said often did not reflect what we saw on the field. 

     

    So talking bollocks then.

    Meh. I’m obviously in the minority but they’re hardly club legends. I suppose you’re right, after Bobby produced one excellent season and Joe scored a few decent goals we should roll out the red carpet.

    Theres nothing tinpot about being hostile towards former players, unless every club  in English (and I assume World) football is tinpot. Each to their own, just can’t have people moaning about no atmosphere and then start crying because their favourite academy players got some stick after leaving.

    Quite. Neither of them legends.  Decent players but only for a short spell. Playing the part of pantomime villains on their return, surprised people are getting their knickers in a twist.

    Not trying to make excuses but Reid did join Cardiff and then do that ridiculous head tapping thing when he signed and some of Bryan’s social media was particularly negative. Although having said that a lot of people forget Bryan was in the away end in that cup game at QPR 

    I seen him in the away end at QPR for the 3-0 win in midweek game a few seasons back. You mean that one?

    Problem is not so much conceding at the last, but not having scored enough before. 

    Good point. We should be out of sight in some games but we can’t kill teams off meaning a goal, however late, leaves us with a mountain to climb.

    Year on, I stand by this. 

    And so you should. He's a mid-lower table league one player at best. It's a shame we have to keep using someone who obviously isn't up to it.

    I think that Taylor and Bailey Wright were both booked in the same incident according to timings on my scores app.
