Dollymarie Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I cant believe they just uttered those two words in the same sentence. I hope he gets loads of grief when he does walk out. It has been pretty funny so far though I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 One of the City "fans" of the week on Soccer AM just said Hollowhead is a LEGEND? He's an alright geezer, however he is still a Gashead and needs abusing badly on TV! I wonder if the City fans have been told that they aren't allowed to abuse him as not even heard a boo.

redsince82 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 The bloke is a tool and should have been booed! He is no legend for us! A tool you say, well thats your opinion and you've a right to it, so I'm not going to argue with that point, however soccer am is for all footie fans and not just us reds, and to many fans (outside of bs3) the man is considered a legend. I'm sure if things were different, and he had turned out for our lot, we would love him!. The way i see it, his "ollie-isms" are funny, and they just go to prove that the gas are a special breed.

edson Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 To be fair, when we were on it and they showed the goals from the previous weekend, we booed the Bristol Rovers goal and the producer came over and told us off, as it's "not the atmosphere they want on Soccer AM".

fka dagest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Holloway (and his 'Ollie-isms') serves to confirm the rest of the country's worst suspicions that Bristolians are a bunch of confused yokels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaloneFM Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Having proved his pedigree as a manager Hollowhead has now got to scrape a living as a 'personality'. In very much the same way as Malcolm Alison or indeed me. He is very much the pantomime villain now and all he needs is a black cape and a top hat. The word legend is bandied about way too much by the dull, case in point Richard 'Countdown Legend' Whitley. I have nothing against him, more than once he has apologized about his previous behavior (mind you so have the Germans) and its time to put any real animosity to rest. But still boo the old gas rascal rather in the way one would boo Shane Ritchie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Like you said its your opinion but he isnt a legend for us and never will be! Quite right, Ian Holloway is/was no legend for us. Quite the opposite, Ian Holloway - like all Gas - is a constant thorn in our sides and - like the Gas - an embarrassment to Bristol. If Hollowhead is such a blue football legend then how come he managed to get both the Gas and Leicester relegated in his short managerial career ???!!!!! :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Holloway is an alright bloke. A very amusing character and most other fans like his quirky way of expressing himself. The fact that he's a gashead through and through takes nothing away from his popularity as a football celeb. Its only one-eyed and cognitively impaired City fans that slag him off because of his sag background. I can't say I like him as a manager but I respect the way he stays close to his roots.

CiderArmyBCFC Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I can't see how people find 'hollowhead' even funny he's just thick as s##t! And to call him a legend is just plain laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I wonder if the City fans have been told that they aren't allowed to abuse him as not even heard a boo. I would guess the City fans were vetted quite carefully by City in the first place, there is a certain type that wouldnt have been allowed anywhere near soccer am. I abused Holloway in a night club once, he just looked at me as though I were a ####, which many years of hindsight later, I was. He's alright. He's passionate about his club, nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to plymouth, only to leave for Leicester the day after he pledges to the janner faithful and board he's there for the long term. like I said great manager. NOT Being young you probably don't remember some of the vitriol directed at BCFC from Holloway, the man hates us with a passion. Personally I don't hate him, I like the fact that he is proud of his roots, but I don't find him funny and I certainly wouldn't want him near our club, what next pulis to return!

tropicalsurfer Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 He was on question of sport last night. During a quick fire round he just sat there looking so confused while Matt Dawson answered every single question. It was funny? Maybe times are hard in the holloway bank account if he keeps appearing on tv, hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Taylor is GOD Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 One of the City "fans" of the week on Soccer AM just said Hollowhead is a LEGEND? I remember how bitter and twisted he was about us - HE HATES US! Just because he has toned it down in recent years and even complements us sometimes doesnt change anything. The man is a joke and certainly NOT a legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 To be fair, when we were on it and they showed the goals from the previous weekend, we booed the Bristol Rovers goal and the producer came over and told us off, as it's "not the atmosphere they want on Soccer AM". I seem to remember we were told off for booing a Jason Roberts goal to which Helen retored on air "You can't boo Jase!" In the break that moody floor manager came and had words!! Our Soccerette was much nice then the one today also!!!!! Only managed to catch 5 mins of it as I've been so busy this morning sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon uk Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 holloway is quite funny, and has a lot of passion for what he believes in, and as he has gotten older, like everyone, he has learned from his life experiences. My view of him changed when he played in the steve phillips testemonial a few years ago at clevedon, he knew he was going to get some grief, so mooned the fans as they stood at the start of the match and had a good laugh with the crowd during the game so i figured he was alright, and not much different than the rest of us. Still, me and the missus are expecting our first baby, and she wants to call it ollie if it is a boy and she cant understand why I am so against it.
