coxyboy Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 First time in a long time the skipper lead by example today. Put his head and body on the line today, motivated his team put a real shift in today. The first to say he has not done that this season but did today. Well done captain.

fka dagest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 yeah, I thought he had a good game - certainly looked like he cared. However, there's a small question mark over Newcastle's second for me - Carey seem to lose his man didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Red Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Galley is our king, I couldn't agree with you more. There has been some absolutely ridiculous talk on the forum of how Carey was "immense", "superb", he "motivated the team and "led by example" well excuse me but where o where has our "captain" been for the last 37 games? This season on the pitch has he been encouraging? Vocally positive? Leading by example? Motivating and guiding others around him. No our "captain" has been none and done none of these things. But hold on a minute, all of a sudden, we're managerless (no direspect Mr Millen) we're on Sky Sports and we are up against the team loitering at the top of the league awaiting an instant return to the Premier League. So our "captain" finally decides to turn up. Where was our "captain" on a cold and rainy night away against second bottom Plymouth Argyle? When we were busy conceding 3 goals. And before any of the usual suspects go off on one, grab your programme from today's game. (you did buy one didn't you guys?) and read the Louis Carey interview. And I mean actually read it. (ignoring the stupidly ridiculous pictures) Quote: The Interview "I made a decision about 18 months ago To change my diet and lifestyle to try and prolong my playing career. I try and look after myself on and off the pitch" So? For the 2 years before that "decision" you were our "captain" and leader and you weren't trying to prolong your career by having a suitable diet and lifestyle? What are you saying to us "captain" What are you saying to every single Bristol City fan who has ever parted with their hard earned cash to watch you lead us and also pay for your lifestyle? Quote: "I don't go out so much, don't drink so much and eat the right things" Thankyou for clearing that up for me "captain" I've lost all respect that I had for Carey. The reason I don't go out much, is because I can't afford to. The reason I cannot go on holiday this year, is because I can't afford to. Because I have, yet again renewed my season ticket. To pay for our captains now carefully carefully lifestyle. Next......... Quote: Captains corner "whenever a manager leaves you do feel a little responsible" Our "captain" feels a little bit responsible for Johnsons departure?! Darn bloody right our "captain" should be feeling a litle bit responsible. Our "captain" has not being playing or acting like a captain. Still think "he leads by example!" Still think "he was immense" Still think "he motivates" Still think "he held the squad together" I for one don't and as a season ticket holder I feel that as we are paying professional footballers we should be entitled to have a professional footballer as our captain. And I mean someone who really leads by example, someone who does really encourage others and not just bitching at mistakes. Someone who actually is not just playing for us by default because he couldn't cut it at the dizzy heights of Coventry. Oh sorry, I mean couldn't settle. Still sound like the captain of a professional football club whose ambition is to make it to the Premier League? Me neither! Shape up consistently and be the captain you used to be Louis. Nothing would make me happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numbeast Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I must say I was impressed by both Louis and Hartley today but it does beg the question why were they not throwing their bodies infront of everything in previous games? I know people will say they wouldn't play for GJ but they didn't need to or for Milly but they play for Bristol City regardless of management Louis of all people should recognise this after returning to the club he so publically slagged off after his transfer. But lets hope the past is behind us and ALL players pulling on the mighty red shirt pay it the respect it deserves regardless of who is in charge they owe it to the fans and the chairman.

Wiltshire Red Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 "Jeolous bitter person, i think your talking more about yourself than someone called Louis Carey." Hhhmmmm. Jealous and bitter. Nope. Just an honest opinion. Nothing would make me happier than to see Louis captain us to a successful mid table finish this season and a play off push next season. But after reading his quotes from today's programme I'm just a bit dissappointed by our captain. Read his quotes again and tell me, are you not just a little dissappointed in him too?!

Unfortunately the location of my season ticket seat means I get to watch the back 3/4/5 ALOT! So no ball watching for me! As for the delirious accusation that Ribs was asking for advice? How would you know whether or not he was asking for advice or not? Unless you had: A) supersonic hearing or B) exceptional lip reading abilities or C) You were on the pitch For all you know Ribs could've been asking for cupcake recipes! Incidentally, cupcake recipes are available from the following address: Blue Peter Cupcake Recipes BBC Television Centre London PO box......... Just kidding!

chinapig Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 yeah, I thought he had a good game - certainly looked like he cared. However, there's a small question mark over Newcastle's second for me - Carey seem to lose his man didn't he? If you watch again Ribeiro was standing in no-man's land marking nobody and did not cover the space behind Bradley Orr. Consequently Routledge had loads of room to set up the goal. After that if his pass was accurate a goal was pretty much a certainty. Not a lot Carey could do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galley is our king Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 only if they are not true... Your comments about Gary Johnson says it all really. Just remember you reap what you sow. Now tell me how you explain shipping 11 goals against Cardiff and Donny, but playing West Brom off the park? In the one game they cared, in the other they blatently did not, there is no other explanation. Putting in a shift is the least you can expect, ask yourself when was the last time you saw Carey dive infront of an opposition striker like he did on Saturday? At its best it is unprofessional, at its wost......... As I have said in a previous thread, if it was up to me he would be stripped of the captaincy forthwith.

downendcity Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 When GJ first came here, he imposed his authority on the players in order to restore discipline to the club. The players were understandably resistant and one of the three ringleaders in standing up to GJ was Carey ( the others being Stewart and Phillips). Stewart and Phillips were shipped out fairly soon afterwards, but Carey not only stayed but remained as Captain. However, I always wondered whether he had to eat a bit of humble pie, and lost face with other players when Johnson's management changed things for the better. Fast forward to this year. Things are not going well, and we then start to hear rumours of player dissent and almost rebellion in the dressing room. Depending on how you interpret the various rumours, it almost sounds as though GJ was being undermined from within the dressing room, and who is once again one of the ringleaders? I know that GJ perhaps brought a lot of things on himself, but is it beyond the realms of fantasy to wonder whether LC waited for the right time to get his revenge on GJ? Et tu Brute?!

At its best it is unprofessional, at its wost......... As I have said in a previous thread, if it was up to me he would be stripped of the captaincy forthwith. Then surely the question you should be asking yourself is WHY they didn't care? Maybe because of a manager who they simply did not want to play for anymore after continuos bad team selection, tactics, wasted transfers, strange loans, no youth given a chance, picking his son ahead of better players, bullying/violence (punches Sproule, throwing physios stool at Basso to name two incidents). Maybe they tried as you put it against West Brom as they were in the shop window so to speak on BBC television and could have seen a a chance to attract ither managers and get away from Johnson. What I'm trying to point out is there is always another side to the story and you can read the "Johnson is a hero and I love him even though he would have taken us down" one if you like but it's not the only one. BTW, I completely agree with donnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
