CiderSomerset Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Time to make the "(insert sags managers name here) mother is a whore" song redundant? He did a decent job for us and is a nice fella, so I wont be singing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 John Ward was a fantastic manager for us and it is outrageous that people would think of maligning him just because he now works for Bristol Rovers. I've always liked the bloke - there aren't many more genuine and honest men in football - and I wish him every luck and success at the Gas.

The Casual Connoisseur Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Football really has changed, it's only a song! John Ward is a nice bloke, but personally I hope he is hounded out under boos & showers of abuse as Rovers are cemented to the bottom & relegated. It won't happen but as Kevin Keagan once said.........."I'd love it, love it"........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 18, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 John Ward was a fantastic manager for us and it is outrageous that people would think of maligning him just because he now works for Bristol Rovers. I've always liked the bloke - there aren't many more genuine and honest men in football - and I wish him every luck and success at the Gas.In my time watching City, IMHO, there have been three fantastic managers, Dicks, Jordan and Johnson. But even they ended up as fallen heroes whose time was up (with maybe the exception of Jordan). Ward was average, took up Jordan's team then struggled and has done ever since.I've never met him, so have no idea if he is the jolly good egg that seems to be the consensus, but I'm afraid even if he is the nicest man ever to grace a managers bench, I hope he takes them down, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casual Connoisseur Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Having met John a few times I can confirm he is a very nice bloke, however he is very poorly dressed, looks like a coach driver and is a bit of throwback, all in all he will fit in well up there!........ .......oh & remember what they say; "nice guys finish last", well here's hoping!

PolskRed Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hear hear, What is this thread? Home of the politically correct brigade??? Nothing personal against John Ward as a human being but as a manager of the gas I hope he's a total flop and the whole thing ends in tears. No, it is the home of modern football.

I'm sure he's a nice bloke but he is now in charge of the Gash. I hope he fails miserably before going to another club, where I wish him all the success in the World (unless its Cardiff or Swindon). I suppose that kind of warped, evil viewpoint makes me the sort of swivel eyed hooligan that is ruining football so for that I apologise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcbs20 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 This is a typical dumb ass reply from a so called football fan JW is a gent and did a good job for us, what do you want to do with him now? Grow up and get out more from the confines of Bristol would be a start........... Eeeeeeewwwwwwwww ark at she did he not f### off to Wolves with Connor without giving us a second thought. F### him and f### the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 .. and the gas are going down with agent ward ... kinda rhymes with score... Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey54 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Did a decent job at City and appeared to get shafted when they wanted to bring Bennie the Clown in. Good luck to him and I hope that he makes a good fight of keeping the Gas in the football league until the 92nd minute of the last game when they concede late goal to be relegated. Tis the season to be jolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 There seems to be a few people getting confused on this thread. Personally I don't think I would join in if people started singing 'John Ward's mother is a whore', that doesn't change the fact that I want him to lose every single game while he is manager of Rovers. He did a good job for City and is a thoroughly decent bloke so unlike every other manager they've had I will stop short of personally abusing him. Like I said though, hopefully he is receiving a shed load of abuse from Rovers fans in the next few months as he takes them out of the football league.

Red-Robbo Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Good luck to John Ward. Hopefully see the Gas back in league1 with us in a couple of years Toolstation Western League division one is more likely for them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderSomerset Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 The thread was about not abusing his mother. I would find nothing sweeter than the gas going down to non-league... As someone else said, maybe the reputation Nick Higgs mother could be sung about instead of Ward's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to disagree mate. The best and most enjoyable football played was under Danny Wilson when we finished 3rd two years running. Can't fault Wards' signings (particularly Scott Murray) but it was Ward that called for help and that was why Benny was appointed. If he had have stayed and worked with Benny we might well have stayed up. I've met him and he does indeed seem to be a nice bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
