BCFC Grim Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Did anyone else notice the groundstaff and the goalkeeping coach having a heated discussion at half time. Seemed the staff were just aasking him to warm FF up somewhere else and he didnt want to bugde. If thats was the case he needs to sort himself out, they did a cracking job getting the pitch up to a decent standard. More entertaining than most the game. Things really arnt looking good.

Cap flinger Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeh I saw this, you'd think the players and staff would be doing all they can for the ground staff at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Saw it. Keeper coach went nose to nose, very aggressively with a young-ish member of the ground staff. Craig the Head Goundsman came over and it all got a bit excited. When Pemberton came out for the second half Craig gave him a mouthful pointing and getting quite animated. I assume it will be dealt with internally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldie Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yep the coach came out of it looking like an ignorant bully. Not the sort of person that we should be employing. The ground staff do a fantastic job, this prat clearly thought that he was more important them them and tried to throw his weight around. I hope the club remind him that we should all be pulling in the same direction, not trying to threaten junior members of staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Didn't see it. Was watching that young lad trying to kick that ball through the hole! Fair play to DL for letting him keep going until he got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristolBEAT Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Goalkeeper Coach's behaviour was absolutely disgusting! I hope his wrists are well and truly wrapped. Loved Craig Richardson's reaction. "You move over there.. or you **** off down the tunnel". Pembo comes on "Your coaches do NOT speak to my staff like that". Respect.

BCFC Jordan Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 The ground-staff have practically been the only employees of the club that can be proud of the work they've done over the last few years. If the reports are true, I hope the goalkeeping coach is warned about his conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atyeo Benj Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Every half time at AG fielding comes out with Gk coach but every other team has their starting keeper come out so why does fielding come out and not Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Was excellent half time entertainment for us in the Williams, groundstaff should NOT be bullied by these type of idiots, does it show the type of idiot that cares more for himself than OUR club ???

Admin phantom Posted February 16, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Top credit to our ground staff, when I went to the Leeds anniversary event, just before seven last night the team of ground staff were still on the pitch forking/mowing. Shame some of our squad don't put this much effort on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandare 1966 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I was write there and gave the coach a mouthful he was write out of order and hope he gets a good rollicking from the manager when he finds out . He was only asked to move to a dryer part of the ground and told the lad to f o the ground was saturated in the morning and the lad told me they had been out there the whole morning so the game could be played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNBT Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 If our groundstaff didn't do such a great job we probably have a fixture pile up like others so credit to them for the job they do, think the goal keeping coach needs to know his roll :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 The pitch looked much better than I expected, and I am well used to it looking excellent. A Steward told me it was 'touch and go' earlier in the day whether the game would go ahead. I didn't notice any of the exchanges people mention, but I too would be on the side of the gound staff. Very unprofessional behaviour in front of his 'paying customers' if true, and I don't doubt it being so as several people obviously witnessed something.

They did a bloody brilliant job then as I couldn't tell the pitch was heavy. Looked and seemed to play like it usually does. Very well done to all staff involved. The reason we have a remarkably high standard pitch. Better than most Championship anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Peacock Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Every half time at AG fielding comes out with Gk coach but every other team has their starting keeper come out so why does fielding come out and not Moore Moore gets plenty of practice during the game. The opposition starting keeper doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make him hypocritical for starters. Let's not forget SC is the man who is documented (although not directly named) as having a half time team talk that consisted of calling each and every player in the dressing room a **** while at Pompey...

Harry Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 From what I understand, the Goalkeeper Coach wasn't the only member of our Managerial Team to have a disagreement with the groundstaff on Saturday. Apparently the groundstaff wanted the pitch to remain covered for as long as possible (2pm), but were instructed by a member of the Management Team to remove the covers in the morning. The downpour which then occurred between 11 and 1 actually nearly meant the pitch was unplayable. Certainly meant that certain area's were soaked, so I can completely understand the groundstaff getting touchy, being dictated to do something which they know is not the best for their pitch. Not for me to say who the member of the 'Management Team' was....... :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
