Managers don't deserve the shit they get from some fans. Agree. Where I disagree is in how damning I would be of his reaction: I'm not at all, don't think it reflects on his temperament being a weak spot (there are other, better examples of that). When you have morons shouting at you, after a really frustrating defeat, who have little more than cabbage between their ears and their only way to articulate and debate is to swear and to call for you to be sacked I think it somewhat pious to expect there to be no reaction. Look at SOD with his stupid question; that was equally as unprofessional it just didn't include effing and blinding; well, that was a different situation dealing with a professional rather than a buffoon. Unprofessional yes, a moment of weakness, yes. Understandable, excusable, without doubt. A sign of poor control of emotions, no - a demonstration he was human. In any case not sure where the idea you need to have a control of emotions to be successful in football - or professional - comes from. Football is a game which is wholly unprofessional from the top to the very bottom and everywhere inbetween. Players showing no respect for officials, Wenger pushing a guy, Fergie showering saliva over officials with his swearing tirades, le great sulk, Mourinho slagging off officials left, right, centre; diving. Could go on. The idea that a manager should have a strong control of emotions or be stoic even... can't think of one example other than Glenn Roeder.

If every fan saw everything that happened at a club throughout the week, and understood all it's workings and reasons why players weren't playing well, personal reasons etc then I'm sure their nature towards everything would be different.

Cotterill (wrongly but understandably) lost his rag when being repeatedly called a see you next Tuesday by one of his own teams "fans". Neither were right, but I know which reaction I understand.

You know exactly why I don't like Sc...because of how he was going about running the club, and what was going on behind the scenes. If you know someone's doing stuff for their own benefit , and not giving a toss about damaging the club, then I'll shout and scream. If LJ was doing the same...I'd shout and scream. LJ maybe failing as a parent right now, but he's trying to be a good parent, it's not for the want of trying to be good. If in the other hand he was saying one thing, and then screwing your wife's sister behind your back...you'd be all over it. You have to take each manager and circumstances.

I meant more in terms of LJ making SC whatever his shortcomings look as good a manager as SAF As regards this ridiculous comparisons of bad runs - SAF ihad his , After winning the Scottosh League twice, The Scottish FA Cup , Winning the Cup Winners Cup , oh and managing a Scotland at the 86 World Cup - not a great comparison to LJ is it ?

I haven't seen any of those things during matches for this entire run, home and away. Away as reported several times recently is at best one massive attempt at smothering the team and manager in love, at worst it's silence. To my eyes and ears it has been the most patient and supportive any club could reasonably expect to get in the circumstances (perhaps a bit quieter in recent home games unsurprisingly, but not at all abusive or negative). Have I missed some abuse that you've seen the present team deal with? Perhaps you were just referring to the SC incident, but your comments read like an attack on something in the present, particularly when you speak (not for the first time) about "IF LJ" turns it round, a load of people would be all "sing when you're winning"? I can't remember anyone doing any different. I should hope everyone would be singing if we win 8 in a row, we'll all have earned it! There would be a lot lot worse happening at many other clubs by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the same SAF that won the European Cup Winners Cup, the Scottish FA Cup and the Scottish League title, smashing the Old Firm dominance of football north of the border. Not to mention being caretaker manager of the national team fior the 1986 World Cup. That was before he joined Manchester United. What was the analogy again?

I love the SAF analogy You're right It is no comparison. Imho the analogy is that SAF (spit!!) won a two horse race....when Aberdeen weren't one of the two horses!
