Steve Watts Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 (edited) Couldn't see a thread on it and nothing on the OS either. Who/what won what? Guessing Rob Dickie player of the year and Tommy (by default) as young player of the year? Who got players player, champagne moment etc? Did they have a Teknical Director Son of the Year award?

cidercity1987 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 When was it? The vote for champagne moment only closed Friday evening. Has it even happened yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And TGH v Middlesbrough got unofficial goal of the season (as voted for by the players in one of the Club's Instagram videos). I agree, it's a banger.

I'm not anti anyone at the club, had no massive issue with Pearson going (timing aside) and quite like us under Manning, but to big this season up as something special just stinks to me. We heard the awards being announced as we were walking down the back of the Lansdown. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We heard the awards being announced as we were walking down the back of the Lansdown. I suppose the alternative is to chuck away all the effort of everyone at the club and say ‘well that was not worth celebrating ‘. We have had our moments this season even if overall we haven’t troubled the top six. It has been a season of transition and recuperation from a disastrous handling of the end of the Pearson era . The success is that we have stayed up despite huge pressure on the new coaching staff and the apparent progress now manifesting itself on the pitch. Let’s hope that next season we don’t have any questions raised about ‘ success ‘. As an aside. The other day in the city I saw a little arrow on which was written , ‘ the way to success ‘ . I followed the directions until I came to another green arrow with ‘ the road to success ‘. I was curious and continued on the way . Until I spotted another arrow pointing to the right where it was written ‘ the path to success ‘ . I duly followed. I few metres on I saw yet another sign on the door of a block of flats , it said ‘ the door to success ‘ . I opened the door and climbed the stairs. As I arrived on the third floor I saw a wooden door , ajar. I tapped on it and a man came to meet me , ‘ hi, I’m Cec’ . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning will ultimately either prove himself or not, like any manager, no issues with that at all and it would be better for the club and fans if he does. However the rest of the operation is a complete shower of shite.............the comms is a disgrace and trying to sift through the lies, untruths, minimisations and exaggerations to get to the truth of what is happening at the Gate is tiresome. When 5000 ignore the announcements and pile on the pitch at the final home game you know you've cracked it..........

All well and good, but a simple announcement letting us know the end of season awards were being done following the usual players walking round acknowledging the fans after the final whistle would have sufficed. Why take the players off the pitch straight away to come out later on and call it a celebration? I am all for a simple thankyou, but to big it up was really over the top.

They take us for mugs but this is a general ‘ dumbing down ‘ of our society. It’s only a matter of time before matches can only be drawn so as not to upset any fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The awards followed by the lap of appreciation followed by the Wurzels was known about before the match, and they were hardly likely to do 2 laps of thanks (seemed the same as every last home match to me)! They came around with their partners and kids and they were signing autographs and taking photos for people - Manning too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He takes too long announcing the subs, so by the time he mentions player 2 and 3 coming off, they are often already off the pitch. Yesterday I was hoping that Matty James would get the recognition he deserves with a rousing round of applause as he walked off given it may be his last match for us. Instead he was already off the pitch before his name was announced. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to change your strap line to ‘I only believe it when I read it on the OS (and provided I have not misread it).’ Seriously though it’s a shame you thought that and perhaps City comms could have been clearer, ie hammer home it was free. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
