England Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Not his fault, it was because of the new ball - only problem with that is that the makers say it is the same ball but a different colour so presumably in addition to being a flapper, he is colour blind as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neo Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I find it all very alarming.The one thing us fans need to see and hear is that our "stars" (yeah right), are up for the challenges ahead and are not going to shirk their responsibilities or hide behind excuses.That's knackered then! I'm alright Jack, not my fault! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the Faith Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I think the fact that he has removed himself from all blame is a bit strange. Maybe he could take some of the blame but mention the whole ball thing but to say he was in no way responsible is a bit irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I think the fact that he has removed himself from all blame is a bit strange. Maybe he could take some of the blame but mention the whole ball thing but to say he was in no way responsible is a bit irritating.I think it would have been better for him to have said nothing, or at least keep that conversation between him and his team mates and manager. Bringing it up again a few days after the event is a bit silly. I think most of us have reluctantly come to terms with the fact we are out of all cups, whatever Phillips says isn't going to change that and may only annoy people further.

andy g Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Like other people on this forum I can't believe the Steve Phillips 'excuse story' on the website today.I can't believe the club decided to publish it.Not for the first time we see a story which is bound to lead to the ridicule of a player or member of staff at the club. Surely this is counterproductive and unnecessary ? Ok, so Phillips says something daft (again), but why repeat it for the amusement of the fans ?The most incredible example of these 'own goals' was, of course, the infamous Danny Wilson story after the defeat at the millenium stadium. The headline 'defeat is not a failure' coupled with a grinning picture of Danny Wilson really angered many fans and put another nail in his coffin.I'm not saying any of this is deliberate, but surely the club realises the effect these stories have ?

Very good point Andy - would the club's (part time) media consultant really allow material to be published such as to influence people's opinions of his BCFC colleagues past, present or future?

The headline 'defeat is not a failure' coupled with a grinning picture of Danny Wilson really angered many fans and put another nail in his coffin.Particularly as the story appeared just above an article headlined "Winning is everything!".

Northern Red Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I think that has to be the funniest and most orginial excuse I have ever heard!What will they think of next???? Almost as good as the one that Man Utd used saying that they couldn't see each other in grey shirts at Southampton because it clashed with the crowd.
