Red Cloud Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 came on the pitch bowing to the jeers & started to play fight with our mascot then bizarrely started clapping the fans who returned the applause - like I said, bizzarre!

Drew Peacock Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 At least he behaved better than that ###### of a Leicester player who decided to kick away the mascots ball so they had no ball to kick about with.Completely and utterly despicable behaviour, spoiling the memory of a lifetime for 4 kids. Totally out of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinnionForEngland Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 And you did'nt find the boos stupid?No, as has been said plenty of times he's Rovers through and through and has put my beloved football team down many many times, no matter who Leicester's manager was it wouldn't be stupid, you arn't supposed to be nice to the opposition.

Here's a Bristolian saying we will hopefully be in the prem.He said that comment after the game, if they had lost to us i very much doubt whether he would of said it, and football's all about banter, we're hardly going to sing that we love him, when simply, we don't.

bh_red Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 since his departure from Rovers, he's been a very different person towards Bristol football, he does feel a bit bitter towards the gas for sacking him after he has felt that he dedicated his life to the club and in the last few years has become more of a supporter of Bristol and Bristol Football in general and in fairness as he's got older has been quite complementary about City.So for some he has gained a grudeing part of respect from some City fans.personally speaking though, he's a former gas player, former gas manager and today was the away team manager?!!? why the f@@k was he clapped of the pitch!!!

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Why do you doubt that he would have said it? What is this Roger, 20 questions?? Hollowhead has never made any attempt to disguise his contempt for Bristol City and City fans. If he's mellowed a bit there's still far too much history between Skeletor and City to ever forgive or forget. It is indeed bizarre that any City fan should feel inclined to applaud him.

Roger Red Hat Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 He probably would of been bitter after defeat, we'll never know though.Indeed we wont.What is this Roger, 20 questions??No, just interested to hear what thought processes people go through to arrive at their opinions as sometimes people don't seem to think things through. Hollowhead has never made any attempt to disguise his contempt for Bristol City and City fans.I think b h red makes a well observed point above.

screech Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I clapped him, partly for his performance before the game when he emerged at the tunnel entrance to recieve his pantomine booing, he knows how to get to his audience and the suckers fell for it.Hes a Bristolian who has done well for himself, is well liked in the game and is very bubbly and can have a laugh at himself, his past is insignificant at Ashton gate, he played for the Rovers and managed them, that part of his life is a million miles away. He played the perfect decoy for his players by putting himself into our faces and taking the spotlight off them, he aint daft even though he may act it. Top bloke in my eyes, the game of footie would be a lot duller without characters like him in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 And you did'nt find the boos stupid?I haven't got strong feelings either way for Skeletor - I find him funny and annoying at the same time. I booed him though, it's just pantomime really, and today he was the villain - no harm done, and to be honest he probably wouldn't have it any other way. He's a football fan like the rest of us & would do exactly the same I expect. Besides, football is a passion, would be a bitboring if we politely applauded everyone all the time.
