havanatopia Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk/story-18745610-detail/story.html Perhaps been posted already. I am never one to label someone and certainly you will not catch me using the word 'hate'; what does it ever achieve in life other than angst, tension and, well, more hate. Who needs that. Ian Holloway may have spouted some nonsense in the past, we all have, but he was younger and it was, as he says, banter. There is a line that should never be crossed but also we should all stop and think sometimes before we say something and ask the question 'is it really necessary' ? What does it do, hidden behind a computer keyboard, other than to perhaps pump the ego chest? I always find the guy entertaining, I see no point in 'hating' anyone or 'anything'. Some people ought to try it sometime; its actually quite rewarding. Holloway clearly cares about our plight, I genuinely believe that. He did not need to come out and say anything but he did and, for the record, he should be considered a better man for it by those who gave him no slack whatsoever. Of course we can still say we do not want his team to get promoted but, for me at least, thats not because of him its because its Palarse.

sglosbcfc Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 To me it sounds like a pop at City and also a pop at Cardiff about their kit and badge change (which is fair play of course). Funny he didn't mention the attitude of Bristol Rovers players. Bookies second favourites to be promoted and one of the largest budgets in the division and yet they are in the bottom half having spent most of the season in the bottom two.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) It's hard to judge his record tbh, he's done very decent at times and very crap at times. Took Leicester down to 3rd tier for first time in history, put that lot on other side of town in a hole after blowing top 6 from abrilliant position season before. He steadied ship at QPR, did amazing to get Blackpool up and have them competiting in PL before walking out and good work at Plymouth. Palace he seems to have possibly blown a playoff place depending on final few games from a great position. He does talk some crap though, but at same time we have invested badly. Not a great fan of him on balance. Edited April 22, 2013 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on imo. Im sorry OP but I think it's naive to believe that any Gashead wishes the best for Bristol City. They talk the talk of course, like before the Hull Play Off final when they were all saying that it would be good for Bristol to have a team in the Prem (just in case we did it) but the reality is that Dean Windass will be just as much a permanent fixture in Ollys 'wankbank' as he is for those scruffy looking Gypsies on that Tote End Reunion video.

southvillekiddy Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) He pretends he's stupid sometimes and sometimes he actually is stupid but a lot of what he says is very calculated to promote the career of Ian Holloway eg. him sniffing around City when England had the bid for the World Cup and it looked like we might get Ashton Vale as a World Cup venue. Nice little earner for him being on Telly commentating and preparing the path for a career in TV Football Punditry. I admire the way he inspires quite ordainary players to play above that level for him but The comments made over the years - and it's not hard to find them - show that he hates City as only a Gashead can.
