Port Said Red Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 When will League 1 teams start playing "proper football", it's embarrassing for Joey to keep losing to these shit teams, he would rather lose to good ones. Err, I think that's what he said. Anyway, he's off to Hearts or Leeds or somewhere to prove his point. Or not, as othe clubs don't run the same rehabilitation programmes as the Gas.

WessexPest Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) 5/3/14 (Sorry, force of habit!) Ah, the memories. I was at my son’s own football match and was doing a jig on the touchline when the FT score was confirmed; the other parents were asking “was that your son who just scored?” To which I replied nope, the Gash had just been relegated to the non-leagues, to universal American perplexity. Little did we know that afternoon the fun was just beginning; the scenes on the pitch at the Pisspoorial afterwards, their pathetic attempts during the summer to get their relegation overturned (“wYCOMBE aRE cHEATS!”), hilarious defeats to such colossi of the game as Altrincham, Bath and Braintree (with their ********* embarrassingly causing trouble at the latter), and meanwhile we lay the ghost of 1990 and - the ultimate bit of trolling - picking up the EFL Trophy while they were out of the EFL.

"Family" club, you're having a laugh. There are ex-City players who'd be booed or jeered (for various reasons) if and when they return to Ashton Gate. Others, like Josh Brownhill, get the respectful welcome of someone who had been a model pro for us - and he of course reciprocated that respect by clapping City fans. But I could never imagine City fans singing songs hoping for the death of one of our ex-players or posting that they want him seriously injured or to fall ill. That level of unpleasantness seems to breed among the swamplike conditions of the Mem, and you are right to note that a disrespectful a-hole like Barton encourages the mentality. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Decided to watch their highlights to check on the goal celebration. I was expecting Leahy to pause facing the Rovers fans and dish out some words but he just turns from the far post, runs past them looking/pointing at them then celebrates with the home crowd adjacent to that end. Something you see every game. I am sometimes critical of goal celebrations being over the top but there is nothing for JB to get upset about. As for disrespectful, coming from him? What can you say? BTW, very good saves from the Shrews keeper 2nd half to keep them ahead, Rovers had the chances. See Joey? Not too difficult to be objective.

Is there another manager anywhere in the football league who gets as bitter, and simply cannot handle a defeat with any grace. Another game, another loss, and another load of excuses that doesn't include Joey Barton as part of the reason why they lost.

There will be another load next season too, along with more freebies who will last a season or less, it's a great business model for the ongoing success over there. The self confessed genius knows what he is doing as he has offered advice to other managers/teams/players etc etc. How any club or manager thinks that is feasible for longterm success I don't know, but haven't they got rid of the academy or Al Quidi no longer wants it? It will be rinse and repeat season after season, and if they did manage to go up they would be screwed to get the next level of loans where they have to pay serious money for, or actually pay decent wages and fees for another set of players, as they won't have their own players ready to make the step up. I honestly think if they managed to go up it would be a bigger disaster for them rather than staying where they are in League One. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be very much in the minority on here - I'd love to see them scrape up. The view of them going back down with a record lowest points total would be spectacular! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
