Before i begin i would just like to appologise for my abrupt departure yesterday, it was silly of me to overreact in such a way over a subject which i am more convinced that i am right on after tonight's display! The performance was very poor to say the least and it waas the long ball throughout the majority of the match against a pretty crap side. The tactics were all wrong and the only sub that our great manager made was bringing Howard on who i still maintain is the best midfielder at the club, he was unlucky not to hit the bar with his excellent chip and the midifield looked better when he came on. The defending for their goal was poor and after that we just gave up and we had no motivation or desire to win and a draw was a fair result as it was two crap sides. Ritchie may have won that game on another night but i get the feeling that his luck is slowly starting to run out... We will have to wait and see..... Appologies again for my outburst yesterday and i have no intention of getting into anymore arguments over the matter as i have made my feelings about the management of the team by messers Holden and Ritchie very clear!!!
Cheers mate, it's good to be back!! I have a question though, Why did the board initially plan to offer Ritchie a 1 year contract and then suddenly decide to extend it to 2 years, this means that we have to put up with him for next season as well.
what are you appologising for,you didnt do owt wrong apart from make you're self look a tit with yer overreaction to a bit of ribbing you got on here, dont take yer sen too seriously fella, we all get a bit of stick on here, but it dont mean owt.
It wouldn't have happened if my European lottery numbers had come up. I'd have put £10 million into the club. Brought Dick Bate or Martin Hunter in as the manager.Offered Simon Clifford the Academy Directors job and put myself in there as an assistant coach. </p> All these Richie apologists would be singing Mr Coachmans praises then. </p>
Nice bloke Martin........ Much experience as a manager though mate?</p> Nope........</p> While you were at it fetch Kev Fogg back.</p>
RE: Nice bloke Martin........ Kev Fogg? I only know him from the Sheff.U Academy.</p> Did he coach at Oakwell?</p> I thought he went direct from Chesterfield College to the blunts?</p> He's a bloody good coach though. I see him on Sheff & Hallam CA evenings. </p>
kev Fogg was junior coach in 92-94ish..... Intermediates etc.</p> A good text book coach but struggled at that time to get it across to the players cos he hadn't played to any level.</p> Nice bloke like.......</p> Eddie Edwards the old scout (about 90 and no lie) used to take the piss out of his manhood by saying he couldn't do damage to a mouse with that thing!!</p> Top put down.......**** knows why I've told you lot that like?</p>
RE: kev Fogg was junior coach in 92-94ish..... Thanks for that.</p> </p>I was Lecturing at Chesterfield in 1997 but he had left by then.We had a lot of staff who were coaching in different academies. It was brilliant at lunch time just to talk footy.
RE: i thought that master bate was already managing barnsley To be honest I'd have had a job getting Dick Bate back as he has just left the FA to become the Director of Coacing with the FA. with the Canadian FA. </p>
RE: You wouldnt have come on had we played well and won Rubbish! you were hoping for a bad performance so you could feel proved right. (N)
