tarn owl Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I don't listen to the pundits before, during or after the game and this isn't going to make me start anytime soon. We seem to live in a culture where you have to have a strong opinion on everything, even if you have no idea what is going on. Apologies needed from Murphy and Gullit in my eyes and the BBC maybe should have more pundits like Scott who knew what was happening compared to the rest of them.

sternlad Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Took 10 mins this morning to fill in a bbc complaint form, they don’t make it a swift process! Nevertheless, I complained about the two numpties thoughtless comments on Bruce’s appointment and of there treatment of Alex Scott who they attempted to belittle. I too was surprised that Gabby Logan didn’t support Alex Scott more from her position as ‘Chair’, maybe she was in shock at their moronic behaviour. I await a reply from the bbc and suggest that more folks on here fill the complaint online form in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookieisdown Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Away from football, if you were making a big appointment and you thought you'd found the right candidate, you'd definitely be prepared to wait the extra month. Appointments are the most important things to get right, and seldom easy. Whether this is the right appointment is a different question; time will tell. But it would have been weird not to be prepared to wait a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. Nobody had any issue with it till that pair of morons piped up last night. Danny Murphy didn’t achieve much as a player, and he’s achieving a little less as a pundit. Absolute two hat.

vulva Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Bit of an odd situation all round. Just wonder what would have happened and what the reaction would have been if we were in the bottom 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce is on a break and will join us this week- he's happy, DC is happy, we're happy. Where is the issue? Well judging from this text and other stuff flying around social media we ain't happy with people taking the peeesss out of our club...admire your laid back approach and analysis of classic media strategies, but for me they got it well wrong, poor research , poor punditry...(is there such a word as punditry?)...

theowlsman Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Not aware of anyone at SWFC not supporting Bruce’s need for a break, and time spent with his Mrs. Top club, top fans.

He is an awful pundit says nothing of any use, and always looks a right miserable git. Punditry is such an easy job yet they can't be bothered to do their homework.....e.g. Lawrenson when FF comes on 'He's been sent off a few times so he must be feisty'. Well actually Mark, yes he has been sent off 3 (I think) times. The first 2 were in the space of 7 days each for 2 bookable offences. The first at Preston was for a dubious deliberate handball followed by alleged diving, the second at Hull where he was correctly booked for a shirt pull then had the audacity to put his shin against Dawsons flying boot...….when Dawson thought he was going to be sent off for a professional foul. None of that could be classed as feisty. The third sending off was when Ben Pearson had kicked him all over the park and had no protection from the ref so he took it upon himself to put matters straight. Feisty on that occasion? Probably, but definitely provoked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Glad that AB is getting support from others in the game like Wright, Dixon etc defending SB as they actually know what he's been through. Alex Scott was sticking up for Bruce and just bullied by the 2 twats, Gabby Logan should've been more informed and given a justification in response. God knows why they don't choose a pundit who's actually followed the league one of the teams playing is in, they would be able to give a proper informed response right away, and make them look like a right pair of twats. If Bruce needed another month to get himself fully right for the challenge ahead I would still accept it. We want him to do more than a short term job here, and he is the best we could attract by far- need him to be fully refreshed and raring to go here as it's a big job ahead. The MU comment by Guillit was a disgrace and offered nothing. Would he be saying that about Chesterfield in conference too? Prat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said Bruce, but he should never have had to defend himself. Murphy and Guillit really ought to apologise to him, both a disgrace. I like how he was still watching how the England team's coaching and the differences. So the trip wasn't for just relaxation either. Quote “They may have lost the first Test but being able to speak to the coaching staff, learn about how they do things and the way they prepare, that can only be useful to me as a manager,” he added. “It’s a different sport but they have been extremely successful over the last few years and I wanted to tap into that.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
