since50owe Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Something about last night bothers me (apart from the obvious) Micky Gray (on talkspor) keep saying why has Alex, not used any subs, as some of his player look used up, as soon as they scored he did sub 3, was it all a masterstroke or witchcraft ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Didn't want to disrupt the team in a tight game, and added to that if it went to ET he'd have had 4 sets of fresh legs to bring on for 30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SiJ Posted May 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2022 I really, really don't like him. He's an arsehole and his teams are usually crap to watch. He's Prestoned Sunderland as far as I can tell. But, he got the job done on us, and that's what he's paid for. Think his main issue will be the Mackems will eventually lose patience with such a dull style of play. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 He needs to grow a beard. Something to add a bit of interest to the whole look, really. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrig Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Very unlikeable chap who uses "game management" to its max. 3 subs in stopage time when they had a throw in meant there was a stop in play of 2 minutes. When the 10 minutes of stopage time were up he starts going apocalyptic at the 4th official unable to comprehend where the additional stopage time has come from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Saw a headline where he seems to have said Wednesday ‘can stick it in their pipe’ about their victory. Seems a bad winner, never mind a bad loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Never liked his teams at Preston and always been a time wasting , faking injuries kind of gaffer . Unfortunately it’s the modern way is time wasting and faking , not sure when or how it will change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Can’t decide whether I want them to go up and back down or get sucker punched by Wycombe and see him gutted Hes a proper arsehole of the game 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I never liked his Preston team. Sunderland are fine but they will end up like Preston if they keep him as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warn both teams before game starts that bookings will be given for unsporting behaviour as soon as anyone takes the pizz. No warnings, a straight yellow. Also, use follow the effin rules, if a keeper holds onto the ball for more than 6 seconds, give a free kick. If a player goes down with anything other than a head injury do NOT stop the game. Players would soon stop, it's not difficult. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely refs have a massive part to play but this was about Alex Neil and not refs . the time wasting and cheating comments u make are spot on but unfortunately refs don’t clamp down on it . player wastes time repeatedly in first half they gesture to them to hurry up . That will happen 3/4 times . Then second half commences in same manner , maybe eventually a booking occurrs when it’s then too late to give them another . (They never give 2 bookings anyway for time wasting . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do that, then the players will fall in line. It's not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think Sunderland should at least be in the Championship based on their support… however Neil is an absolute tugger and I wish he’d leave football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is it needs a few referees to be brave and set the trend going for early bookings . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
