SaintRichmond Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 The Story So Far Blackpool (H) Lost 0-1 Excuses :- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " QPR (A) Lost 4-1 Excuses :- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " Rotherham (A) Lost 3-1 Excuses :- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " Coventry (A) Lost 4-1 Excuses :- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " Watford (H) Lost 0-3 Excuses:- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " .... Is it just me, or can I spot a trend of the same old excuse here ???

ladysaint Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Is that for real, the same quote used for those games. Why dont managers just say it as it is, we were crap and couldnt hit a barn door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Super Saint Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Sadly I think it's worse than that, with a manager who can't even be bothered to say what was wrong..... An angry Jan Poortvliet refused to look for excuses following Saturday's defeat and vowed that his side will bounce back quickly against Sheffield United on Tuesday night. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=10762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocco boxo Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 WGS tried IMO to tell it how it was.I do get fed up with all these managers saying the same, however they are normally asked the same stupid questions. JP is starting to annoy me with his comments, a nice man I feel who is in the wrong job at the wrong time. I feel Pearson's attitude and style might have been a better option for the next couple of years. I look at both Managers as school teachers, if you were a kid I fancy taking the **** out of JP would be easier than NP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest that one or two of you get used to hearing excuses however...because as we all knew at the start of the season we are going to lose more than a few games this season...and if he just came out and said "meh...i get paid anyway" then that would be a little less satisfactory than an excuse, or a summary of where he thinks the game has gone wrong and a promise to try and put things right...

Jez Posted 21 October, 2008 Share Posted 21 October, 2008 I remember the morale destroying stuff Redknapp used to come out with, and completely slate the players every time and push all the blame onto them. I'd much prefer to hear what JP has to say now instead of that kind of nonsense, and whilst he has held some players accountable, at least he is protecting them to a degree. Not sure where people thought we would finish this season - pushing for promotion? Maybe if we were lucky, but more likely just avoiding relegation, which is where we are now. Which means we will lose games, and there will be reasons/excuses why. Get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 21 October, 2008 Share Posted 21 October, 2008 This is just the usual trolling drivel from SaintRichmond. Completely making stuff up, passing it off as true and then getting all annoyed about it as he did with the first post on this laughably pathetic thread is pretty much his stock-in-trade and comes through on everything he's ever posted. One can criticise Poortvilet for lots of things, and also sympathise for him being over- promoted into a role beyond him, but to slate him for the crime of repetitious excuse making is childish and not even accurate. The one thing I have been impressed with is Jan's post match comments and he has demonstrated something of a gift for the genre having been in equal parts honest, even handed, furious, delighted and frustrated as the games have played out. The lame-ass accusation that "duh he says the same fing everytime" that SR is peddling here is barely accurate and of all the things to have a go at him for is way, way, way down the list. There are plenty of managers that do peddle the same old lines the same old times, but of course they are the managers that SaintRichmond would really want us to have. All in all, just goes to show SaintRichmond really hasn't got a fuc king clue about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
