Gambol2K9 Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 Was it just me or did he looked seriously ****ed off that the fans were on the pitch? I know he'd probably planned the lap of honour and trophy presentation, but surely they must have expected a pitch invasion, especially considering the low number of stewards, i think there was about 10 stretched across the whole northam.

Gemmel Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 I think the huge grin, waving at the fans, lifting the trophy and celebrating with his son (I assume) paint a different picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint.tom.clancy Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 Well he was obviously expecting it otherwise they would have got the dogs out / made the stewards at least attempt to not let anyone on. Looked like he was enjoying it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidshokk Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 I was a few rows in front and was trying to gauge what he was feeling. he looked calm and content and looked like he didn't want to get too carried away (he's nowhere near his target yet). He looked slightly nervous at times too with so many eyes on him and I'm sure he was fighting emotions when "one Markus Liebherr" was being sung, as his bit onto his lip throughout. Yes, I know I paid far too much attention He certainly didn't look p!ssed off at any point, from where I was standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats not a very very happy boss then I don't know what is, if he looked slightly ****ed at the prospect of a pitch invasion it was probably only becuase he knows how much it costs to maintain probably the best pitch outside the top flight.

BARCELONASAINT Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 it amazes me how a small minority have to find something negative to say about the club and NC in particular. I should imagine NC went through a number of different emotions on Saturday.....his great friend never got to see part of the dream fulfilled and the singing by the fans chanting Markus name must have really chocked him. He has never been in charge of a football club that has just won promotion and he must have felt an enormous amount of pressure delivering promotion for not only the fans but the Leibherr family. If he didnt appear totally relaxed i'm not surprised but i bet he was brimming with pride inside that he has delivered part one of Markus dream. Have a great summer NC and thanks for a great year. Great to be a Saints fan once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 I thought he looked more nervous rather then annoyed. Then as others mentioned he started to get more chilled and joined in as it progressed. Could be many reasons why he was nervous. I remember sometime ago he mentioned something about him having severe anxiety on match days, sometimes not even being able to sleep the night before.

Gambol2K9 Posted 9 May, 2011 Author Share Posted 9 May, 2011 Oh good, more fans not happy with having little to moan about, so trying to make something out of nothing. Not having a moan or being negative, you can tell NC was enjoying himself towards the end, looked like he'd relaxed a bit as others mentioned. Just thought that he seemed annoyed at the pitch invasion at first, which surprised me considering how little effort was made to keep people off. Almost as if he never expected it. Was a great day though and a really fitting end to the season. Give me a trophy presentation in the directors box over a lap of honour any day!

saintscottofthenortham Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 The fact that he didn't rip his shirt and tie off and swing it around his head whilst running onto the pitch screaming "You Skate B*stards, WERE COMING FOR YOU!" just showed how little emotion he has for the club.

hypochondriac Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 I don't know any other club who constantly talks about the chairman. I hope next season he makes the right decisions and is hardly mentioned.

If your quick to scathe him, you should equally praise him during his successes. To be fair he's been shown to get not a lot wrong in his time.
