Protest? Not in my name...the football match is the main event

[SheffieldVillain]

Hasnt he singled out Albrighton previously as well?

There's a difference between criticising a player and falling out with them. If that's a stick to beat him with, then Alex Ferguson must be a really poor manager.

In terms of Albrighton, the fact that he subsequently got himself back in the team and started playing a bit better would suggest that the approach taken actually worked, no?

Sorry, I can't make it to the protest. I am going to stay at home and piss in my pants to register my discontent at whatever it is this time.

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm not going either.

I'll probably engage in some tutting at some point. Maybe even some attempt to engage the mrs in conversation about the way things are going.

She'll do that thing where she starts shaking her head, waving her finger, and saying "I told you, I don't care about your stupid football team" in an aggressive manner.

I might just protest against her instead.

[Witton Warrior]

I am starting my protest march (walk) in 15 minutes.
It will be for 1 hour and take in the countryside around Kinver.
I shall then return (in triumph) to listen to our glorious voctory on 5Live.

Anyone wishing to join my group I can pick you up from the Navigation car park in 10 minutes time.

Glad I'm not alone!

[Chris Smith]

I'm not going but that's because I'm sick, up until 1.30 I was all set to go but have had a turn for the worse. Managed to find someone to ave the ticket though.

I'm going to join Paulie and protest about his wife

[gervilla]

After seeing that Heskey starts , I would like to join a protest.
Does any one know of one happening in my area ?

[TheSandman]

So what happened?

10 teenagers making tits out of themselves or the Aston Spring?

[Somniloquism]

Whilst the protest was the predicted damp squib, I'm sure AMc's tactics for todays match will mean more might be willing to join in next time. He hasn't learnt since the Liverpool home match.

I feel sorry for DCF and others for defending him so vociferously and I will have to say betrayed like that as he reverts to the tactics you would expect from that lot down the road.

[Dante Lavelli]

So how many turned up?

[Somniloquism]

So how many turned up?

Between 50-100 depending on reports. More then the "protest, what protest" at the Everton game I believe. And after today and his comments afterwards arguing the performance and tactics were spot on, I would guess the number will go up next time if another one happens. I suppose it depends whether they think they can get their mugs on sky.

I was mightily impressed with the protest and their A4 sheets of paper with McLeish Out on them. It's still not about about where he came from, despite the fuck off back to small heath chants.

[paddys]

The problem is people still think it's about it coming from sha and that has nothing to do with my problem with him i could not care less where he came from. His tactics are baffling his team selections are puzling. He has lost the dressing room never had the fans and the blues fans at work actually feel sorry for me at work having to watch the football that they know we play as they had to sit through it for 3years.

Where he came from is the smokescreen. It a way for his supporters to avoid talking about 6 wins in 25 games.

In regards to the current manager, 1. The club 'targeted him' when they still had time to look at other candidates, and 2. His PL pedigree is one of struggle and relegation.
 
Also, the manager has also fallen out with several players (the biggest criticism of Houllier), including ones he signed only this season.

What evidence have you got of that?
McLeish may have bollocked a few players. That is part of a manager's job.
O'Neill signed them, fell out with them and didn't play them. That is a waste of club assets.
What is your hidden meaning about McLeish falling out with players all about?

What evidence? Well N'zogbia has resorted to expressing his utter frustration on Twitter, and the manager has resorted to criticising him and Ireland in the press. Don't really see that being all hands rowing together on a happy ship, but I may be wrong.

Rubbish. Houllier and MON both fell out with players and blanked them out the team altogether. John Gregory seemed to glory in public fall outs with members of his playing staff. One of McLeish's greatest strengths is keeping players in the loop and involved, while still maintaining his authority.
All the very best for todays game Boss !

I do hope after today's performance, you are reappraising that statement.
