I think this is the audio full version of Fatty Evans interview last night which includes the bits edited out. He certainly abuses the interviewer and is rattling on about their goalkeeper's 2nd save which was decent, according to Evans, Donald Duck could have saved it.

The thing that caught my eye last night night was the look of thunder and the torrent of abuse Evans gave the referee as he came of the field. I know the jury is out on whether the ref had a good game last night but he certainly was not biased in view of the free kick he gave Rotherham in added on, added on time.

As for Evans, I would be utterly ashamed to have him in charge of my club due to the way he conducts himself and the football he dishes up. UTO's
I wonder if the EFL will now charge him for misconduct

Grew into it in the second half and just about deserved the win. Usual Rotherham and F.Evans tactics.

The win only papers over the cracks of a poor side.

Positive is the keeper. Far more reassuring watching him between the sticks. Also, OON who wasn’t scared to have a shot.
I said Keeley is quality. Hope he doesn't have to many call ups the remainder of the season
Ireland U21 campaign is over, no more callups for JK (this season)
Yes but he has been called up to the full international squad already & they may want a peak at him in games

Evans was moaning about missing big players . Well we're also missing big players . Clare , Graham and Archibald . Imagine how much better we would be with them all fit and ready to go . Evans sounds like sour grapes to me .

Never understood how the term "sour grapes" crept into football. It was originally taken from an Aesops fable about a fox who couldn't reach some grapes, so he denounced them as sour and didn't want them anyway. In other words, if you can't have something, you say you didn't want it in the first place. In football parlance, it just seems to be about someone having a moan about anything.
So, please desist from using this term unless it actually does apply. For example "I wouldn't have Haaland in the O's team anyway as he's too ugly"

Calm down mate, no need to get all sour grapes about people using phrases in a way you don’t like.

Like everyone, you mean, was saying how our goalscoring problems will be resolved once Agyei returns from injury?

Moncur is either injured or out of favour as he did not feature in the squad for Southends last game

Worth listening to his interview tonight on You Tube where he blames the World and his dog for the season so far.

He should be the way he went on. Cannot recall the penalty he said they should have had. On this showing his team is average .He is a bit like Trump always blaming others and never himself. I think RW has outgunned him on the last 2 meetings we have had and he does not like it. Shame!
