ex player slagging off ling

[Wally Banter]

Yes - a masterpiece of its type.

“We’ve established that X happened. Probably.”

“I’m pretty certain that Y will happen”

“X and Y are definitely creating Z”

“Let’s stop talking about it”

[Rich Tea Wellin]

I really miss the lame comebacks thread from the old Board...

Let me try a sensible reply then. You're reading way too much into a short interview where the manager is speaking off the cuff, immediately after a match, probably not even having seen footage of the goals back. Someone's confidence isn't going to be destroyed because his manager mentioned his name when talking about individual errors costing the team at present. Judd wasn't the only one at fault for that particular goal but he could have done better and he'll know that.

If Ross had said "Juddy is a f*cking awful player", blamed him solely for the defeat or accused him of not pulling his weight, then yes you'd have a point about denting his confidence, but you're making a massive generalisation about what a manager should and shouldn't say in his post-match interviews (which is a small part of the man-management side that you're going on about, the majority of which will come from Ross's day-to-day interactions with the players). Literally every player makes a mistake that costs his team a goal, doesn't mean he's a bad player.

It's not comparable at all to someone exaggerating about a player's lack of defensive capabilities in very general terms as though it'll never change. Fine if he doesn't rate him of course, but at least explain specifically why, especially as someone with playing experience that the fans won't have. Also not saying he should have to apologise for his views, but the club is right to be defensive of it.

How do you know a managers public comments will not knock a players confidence. All people are different and some may be more sensitive than others, or simply sensitive to criticism when trying to win a place in the team and develop their future. Such generalisation is nonsense. We don’t know all the facts nor the players.

That is very true. How do we know a players confidence is not knocked if he sees criticism aimed at him by a numpty who's probably never played no better than Sunday league football on a fans message board. We know our Chairman (gawd bless him) is a visitor, how do we know players don't read it.

Are you talking about me or Ross with the Sunday League comment?

I’ve seen Wumble kick a can
Looked decent to be fair

I think we have established, that Ling jnr, is unfairly favoured by the club because he's son of the DOF ( probably)

I think its pretty certain, that while Travis & Teague own the club, Martin Ling has a job for life, and while Martins here, so has Sam a job for life.

Its creating a bad atmosphere around the club, made worse IMO, by Andy Gilson giving a completely unnecessary apology for something Kevin Dickenson said .
Im sick of the whole thing now, and suggest the club stop wrapping Ling up in cotton wool, and the fans just let this drop

Congratulations you have just won Pr1ck of the Week with that post.
Bad atmosphere ? You idiot

What a nasty unnecessary reply from you. absolutely no need for abuse like that, especially from someone whos silly sausage of the day.....every day

Agreed. No player should be openly criticised.

The fanny boy channels should be shut down.
