Did he walk on at the end to give the ref a bollocking, or £100. How we never got them penalties in todays game I will never know. The Lino should have spotted them too.

I liked him and thought he did a great job.  Still think he was stupid to leave us though and listening to those who've been on commentary players don't seem to have much time for him.

What struck me is how much squad change we've had since he left.  Not one player playing today started the last game McCann was in charge of.

Don’t know what he was watching, but it wasn’t the game, basically he’s saying every free kick we got wasn’t a foul and every contact  their players felt was a foul, says wilkes was in front of sims for the pen, whe he wasn’t, says our bench was shouting for a pen everytime the ball went into the box, f**king tosser, glad we are rid of him

There was hardly a real free kick in the match BST.

Are you not allowed to go within 1 foot of an opposing player in the modern game.

He gave everything to us 2nd half except 2 massive penalty decisions. 1st half he gave everything to Hull
Don’t think he got 10% of his decisions correct in the entire game.
Appalling absolutely incompetent and I am getting fed up of saying the same thing match after match.
Title: Re: McCann
Post by: jmt23 on February 20, 2021, 08:06:19 pm
He was a very poor ref, or just having an off game. The free kicks for both teams were in the main silly.
Hull got what they deserved, they had a plan to get the ball in the box, as soon as possible in the first half. Why as a team would you not put one more cross in the box, or even try. They just tried to slow time us and con the ref, for the second half.

I said it in the first game against them, they are not a good team - they seem bang average, obviously the league doesn't lie, be interesting to see where we both are at the end of the season - at this point im not sure

I know we didn’t win today, just felt like a win.

The guy is limited as a manager,  he had us on the ropes at half time, but got his tactics badly wrong 2nd half. Sat back & invited us on, let Bostock control midfield, while his 2 goal striker was spent on 60 minutes giving us an easy ride out of defence. Yes we were excellent 2nd half, but our mister McCann helped us bless him.

Title: Re: McCann
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on February 20, 2021, 11:51:16 pm
Both matches against Hull, they have physically collapsed in the last 30 mins. Not just  individuals, but the whole side has gone deeper and deeper and looked off the pace. Granted they scored a late winner at their place after chucking on s £1m striker, but that was pretty much their only attack of note in the last half hour. Same again today. The territorial stats for the second half must have made frightening reading.

Post by: 5 on Tour on February 21, 2021, 12:20:44 am
When he was hear we loved him and thought he was building something great. He gave us a great season that ended with a wonderful night at Charlton. Maybe we were looking at him with rose tinted glasses.

He left us in a truly disgusting manner which a person could only be capable of if they are incredibly self centred and arrogant.

All managers are one sided in views and they have to be to appease fans/board/press etc... but the more time McCann spends at Hull the more he is coming across as a complete and utter asshole. He’s obviously under pressure but the sh!te that comes out of his mouth is just plain ridiculous.

That interview tonight after the game was a joke. What handballs? I didn’t see any handballs? Are you sure? Well the people in the ground were making noise and the ref bought it! You got booked for spouting off loudly enough for the ref to hear you from the other side of the pitch! P R I C K

Well I get the vitriol towards McCann and the way that played out I really do .

The level your club aspires to reach makes McCann look positively Corinthian .

Wake up guys .

The days of SOD 's pure football have their place but it's a different ball game now in the championship .

Seen this shyte with my own eyes last season and this .

The biggest compliment I can give Wycombe Wanderers is they are possibly the worst championship team I've ever seen but they've got the points they've got because they are a bunch of shytehouses .

The Corinthian spirit up from league one will get eaten alive in the championship .

McCann may well get Hull back up and he's possibly the smarts to keep em in the championship .

It is what it is .

I agree with both points. There’s room for both great football and what Tyke is saying too.

That’s the one thing I do miss about McCann at Rovers. At times we played some good football and that’s gone up a level at times under Moore. What I feel we’re just lacking at the minute is that one or two players to shithouse teams. A Wilks, Marquis, Kane, Rowe - they just had that “love them in your team, hate them for the opposition” feel about them. And there is something artistic about that.

For me we need a level of both. Perfect example yesterday was when the Hull player was down early on and Moore told us to stop playing. GM would have told us to play of (Sadlier v Peterborough for example). Moore is clearly a great guy but just sometimes wish he’d get a ruthless side to him to kill teams off rather than trying to be the nice guy all the time.

No not yesterday I don’t. The ref was clueless.  Most of them do not understand what a foul is or isn’t.

And later in the game when the ref told their player to go off for treatment McCann told the player to go down so they could get the sub ready, DM should have been into him reminding him of what we did earlier in the game. McCann only cares about himself, he didn’t care about Doncaster Rovers and he doesn’t care about Hull City, he was a nasty t**t as a player and he’s a nasty t**t as a manager!

The interview contained every excuse that popped into his head as to why the lost a 3-1 lead, he even alluded that the players didn’t play to his half time instructions and sat back, anyone who watched it knows that they sat back because of his instructions, Wilks was moved more central as a lone striker, thats the reason he was spent after an hour, and he goes and blames his players for that, I bet he hates the Burnsy interviews

Brentford are probably one of the most easy on the eye teams in the Championship but even they put it about .

Last Sunday's game against ourselves brought that home , how Toney stayed on the field was a mystery and the lad Dasilva is a real nasty piece of work for all his talent .

You've to earn the right physically to play your football against the Cardiff's , Millwall , Boro , Preston and Birmingham etc because these are the games you need to be picking up points from to survive in this mental league .

I've seen the transformation from Daniel Stendel's young green horned group up from league one thinking they could football their way to results and they were eaten alive .

This lot of ours today are  big , strong and physical , it's not the greatest football I've ever seen but it ain't half effective and comes in on budget .

They can play don't get me wrong but the physical side has to be won first and foremost before the game opens up .

It has to be this way because there's very little between the sides in the championship as the results confirm every week .

I am sure he would have been celebrating wildly had his Team hung on - including towwards the Camera where he knew we would all be

Fortunately we didnt get to find out for sure as they did what teams with a lead seem to do drop deeper and deeper until the Ref gives his 1000th free kick (of the game) for a nowt offence and (watch this McCann) bang top corner or more pedantically the top of the top corner.

Cue wild celebrations for half of the people watching in Ifollow - and the Players Staff et al of Doncaster Rovers

Pathetic really.

Pathethic given we think we should have had 2 or 3 Penalties. 2 of them were Penalties for sure and were not given

The Ref gave Hull a soft Free Kick that immediately led to a goal to them and I was not too sure about the foul given for our equaliser

Those 2 were amongst a number of soft fouls given for and against both sides

If the Ref sees them as fouls then he should act on totting up but one Hull player despite being talked at by the Ref after about 20 minutes then did an equal if not more serious "one for the Team / break up play" - you know the kind and was not Carded

He went on to be a serial fouler and yet did not see a Yellow Card till round the 80th minute

So I agree the Ref was rubbish - and I marked him 0 on rate the Ref with only 60 minutes on the Clock but do I think Hull got the worst of his judgements ? Absolutely NO WAY

Or maybe he has respect for the person who was his manager when we nearly reached Wembley and who played him far more than the next manager to come along.

Just because fans have decided Mcanns departure leaves a sour taste doesn’t mean the players and staff he worked with didn’t like him.

Having listened to McCann’s version of the lengthy injury near the end of the game, he was insinuating that Lokilo had his arm raised and somehow was at fault for Honeyman being put in a neck brace! Unbelievable. I’ve watched the slomo back and, if anything, the Hull 23 caused the collision by forcing Jason into Honeyman, who just stood there and blocked him. Any arm that was ‘raised’ was done instinctively to cushion his fall. He claims they had an iPad down on the bench and there was sufficient time to study it, so why come up with some arbitrary theory about possible thuggery? I’ll warrant Jason has all on making 10 stone, wet through, with a diving suit on. The man should send an immediate apology for even suggesting such a thing - but then, he’s never wrong, is he?
Complete asshole.

I thought much the same as you about this Alan.
McCann was pathetic in most of the stuff he said in that interview.

Alan: Ive just learned a new word. I'm trying, (trying!) to learn Spanish. I have started on a few swear words. The word you mentioned, in regard to a certain manager unable to see what is in front of his eyes, is 'ojete'. A very useful word.... All letters are pronounced by the way. No silent letters. So 'o jet e' (the 'jet' is pronounced with a soft j so it sounds like an 'h' as in 'hay'. The 'e' is prounced like like 'hay').

Just saw McCann on Quest saying they didn’t get the rub of the green from the ref.

Pathetic really.

Pathethic given we think we should have had 2 or 3 Penalties. 2 of them were Penalties for sure and were not given

The Ref gave Hull a soft Free Kick that immediately led to a goal to them and I was not too sure about the foul given for our equaliser

Those 2 were amongst a number of soft fouls given for and against both sides

If the Ref sees them as fouls then he should act on totting up but one Hull player despite being talked at by the Ref after about 20 minutes then did an equal if not more serious "one for the Team / break up play" - you know the kind and was not Carded

He went on to be a serial fouler and yet did not see a Yellow Card till round the 80th minute

So I agree the Ref was rubbish - and I marked him 0 on rate the Ref with only 60 minutes on the Clock but do I think Hull got the worst of his judgements ? Absolutely NO WAY

The foul for Hull’s first goal. Just watched it again. Crazy. I thought Honeyman was taking another knee.

Muchas gracias Bob. I agree ojete sounds better than asshole, but that just means he’s still what I called him due to him being what you called him.

In that case, Bob, you'll agree that McCann is a right CONYO. Actually, it should be spelled with a ~ above the N instead of the Y, but I don't know how to do it on the keyboard.

Steve

Shift+control+~ and then the letter. If you keep hold of the shift key you get a capital. If you let go, you get lower case.

The acute accent is AltG+any vowel and the upside down question mark is control+alt+shift+question mark

Cheers!


PS. I can't remember if these work but I've got a note that the question mark is also alt191. The ~ is alt164 and the accent is alt165.

Mind you, my writing is so goddamn awful these days it's hard to read my own notes!

Pointless piece of info but if you want the euro sign € it's AltGr + 4.

Janso, that might be a useful bit of info if ever people are allowed to go on foreign holidays again.

Perhaps, just perhaps, JC is taking the proverbial.

I don't think so. Copps is not only a fantastic footballer, he's a fantastic human being as well. I doubt if he'll have a bad word for anybody.

You make him sound like Mary Poppins.

Bob,
I accept I am not a player or connected to the club but I personally expressed my appreciation for his time at Donny directly to him.

 He was very appreciative of my comments but what really hurt him was the inaccurate and hurtful comments made by his replacements at the state the club was in and look where they left us.

Yes Alick. I too corresponded with SOD after he was removed to express my appreciation, my regret and my sorrow. I have a feeling you know that already though!
