snakehips 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The winner gets a bottle of Sweetheart Stout (do they still make it??) What excuses will our illustrious manager make tonight then? I'll go for: ' the first goal was off-side and we were chasing the game after that dreadful decision by the officials.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Excuses are a given naturally, but the most likely thing to hear is: The players gave everything, worked hard and we just need a bit of luck and those attacking players to open the door, etc. etc. When what we need is somebody who doesn't dismantle a squad, take out all the creativity and goals and has some semblance of understanding of tactics, formations and basically isn't a prick!

Pilchard Chops 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 We were second best in every challenge, particularly in first 90 minutes and it was a really disappointing performance. Some days you can find no excuses and this was one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Chops 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Although the EU has no power to prevent the creation of super league, it can, nonetheless, intervene if the television rights attached to it were clearly in breach of EU competition or other single market laws. and thats all I have to say Sam can think what he likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Chops 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Do not blame teammates,referees, coaches, fans, or the position of the moon for your performance. Take responsibility for what happens on the field. Stand up, make no excuses, refuse the excuses that others might offer you. Excuses get in the way of learning because mistakes are denied. Be accountable. Remember you are not expected to be a perfect performer. No one is. Football is not an easy game to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I was particularly fond of Souness' comment that on Saturday we had a team of 'honest' players. What the fuck has honesty got to do with it? 17633[/snapback] They're probably the same as "Proper" players, it basically means no flair or creativity but work hard and tackle and haven't (yet) had their manager fall out with them!

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 It'll be something along the lines of Souness' classic hard luck story that he likes so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordster 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) Ladies...tonights excuse is.......drum roll....................................... LADY LUCK! GRAEME Souness was once again left bemoaning the lack of a cutting edge in his team following Wednesday's 2-0 defeat by Bolton at the Reebok Stadium. Trotters goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen hardly had a save to make all night as goals from El Hadji Diouf and Stelios gave Bolton their first win of the season. Souness told Newcastle World TV: "We started the game well enough, and matched them with he battling qualities that you have to show when you come here. "They got the goal just before half time, but there was nothing between the two teams before that point. "The second goal killed us. Having looked at the replay for ther second goal it was offside. "That's how your luck goes sometimes, it was a good time for them but it was a bad time for us. "They haven't caused us too many problems. They launched a lot of balls into the box which you have to be big and strong to deal with. "We did for the largest part, but the one just before half time, obviously we didn't deal with. "The second goal was a killer. At 1-0 we are still in the game, but the second goal killed us off. "We've not scored a goal in the Premiership yet, but we know where we need to strengthen." Souness and his team must now dust the,se;ves down in time for Sunday's visit of Manchester United, and the manager says he can't wait for that match. "Hopefully Emre and Kieron will be fit for Sunday against Manchester United," he added. "It is a big big game for us. "The next game cannot come quick enough. "Being turned over hjere (at Bolton) is never a nice feeling. We just didnt have the cutting edge but that is something we are trying to address. "The fans were behind the team tonight, and as always we can never argue with the kind of support we get from the fans. "Its time to roll our sleeves up. We need to have a real go and make sure in the next ganme we come out throwing punches.".
