Martinez new Belgium head coach

[roydo]

Know him personally do you?

No.

Know every single player manager and owner you have made a comment about?

 

[Kev The Rat]

We wernt saying that in his first season.

He has a fatal flaw. Almost autistic in his approach in a way. But a decent bloke. Measured in the confines of the football world.

The man was prepared to sacrifice the club at the altar of an obscure footballing religion, the principles and objectives of which were lost on the players and the fans, and to be honest I doubt if he even knew what he was propagating himself.

Like I said then.

Not sure it was autistic. Snake oil salesmen don't know exactly what it is they are selling. Let's not forget he became a very rich man at our expense. In my opinion he was arrogant stubborn and shameless. None of those qualities are in any way positive.

Come to think of it I'm not surprised kenwright liked him as they have similar traits

No.

No, but I usually preface personal opinion on a persons (who I've never met)character with "he comes across as..." or "he appears..." etc

There's no easy games in international football.

Apart from all the easy ones against part time plumbers and teachers

Said almost autistic like. From experience. But he aint our problem now.

Was passing a comment on a bloke in the public eye.

It's not an obscure footballing religion mate. I believe passing to feet has been pretty well established in football teams for quite some time now.

He has a fatal flaw of being a really crap manager

...and I merely asked if you knew him personally because you sounded like you did

If it was a genuine question to me, "do you know him personally?", then I apologise, unreservedly.

But it came across in the internet world as a sarky dig.

Spot on, the scene is set

Should of lied and said you did

Like the time I put on a fake New Zealand accent on a night out and convinced a drunk bird I knew Flight of the Concords

if you put on a fake accent, does that return you to your normal accent?
