Well done Bobby

[homerdog]

What a load of bollocks! If that's the worse they can come up with against Bobby, it shows how desperate they are to see us fail. Wankers, the lot of them!

There are better, classier ways to make a point than running around waving cards like some bloke on the Kippax.

I agree.....

Agreeing with Dismal that Bob is short of class is a big mistake - edit

as you see he has now added "poor judgement" and "hypocrisy" to the list - Bobby will be condemend as "a bit thick" before long - mark my words

Get you use to it.... you don't get a trophy for having a classier ways

 

[Gary James]

I don't like it. Partly because I want City to be perceived at worthy, glorious champions (if we do it of course), not...

Not a chance! City will be perceived as 'buying the title' and viewed with that level of negativity regardless. Again, comparisons with others should be made, but they won't and the perception will be a negative one focusing on money (even though others have bought success).

It's whinging, yes. But where's the cheating? The only cheat i saw was Figueroa.

Maybe not the best phrase. But if the theory presented that he's doing it on purpose to get into referee's heads is true, then that's cheating. Or at least attempting to influence.

You know what I mean. I don't want us to be like that, I want City to win with dignity.

I may be in a minority, but I wish he'd stop doing it, it achieves nothing but attract bad publicity.
I'm also not interested in the "but Rooney does it" or "Ferguson taps his watch" arguments, let those classless bastards do what they want, I'd prefer to see a serene, calm Mancini rising above all that.

The truth is he can't win, if he gets all fired up and brandishes the imaginary card he's classless, if he sits calmly and doesn't get up and down every 2 minutes he's lacking passion ?, the bottom line is "they" are making a meal of it because it's RM, who gives a stuff we won and secured the three points , personally I don't care if the managers are naked and doing cart wheels up and down the touch line.

It's when he starts waving an imaginary dead fish wrapped in newspaper that you should start worrying!


Ask Luca Brasi!

I think he should stop waving imaginary cards and actually have a couple in his pocket and produce them each time he feels their is an infringement against us.

Perhaps he could start flagging for offside and put an imaginary whistle to his mouth to indicate when the match should finish.

Lastly I suggest he gets a watch so he can decide how much time should be added on.

The trouble is that I can't remember another manager doing that this season, and now it's twice in just over a week. I can forgive the first one because you could say it's a cultural thing but as a manager he should at least have learned from the negative press the first one brought. I love the guy but that's an error that the press will pick up on. As far as I can see, the press have been consistent, brandishing imaginary cards (by players and staff alike) is always reported on.

Bollocks.

They didn't report on Liverpool players trying to get Balotelli sent off. They wouldn't have reported on Rooney, Carrick, Jones trying to get Kompany sent off. They didn't even report on Milner trying to get Johnson sent off the other week.

They don't report on managers every game disputing decisions with the 4th official.

I'd rather it wasn't done, but I'd rather the refs made the correct decisions in the first place, and if one is going to be criticised for it everyone should be.

Personally I hop Bobby keeps doing it. It's a kind of slap in the face of officials cos they are inconsistent and they need as nothing else will be done.

I love the card waving, its so f&cking innocent and just shows passion. Anyone saying "please stop him its embarrassing" or "he should apologise" or all the other pussy reasons, you all need to shut the f*ck up cos this is football, its passionate and a lot of our players are international so they will all bring their attributes the game like Bobby does with his management.

Stop being so conservative, otherwise flick to the other channel and watch the gentleman's cricket.

Just focus on the game and the thrill during the match. Bobby is just part of the thrill!

I'd like to believe he knows what he doing with it, Pidge, but in my heart of hearts I don't.

He gets flustered under pressure, we've seen it before. It worries me. He's looked rattled this last few weeks as our form has dipped. This is just an extension of this. To be fair to him he's under immense pressure to deliver the title.

You were saying this at this exact time last season. 'Keegan-esque' is what I remember yet we pulled through and achieved our goals. There's a real feeling of injustice around the club at the moment and that's carried down to the team and manager. I'm sure once we're back playing to our best and he has the players back who he trusts we'll see the cool Bobby again.

There are better, classier ways to make a point than running around waving cards like some bloke on the Kippax. We need someone with a cool head over the next four months. He needs to set the example.

Please give it a rest, DD. We all know you have an anti-Mancini agenda. If he was to act cool like Sven all the time, the players would think he doesn't care and respond accordingly. He is showing his passionate nature without getting himself banned to the stands like other managers have been. I agree with the poster who reckons we should give him a set of red and yellow cards to wave at the fourth official rather than imaginary ones. After all, the fourth official has bugger-all influence on the game, unlike the referee who has to endure pressure from the players on the pitch.
