Gus playing to the crowd in the West Stand

[Icy Gull]

I used to be amused and quite enjoy this but recently it's started to grate. Sarcastically clapping the ref for giving us a decision, holding his arms out and pulling faces to the stand when a decision goes against us when we are a goal down, earbending the 4th official and generally behaving a bit like a spoilt kid who's had his ball nicked. He also comes across as a bit mental sometimes with his rants. I know he's a fan at heart so maybe I'm being harsh.

I have been the 1st to criticise past managers who look like they don't care, standing or sitting with arms crossed and showing no emotion but I think he needs to reign it in at the moment. I imagine that sub consciously, at least, refs think "f*** him" and don't give us decisions that they might otherwise have done.

Thoughts?

 

[Sheebo]

You're being too negative. We're all frustrated so little things are annoying us more than before?

Why don't penguins feet freeze ?

Quite possibly Sheebo

I generally behave in a similar fashion in east stand upper. Although I have no access to the 4th official sadly. So it's probably best I don't comment.

Can help but agree. Fine when your winning, but when your losing it makes him look a fool.

 

[algie]

Another moan yawn.

I wouldn't want Gus to change his ways as it wouldn't be him.

Why have you not mentioned chuckling to himself and making a 'zip my mouth' gesture when we were given a throw we shouldn't have in the second half? Perhaps it doesn't fit your argument? I think the guy is just an expressive and entertaining extrovert. I quite often look across to the dugout at times just to see his reactions and they are usually quality entertainment. He's been like it since his first game as our manager and I for one love him for it

Agree!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I hate seeing our manager care that much.

Fair comment.

Not really a moan, I just wonder if it doesn't actually help our cause. I accept that it's part of his charisma and nature, which is why I finished with "thoughts"? Thanks for yours

 

[Safeway]

Concentrating on winning the game > f***ing about waving arms around

 

[Hillian1]

I actually don't see any of it, I am assuming that all the time Gus is doing this I am probably directing my own tirades at referees or fallen down fatally wounded opposition players and such like.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Yeah quite. He should concentrate on making them win the game rather than f***ing about. When will he learn?

 

[Mr Burns]

I dont think it helps at all. Especially the sacaric clapping of the ref,

But then if he's blaming everything on the referee, his sheep on here will then post threads about how shit the ref was and how it cost us, rather than asking why the f*** we played so narrow against a team that camped in their own half.

Quite clever from Gus really, when you think about it.

It worked at the weekend. Someone on here dug out an article from five years ago about Gus having a row with Andy D'Urso and hey presto, blame averted. The bloke should be a politician.

I just want him to sit down, shut the f*** up and start replacing the turds on the pitch with the jewels on the bench.

I assume he would need to write down his instructions to the substitutes if he is no longer speaking?

I literally LOVE this.
