Collymore LOSES it

[Easy 10]

Not Stans biggest fan. But I think the problem he has with the press is to do with the selective editing reporting of the press conference.


The media have edited the clip too make it look like Pep doesn't know who Stan is. when it's more of a misunderstanding between Pep and the questioner

Yup, the response was edited. Stanloi clearly just HATED the thought of people having a chuckle at his expense, hence his sweary hissy fit on Twitter last night (much of which he has since deleted), followed by his rant in the Mirror today. Sorry, not rant, he was having a right old belly laugh apparently, as he hammered out a dozen paragraphs DESPERATELY seeking to justify his existence to Pep, and everyone who laughed.

"I scored against Newcastle in 1996 you know"

The bloke is a weapons grade bellcheese.

 

[Rod Marsh]

I didn't understand this reference either as he wasn't in either team. Clough had left before he signed for them too.

He was voted into the Forest best ever starting 11 by the fans recently. He was referring to that I believe.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

He seems to rate himself.

By the way- the quiz question he set in the middle of that.

Who would be Nottingham Forest’s greatest 11 ?

The team that won the title or the European cup winners... twice?

The greatest 11 that he alludes to is from the results of an official Forest fan's poll, not a specific 11 that were in the same team at the same time,

Edit. Beat me to it ^^

 

[Soulman]

Stan mentions Robbie Fowler as a reference, according to Fowler's biog he could not stand the lazy brooding moody git.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Can't believe this bloke gets air time

 

[Wellesley]

Exactly. I embrace my own.

Who cares?

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Just need to take a moment to appreciate that phrase. Right up there with CJTC for me.

 

[pishhead]

Perhaps Stan can take him dogging to sort out their problems. Tony Warner ex Liverpool goalkeeper had a few decent stories about Stanley on the podcast that Jimmy Bullard co-hosts.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Collymore was a decent player in his day, but no more than that.

I fail to see why he'd be OFFENDED that a manager who's spent his entire career up until 2016 in Spain, the USA and Germany, might not have heard of him. Is he really that self-obsessed?

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

In short; 'Look at me!'

Completely delusional bellend.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Love it!

He's got a whiff of the old 'Don't you know who I am?" syndrome.

Probably more a case of "Don't you know who I was?"

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Huge amount of time for SC as a pundit, and very interesting wrt other issues. Not interested in his rant. Clearly he has been stitched up. Given his history of mental health issues, this looks like someone doing the modern day equivalent of 'baiting the retard'. And, oh how we laughed. . . .

 

[Wardy's twin]

Thought he did well in his coverage of the issues around England's travelling fans in France.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Love it!

He's got a whiff of the old 'Don't you know who I am?" syndrome.

Reminds me of the time I was working the doors on a club in Pompey.
Scott McGarvey came up worse for wear and I refused him entry.
He played the 'do you know who I am?' Card

I replied with 'yeah, you're the worst striker I've ever seen in my life'
The team mates he was with turned their backs and you could see their shoulders moving as they were laughing

Can't stand pundits who just come up with the bog standard foghorn everyman opinion for opinion's sake but who think they are really clever because "they aren't afraid to voice their opinion". Chris Sutton, Stan Collymore, Robbie Savage. None of them ever hold back from giving an opinion, but invariably there is nothing terribly insightful or coherent in their rants. You could probably put a random drunk who watched the match in the pub who could also hold an opinion and still make more sense and provide more insight than any of those 3.

Its directed at EVERYBODY, including Pep.



What a prize prawn.

Very unfair to Crustaceans!

Thanks for that, and there was me thinking I wasn't appreciated!

This. I don't mind a slice of SC, but you have to whisper it in these parts or the lynch mob will be after your hide. Let those without sin cast the...

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Ex-footballer turned pundit uses column to complain about fellow pundits and journalists, as opposed to ACTUALLY talking about football.

Par for the course these days, I'm afraid...

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Maybe Stan can slap Michael Owen again. We might then get a coherent sentence out of MO.
