Has Joe Kinnear lost it?

[CHAPPERS]

Reporter: There's no negative vibes or negative feelings here?
Strachan: Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive round here. I'm going to whack you over the head with a big stick, down negative man, down.



That never fails to make me piss myself.

I hope you've got a spare pair of trousers then.

Nappy mate. Wasn't born yesterday.

Reporter: You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon?
Strachan: I don't take stupid comments lightly either.

Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there...

I had trouble deciding who was in the wrong there, and swaying to and from Jokeinhere's side of the story.
So, like press articles and sound-bytes in general, there's no way to pin anything down without the whole story.

There HAS to be a bit of 'license' for the press to inject opinion, but not totally mis-quote or manipulate words - and there has to be a margin where the manager can accept the press's license with enough understanding between both parties to maintain a workable relationship.

I actually doubt that the press would deliberately misquote Kinnear and misquote him as saying "bollocks to Newcastle" on his first day! It's too weird, they don't need to place that sort of thing in there to sell papers, the Newcastle story has enough interest without barefaced lies in quotes.

There's something in the water-bottle at St. James Park

He sounds like a spiv, a knocker-boy, a market barrow-boy.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Qulaity read, bet that will get some of the Geordies on his side.

Just listened to the audio, is that not how we would all want to react if we dealt with tabloid journalists day in, day out.

Boy Jo has one big potty mouth.

 

[vitusvivi]

and when he had said it the journalist just goes: "Thankyou" haha what the hell!

 

[Spunk Bubble]

I dunno, will it be before or after we play Spurs?

You do realise we have played both before in the League:thud:

 

[Don Tmatter]

"Press officer Let's get on to football. Let's have an agreement that everything said so far, if anyone has got their tapes on, it's wiped off and we're not discussing it.

Journalist But that's what Joe has said he thinks of us.

Press officer I'm saying don't push it. Let's accept what's been said and try and move on.

Journalist: Move on to not doing any more press conferences?

PO: No, to doing something now.

Journalist: What, one press conference only?

(Silence)

Journalist: Any knocks?

PO: Come on, let's go football"

"Let's go football" - WTF, surprised he didn't call it soccerball. Typical Press Officer

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Lost it? He never had it anyway.

Has a nice little bit about Liam Brady after Brighton got beaten by Canvey Island below the headline Rob Smyth picks half a dozen of the best manager/media rows in this week's Joy of Six....

Press Officer: "What has been said in here is off the record and doesn't go outside."

Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?
Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there...

Strachan was on Sky on Sunday morning. He saw John Terry's goal and said he was impressed that Terry goes up expecting to score. He contrasted this to Claus Lundekvam the Saints central defender who goes up for every dead ball and never ever looks remotely like scoring. He said if there was a dead body lying in the penalty area the ball would hit it on the head several times a season which he said is more than Lundekvam can manage. He said referees should book Lundekvam for timewasting every time he goes up for a corner. When the co-commentator said if Lundekvam was watching Strachan was only joking. Strachan assured him he was deadly serious.

Great comments there from GS, made me cry with laughter

 

[Seasider78]

Best Strachan quote ever was

Reporter: So Gordon can we have a quick word
Strachan: 'Velocity' hows that for you

My my Joe! You used too many words there, or should I say repeated some choice words over and over again.

JK should have followed the example of a Brighton manager a few seasons ago, who took umbrage at what a local media man had said. The next game was at Ipswich, and the manager shook the media man warmly by the throat. He didn't waste words.
