Kinnear goes ballistic

[DRINK?]

brilliant.... what's next

You had to stand at the front of the assembly cos you pissed your pants during Kumbaya ? You've got Gola football boots? You put your jumper on inside out like a spazoid. And you had to do gym in your pants and vest, then got a reccy in the showers......I await the continued brilliance

 

[tarannau]

I'm not quite sure what that means Drink. You should stick to the familiar ground of blind hero worship and felching Ferguson, you glory hunting numpty.

Now, remind me why you're on this thread again?

"a reccy" ????

 

[Artie Fufkin]

nah, what's funny is that a bunch of journalists are arguing with an experienced football manager about what is best for the club.

I like Kinnear, seems like a decent bloke but I still think he'd be better off putting his energy into sorting out stuff on the training ground rather than wasting it on fuckwits in the press. Getting results is the only solution.

I couldn't see Wenger, O Neil, Fergie, etc. coming in and watching a shower of shit lose to Blackburn then go "see you lads Tuesday, have a nice couple of days off, I'm sure it will get better" (i'm only guessing here that they didn't train on Sunday either). Not much of a start...I could be wrong of course

I think he must have been a public schoolboy, in Surrey or something.

TBH. I don't think a day's training makes fuck all difference to a team as much in the shit as Newcastle. If a team's depressed and disjointed, forcing them to run a few extra laps ain't going to improve their performance. It's about morale rather than repetition to a large extent, and they had until next Sunday for a game.

And to be fair, Kinnear's reasons seemed sound enough - he wanted to discuss the game with the present training staff before he came in and played the gobshite and made recommendations. I don't think it's particularly consequential either way.

Man U fan. Public school. Surrey.

Nah. couldn't be...

I'm dying to know what a reccy is! Is that rat-tails things with wet towels? *memories*

 

[tarannau]

It's great isn't it. Short of pulling his trousers down and drawing a penis on his forehead, he couldn't have managed a better feat of self exposure.

He came on this thread to have a pop and got self pwned. More's the pity.

 

[lights.out.london]

S' a shame. I'd like to see a strong team in the north east and I've always had a good time at Newcastle on away days. It's painful to watch. Being a Celtic fan in the 80s wasn't fun, but NUFC have gone further.

self pwned..quality stuff....it keeps coming

 

[tarannau]

Well there's one team in the NE that seems to be making consistent progress, playing attractive football in the main with a young, developing team and manager.

Unfortunately that team's Middlesboro. And they play in the fuckawful Riverside.

What's a reccy? Dying to know.

 

[tarannau]

Nice comeback. Sharp.

What does 'reccy' mean? Are you a public schoolboy? From Surrey?

So many questions, so little time.

 

[DRINK?]

not from Surrey though interestingly did go to prep school in Manchester...

a reccy is a term for erection, commonly used as kids....something I would have thought you would have been au fait with considering the masterfully constructed whacking off over Sir Alex

anyway back to the Utd hating....keeps me amused

 

[lights.out.london]

Er. A hard-on. Lmao. Must've been a public school thing. You'd have died at my school for something like that.

The only trouble with Fergie is he's a Rangers man.

 

[DRINK?]

Reccy, woody, stiffy, hard on....all commonly used

must of heard of pre brekkie reccy?

 

[lights.out.london]

Heard of the others, just not 'reccy'.

lol @ pre brekkie reccy

 

[Diamond]

fair play to him. can't make it worse. and that opening was classic.

The ending was even better:

Journalist Enjoyed getting back in the swing of things?

JK Absolutely. I've loved every moment of it.

 

[kabbes]

Do you reckon that in the cold light of day he regrets it or do you think he still reads it and says, "yep, that's exactly how I wanted it to go."

 

[kained&able]

reccy is military slang for recconesonce mission innit?

[Sadken]

That's my favourite press conference ever!

"Who's from the Mirror?"

"Me"

"You're a cunt"

You can't buy this kind of pathos.

 

[skyscraper101]

I love the fact he's got to watch the first game from the stands as he's still serving a two-match ban from the touchline from an incident managing Nottingham Forest!

 

[Flashman]

Chapeau Kinnear, great rant.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I love the fact he's got to watch the first game from the stands as he's still serving a two-match ban from the touchline from an incident managing Nottingham Forest!

And he still gets payed £50,000 each fucking game.

 

[Sadken]

Apparently he had completely forgotten about it as well!

 

[Balbi]

You must be turning backflips

 

[tarannau]

Yeah, I mean nobody at Newcastle ever gets paid shitloads more for not playing do they?

Kinnear was more animated in that press conference than Nicky Butt's managed in 3 games.

 

[asbestos]

I like Joe.

isn't he ex-Man Utd player

maybe Drink? is right about your obsession

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Welcome to the world of Big Fat Joe.

I loved Kinnear's outburst, absolutely classic. Nice for the journos to get a taste of their own medicine for a change. "You're a cunt" - hahaha!

When Big Fat Joe was our manager at Luton it was always entertaining. Example: we'd be playing Plymouth on the Saturday and a typical interview would go something like this:

Journo: So, what do you think about Plymouth then Joe?

BFJ: Plymouth? Isn't that where people go to die?


BFJ's siege mentality approach certainly worked. We tonked everyone in the division, scored 100 goals, went on a 14 game winning run and finished second with 98 points, which in any other season would have won us the title. (Plymouth pipped us by a few points.)

Everyone in the division hated us though. BFJ slagged off most of the other teams and we got threatened at games all over the country, from Kidderminster to Swansea, because we were larging it.

But it was great fun.

Good luck Joe!
