Stubbs and the media - making a complete tit of himself again.

[H18 SFR]

Just heard a sound bite of Stubbs on the radio asking if the gathered media want him to laugh at a comment made by the Raith manager in relation to Stubbs hounding the match officials and Raith controlling the game. Why does Stubbs have to come across and act completely thick all the time. When will he learn to just keep his motormouth gob closed? Is this some honking approach to mind games?

Stubbs is a press conference warrior with no firepower on the park to back it up.

[WeeRussell]

Sorry, what?

Nonsense. Every manager, including the Raith one, 'hounds' match officials and with the standard of officiating as it is, they bloody well should be too.

RR have had plenty to say about our support and how we'll 'hound' the players if things don't start well tomorrow. Maybe a thread about them instead of having a pop at our own club

Who's the tit?

He had every right to do so with some utter disgracefully decisions from the officials. I take it you were happy with the decisions??

As for Stubbs sounding thick ha! You listened to the caveman recently.

This reeks btw!

I'm worried that Stubbs is being played by the media all too easily. His comments pre Morton at ER when he said it was between us and Rangers should have taught him a lesson, there should be no mind games needed in these matches against so called inferior teams, he should leave his talking until after the match.
Same goes with Cummings, they both need to start showing a little humility instead of firing up our opponents more than they already are.

[Smartie]

I read some of McKinnon's "cup of tea" comments and thought he had very cleverly laid a serious of mines for Stubbs to step on.

I've not heard what Stubbs has said but I'd be disappointed if he's chosen to jump on them all.

The comments about this game really don't matter.

More than ever the talking needs to be done on the pitch.

No excuses.

[Danderhall Hibs]

See when we win does McKinnon get slated for laying these "mines" and "doing our team talk" for us?

:faf:

The slating of absolute everything when our most important game in seasons is taking place tomorrow.

Fans, manager, ticket office, Dempster, Petrie top scorer, everything. I ken I've came accross as a bit of a sour puss who's concerned but there is a time and a place.

a little humility?? ha ****** ha!

This is site is swimming with everything thats wrong with our fan base.

[Sioux]

act completely thick

If you open your mouth, or type something , there's always the possibility of someone thinking you're thick and making a tit of yourself.:wink:

Only one tit in here and it's no Stubbs.

Why do we have the need to scrutinise anything we do??

Back the team and the manager until the seasons done, then you can all shout and scream as much as you like but now isn't the time.

if we were 1 fan down it would be much more of a blessing.

I have over 500 loyalty points, but I don't have to justify myself to you.

And I'm surprised at you Aldo tut tut.

Also, there's no 'h' in club.

[MWHIBBIES]

Oh **** off please, Stubbs can lick his own arm pit in the press conference for all I care, it isn't going to effect the result on Saturday. Just looking for more reasons to stick the boot in, pathetic.

Aye right, beat it.

Stubbs is quite right to throw a bomb or two McKinnons way.

When we pump them tomorrow, let's see if the press gang give us any credit.

I know the answer.

[Pete]

There is if you are a Celtic fan.

Or there is if you are a bigot from the other end of the scale who uses it in a derogatory fashion.

The media always twist words. Unless I hear him saying it live, I tend not to take little notice.

I'm fed up with some fans constantly picking holes in everything out manager says. Believe it or not but they are called press conferences. They have to do them - they have to answer questions. And it seems no matter what Stubbs says, his own so called supporters are DESPERATE to pick holes in it. I've read the interview. And mckinnons. McKinnon accused Stubbs of looking like a man under clear pressure on the touch line while he was sitting back supping tea. Stubbs said if there's no pressure, there's something wrong, and said if McKinnon was so calm why did the 4th official have to ask him to calm down. All decent answers to me. But you carry on looking for issues. Meanwhile I'll back the team.

Fully agree, especially at this time. GGTTH

I've read a few of McKinnon's comments over the course of this week - both before the game on Wednesday and after and I reckon he's got us worked out. He's quite measured in what he says, doesn't get as involve in inflammatory pish as Houston but I've been quite impressed by him.

What he says doesn't annoy me one way or the other although I am interested in how Stubbs responds/ reacts.

Basically he shouldn't get involved in criticising the ref too much, shouldn't criticise our players too much or give the Raith players any extra motivation. He needs to be neutral, avoid getting drawn into making silly comments and just say that the football needs to do the talking.

Unfortunately I don't really think this is his style and his willingness to jump in with two feet and make silly comments have mirrored the poor form we've had in the second half of this season.

I agree, :agree: But then your post yesterday calling Lewis Stevenson a "hun" with a soft spot for Raith and suggesting that these things affected his performance the other night would also come into that category, wouldn't it?


Lewis grew up a hun with a soft spot for Raith. One of our own? :confused:

A thread that started badly and descended into another witch hunt.
