There have certainly been times where we've been aggressive/dirty. See Storer vs Lincoln, Wright/Pell vs Grimsby, unfortunately for us we're just not as good at getting away with it!longmover wrote:I'd like to see CTFC more aggressive (dirty? maybe), we've been too nice since 1999 and much to our detriment. a little bit more agro wouldn't go a miss.
Typical Evans performance. Every game I have seen him manage whether Boston, Crawley pm Rotherham or whoever, the behaviour is the same. Not a manager I would ever want at my club.Swolley wrote:All big decisions were spot on. The only thing he got wrong was that Raynor should have been sent to the stands with Johnson. Neither side can complain about reds or the penalty.
It's interesting how fans of both sides are so adamant that the other side was so dirty. I'd consider myself to be a fair minded, typical lower league fan and Cheltenham were the dirtiest side I've seen in a long time with all the diving, time wasting and fouling, but I hear Robins fans saying similar things about us. Maybe it was just one of those games as I'm sure neither side is normally like that.
It's the way he is mate. We've had to accept that we have to put up with his antics and mind games as that's the price for success with him.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Typical Evans performance.

We see it every weekend in the Prem. Mourinho, Conte, etc. are constantly in the 4th official's ear and contesting every decision. Ferguson was the same. Evans normally speaks very respectfully in interviews, but turns into Sir Alex Mourinho on matchday. I was a bit surprised at Gary Johnson too. Didn't think he was like that.Shade wrote:Nobody should have to accept his antics. There should be no place for that behaviour in the professional game.
No thanks. That’s not the sort of club I want to support.longmover wrote:I'd like to see CTFC more aggressive (dirty? maybe), we've been too nice since 1999 and much to our detriment. a little bit more agro wouldn't go a miss.
Justifying his actions? Is that what you think I'm doing? I know you're all emotional right now, but I suggest you read back my posts and you'll see I've only been critical of Evans and Raynor.Shade wrote:Like what? Having a word with your player for getting ours sent off by running into his stationary arm? Any manager would do that. And he shouldn't have done it, but I'm sure at least 75% of us would shove the vile Raynor if he got in our faces, especially somewhere that he shouldn't even be.
Yes, you always see managers in the 4th officials ears. Ours do, the opposition do, every week, but you certainly do not see managers, in the Prem or elsewhere, jumping around and throwing strops like Evans and Raynor do. Pardew is probably the only manager who did stuff like that when he was at Newcastle, and he spent more games in the stands than stood in his technical area.
Rose ran into his elbow? Please. The lad swung out at him caught him in the face. He didn't even jump so no excuse. I was sat right in front of him so try to get past your bias and accept that some people had a better view than you. Did you even go? If you did you'll know that it's not just Johnson's aggression towards our player and unnecessary push of Raynor that I take exception to. The tactics employed were a disgrace at times - telling your players to waste time at ever stoppage until they got booked for it, allowing his players to roll around and stay down for 5 minutes because of a lip injury, pumping his fist at our fans when you scored, etc, etc. I said he's not usually like that and i was surprised, but don't defend him. He and his players should be thoroughly embarrassed at the way they conducted themselves.Shade wrote:Like what?

Already acknowledged in a different thread. A thread that has been deemed pointless and unnecessary. So your post must be doubly so. Tara.Swolley wrote:You'll all be happy to learn that Evans masterminded an away victory at Morecambe today. 94th minute winner.
