Scott At The End

lets all get behind the boys because all of this cant be anygood for fans for players,

Right, I've read enough here so I'm going to have my say...

To clarify, I did not see what the fan initially said to Scott and I am fully aware that as a cross-section of society, some of our fans are complete idiots. However, Scott's rant was not brave, honourable or even accurate. It was extremely unprofessional and embarrassing for all involved with the football club. As said by a few, it makes us look like a pub side. Let's consider a few points...

Firstly, a manager in any post must be responsible and present themselves publicly in an admirable fashion. Scott came across like a thug not worthy of calling himself a manager. To think someone who acts like this is actually in charge of people is worrying.

Secondly, having witnessed this outburst I am extremely concerned about the man's ability to handle pressure. To be incapable of taking a little bit of criticism is bizarre for someone in his job. It makes me wonder how he will cope towards the end of the season (if he gets that far) when there is real pressure.

Thirdly, his comment about it not being 10 years ago is correct. While I applaud his grasp of time however, he followed this up with a comment about not having the money. After 5 matches 10 years ago we sat top of what is now the Championship. In this scenario we had much less money to spend than probably 22 of the other 23 teams in the division but did well. In this situation, we probably have more money to spend than about 20 out of the other 23 teams in the division so this argument does not stand up.

Basically, the whole thing was very, very embarrassing for the club. While people are idiots though, I appreciate them sticking with the club. I had to laugh today when I saw someone almost pulling his hair out because a Darlington player wasn't closed down 70 yards from goal in the 5th minute. But then, I understand that this man's frustrations are not 5 minutes old, they are 10 years old. This is something that perhaps our management team could do with understanding.

It is a good job that Shouty was not here for the 4-0 home defeat to Crewe. He may have had ALL the remaining fans giving him stick.    He needs to keep his distance (literally). He is one of the managers in a responsible position.

Today sets up similar potential confrontations at future games.  And with away fans who will bait him after hearing of what happened today.  It does not bode well for the Club or the team. Keep control.

The only thing that worries me is that he acknowledges the camera/phone, this should have been the point at which he should have just walked away to stop further embarrasment for himself and the club

Spectacular post!

There's only one Rob Scott!  A lot of town "fans" don't deserve a football club!

we should have kept Woodsy and built the team through the youngsters. We are copulated now.

The way Fenty's reign is going we may not have one much longer.
