[Archived] The Gary Bowyer Thread

[Parsonblue]

I don't think Chaddy is capable of snarling and bitching to be fair. Maybe a bit of a swipe at another, but when you've got folk dissecting every syllable of his posts it's probably little wonder he got hacked off.

Sadly, K-Hod that is what this forum has become in recent times. There was a time when all views were accepted and discussed in a civilised manner but sadly no more. If you don't have the same view as the pack you are hounded over every post. I was going to pack the whole thing up and leave BRFCS for good. But then I came to the view that why should I be hounded off a board I have enjoyed for many years because of a small clique. Now I'm able to laugh at the stick that comes my way. Indeed, it actually encourages me to post more to get a different point of view across. If folk don't want to read viewpoints different from their own they don't need to as they can just use the ignore facility. Nobody is forced to read chaddy's or any other posts if they don't want. Strange that folk who seem to dislike his posts with a vengeance insist on reading them and commenting on them.

I don't think chaddy has been hounded. He got queried on his opinions and snapped at Jal. Tbf Parson, you and a good few others conveniently ignore civil replies where people legitimately question your opinion/try and get involved in debate incl a good few from me, only to then reply to these posts that you're apparently so against.

Blueboy is one of the only people with a similar opinion to you who legitimately attempts to engage in debate at the moment. Instead of actually responding to differing opinions that would help contribute to the forum, you ignore them and pop up with a post like this every couple of days, complaining about the quality of posts... Perhaps this messageboard is becoming tedious indeed.

[T J Hooker]

But in chaddys case(and one ore two others tbf) they quite occasionally cross the line between having a different view and being delusional.

[K-Hod]

Tbf, he praised how Bowyer's tactics/changes had us playing well for 30 mins in total. He conveniently forgot the 60 minutes where we weren't great shapes nor the fact that Bowyer switched Marshall back to a position where he was uncomfortable/poor after praising the 10 minute spell where he was played in a position that worked.

Jal merely pointed out a game is 90 minutes. It's inconsistent to lavish praise on Bowyer for making the changes that saw us play well for a brief period and yet carefully omit the part where he made the wrong changes, had us not playing well and got the formation wrong.

If Bowyer can only get it right for 1/3 of the game, that's a cause for concern in my eyes, not a cause for celebration.

I just get a bit fed up with people dissecting Chaddy's posts to the nth degree, then trying to catch him out when he reacts or says something they don't agree with, it's really embarrassing. I accept that nobody is perfect on here (myself included), but if you really don't like people's posts then the simple solution is not to read them.

There's a lovely ignore function that people say they are going to use, but ironically then don't. So much winding up goes on it's ridiculous. People read what they want to rather than what is actually said from a lot of posters and over-react in kind.

There seems to be only one extreme or the other for some people, no possible grey areas. Why people can't get this idea of things not being black or white through their head, I don't know.

I think there is a line. Whilst I was questioning chaddy, there was no ulterior motive but to compare notes on the game and perhaps give him an insight into why I look less favourably on Bowyer. I am sure there are some who question him in a much different manner.

I do think it's frustrating however, that chaddy and a good few others respond to those that they know are winding them up, yet conveniently ignore more pertinent questions.

Under Bowyer, we often start well for the first 20 mins until the opposition manager works it out and makes a subtle change.

Sounds like our pre-season tactics of 4-2-3-1 went out the window after 30 mins and we reverted back to the tried and tested (and failed) 4-4-2.

We have good respectful discussion between us about the game and Bowyer. No pointless comments and sly digs from us.

If I miss a post by you to myself then my apologises. You can always PM about it. I will reply.

Oj, he swapped Marshall on to the wing and Delfouneso into the 10 role after about 35 mins or ish.

Mustard, I did explain why I think Bowyer change Marshall back into the number 10 role.

I also felt with Koita he change the game for us abit being his hold play and having a couple of long range shots.

I will add that I do Ignored some members who dont discuss the topic of the thread but just make personal and sly comments consisently and I WILL continue to IGNORED them.

Thing is he gives it and then goes off and the posse cry bullying when he's given it back

[danger19_80]

Anyone noticed GB has shown up on SSN two days in a row now, for no real obvious reason? Just on now chatting about our chances in the League Cup.

Have we ingratiated ourselves to them all of a sudden?

[RevidgeBlue]

Perhaps he's taken notice of comments about, or been advised about, the PR needing to improve.

Perhaps he's also noticed that central midfield has been our main weakness for the past couple of seasons and has decided to do something about it.

Perhaps the new signings will hardly ever start and we'll have an unused pool of eight central midfielders to choose from. Who knows?

[danger19_80]

Looked like both pieces were taken from his press conference though which is presumably filmed anyway? Seemed more like them suddenly giving us more airtime for some reason.

Paragraph 3, is the most likely one.

Hopefully they'll offer him a job and he'll leave. He is a charismatic guy after all.

GB OUT CLUELESS IDIOT WITH SHOCKING TACTICS WHAT THE HELL DOES HE DO ON THE BLOODY TRAINING GROUND

Looks like he's had a few 'Garys' in that photo....

[Mr. E]

Nothing to discuss anymore, anyone who is OK with Bowyer might as well be OK with Kean and Venkys. Everything Bowyer related is a poison to the club and needs removing.

[frosty]

If any one-off game proved Bowyer has learnt nothing (and never will), then it's tonight.

[broadsword]

Is it too early for a Jimbo relegation thread special?

From my point of view, it's just a question of how much damage Bowyer is going to do before he gets levered out or walks.

or will he stubbornly resist and still be here in March as we battle relegation?

We're definitely going to be lower table, it sounds like Bowyer still doesn't really know how to knit an effective team together. No coherent transfer strategy, dozens of players signed but no idea of a first-choice 11, one decent striker gone, another with one foot out of the door. A hodge-podge of misfits and no-hopers left.

Looks good, doesn't it?

[K-Hod]

The guy hasn't got a clue, and never will. Absolutely useless. Quite why he wouldn't bring Rhodes on when we need a goal I don't know. (Other than to stop him being cup tied obvs).

And guess what, we didn't score! Rubbish, absolute rubbish.

When was the last time we bothered having a go in the league cup??

That's defeats to Carlisle, Scunthorpe and now Shrewsbury to add to this roll call of shame. Embarrassing.

Thank God Burnley lost as well.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

You brought the much lauded stability Gazza but before the fans really turn on you do the decent thing fella!

[DE.]

Got a 3000% mark up on Gestede though.

[LDRover]

Gaz has been given free reign to appoint his own men throughout the club SG, aided and abetted by the despicable Shaw.

He's going nowhere soon.
