Don’t think he will even last that long.He seems like a prick to me.
Predict he will be sacked within 12 months.
If the managers should have the skill set to handle awkward questions surely the professional sports journalists should have the skill set to ask interesting, relevant football-based questions when faced with recalcitrance or even work the behaviour aspect in subtly.We run the risk of brow-beating the interviewers (rather than the interviewees) into asking a series of bland questions in order to avoid 'confrontation'.
So easy when you put it like thatIf the managers should have the skill set to handle awkward questions surely the professional sports journalists should have the skill set to ask interesting, relevant football-based questions when faced with recalcitrance or even work the behaviour aspect in subtly.
Fans want to hear about the game, how the manager read the game, what he did to help his players, how the players applied the tactics, overcome set backs etc. etc.
Focus on the football, not the furore.
Anyway, I've said my piece.
Ooft. Incoming.See Gerrard’s midweek interview
Interviewer straight in about Patterson
”I’m surprised that’s your first question...”
About time people put our scum media in their place.
The irony of calling the managers self important, that label more appropriate to our journos.
Learn to use you’re correctly, you’re a grown man.... lolYe pathetic interview, just answer the question, your a grown man.
He came across as a c*nt because he refused to play the part of Aunt Sally in a pathetic soap-opera?
Perhaps if more managers adopted Alexander's 'c*nty' behaviour we'd hear less of the nonsense.
You really prefer the Chick Young school of heh-heh-heh journalism?
Makes a complete cvnt of himself and looks like a homeless mentally challenged jakey!His interview is an embarrassment

The team & management certainly made everyone connected with the club proud today. https://t.co/dYcttPfv6P
Who made it the talking point?the journalist asked him about it. Shut it down; move the interview on. That's all he had to do. Instead, he's become the talking point himself, which is ironically what he was arguing against.
Who made it the talking point?
Who sees Scottish football as a soap opera?
I’m not defending him, I’m defending his right to refuse to encourage the trivialisation of the game for the promotion of nonsense.
Hi arseyness against us is your reason for siding with the BBC?
Who’s our bigger foe?
No problem sirLearn to use you’re correctly, you’re a grown man.... lol
Tongue in cheek of course mate, I personally agree with his approach.
I’ve already addressed the shutting it down aspect and it wouldn’t have been left at one question, would it?Nope, the point about him acting a dick against us was an appendix.
The bloke had been in trouble over the past couple of games. He was then sent off again. It was a valid question to ask, given it had just transpired. A good manager shuts it down and moves on; instead, he tried to act the c*nt and has now made a sideshow of himself. You can agree or disagree with what he said, but it's inarguable that he has now become the talking point.
You talk about trivilisation of the game - that is something I'll agree with you with when it comes to the Scottish media. But not in this instance.
I don't think I've ever read a thread on FF where one man has been labelled with so many different names for reproductive organs!!Tried to be smart and just came across as a bit of a fanny.

Look. We played well.The guy is a fckin bellend.
The dude got an alternate log in?You tell them mate. We should be revoking the press credentials of whatever imbecile asked that question immediately... Clearly a bitter Celtic fan who was raging the bears were successful again in Europe.
