who what?
Well maybe he’s actually shocked at the shit refs? Welcome to Scottish footballLooks like he’s got a problem with officials, see he was sent off again for arguing(assuming it’s with officials). He’s not been in charge long and already had 2 sending offs and couple of bookings for argument, as flash score puts it.
Correct, just say, next question and move on, instead of being a fanny, and I believe he was a bluenose, so no agenda from me.Acting like a c*nt there IMHO. Just say ‘I don’t want to discuss that’ and let it go.
If that had been Lemon we’d all have been slaughtering him. And rightly so.
Two red cards in four games I think it is. I’d suggest he needs to change his attitude somewhat.
agreedHe always came across as a bit of a c@ck on the Class Of 92 programme; well suited to Motherwell
I've no issue with it, Gerrard did similar not that long ago shutting down a reporter. Didn't keep repeating himself like Alexander did.
Not his biggest fan but surprised at the stick he's getting for this interview.I've no issue with it, Gerrard did similar not that long ago shutting down a reporter. Didn't keep repeating himself like Alexander did.
If he has been sent to the stands then it's a legitimate question to ask by the reporter. He is coming across as a fanny.I have no problem with his interview, he just shuts the reporter down and talks about his team.
Don’t think we would be giving any Rangers manager stick if they did it
Self important by not wanting to talk about himself and wanting to talk about 11-14 of his team Instead?You're the Motherwell manager not a cabinet minister facing Jeremy Paxman, stop being so self important you fukin arse piece.
Yes. By putting a spotlight on himself in the first place on the sidelines then acting arsey in the interview. The fact there is a thread on here about the Motherwell manager tells you the story has became him and not his team, no matter what he says.Self important by not wanting to talk about himself and wanting to talk about 11-14 of his team Instead?
For the sake of debate, do you honestly believe he thought “ I am going to get myself sent off to be in the spotlight “?Yes.

No i don't believe that, what I do think though is he became arsey in the interview to act the big man. Self important.For the sake of debate, do you honestly believe he thought “ I am going to get myself sent off to be in the spotlight “?
It’s just a manager being passionate, do you think a Craig brown mousey character is what the Motherwell fans want?
Fair enough. I quite like it, but each to their own.No i don't believe that, what I do think though is he became arsey in the interview to act the big man. Self important.
More like Blackburn (Lancs) or Burnley.Bit of a f*cking twat who likes the sound of his own voice.
Not sure if accent is Bathgate or Brora
Christ heard it now, Rude? It’s an interview post match with a manager not a job interview.More like Blackburn (Lancs) or Burnley.
All he had to say was "I won't talk about that. I will talk about the game and performance all day as it was great - but, I won't talk about that". What he did was rude.
I think it’s quite funny tbh..I've no issue with it, Gerrard did similar not that long ago shutting down a reporter. Didn't keep repeating himself like Alexander did.

He’s not.He comes across as a total c0ck. Must be from the dark side
Aye, bit of a bizarre outburst. Literally the opposite of what happenedSelf important by not wanting to talk about himself and wanting to talk about 11-14 of his team Instead?
See Gerrard’s midweek interviewFair enough. I quite like it, but each to their own.
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.
My thoughts exactly.So his team have just had a great game but the media want to ignore that and go for the soap-opera pish and he's to comply?
FFS bears, every one of us in here complain about the state of the game up here and part of that is the media who are incapable of decent sports journalism so focus on the banal.
He was dead right in the way he handled that line of questioning. For those who say he should just have said "I'm not talking about it ", what do you think the next question would have been?
It would have been "Why is that, why are you refusing to discuss it?" and on and on.
If you want the game here improved, a part of that is promoting the football achievements, not the stupid side-shows.
Bit of consistency, eh?
He came across as a c*nt because he refused to play the part of Aunt Sally in a pathetic soap-opera?it is entirely possible to think the mainstream Scottish sports media is useless and that Alexander has come across as a c*nt.
Some valid points. However, to counter, we have Lemon's shit-show interviews at Livi recently and then this one from Alexander - and all the whining in the aftermath. 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'. These Managers are in the public eye, they have to expect to be held up to scrutiny and they should have the skill-set to be able to handle that. Alexander was childish and petulant, bizarre in the aftermath of what was an excellent win. He's used to being in front of the cameras. He could easily, had he chosen to do so, have handled that differently. Reference has been made to Gerrard. The difference being Gerrard said his bit, said it once, then moved the interviews on. Which is precisely what Alexander should, and could, have done.So his team have just had a great game but the media want to ignore that and go for the soap-opera pish and he's to comply?
