What difficult question did you ask yesterday.
I wasn't there yesterday - I was in a dentist's chair having x-rays and for Friday's press conference I will be back in said chair having a temp crown fitted.
Bad timing Mark, anyway keep well.
Arise King Dingwall
Who plays on their place?
Tav won’t be dropped. He has good faith in the bank.
Your next question should be to young Ridvan to see if he has any contacts back home to get you a deal. Hollywood Mark could be a new name if he can
And do you think that question gets answered?
If you don't ask you don't get
These guys aren't going to ask this kind of stuff unfortunately.
Why don’t you set up your own fan media and do it? If you are so attuned to what the fans want to know you should be massively successful and then you can ask any ridiculous question you want.
I would assume that a Press meeting is to give information and for the press to ask questions.
Wrong Press Meeting
Thing is, it's not really archaic though. The massive amount of media the manager and players need to do now is actually fairly new, in relative terms at least. Broadcasters in particular demand them to use as filler for their 24/7 coverage and it allows them to analyse the crap out of every generic and inane sentence uttered. Podcasts ditto. The written media just twist what was said and put their own spin on it. Totally agree it's a complete overload though and a quick 5 minute rundown on the squad, fitness updates and any other info deemed relevant would be plenty.
I would guess even if the manager was going to drop Tav or Goldson or any of the regular players, he wouldn't admit to it before a game and give our opponent the heads up.
That would certainly be cheaper
No, it's usually "how important is it!?"
If you ask Mark nicely maybe he'll let you use his press pass for Friday and you can stare big Phil down and ask him the hard questions directly

He's obviously not going to discuss individual players and selection choices and a ridiculous question like that is just going to piss him off.
Probably a less painful experience than the press conference
And if you asked that he would say, rightly, "You're talking absolute shite and I won't be answering any questions from you in the future"
Why unfortunately? Are you actively wanting Phil to call them fucking clowns and not bother coming back?
The manager will simply not answer that question and nor should he.
No manger worth his salt is ever going to call out individual players and criticise them in public.those conversations remain behind closed doors between the gaffer and the players.the way it has to be.
Particularly with Tavernier, the attitude towards our captain, and clearly our best player is utterly extraordinary.
I think folk expected fan media to go in and start asking ridiculous questions like you mention above. As you say, if you don’t toe the party line you will just be ignored. Not much you can do about it really.
If you heard him he is not dropping his captain,he said he had a bad game against Ross County and Tav knows he had but no mention of his usual nightmare against the scum,every time me we play them.
