What was that all about at the end of the game?
Cannot view Warnock's post match comments.
Nuno ran onto the pitch without shaking Warnock's hand. Seems he did the same at Boro last week to Pulis tooQuote:

Pulis was the same last week, bitter old bastards who need to get over a loss
Hardly improving his image then. Nuno appeared to want to catch up with him to shake his hand only to be greeted with a number of "feck offs".Quote:

"I want to be a gentleman to all the managers, I'm sorry to [Middlesbrough boss] Tony Pulis and I'm very sorry to Neil Warnock. It was not my intention to be disrespectful but it's very difficult in the last minute when there is a penalty and your goalkeeper [saves it], you have to celebrate, I'm being honest. Once again I'm sorry and I'll try to avoid it. I'll go to his office now and if he gives me a moment I'll try to explain it."
Neil Warnock: "I don't accept it at all and I think it's totally out of order. I think he was a total disgrace, I used strong words and I meant every one of them. He's got to learn that in British football you have manners and a bit of class when you've won a game. You've got to learn that I'm afraid.
"I don't think I'll go into my office until after he's gone. I don't want to se him tonight if I'm honest. I thought it was a great game and it didn't need to end like that."

Warnock had come out of this looking a bitter, old, hypocritical, graceless waanker really.
I bet the Football League must now love awarding him manager of the season:hehe:
If we still get promoted after tonight's debacle, he'll deserve manager of the century.Quote:

That was my point.
He didn't though come across like a bitter, old Brexit voting knob.
Or 'comedian of the year'. Colin Wanker promoting 'manners and class', and he kept a straight face. What a card!Quote:

You'll stay up although it'll be interesting if you start planning properly or continue trying to fire fight your stay in the Premier League? Decisions for your incumbent board?
Like it or not, it is a fair reaction really. I don't blame Warnock for being angry and I don't blame whatever his name is for being excited. There is a lot of pressure on and you can tell.Quote:

Not funny. You are slagging off one of the best and most popular managers we have ever had. Theres only one person looking like a 'graceless waanker' at the moment and thats you.Quote:

It's just an observation.
Spoilt? Warnock expected a handshake at full time. If you watch full time at every league game this weekend, the same thing will happen, the two managers (often one loving life, one hating life) will shake hands. Nuno didn't, its forgivable as he was excited and doesn't understand the customs, and so is Warnock's reaction. Your reaction, however, is absolute shite though.Quote:

Personally, bearing in mind the effort and money put into gentrifying football and making it the sanitised, soulless product that it is I think Warnock acting like a spoilt twaat is extremely funny.
:tongue::tongue:

Re read your post, you got everything spot on until the last sentence.
As it goes I wasn't there, my reaction doesn't matter as my observation doesn't. Chill out.
Listened to talk sport and everyone cursing Warnock. Had a topic about who else in football does everyone hate
Im behind him. You shake hands, not run on the ****ing pitch like you've won the world cup
Really??Quote:

Being from a different culture doesn’t excuse a number of incidents from Nuno this season, nor does having a good team.
It’s done. Our Neil has let himself down again slightly sadly as it’s difficult to claim ‘class’ and then behave the way he did - no matter what the provocation. Let’s move on.
I thought Warnock took losing the game well last night...
Just basic manners at end of the day, shake hands for a second then run on like a kid about to dive into the pool on his first holiday.
Warnock probably should have just blanked him but it was a tough ending and neither are the most chilled out people.
Sure it's all forgotten about.
Nuno did the same a week ago at Middlesbrough though and Tony Pulis had a word about it afterwards, so it was not some heat of the moment slip that would not occur again. As Penarth Blues says in another thread, the Wolves manager has hardly been an angel in his touchline behaviour this season and his "apology" after the game rang hollow to me, but what he did do was provide Neil Warnock with one of those excuses he likes to have after matches which he can use to avoid talking about the shortcomings of his team and, possibly, himself.Quote:

I love the guy but last night he made himself look a complete idiot.
I can understand the excitement from their point of view, I'm still not bothered we lost, genuinely now, but what got my back up was the way they all ran on to the pitch like they had won the champions league.Quote:

I'd applaud their efforts if they didn't come accross as such arseholes. Although their style is boring to watch I actually admired their defensive capabilities last night, and they showed massive heart and fight against Boro too, so fair play, but something about that manager rubs me up completely the wrong way, along with their newer fans, their older fans are proper football fans who have had ups and downs just like us. My mate is one and he hasn't been the slightest bit of a prick all year, unlike their manager.
And what shortcomings exactly were they?Quote:

I see the hypocrisy doesn’t end with our manager.
I bet the same posters crying about them running on the pitch were loving it last Monday when all the city players, subs and staff were on the pitch celebrating robbing a point at Bramall Lane.
They just saved 2 injury time penalties to more or less win promotion to the Premier League, and win the championship.
Yes he should have shook Warnocks hand first but you can understand why, to a man, they all ran on the pitch.
Had we scored one that 2nd pen id have no doubt it would have been our subs and staff running on the pitch.
Lifted from elsewhere.
Warnock has just been on Talksport and as usual spoke really well.
He explained that they were both caught up in the emotion but that’s football.
Still said etiquette is shaking hands at the final whistle, then he has no issues with their manager running off to celebrate.
Warnock was in good spirits and confirmed that now the dust has settled he has no problem with the Wolves manager.
He confirmed that the next time they meet he would shake hands and would invite him to his office for a post match glass of wine.
Warnock said life’s too short to bare grudges and he wishes Wolves well.
Sounds fair enough.
I felt embarrassed for Warnock last night. Hope he's the bigger man today and apologises.
Are you really missing Slade that much that you need to post crap like this ?.Quote:
