The standard of journalism at wol is utter garbage
He is a twitchy , grumpy git but that shouldn't bother anyone
He's had a pretty good start to the season and has brought in some very useful players

Are these people responsible for the western mail and the Wales On Sunday ?Quote:

We won the game, talk about how we dominated and how hard the players worked on one of the hottest football days for a decade or three!
I can't see the clip, is it the one of him shutting the journo down who's trying to pick holes in the striker situation? Great watch that- I bet the journo feels an absolute wally about it. Morison spoke brilliantly and shut him right down while backing the players too- exactly the reaction you'd hope to get from him.

Well that isn’t true.Quote:

And Morison didn’t speak brilliantly and comes across as a quite inarticulate in fact. He is passionate and borderline angry which is fine by me as long as he manages well.
But he didn’t speak brilliantly.
The same journo has a headline on Wales online this morning with the words "Birmingham fallout" in it? I thought fall out was reserved for poor results?
Is Glen becoming Steve Morison's Steve Tucker who had such a joyus relationship with Dave Jones 😂😂

I guess your all aware Morisons behaviour is purposely delivered .
Did you stay in the sun too long this weekend? Baldies like us should wear hats in such circumstances.Quote:

I think that's probably part of the reason for the way Morison is with the media, when you're in your first job you're constantly under pressure, a run of defeats and that could be it for you as a manager.
Someone like Warnock, who knows even if he gets the sack he's likely to have another 5 clubs lining up for them afterwards is obviously much more relaxed and affable with the press.
that said, I think that's only part of the reason, the main part is Morison is just a bit of a grumpy bastard.
I guess leaving school with one GCSE hasn't helped.
We'll agree to disagree then :thumbup:Quote:

Proof that what he says won't please everyone mind. Social media was mad at him for previous comments digging players out and now some are mad at him for say Max was unbelievable and defending him.
I don't think he was unbelievable but I also don't think he was that bad. I'm not sure he's at all suited to being a lone striker but his movement is very good.
If he slots that one on one away like he should have then he probably gets some very good ratings.
He didn't though and question marks rightfully still there.
Journo looking for a cheap score really, we all know we are light upfront. SM will know that more than anyone.
We were talking about this in the pub after Saturday’s game and I was wondering whether something happened between him and the press during his playing days.Quote:

Considering the local press have been almost exclusively supportive of him since he took over as manager, his attitude towards them is just plain odd.
It’s entertaining, though.
Glen Williams is arguably his biggest supporter on Twitter, it’s very odd he’s fine for Glens throat albeit it was an extremely daft question.
Good post, I think you're right if the results come the pressure will be released, and he will calm down!Quote:

It was a stupid way to introduce a question, no doubt about that, but the reaction was way over the top all the same. Morison often seems like he’s an ace away from a full-on meltdown when he’s dealing with the press and it’s difficult to understand why. After all, it’s not as if they give him a hard time. Far from it.Quote:

I agree about Williams, maybe Morison reacted the way he did because he thought he’d get an easy, complimentary question from him and it took him by surprise?Quote:

I blame the 20,000 steps to and from the game. My rain dance yesterday seems to have done the trick thoughQuote:

He shoots from the hip at times but I’d much rather that than the corporate bullshit that other managers trot out every interview. I love his honesty
Spot onQuote:
