Site Supporter Ratwhite Posted August 11, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2019 Like a proud parent this morning. Them boys done good. Those that did not attend (for whatever reason) missed a 17 year old keeper (think the film Kes) have a blinder. The linesman have a belter and a team of boys average 19 play their hearts out. I looked at them shaking hands with the CCFC players at kick off and gulped, and said to my mate - they're fucking babies........ -11 It's a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true white Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 This weekend, all I am bothered about is enjoying that performance. As a fan I want a team committed to playing for the Bolton badge and they did that by the bucketful. I’m not interested in people who did not turn up or players who did not play. It was their loss. People who was there had a day they will never forget. One of my favourite ever game. Up there with united away, Munich, Hull away etc. We will forget the players who could not be arsed but we will remember the commitment of the young Bolton team forever. Like other posters have said, some decent older pro’s added to that team we will head in the right direction. COYWM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gonzo Posted August 11, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2019 I was in bed at 9pm last night. Felt as shagged as those young heroes must have done. Think I kicked and head every ball with them like has been said the best bit yesterday was looking round me in the stand, ESL social club, the hotel and around the ground and being with comrades who wanted to be there. Folk that will be there till the moment they lock the doors for good. The same faces I saw in Plovdiv and the same I saw at Ipswich away on a Sunday afternoon and every mundane shit home game in the past decade. Loved every single second of yesterday, sat there with my wife, kids, pete and my old fella who hasn’t got many seasons left in him.. We’re not going anyway and either is the club. In it together till the very end 🙌🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s shown passion in abundance just by sticking with it through our most difficult period since the early 80s. He’s a hero for me. I am not a fan but one interview has made me go all soft. Be interesting to see how it would work with him being like he was yesterday taking a step back. he clearly can be a good man manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted August 11, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2019 I hope this is the kick up the arse that we all need. Parky has actually come out and said what he needed to say weeks ago, the older professionals have been shown up for what they are, and the young lads have shown that the want to be part of the first team squad. If we can just get the deal done, get Weird Larry and the know nowt prophets of doom (Reluctant and IlesBeeno) off our backs it will be chips and gravy from now on. Want the ST prices out and agreed on, and let's get on the back pages of papers instead of the front and the 'in court this week' section. Only then we might have got our club back.

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted August 11, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2019 Forget about football tactics, team selections, formations and substitutions. Parky deserves a medal of honour and our utmost respect and recognition for what he has had to deal with in the last 6 months. His professionalism, manner and commitment have been exemplary. A true leader. Sir, I doff my cap to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally - I think he should still go once (if) the takeover happens. Primarily because we need to be seen to be having a fresh start. But I won't hear a bad word spoken about his character.

My seats yesterday were in spitting distsnce of dug out and he was on his feet all game kicking every ball and clearly proud as the rest of us. First time ive noticed Gavin McCann on bench as well. After yesterday all in it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 11, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2019 It would seem strange, if the situation carried on for a while yet, to have the first team being managed by youth team coaches! Emotion on one side, I agree it's time for a fresh start. Given his off pitch activities and apparent successes in keeping the club going, I do wonder if he'd be suited to a board position; to avoid any future disconnect between onwards and players/fans.

Leyther_Matt Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I don’t know whether it’s because I got in after 3am and I’m about to head out on a day sesh round Rochdale with Leigh White, but I’m in bits reading this thread. So, so proud of fans and players alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those lads who played today need/deserve help, but that comes from a functioning football club that can put out a team which includes some senior pros. It's not about finding senior pros who are willing to put up with the shit ours have and continue to go above and beyond, because they don't exist.

It's a bit like Brexit and you are a Leaver, to scared to say anything in case the remoaner parky faithful abuse you. Ffs! Those young lads were trained all week by Mcann & Spooner, if PP and Parkin were involved, we wouldn't have got that performance. Yes Parky showed some emotion and passion on the radio post-match, but a medal of honour, fuck off! He's handled himself with dignity throughout all this shit, i get that, but were else is he gonna be? I don't see many takers? At the end of the day Phil Parkinson as football manager of BWFC is not what we need right now, those kids won't benefit in the long run from his management. 3 or 4 of them kids should have been given a chance in the 2nd half of last season when we had fuck all to lose, it never happened. Yesterdays game and result in many respects was a novelty, it won't carry on like that, these kids need senior pro's to bring them on, and I'm afraid PP is not the answer, I wouldn't trust him to bring the right personnel in based on past recruitment. Some of you might say "it's not the time" , no other club gives a fuck about our situation, I remember Pompey and Leeds going through the wringer, and I for one didn't give a flying fuck, although wouldn't wish them to extinction. Sluffy, your record word count is still intact! Be careful what you wish for, do you think we’d easily attract a replacement with the experience and contacts to deal with this shit? Do you think it would of been wise to blood 17-18 year olds last season with all that was going on and at a higher level? No ones starting a Parky love in, if we had the cash to bring in a new experienced manager and had money to bring in some players then I’d be up for a change, as we’ve got no money we have to stick with what we have and support PP and the coaching team.

It’s not even about whether he should be manager or his ability or anything. It’s the fact he clearly cares about this club and has gone above and beyond. Way more than most of the managers we’ve ever had. And more than the sorry bunch of players he’s got to deal with. He deserves a place in this club’s history for that alone. I thought it was great to see him offer advice to Gavin and Nicky yesterday but then stand back and let them take the limelight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWFC_LOVE Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Still buzzing after yesterday. I need to echo the importance of Weir; he seemed to really come into his own in the second half at Wycombe, and his composure on the ball in the middle of the park made a massive difference to all the kids yesterday. Not to mention his charging over to the linesman after the first disallowed goal 😂 I sat behind the benches yesterday for a change as I’ve had a ST in NSL for every season, bar a season as a ball boy. Does Parky usually head straight down the tunnel at the final whistle? Every credit for his words on GMR and taking a backseat. I’m just confused by his stance at the end of both games so far. I have the utmost respect for him and everything he’s done, and personally would be happy for him to stay. Who was the poster on here the other day, who was making a point that he was working on his shed instead of going to the game? I’m embarrassed and gutted for him after that.

Blondi Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I have a lot of respect for Parkinson considering what he's had to endure, but I don't want him coaching these young kids with his anti football philosophy, he could ruin some of these young lads careers and they'll get little chance of first team football under his management.
