Players don't need fans on their backs

By Tony Kelly

 

I JUST don?t understand the Wanderers fan who was having a go at Kevin Nolan on Saturday.

 

I know supporters were disappointed with the draw against West Brom but, believe me, there will have been no one more disappointed than Kevin.

 

He?s been a star for the club and leads by example off and on the pitch.

 

People forget he could have left a couple of years ago, but he didn?t. His dedication and loyalty is unquestionable, and you know every time he steps on the pitch he will give 110 per cent ? just remember how he played at the end of last season.

 

Like any player, Kevin?s going to have bad games but he?s proud of playing for the club and, more than that, he?s proud of being captain ? and he takes that responsibility seriously.

 

He knows he probably shouldn?t have had a go back at the person who was giving him stick throughout the game, and he?s since apologised, but these things happen in the heat of the moment.

 

The last thing Kevin, or any of the players need when they?re trying to win football matches is the supporters getting on their backs. It doesn?t do anyone any good and we all need to be pulling in the same direction.

 

If the guy in question, or any fan for that matter who has a problem with how things are going, they can always contact me in my role of fans? liaison officer to voice their concerns. I can then pass them on to Kevin and, knowing the type of lad he is, I?m sure he?d be happy to talk to the person in private.

 

The important thing is for everyone to get behind Bolton as we look to put last season?s troubles behind us.

 

We have some of the best supporters in the world at this club, something which I witnessed in person on Wednesday night against Northampton.

 

The less said about the game the better ? these things can happen in football ? but what I was really impressed with was our fans who stayed behind after the final whistle to show their appreciation for Northampton after the Carling Cup tie.

 

It really reminded me of those famous nights at Anfield and Highbury when we were in the old Second Division and shocked Liverpool and Arsenal in the cup. It was lovely to see and shows what good fans we have, even on a bad night like that.

 

It was nice to see Amir Khan on the pitch at half-time of the West Brom game before his big fight against Breidis Prescott on Saturday.

 

The likes of Amir, and cyclist Jason Kenny, who won silver and gold at the Olympics and will be coming down for the Arsenal game on September 20, are brilliant for Bolton and help put the town on the map.

 

...whilst holding them warmly by the throat.

an email address would be nice.

thanks in advance.

Its about right that we have to guess what his email address will be!!

In years to come, on-line dictionaries will replace their definition of the word "obtuse" with a link to this thread.

Hey come on, inbetween all the bizarre irrelevant accusations and confused spagetti I think someone should make the point that someone whose primary role is to act as a contact between club and supporters needs to be obviously contactable. Surely his employers are the ones who should make this so and not us fans

The club haven't publicised Mr. Kelly's availability or contact details well enough in my opinion, making this task more difficult than it's actually worth. It is not our job to do their publicity for them.

 

So let me get this right. People moan about how the club never listens to them and then when the club appoints a liason officer, you won't publish his email address because it's not your job to do the club's 'publicity for them'?!

Because we haven't been given the information.

So, why should we hunt for it?

 

Do keep up.

You don't have to hunt for it. Somebody offered to get it for you. You're sounding like a bit of a Jobsworth.

Hey I just been struck by a thought. I wonder whether or not we can ask Tony how to contact him is not finally the point here. Maybe the real point is that the club seem to have set one up and not given any details of how we can contact him. Dunno why you didn't think of that earlier

And you always come across as a cock.

I think you just enjoy a good whinge.

Lets face it if the club could really be arsed making this work his E-mail address, Contact number, Mail address etc would be plastered everywhere like on the website, fans forums or even in the paper. Im sure if it made them any money it would be advertised a lot better.

Or maybe they're just crediting people with the intelligence to write 'Tony Kelly, Fans Liason officer, c/o Bolton Wanderers Football Club, etc, on an envelope and stick it in the post.

who uses the post nowadays?

 

if the club wanted to make it work email addresses and phone numbers should be on the website or stuck on the end of any press releases he does like the one this article was based on

I can only think this post is a wind up.

You are either twisting what people are saying to have a pop or you are as numb as fcuk (and you aren't alone in that). Either way, it's time to give it up.

 

It's mine and Traf's opinion, not WW policy, that if BWFC or Tony Kelly himself want to publish his contact details on here they are welcome to. It isn't our job to hunt down his phone number or email address, they aren't as far as I know on the main site and we aren't publishing anyone's contact details whilst they aren't in the public domain on the basis that they could be wrong. Our job is to keep this site up and running, which is hard enough given the amount of stick we get from the obtuse (thanks Enzo).

 

If people wish to contact Tony Kelly, they could write to him c/o the club or even phone the main switchboard. Meanwhile, in the 21 century...

What a bunch of old wimmin.

What a bunch of old wimmin.

 

..and, as I have pointed out before, you are just a contrary fooker.

 

"Is this the right room for an argument?"

 

"I've told you once!"

Some people on here just whinge as a first response to everything. It's just become a reflex action. I suspect that if Tony Kelly offered to come round to their house, cook them a meal and listen to their compalints, they'd still complain that he'd overdone the steak.

asktony@bwfc.co.uk

 

at the next time I get really stoned

 

he'll have an inbox full of some of the weirdest, surreal questions he's ever had

I've just spoke to the club

You must have been the one who prompted that saying 'Would start a row in a telephone box'?

In conclusion: BWFC have employed a fans' liasion officer but not communicated on their official site or on any forums how we liase with him.

Righto!
