Just an easy way to escape fan criticism and shift it entirely onto his team mates. "WEE GOWZER CARES!!" as you slump to another defeat, while those around him get hounded. Doing these things publicly helps nobody except the person making the statement. It's not cowardly at all. 34 minutes ago, johnnydun said: I don't think it's cowardly, he has probably said it to his team mates faces too. This, as long as he's said it to them and plans to lead by example there is f**k all wrong with telling folk home truths. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing these things publicly helps nobody except the person making the statement. 'Cowardly'? Holy overreaction, Batman. Gowser savaging his teammates in the press is an annual ritual at Dens, and there is no doubt he has told them all how he feels inside the changing room. In fact, he's usually saying it to them on the pitch during a game. Gowser has been very quiet and subdued lately during games and it was always going to boil over into the press with each loss piling up. He picks his spot when to 'lose it' in the press and what this tells you is how desperate things are that McGowan felt it was time to pull the trigger on his annual rant. Sometimes he gets a wee reaction out of it and sometimes he doesn't. This 'outburst' is simply a guy grasping at straws trying to give us a jolt when he knows we're an utter mess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is part of this shite ( granted he says this) but still its all just bullshit. I dont take notice of what gets said in media regarding our performances. Actions speak louder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) McPake using his tactic of getting Gowser to say the tough stuff to his players in the media cos he can't do it himself in the dressing room, maybe turning into my least favourite habit of his, besides the constant losing of course.

If you read what McGowan actually said you'll note that McPake kept them in the dressing room for the best part of an hour going through them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he said "words were said and they had to be", which strongly implies the words that were being said were within the squad itself, as he has implied in previous occasions. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is the next line in the article? That they were kept behind for nearly an hour. It's only the manager that can do that. That's just you putting your own assumptions on things.

The Derry Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Words aren't enough any more sadly. Something drastic has to be done. I propose executing a youth team player in front of the rest of the squad the next time we are losing at half time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Did McPake keep them back to apologise for being an utterly shite manager? Pointless, LET'S SHOW HOW MUCH WE CARE LADZ cliches.
