Don'tcha think we should have a whip round and help the poor lad out?



I used to like Poochatinna but just lately he has been getting a bit Moanrhino'ish..... I suppose that goes with the territory up there.

Like pep and klopp he's prone to a big sulk if not going his way..now I know he hasn't lost many but the Arsenal manager seems a bit more grounded of what I've seen.

These "punishments" are an absolute total joke. There was no justification for his verbal assault on the match officials ( which he has described as a 'conversation" ) as it was impossible for him to judge whether it was a corner or goal kick anyway from his position.

Probably the club will pay his fine. Touchline ban, so what? They have mikes or can pass messages and he can go in and give the pre match & half time team talk. It should be a stadium ban at the very least.

TBF to Poch he has publicly apologised.

Poch had a real go at the ref, like a lot of foreign managers when they dont get the decisions they spit out their dummies, how could he possibly see the incident from where he was stood, no one could tell who the ball last came off until it was shown close up by tv cameras, how many yards did Danny Rose steal from his throw in which led to Kanes goal? nothing said about that one, retribution i say. Terrific result for the lads and thoroughly deserved.

Poch..."I am in shock."(over the ban) I think its unfair. I need to see the reason I am banned. " (BBC five live)

He's not a happy bunny.

New WHL has a brewery and taps to serve 10,000 pints a minute. I think the club might help him out.

I think he was letting Dean know exactly what he thought about 4th officials rushing to throw balls back to players so they could take quick throw ins before the opposition defenders are properly set up and how he absolutely hates how players gain unfair advantage by running down the touchline for yard after yard before they throw the ball in. And ultimately I have to say I'm with him on that. It's a passionate game and that stuff is bound to get a manager hot under the collar and Dean was certainly out of order and needed bloody telling, so let's cut Poch a bit of slack I say!!
