Steve Evans

[Dreamgreen]

So ... not OUR Steve Evans then !

Over the years I have stood behind the dugouts at various times and more often than not have heard managers, home and away, abuse the officials. Sadly it is part of being a football manager. The more you can blame the officials the less blame attaches itself to you for poor tactics, team selection etc. You only have to listen to the post match comments on MOTD. Big Sam being the worst culprit. We should have had a penalty, their man should have been sent off blah blah blah...
That being said I don’t like Steve Evans either!!

Horrible horrible man. Found the right club though.

Have you met him? He puts pressure on refs yes. That's for the ref to deal with if he goes over the top. The game needs characters even have figures. Imagine if everyone was as boring as DA.

Umm, I clearly remember DA getting stuck into a lot of opposition managers on the touchline. I imagine you'd have been the first to slate him for that, but now here you are claiming he's boring.

Have you met DA? Can you give us a personal anecdote that demonstrates his boring character?

Interesting article re the charming Mr Evans.
I’ve never met him but he strikes me as being a pretty unpleasant character.

Yes I have met him. Let's leave it at that. And have listened too often to his media briefings. You don't have to 'get stuck into opposition managers' to be a character!

Characters I'm fine with but he comes across as obnoxious and thoroughly unpleasant.

Again have you met him?

No. That's why I used the expression 'comes across'. We had some illuminating glimpses of his unpleasant pitchside behaviour today.

Stop the press. Football manager argues with referee.

Ronnie and Reggie were characters - they even made films about them, but were unpleasant individuals.

Evan's gives you his all - which is why he gets work, in an industry with any moral scruples he wouldn't get close to employment.

Maybe you are not old enough to remember the delightful Mr Billy Bingham! The foulest mouthed aggression I have ever heard. Sadly, some of it directed at one of his own players, who was not Northern Irish. (I'm sure I need say nothing more to those who were around at the time!)

You can tell us now....

You never see Steve Evans and the soon-to-be ex-President of the USA in the same room. Just saying...

What surprises me most is that given his much publicised criminal past, a solid club like Gillingham would employ him. I felt the same about Graham Westley. Why would any sane, rational Chairmen select these characters?

I thought that the referee had a superb game. 10/10 for me. He was fair throughout.

Have you seen Paul Scally?

He's moaning about our facilities now.
