I thought Ollie came across very well. And he stuck a volley in the top bin in Pro/Am.


This is what he is good at though....talking.

He is full of it...but its all about him (imo).

He can talk the talk.....but thats it.

How many managers have 2 promotions to the Premier League under their belt? He certainly has walked the walk. This season was obviously a shambles, but that doesn't mean he hasn't had success. And I agree with him that without covid, we'd have been competitive. Last season we were hugely better once he came in and every player he signed improved the team.

Which one? They're both tools. Ironically, the football manager is funnier than the stand up comedian.

Of course Holloway will spin it. If we were sat in the playoffs, he'd still be here. He knew he'd put together a poor team and got out with a reason, that I'm sure was partly true, to maintain his reputation. If we were flying high then he would probably have stayed.


I’ve seen Lloyd on tour, was actually quite good. He also stayed behind and had a beer with many of the audience.  He also used his position to be very vocal about JSF.so I’d say he’s one of us.

Without the clubs draconian reaction to covid, we would have been competitive. Same scenario for everyone, but other sides didn't immediately get rid of their best players to cut costs to the bone.

That’s the fundamental problem isn’t it? This club hasn’t been operating with the objective of success on the pitch, it’s all about breaking even regardless of league position or team performance

Quoted from Boris Johnson


Do the club pay him? Or is I Follow, or Humberside? But if he is paid, then I agree its not a good look on Griffith part.....he's a pub comedian at best.


Some people find Mrs Browns Boys funny though so for each Lloyd Griffithses there’s a Michael MacKintyre who is about as funny as pubic lice.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!
