Macca interview

Nearly had me going as well, but he’s actually wrong - I don’t think he needs to look at himself. He’s a consummate pro - he’s made errors, lost some confidence, but knuckled down and when he gets back in the team he wins games for us. It would be joyous for him to be part of the squad that gets us back where we belong...

Great lad good pro really like him but I want better , incoming red x  

I would like certain individuals to be sat down and made to listen to that interview. Then, and only then, might they understand just what they have done.

I'm sure many of you were at Burton in 2010, as I was. My overwhelming emotions that day were of sadness. Tonight is different. Tonight I feel nothing but anger.

I'm not angry about tonight, because I'd been expecting this moment for weeks. I'm angry about five wasted years since we regained league status. Five years of treading water, as if we'd learnt nothing from our previous experience. And now we have to do it all over again.

Next week's meeting at least offers the possibility of brighter days to come. But we must never, EVER forget why we are where we are tonight. I won't forget and I won't forgive those who are to blame.

Chin up Macca. You had a shaky first half of the season - no doubt as a result of your confidence being trashed by Holloway encouraging our defenders to play tiki taka football like we're the Barca of Iniesta, Xavi et al... But you more than redeemed yourself in recent games with some fantastic saves. And no one can deny your passion and love for this club and understanding of what it means to us, the fans.

I for one, would like to see you here next season, even if it's as back up keeper, or gk coach.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Thanks Sigone. Nearly had me in tears.

I had a lump in my throat. He's clearly devastated, as are the rest of us. I hope PH gives him the opportunity to make amends next season. Yes he's had a few wobbles and make mistakes but there's no denying he's been a great servant to the Mariners for a decade and long may it continue.

Quoted from Mariner93er

I can at least take solace in the fact we had a group of players who really cared at the end - just a shame we didn’t have them all season. Coke’s reaction was what got me and then this interview.

How did coke react?

Looked like Macca was fouled for their second goal.

Quoted from Mayaman

Looked like Macca was fouled for their second goal.

He should not of palmed the ball over the bar in the first place to give them a sloppy corner.  That was a ball a Sunday League keeper would have caught in his hands.

I think you're being very harsh. The marking for the second and third goals was appalling, no player in that kind of position should get a shot or a header away with no challenge at all. Even if you're not going to get the ball you've got to play the man to try and put him off.
