Greenacres Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 It seems a few players arrived late for the Edinburgh game all hit with fines. That again just sums up our season players can't even be bothered to turn up on time. Do players want to play for Marvin i am not sure they do . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report I read says "more than one" player turned up late, hardly "a few" as you claim, unless you know different. It does bring into question though this improved professional attitude that Marvin was supposedly going to instil in the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bod Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Wonder if we could do a deal with Montrose and share a bus this weekend so our central belt guys could come on it and avoid being late? Either that or Bartley could tell our guys the ko has been moved back to 15.00! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MallanandFlanagan Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 To be honest I feel (perhaps I am wrong) but whenever there is a (even more) poor performance than normal there is some issue with the players that is brought by the manager to public attention. Surely this type of issue should be dealt with internally and not used as an excuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it would be frustrating for the manager but deal with it without telling tales to mummy (Sandra). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any other place of work you turn up late then you are disciplined and not your boss. I do agree it should have been dealt with internally though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katboy Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Sadly it is getting harder and harder to find motivation to rock up at Palmerston these days. Hardly surprising when we are treated to Bartley's own unique brand of negative football. Tomorrow however is his big chance to showcase his talents live to an entire nation. On the subject of players arriving late, I agree with a previous poster that this seems to be used as a convenient excuse following a poorer than usual performance. It is clearly something that needs to be dealt with but keep it in house. Continually outing this as an excuse does not do us any favours and points to a lack of professionalism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can he keep it in house though when part of the punishment was to be dropped from the starting 11? If Bartley refused to comment about it folk would be moaning about a potential rift or wanting to know why. At the end of the day it's the player(s) fault. Bartley rightly comes in for criticism for the situation we are in but the players seem to be getting away with it a bit too easily. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. It's easy to keep it in house though. It's the manager's judgement whether he does or not. All Bartley has to say is that he picked the team best suited to the game. If he chooses to criticise players publicly, then fine but it is a choice. He's publicly criticised players for a number of reasons. Again that's his choice and let's be honest some of it was embarrassing (PlayStationgate). His post match interviews, to me certainly, reek of a guy trying to justify his continued employment and I can't recall a single instance where he has acknowledged that he might have got things wrong. Like many I was pleased and hopeful when he was appointed. I really wanted him to do well. Sadly thus far it's been dreadful and there's little or nothing to suggest that can change.
