the main reason i was embrassed about the programme is that ive been told last couple of days by non bees supporters that we are being managed by david brent!!

:confused: But Wally looks nothing like David Brent.....so perhaps they're the fools? Opposing football fans role is to be antagonistic anyway otherwise they'd just be patronising....I much prefer the antagonism :yes:

I'd much prefer a Wally in charge than a Max :eek: Look at the way the players were taking the pi*s out of him....he had lost their respect. If our players are supporting Downes than perhaps we should get behind Wally to a man to help our team get out of mess? The atmosphere at GP these days is pretty poor and unsupportive....I don't think we were as vociferous as we should have been in the 2nd half vs Notts C....not much encouragement coming from my gob. I'm glad about the Stockport Cnty £5 inititive....perhaps the atmosphere will be electric?

John, has that bike ride seriously damaged your thinking?
 

Faking It

Just watched it on Video.
Thought it was OK.
What do people expect a Manager to do?

Have none of you never been in a dressing room or watched any other teams coaching session?

Whats with this 'appalled at Wallys bad language?'

And I'm told some of the pussies showed their passion by crying after the Notts County game...Diddums.
Perhaps they need more shouting and screaming at them or are they waiting for a 'Max' type figure to take charge..?

Mark Peters scowled his way through the programme, that was my observation..

Oh right, so your plan is, as we approach perhaps the most crucial 2 months in the clubs history, for the fans to not unite behind the manager and the team.

Downes Out chants will definitely help the team keep focussed won't they.

It was like he still though he was in the classroom.
 

Faking It

my main observation was... i need to get to more games ASAP, i was having FAR too much trouble recognising the players!!!!

fantastic to see Brentford on the telly :cool: it did make our squad seem worryingly immature tho!!

I think you're right....it has :( Let's all cheer on the lads for 90 mins vs Stockport. If we fail to win then we must unite and call for Wally's head. This division is so sub standard and though we have played all the teams at the top, I'm not convinced that the man at the helm can get the required best out of our players :no: We might only be losing games by the odd goal but this surely has to be one of the worst runs in recent history. Wally is not inspiring players or fans....and I repeat what I said last week after the Notts County debacle, if we go down the finger will also be pointed at the Bees United sponsored Directors whom failed to act in time.

IMO.....If we get relegated John Mac. should step down. Is our record 2 wins in 19 games?.......:mad: very poor show.....what makes our Board feel that Wally can turn it around? Relegation will break a lot of fans hearts and how much goodwill to Bees United will be lost?

why wait untill we get relegated ? As far as Im concerned the whole lot can go now.The information that some fans have over the way the club has been run is damning in it self.The completely bizarre decison to keep employed the worst manager in BFC'S history is a seperate issue.Maybe they want to be part of history,on the baord when we went down ? We should call an EGM and ask them all to resign before information being with held is published

Can we get this thread back on track please. A few of the posts immediately above should probably be in other threads or a start of a new one.

So back to "faking it"........
 

Faking It

have just finally got round to watching Faking It.
excellent publicity for the club. brilliant to see brentford on tv. how many viewers did it get? 1 or 2 million maybe? surely a handful of people might be tempted/reminded to come to a game after seeing the programme.

wally doesn't seem a very nice man though does he! talks a lot of sh*t too from what i saw, although hopefully you can't judge his managerial skills from what he was telling the bloke to shout at the players.
was wally crying when they told the bloke he had been sussed, or was he just angry?
seemed more like Del Boy than David Brent to me.

anyway, was great to see the bees on the box. well done BFC.



:drunk: :drunk:

From what I heard about it probably the opposite!! Heard Downes was a total cock on it and looked like a sh*t coach.

:nono: Nothing like a 2nd hand opinion :rolleyes: The programme was excellant publicity for Brentford and Wally came across okay. I think some of us are guilty of applying his appalling managerial performance this season to the programme. After all, if we were mid-table would you be saying the same thing? :rolleyes:
 

Faking It

I didn't think he came across SO badly, we all knew that he was an old-school "b***ock them" type of bloke who doesn't have time for any namby-pamby stuff. The contestant did need to buck up his ideas on being more forceful and, although he clearly didn't enjoy it, in the 4 weeks of the programme, Wally's method was probably quite successful- at the very least it meant that when he was doing things differently he was doing so after thinking about it and not just because it was easier. Funny that Max managed not to appear like a manager while achieving the best result in the tournament!
 

Faking It

Just got around to watching the programme and it was nowhere near as cringe-making as I thought it would be. Wally actually came over as a pretty good bloke but he definitely seems to be in the stick rather than carrot category - which, by the way, Wally, isn't working with our team!
 

Faking It

Just watched this again. Wallly really didnt have anything nice/positive to say what a poor teacher he was for this experiment. He thought a bloke who had no interest in footy who was a complete introvert would become a crazy gang geezer overnight. He was in dreamland.
 

Faking It

just seeing Stannard made me switch it off
 

Faking It

When they do the summary at the end, Wally has nothing to say. Just stands there grimacing. To be fair though, the experts only spotted that he wasn't a football manager because the other three were feckless tools.
