He doesn't look or sound like a rational person. Even more delusional than we used to get from Wellens with Swindon. More likely to get a fine than an apology.

Bogle, much maligned yet has scored more goals in fewer games for Newport County than Nouble & Washington.
Same amount as McCoulsky but with two more apps.

Quite. There’s a good chance that he’ll finish the season with 15 goals and top scorer, which is not a bad return. His form has just been a bit lumpy, that’s all. On the latest podcast (available via all reputable outlets), I talked about the love/hate relationship between him and the fans, and hopefully last night has reset things a bit.

All I learnt from that interview is that he has a big garage.

What a shame we are talking about the ref after Steve Evans comments. He realises that he could be in trouble after calling the ref incompetent and disgraceful. I reckon he will get a call. He plays the victim very well. However, he got four garages out of it according to him. Steve ‘four garages’ Evans.

That said, we were well worth the point and could have clinched it. This is a much better side and I feel we just need to up the ante defending on set pieces. That corner goal was bad defending but we held in there and got a deserved draw. Could have been more. Onwards and upwards.

What a bitter and twisted man that Steve Evans is, like Richie Wellans he hasn't got a good word for the opposition or the ref.
The draw in my opinion was a fair result.
They came to play and showed some good aggression.
Caught us cold with the 4 subs at HT.
We stuck at it and deservedly came back for a decent draw.

When he has a decision that goes in his teams favour does he or any manager come out and criticise the refs then ?
As soon as they feel hard done by its always the refs fault in their opinion..

He criticises the ref and saying that if they cant do the job they should be sacked, blah , blah.... Does the idiot realise that without refs the game CANNOT go ahead...Yes ALL teams will get decisions they disagree with but they also get decisions that go for them. The refs are human and make mistakes..Live with it you bitter man..
He made 4 changes at half time because we were the better side in the first half ( his words ) , should he be sacked or resign then because he let the Stevenage fans down by doing his job wrong by choosing a side that weren't the better team ?
A very bitter man who thinks he can do no wrong...Shut up Evans , stop acting like a spoilt child and go and eat something you fat ~~~~~~

I've got no qualms with Steve Evans's comments. The refs are generally poor at our level. GC would be saying exactly the same thing if we had the decisions go against us.

I agree pretty much. I should add though that whenever I watch a game as a neutral referees seem to be so much better and I am frequently amazed at how myopic football crowds can be.

I have no qualms with his comments or opinions either, even though I haven't bothered to listen to them, because quite frankly they are irrelevant to me. IMO most losing football managers talk a load sh*t post match most of the time and aren't worth listening to.
What can't be ignored though is the fact that he has got Stevenage in a position where they have a very good chance of automatic promotion contrary to most people's expectations.

I agree with that except........

No, there's no except.

Contrasting managerial styles, but who would want to be a League 2 Ref?

MOM

I like Bungle but I think he's got to be a little bit careful that he keeps the fans onside. For example, the slight bit of petulance when he got subbed off recently and the hand clasped against his ear gesture after he scored last night. Those things aren't going to impress the quiet majority of us who wish him well and want him to score every game.

I agree mostly …..
….. but Nouble was also much maligned … booed off several times, which i can never understand!
