It tells you a lot about football, if he didn't score he would not be man of the match and the abuse on here would be at a different level. His view was reflective of many others until the last minute though he does put it across in an over the top way.
But it didn't end goaless. We won. Be happy.
Own up - you're Ian aren't you! If not I think you've found your soul-mate.
With respect KD Plat's performance was surely better than "OK" - check the consensus of people rating each player six out of eleven rated him MOM - PLUS he took out at least two players when receiving high and short balls to head, chest and feet.
Please give some credit to a guy bursting with CCFC leffort and commitment.
PUSB
Yes he was better than OK that was badly worded and I agree with your'e whole statement.
The point I am trying to make is regard to the initial thread which attacks Ian calling the show. Yes he moans, yes he is over the top (which I think has almost become a bit of a joke between him and the presenters) but the basic preface of what he says is right.
What I find quite funny is that people on here question why he is on the show. He has had several threads dedicated to him (more than most of our players) and 900 views on this one alone. Never heard the saying "no publicity is bad publicity"? For a sad show like the phone-in Ian is good box office.
He is just honest, the game was shockingly devoid of any quality. Both goalkeepers may as well have been on holiday. We scored. Good. As a spectacle it was still rubbish.
But why is he deserved of the airtime to spout the same viewpoint week in, week out. Sure he's entitled to his opinion. But why the same jaundiced one every week? Not democratic and representative is it?
Not a great game, but we won and our keeper didn't have a save to make.
Feeling good about the result, tune in to CWR for the drive home. Then that plank comes on.
Time to turn over to listen to the rugby.
tobe fair to ian he actually spoke alot of sense today(bar platt stuff)
its crazy how many people change their opinion of a 90 min performance based on a last min goal...kinda pathetic actually

I still think that SISU have had a word with CWR...if they can tell Reading to stifle protest, they can easily do the same to the local media.
Disagree somewhat. The commentators agreed that it was awful for about 60 mins or so, but then said that it then got a lot more exciting after that. Ian completely disagreed with that, but I thought as soon as we began to turn the screw and put them under pressure the game was a lot more excitng. Not the most entertaining game by a long chalk but things did improve dramatically when we had them pinned back and were starting to fire the ball in from all angles.
Thing is with Ian, you just knew he was going to be on the air first and you just knew he was going to moan and there have been occassions in the past where we have played well and he has still moaned.
He just comes across as incredibly negative about everything and for him to say Platt was just average was plain ridiculous. He did also say that he would be totally amazed if anyone said Platt was MOTM. The commentary team made Plat MOTM and caller after caller after that and texters too all pretty much made Platt MOTM.
It's the negativity after pretty much every game that gets everyone down with him. I recall one game last season under AB where we played really, really well, had something that 24 shots on target, but lost, and Ian came on and said we were rubbish.
I agree with MMM on this one. He''s like a broken record and offers nothing new and it's the same old moan in week in, week out.
I would respect him if he stopped whining like a girl.
Everytime I hear is voice I want to get a shotgun and blow my brains out.
When people phone in and Eakin asks them what they thought they usually give constructive sentences like "Well I was pleased with the result and thought we put in the effort and worked really hard, but i wasn't hally with the formation etc. etc. etc.
No word of a lie, what we get with with Ian is; "So what did you think today, Ian?"
Answer: "Awful" And that is it, FULLSTOP. It is always a one word answer followed by a fullstop. It is then back to the presenters and Clive Eakin has to ask him to explain what he means and only then does he go into detail.
It's a broken record and must dirve many a fan to contemplate suicide after his calls. If he keeps on phoning like this my on/off button is going to get turned firmly to off!
I'm positive that SISU have made threats to many people. Never hear from Brinner do we.
They even make away stewards take anything with 'SISU out'. That is censorship and they have no right to do so at away games.
You may be right, perhaps brinner is sharing Michael McIndoes safe house. Hope he leaves is wallet at home.
Either that or you're paranoia may just be going a teeny bit too far.
Has anyone considered that Ian may be 'planted' by CWR??? An 'insider' who calls to stir debate, promote the significance of the show apart from the drudgery that we have from Eakin/Linnell et al????
I shall say nothing more.....

He talks bollocks mostly but it gets people coming back all of the time so it's all good to cwr! Platt was excellent today, he hassled their back four and helped create chances. This would not always work against a more accomplished defense but it certainly worked out well today
Exactly, that is why they let him on, because they know his contrary views will provoke a few more people to ring in or text to disagree with him.
