Alan Young and Ian Stringer Best Quotes

Recommended Posts

Thought it was a bit suspect when that lad got cut off due to technical difficulties just seconds after listing 'Konchelski' as one of our young inexperienced players.

It's just the kind of stupidity you just don't get anywhere else lol

:thumbup:Gary Neville was saying the same the other day, going on about how we need to clamp down on diving but then saying you're entitled to go down if you feel a touch.

Which brings me to Tony Pulis, who is totally ok with cheating and diving unless it's done by the opposition.

Bit off topic, but Neville is the only pundit who actually talks sense, shame he does not want to manage as he speaks a lot of sense.

And to be fair, Neville is right. Diving only occurs when a player is not touched, if he is touched he may make the contact more dramatic, but it is not a dive.

That comment was from November but what the hey.. :)

I do like Neville as a pundit, in fact he stands head and shoulders above most on TV.

But he is wrong there. You do not have an entitlement to go down and fake being tripped up. It is not a foul unless there is significant contact to impede you.

Being touched in the back and then throwing yourself to the floor is diving, because it is not a natural fall. Making the contact more dramatic, if that includes falling over, is diving.

And, pedantics aside, it's plain wrong in the spirit of the game. Him condoning it is not on.

When we'd just scored vs Palace to equalise Youngy went mad celebrating and a few moments later Zaha had a cross/shot (not sure really) and Kasper saved/caught it and Youngy got so confused he told us that Louis Saha had an effort seen off by Peter Schmeichel. Classic stuff.

I can just about stick Stringer, albeit he does ask some stupid question to Pearson and no wonder he get's the response/attitude from Pearson, but I really cannot fucking stand Alan Young, he makes me want to take a hammer to the radio.

"SHIT REFS, WE ALWAYS GET SHIT REFS, WE ALWAYS GET SHIT REFS. WE ALWAYS GET SHIT REFS" [Leicester City fans in the background.]

 

Ian Stringer: "The Leicester City fans just chanting David Nugent's name"

 

:crylaugh:

Alan Young - 'Vardy's holding his elbow. You shouldn't hit someone on the head with your elbow, then.'

 

Stringer was also trying to get Young to say, 'Well done, ref' but it took Young about half an hour to say it lol.

Classic after match conversation

Alan Young: "Fans really should not be booing the team at half time"

Caller: "How else are fans supposed to express their frustrations?"

Alan Young "By not saying anything"

 

Yeah that'll work!

Posted

In fairness the booing today was uncalled for. Obviously it was born out of frustration but the players worked hard and weren't particularly poor.

Posted

I'm sure I heard Alan Young say after the second goal that Andy King has "the touch of a fairy"

 

I assume he meant it as a compliment

Posted

After the referee's incompetence today and at a point where we were awarded a free-kick, Young said 'It's a free kick Ian! You ever seen one of those?!'

 

Not the best, but Youngy got quite ecstatic about it lol

Posted

Alan Young is a bloody moron, I get really fed up of his obvious bias against Knockaert the second he does something wrong he hammers him yet says nothing about the likes of Drinkwater

Posted

Does anyone else think that Young is like a biased kid? It always seems to him that we're the best in the league and we have the god-given right to win every game. Also, whenever we get a decision go against us, he'll go mad but if the opposition don't get a penalty he'll say "It wasn't a penalty, because the referee said it wasn't a penalty, Ian".

 

I like him, but he really can grate if you listen too much.

What annoys me more about the Knockaert/Young thing is the double-standards. Much like some of our fans with certain players. On their backs virtually all game but as soon as something goes right for that certain player they're up their arse and it's as if they've never slated them. 

 

I just think that Youngy is the kind of man who likes the physical, rough and tumble kind of football, and not the 'flicky-dicky' stuff as he likes to call it, which is why he rarely takes a liking to whatever Knockaert does.

Posted

Stringer has pissed me off more than Youngy for once!

 

On the penalty just then. 'Vardy, in to the 18-yard box, takes a dive...penalty all day long!' I mean wtf?!

 

And earlier he was questioning James' being at the ground tonight but not being in the squad. So what?!
