Or possibly.
Either way, this thread is split fairly evenly on interpretation of the article, hardly surprising given how he divided support so much so that some bloke had a prescient fit at Grant's antics at Wimbledon. |
Aye.
He could have stopped Murray winning it, the Scottish/English/British twot. |  |

I wouldn't have thought that I was either desperate nor easily offended, but I see your point. There is no doubt that the piece may not fully reflect the whole of the interview.
However, there has been a succession of players given a chance at this club in recent years, and invariably shipped out because of a need for funds, and I cannot recall one that has shown so little grace upon leaving.
Rochdale facilitated his leaving for bigger and better things, at Blackpool, under Ince, having rescued his career and affording him a shop window. A little, tiny acknowledgement would have gone a long way, don't you think? |
Hilly's interview on DalePlayer today,reckons we're all winners on Grant's move. Lets just move on. |  | | |

Hard to train, I guess, when you're in and out of court two hundred miles away whilst sucking up to Gerrard.
I once had the pleasure of deliberately tripping Ince up in the Main Stand bar after the Wolves match at Dale. | |

Macclesfield were a bit way off 'fitness wise' when we dumped them 5-0.
MK Dons were a bit way off 'fitness wise' when we scored two against them in injury time.
And again when we beat them despite having 10 men for about 80 minutes.
Like you say, the fool. | |

Why would it be that training at a league two club doesnt make you fit enough to play at Championship level ?
Why cant league two professional footballers not aquire the fitness levels of a Championship player ?
His comment undermines Hills training regime.
Ince is a total prat and a very easy person to dislike. If anybody in sport has a chip on his shoulder its Ince, he should be sponsored by McCains. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

The final straw that brought Ince's time as Notts County manager was alllegedly over a training session.
After another heavy defeat, he called the squad in for Sunday morning training. When the alloted time came, he allegedly rang them up, told them to get on with it as he was playing golf.
Modern visionary is incey. |  |

I'm sure Ince will have him running up big hills, to get him Championship fit!

Precisely. One thing former and current players, and those with experience of Hilly's regime, always comment on is the level of fitness he insists on. It's evident when watching his sides play. In fact, I'm sure i remember him commenting on the Barnsley players' fitness when he arrived there. Ince is a fool. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

"I've always said, even when I was a player myself, that when you see other players coming through the door it gives everyone a lift, it really does".
Maybe, but I'll bet it's nothing like the thrill the players get when they see Ince walking the other way, heading for the door marked 'EXIT'.
I'm willing to bet they won't have long to wait. Ince is a clown and his comments about Grant, Rochdale and League Two in general are an insult. They were probably meant to be, which tells you all you need to know about this constant failure. An amateur working in a professional environment who is constantly found wanting.

Fair enough. Very much doubt the article represents the full conversation Bobby had with the reporter. By the same token I doubt Grant expressed much gratitude in that wider conversation. As with Ince, I don't really care what he has to say. |  | | |

Ince's comment is disrespectful to Hill and League 2 in general, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some response in the media from our side. However, having watched Grant amble round the pitch at Halifax for 70 minutes I wonder if maybe Grant wasn't giving his all in pre-season training? Ince is making judgements about our training based on one player who didn't even want to be here. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I knew there was something annoying about Ince - that was it - The Guv'nor.
Didn't the gormless tw*nk fall out with Sir Fergie of Govan because he also wanted to be known as The Guv'nor? I seem to recall Ince had a number plate bearing the word at around that time.
Self-aware? Humble?
Still, he's traded on his ability to snarl for years and years.
I like to think Hill would have gone through him first time had he ever faced him in a match. |  | | |
