Ian Holloway gave a rather strange post match interview.
Blackpool manager ian Holloway has said on more than one occasion this season that he doesnt care what other people think about him that he is focussed on keeping Blackpool in the Premiership, add that to the fact that he clearly wasnt interested in the FA Cup given the wholesale changes he made and its a little weird why he was so wired up in his post match comments.
What seems to have upset Ollie is the fact that the Saints fans chanted "Premiership your having a laugh" now out of all the chants that fly around football grounds this is probably one of the least offensive and gets an airing whenever a non Premier side meet a top flight big boy and even Blackpool for that matter.
If Holloway is going to get upset about that song in a game that he has clearly set his stall out in, that he is not bothered about then he is heading for a nervous breakdown.
Perhaps he harbours a grudge against Saints for sending his Leicester side down to League 1 a few seasons ago, obviously this led to his sacking and trying times for him and his family, but that is football and certainly no mention of it was made on Saturday.
In fact the offending chant wasnt aired that often that I remember, Saints supporters showed respect for Blackpool players, one small booing of Jason Euell on his first touch apart, indeed Brett Ormerod was given a standing ovation when he left the pitch.
I think that Hollaway is a little miffed at his reputation in the game, he is known as a hot head and a loose cannon, perhaps he feels that football in general doesnt give him the respect he feels he deserves for getting Blackpool to the top flight and i think he probably does have a point there, but to rant and rave as he did at Saints after the game will win him no friends and in fact will turn his club from being everyones favourite team in the premier to being hated, of course plaudits dont equal points and in turn Premiership survival, but on the other hand Holloway would be best to keep quiet get on with his job and let his team do the talking on the pitch, at the end of the season if Blackpool stay up he can take pride in a job well done, if they dont then I suspect that deep down he knows his best season is now in his past.
