Bob Peters Composure and Apparent Carson Issue - We Should Be a Family Friendly Club

DMC

Yes I know that there is a thread for each but I think there is a bigger issue here that should be taken seriously.

I understand that BP was getting excited in the moment and was showing passion, but Chris Powell (and Jose Riga to an extent as well) showed a huge amount of passion without charging provocatively towards the opposition manager. In what should be a family friendly club the manager has a responsibility because he is who the younger folk look up to. It gets worse when he refuses to apologize for his part in the spat, I dont care what the Wigan manager said BP should be acting the "bigger man". I know we don't have "the gentleman of football" managing us anymore but I don't want a manager who gets himself into petty disputes so hopefully this will be the first and last.

As for the second incident, obviously it goes without saying that it was an appalling one and I hope Carson doesn't take a disliking to Charlton fans because of it. If it was a one off incident then I wouldn't be too bothered but there have been more incidents over the last year than normal for us and I think we as a club need to take more responsibility over our own actions. Moments like this can take the gloss off wonderful performances.

Im interested to know what you think.

Agree with the second part, but cant agree with first

Why didn't anyone around the spitting man say something? We should police each other.

Agree with you there Paulie.

Why?

cafc4life

Well done peeters for doing so . Don't like rosler the miserable bastard.good to see some passion from our new manager. As for the Carson incident hope the accused gets banned for life.

OsamaBenHamer

I don't care what anyone says, it would've literally been impossible for him to control himself in that situation. I am personally glad we finally have a manager who shows so much passion. Too many times in recent years we have just rolled over when it comes to local derbies and big games, and I think with Bob that will begin to change.

Bob Peeters get in son well done.

It was a great moment but why did he run towards the away end??

JOKaneCAFC

Can we also stop having swear words in our chants? Oh and while we are at it, I'll appreciate it if we didn't do any slide tackles as I don't want my son trying to copy that in school, somebody could get hurt.

ShootersHillGuru

Nothing wrong with a bit of fire in your belly. Good on ya Bob.

Considering Carson applauded the charlton fans as soon as the final whistle went, I doubt he took particular offence to the whole club, just a small minority.

"Charging provocatively" is such an over statement of what peters did. From what I saw he ran on the pitch and in direction of away dugout with hands aloft in celebration mood.
Don't see how that is in conjunction with "charging provocatively"

soapy_jones

Spitting disgraceful and hopefully will be dealt with accordingly by the club. Come on, the Peeters thing was a bit of passion as alluded to and admitted by the man himself.

Why have some of our support got to be so wet?

Brendan_O_Connell

If bob does what he did today when we score a last minute winner on November 22nd he will go down in charlton folk law!!

cafc4life

Cos like the rest of us he was buzzing off his face and lost his head for a few seconds. It happens

Honestly don't think Bob had any intention of antagonising Rosler or the Wigan bench.

He said afterwards he just started running and did not know what way to go

No certainly not but he should have run towards his own fans. I just don't see why he didn't apologize for that after.

Will be absolutely fantastic to see a team go out v Millwall and not roll over to have its tummy tickled like we usually do. I get the feeling that we have the players that might actually turn up and compete.

He regrets it now and has so much as said he will learn from it and not do it again. I'm sure it wasn't premeditated. It was his first home league win against a playoff team from last season and one of the favourites to go up this season he just took off without thinking of the consequences. No big deal we need to move on.

Second point, despicable act that we don't need at our club find the culprit and punish accordingly.

RedMist

think Bob is bang on, for too long we've been nice little Charlton, about time we kicked some arses!

Huskaris

The managers situation is just handbags and a bit embarassing from both to be honest, you can be passionate without being a bellend.

As for the Carson incident, words cant describe how moronic that person clearly is, hopefully he is having a word with himself as we speak, and a ban will be swift, and it will be righteous. *Fist bangs table*

I think he was mainly saying he wasnt going to apologise for getting angry with Rosler at full time. Can see what you're saying, I'm sure he regrets running in that direction but I reckon questions at the press conference were more aimed at the FT incident.

He did:

“In that moment, I need to be smarter and just step away. I lost my composure a bit.

“I apologise before my players that I lost my composure. I need to be strong in every moment, but I’m not going to apologise to him because he said things to me. Never ever.”

Rest assured the Millwall games and the cup games will be much more exciting this year

Massively unfair to link the two incidents in any sort of way.

Ok thank you I didnt see that. However my point still stands that if he had apologised he would have put the wigan bloke to shame and shown his integrity.

You'd hope so but I've learnt never to expect anything from Charlton against Millwall.
