  • Can someone put his interview up or point me to where it is please ?
  • It's ridiculous. Grown men frothing at the mouth to another human being.
    "It's football. Pay me money, Can say what I f******g like" You'll hear them chirp
    Remind me again what other working environment in the UK would any sort of vocal abuse be allowed let alone the kind of vitriol that is served up week after week to football players and managers?
    The bloke is there to do a job. Having some buffoon wallowing obscenities at you the whole time you're trying to do it must make it almost impossible.
    I get it's hard to police a whole stadium but there's no reason a couple of security guards can't be stationed next to every dugout who can turf out these clowns when they over step the mark.
    Times have changed. It's not on.
    On I assume near minimum wage that seems unlikely to me. We aren’t a club that has such routine bad behaviour that seems to require much more than stewarding. 

    I’d have thought that generally peer pressure from fellow supporters keeps it in check / within normal boundaries in the context of a football atmosphere. I assume the seats near our dugouts are mostly long term season ticket holders. 
  • Perhaps we would be happier just standing there with his hands in his pockets!
    Going to be a rollercoaster ride- hopefully many more ups than downs

    Agreed

  • I think when Nathan says he’s learnt about himself properly in the context of receiving abuse then he probably is admitting that he would like not to be affected by abuse but currently he is. Healthily for him he wears his heart on his sleeve and hopefully will learn that you can choose how you respond, to what is put before you and if that is an abusive person then you can choose how you respond to that. We can all learn late in life that the best response to abuse is indifference.

    According to many Charlton critics if you can't give personal abuse to players or managers you are WOKE.

    Many of you must do the fire drill escape especially at away matches after inept displays and individual mistakes have led to defeat if you haven't seen Mr Angry and his side kicks frothing at the mouth, with bulging eyeballs and telling the players to "fuck off" if they attempt to clap the away 'fans'/ haters. 

    I have said my bit on the Match thread about Nathan Jones and his rant and personally I feel he has been unsettled by the potential interest by Cardiff. Mentioned by a reporter on the BBC and Jason Mohammed the Cardiff fan presenter said that could be interesting! 
    This could be a false rumour but it's doing the rounds.
    Nathan Jones is a unique sensitive, slightly bonkers man who believes in God. He listens to voices and they upset him unless they say he will be going to heaven.
    For Charlton fans let's call Heaven, the Championship!

    It's finding the balance between deserved criticism about the turgid nature of 8 of our performances including the wins and loses, yet Cafc look top 6 against Bolton and Birmingham. What a paradox.

    Hopefully everyone kisses and makes up and this variety of 4-4-2 which caught the leaders out leads to more enjoyment performances and wins.

    Got the impression in his interview that he wasn’t just angry at the fans who abused him though.
    Sounded like something had gone on behind the scenes, referring on several occasions to learning a lout about his staff and team.
    He said members of staff had come out of the woodwork saying "I told you so" etc. Can't imagine they'll stick around long, unless it's Andy Scott.
  • Sounds like he is getting excuses in before jumping ship to a certain club in Wales

    if you want the praise, you have to take the criticism

    am caveating that with,if it is personal abuse that is not on, but if it is ‘what the fuck are you doing’ abuse, then that is part of the role you are doing

    He's currently 12/1 Skybet 6th favourite for the Cardiff job, i'd be surprised if he gets it but if you think he's going the odds are very generous.

  •  Cardiff do seem to have taken an age to appoint a new manager, im guessing it will happen over the international break.

    As the old saying goes, the next 2 weeks could be crucial.
  • All seems a bit unecessary exaggerated to me. The team has been awful in recent games and when that happens, sometimes fans have a bit of a vent. That’s football and happens at every club. He knows that, he’s been in the game long enough. Charlton’s fan base is far from being the most toxic so let’s not kick ourselves too much. 

    The fans were singing his name at Stevenage and again before and at the start of the game yesterday. 

    He’s a chippy fella, reckon he must fall out with people all the time. Digging out fans after a spell of the team being universally awful just seemed an unnecessary move to me, but hey ho, that’s his character 
    Exactly this!!!  

    It depends on the level of "abuse"

    Fans have every right to "criticise" the team & Jones for recent performances but personal "abuse" is not ok

    Jones is a confrontational character. It won't be the first or last time he falls out with the fan base.  He will constantly divide opinion

    But that interview is tame compared to some comments posted here which must be from a general press interview as opposed to the Club interview.
  • It sounds like he’s suggesting there has been internal noise about his team selections. Maybe too there has been contact from Cardiff and we are holding out for what they see as excessive compensation and he’s getting frustrated by that hence suggesting there is another job he can walk into but that’s just me summising, maybe.
  • It sounds to me he is fed up with the idiots who pile down to the front during games and give him a load of verbal, the usual kind of stuff, the f*** you , the C*** you, the you do not what you are doing you bastard  type thing.
    I doubt very much the Cardiff owners are looking to him, more like some unknown overseas manager that is the modern way.
