Russell Martin

Gordon Brown did similar. Possibly with Martin a 'tell' that he's going to blame something or someone for his failings.

He's just trying to remember the name of a player he hasn't thrown under the team bus for a while.

In his post match press conference he said Bruges had some dangerous attacks… they played Genk.

That's why doesn't see how bad his team were. He's busy watching other teams on his laptop. Just checked and Bruges scored 5 goals Wednesday in the Belgian league. So yes he is correct.

"Terry Vegetables" was a name a Rangers supporter I worked with called him

The bloke’s a fraud. (This thread’s been going on for a while, so I may have said that before. Apologies if it’s a ferdie.)

Yes, Gordon did a right to left jaw shift before speaking.

Martin will be packing up his bags as we speak. Livingston on their plastic pitch is his worst nightmare; it's as bad as the old AstroTurf down the Morfa Stadium. Fail to win on Sunday and he's gone, unfortunately.

Another mildly annoying Russ mannerism is the way his mouth moves like he’s just finished eating a mouthful of cashew nuts, as can be seen here.

Perhaps he’s gurning after a quick bit of sniff

Why the hatred? Is he a despicable person in his personal life? Is he the worst manager that we've had in the last 20 years? (Answer is No. Not even close.) Why the daily comments from people who are hoping that he'll lose his job?

 

[Glyn1]

Why are we even bothering to think about him?

Hate is probably a bit strong, Glyn. I don’t have links to his personal life, only to elements of social life, through football. And when it comes to football, he’s one of the worst we’ve had, all things considered. Hence he gets some negative press. I’m sure that he couldn’t give a toss as he takes giant strides forward towards a bumper redundancy cheque.

I think most people are hoping he hangs on to his job a little bit longer, it’s far more entertaining than the football.

A lot of it is probably a reaction to the kind of hagiographic adulation that he was held in by his supporters during his time here and how they would brook no dissent on the topic.

What a "top bloke" and "nice guy" he was, when it seemed pretty obvious from early on that he was an arrogant, thin skinned pillock who only had his own best interests to serve and had no loyalty to us as a club and certainly not to his players. That part of his character is coming through louder than a Concorde takeoff at the moment.

It's only natural for people to enjoy the utter shattering of his reputation and the discomfort of others who have gone very, very quiet on the subject over the last twelve months or so.

Can't think of any other manager that would have survived here with his appalling record of something like 3 wins in 20 odd games, and I'm sure 1 of those was against 10 men.
