Agree with WB, have yet to come across any bench that doesn't have a good old whinge now and again. Saw it from both Ampthill and Hanwell on Saturday. TBH I found Perry quite amusing, but can see why others don't.

Forums would be pretty boring if we only asked questions that effected someone's life.

Very true, just seemed logical that one pointless question would follow another

Didn't say that I enjoy football chat and debate but all this moaning and whinging and mud slinger and acting holier than thou is duuuuullll.

Perry also leaves it all 'on the pitch' I've seen other benches and teams carry it on through after, in the club house and on social media (in a pretty embarrassingly vile way FOR WEEKS after) never came on here and complained about it or moan just ignored the divs. The 90 minutes should be a battlefield after that it's over. As I say though people are dead soft and sensitive these days.

I have been to a lot of games over all three of these divisions and UCL and Hellenic etc.. including games involving Winslow United. My 50p worth on the matter is the managers and benches are all the same pretty much, no better no worse, there are a few thugs in there for sure and it's these ones I have a problem with. It seems to me people seem to think if they post a dig at the opposition first that means they are right. Kings Langley who I have seen three times this season do love a moan, they are a good side and will go very close this year. Perry loves a scream and shout but it tends to be the referee and his own players who bare the brunt. Let me tell you there is no team that I have watched that can point the finger at another, glass houses and all that. Just get on with it.

I have to agree that Perry 'leaves it on the pitch', and is one of the most pleasant 'bench occupant' in the bar afterwards.

 

However, the question has to be asked is whether his abuse - and potentially intimidation - of officials, is acceptable or not? In my view, far too often - he 'crosses the line'.

Any abuse is unacceptable to anyone. Managers in general go mad when something does not go their way. When they get challenged they usually respond with foul language.

Far too often?

 

Do you watch us that regularly then or are you just going on hearsay?

If you want to deal in cold hard facts Perry has been sent off once which means in the eyes of officials he has 'crossed the line once' hardly often now is it? Where as on the other hand the Buckingham Manager has been sent off 3 times so who would you say is worse?

 

However I never see anyone criticizing the Buckingham Manager or any other Manager come to that, especially to the extent that Perry is

 

I feel Perry gets a lot of criticism that other managers/clubs seem to escape, unfortunately in the modern world everyone loves a scapegoat and unfortunately for us and Perry it appears to be him

100% agree I see players regularly screaming expletives at refs and managers too, and not any one manager more than any other so for people to come one here in a witch hunt seems a bit wrong to me. I feel there has to be a little leeway for frustration but refs should be protected to be able to take more action then it might stop.

Posting overlap, wasn't responding to yours, which I agree with.

 

Next week it will be a different manager and so on. Like you say forums/ social networks now give platforms to whinge about others whinging

Isn't Berkhamsted a bit off the beaten track for you

Just a shame that a game this big is on a Tuesday and not a Saturday, the midweek games tend to get a smaller crowd by about 40%.
