I don’t know about the rest of you but if I apologise to someone or vice versa I am expecting that it is not going to happen again or at least anytime soon so it really irks me that after a shite performance the players come out and and do exactly that and we hear all this crap about it not being to the required level and the fans deserve better and blah, blah, blah.
With the frequency it is happening this season it is becoming clear that some are giving their all but are simply not good enough to play at a high sustained level in this competition; I am not going to name names as a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link and while it is not always the same link there always seems to be a couple there.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word. Apart from that Welsh train station

Are you asking if it's too late now to say sorry?

Why even take notice of their apologies? it's always just PR stuff to appear like they care anyway. Most of it's not even written by them either.

Its a recent style from our players to look cool on the Social media. Don't think they mean any of it, because, like you say, if they were really sorry, then they wont continue the same mistake again and again and again.....

Sorry it won't happen again. The PR teams of our players must have this message saved ready to go, - they just update the opposition each week. No one cares anymore

Was really sad when he died in Rocky V but at least his son was able to carry on his legacy.

Like we said in the other thread of this kind, they can put it right by winning the next games. The words have become empty now and they've kept on losing and performing badly afterwards.

You can see from the league player stats there's no attempt to even put this right, they're bottom of the league. Has nothing to do with Ronaldo or any light to non pressing forward. They all get bypassed pretty much 99% of the time.

Can one apologise for being not good enough? For lacking effort, perhaps yes. But not for lacking quality. Some of our players lack composure and intelligence on /off the ball. That’s the reality.

We're so sorry, uncle Ole
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry, uncle Ole
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I'm gonna rain
We're so sorry, but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, uncle Ole
But if anything should happen
We'll be sure to give a ring
We're so sorry, uncle Ole
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry, uncle Ole
But the kettle's on the boil
And we're so easily called away
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie
Butter pie?
The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around
(Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground, live a little, get around
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around
(Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground, live a little, get around
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky

Ole is making them come out an apologise. Like little boys. It's just another symptom of his inability to manage at this level. A proper manager would make changes to the subpar performing team, not play the exact same one the following week.
Do you have any evidence to underpin this new line of attack?

I want a CEO of BP style apology video after that shit show on Sunday. That would make everything alright again.

Not sure what you're sorry about, but it's cool, I forgive you.

Stay blessed ✌

Yes, the manager is responsible for choosing who is on press duties after the game. Same way he's responsible for choosing who goes into the pre match pressers with him.

Do we know he force feeds them lines to say? What about the players' apologies on social media?
Do you think that in the dressing room after the game the manager didn't once mention apologising to the supporters? You reckon he didn't say it at all completely ignored the supporters?

What I was getting at is do we really need what is pretty much a cul-de-sac of a thread descending into yet another Ole whingefest. I thought he was too busy taking selfies with fans to be bothered about apologising to them anyway.

Everybody needs a little time Ole
I heard them say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I don't want you to stay

After all that we've been through
I can't make it up for you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can let go

Oh, you're sorry,
So sorry,
And you want it back the way it was.
Well I'm sorry,
But sometimes sorry,
Just ain't good enough.
