Caller (Mark) on BBC Radio Tees

Couldn't help but laugh when listening to him.

We weren't amazing, but 3-1 wouldn't have flattered us today.
If not for their keeper playing an absolute blinder, we'd have been out of sight.
 
Their keeper O Leary played a worldy. Very impressed by his reflexes and his alertness. No wonder he was shouting at his defense. Any other keeper and we would have won that game easily . Hackney, Mcgree,Forss and Chuba tested him plenty with no luck . Great goalkeeping performance and in my opinion man of the match
 
I not having that from that idiot on Tees. We were night and day better than the last home game. Hackney (particularly) always looking forward, and Howson were excellent in centre mid. Yes their keeper was catching flies but it's interesting that keepers having a worldie at our place is not at all unusual. Two or three of those 23 chances should have been buried.
 
Iā€™ve always thought that Given that he is always first on the line that he must call long before the match is over so he must make up his mind well before the game finishes so itā€™s what ever agenda he feels like setting. Heā€™s not responding hi to the match heā€™s responding to his pre defined prejudices.

Hereā€™s his call next week

ā€œYes Norwich played well but we were all over the shop Hackney isnā€™t good enough for this level and I donā€™t rate mcgree for me carrick is the wrong man at the wrong time we need an experienced manager in. ā€œ
 
he is one of those types that accuses people of wearing rose tinted specs so they can claim excellent football vision when it goes wrong, but wonā€™t eat humble pie when itā€™s going wellā€¦

maddo dealt with him greatly and showed him respect but basically said he was talking rubbishā€¦
 
I will just say we are a point above the drop zone, failed to beat a poor Bristol City and had obvious shortcomings yesterday.

Of course we should have won on the basis of chances, and there were obvious pluses in the form of Hackney and Howson in partnership, the return to form of Fry and another goal for the reborn Akpom.
But 1-1 is what happened and that is what we are at the moment, a point a game and in a battle.
 
Whilst it was disappointing that we did not take all 3 points, you would need to be a serious pessimist to not take some positives from that performance. Bet Mark is a real joy to be around.

As I say heā€™s been calling for years he used to call Ali, and Is always first on. I donā€™t believe he goes.

Heā€™s a ā€œrealistā€ apparently.
