Adkins' dig at the supporters?

I absolutely agree with Adkins.

I think players in the professional game who genuinely don't care are few and far between.

Our lads at Oakwell looked gutted when the final whistle went.

Oh ok, there's me thinking that they didn't care. Perhaps they just need to be less shit then

The alternative to that is that they are actually decent players and they do care... But we have an incompetent manager?

Or perhaps they only care in the cups

Ooh look, someone behaving like an utter flange, go you.

I preferred your work when you were Barnyblade if I'm totally honest.

You seem to have tried to step up a notch on the wumming scale with the Trueblade persona and it hasn't worked.

Bring back Barn.

I think its a little unfair, Adkins is the manager of a football club, he has to do these press conferences. I'm sure he'd prefer not to and he can only answer the questions he's asked

I think there are two problems, ie they are all at best very mediocre league one players and also that they do not care about much other than a massive wage.

Yeah they were pissed off that they didn't get their win bonus to spend on a trip to Dubai, instead they went to Dublin....

Probably though it was the same place but couldn't figure out why it was cheaper

What if they lost ? Donny ,Darnall ?

Maybe some of the lads at Darnall can kick some sense into them

Can't help thinking Jim should have got a twitter vote going on this.

You are joking aren't you!

Did our manager actually say that!

He must surely have realised how out of context some fans would take this in an effort to rubbish him!!!!!!!

I must say I am quite literally fuming!!!!

When I first read that I thought the suggestion was that Adkins had said "they don't care" referring to the fans, which sounded nonsense to suggest he said it.

Turns out it's nonsense. Far be it from me to suggest the way the quote has been presented in the OP has been done in a way to be ambiguous and cast a negative slant on the comment, but here's what was actually said:

"It's easy to to throw the comment in, 'oh people don't care'. Believe you me – I care. And the players we have at this football club, I demand that they go and care."

Personally I thought it was one of his better interview moments, free from any Adkinsisms and with a genuine feel. 09:48 for those that want to listen to the actual sentence:

It is too simplistic to say they don’t care. That is the overall impression you get watching as fans but in reality, even in a kick about with your mates, everyone who plays football has a competitive side and wants to win and cares about it. I think the bigger problem is that they are not matching or exceeding opponents for effort, dedication, bravery etc. bar a handful. That doesn’t mean they don’t care at all. It probably does mean they don’t care enough.

I'd have stuck with my other if it hadn't have fucked up. Foxy's getting it sorted, looks as though he's been busy recently though.

It's not like a Rotherham fan to take something out of context, they are usually such straight talking and honest folk.

Would you like to explain how I'm "wumming"?

My new account 'Barney' is awaiting confirmation and the transfer of stats from barnyblade actually.

As I've explained, this one is temporary while it gets sorted, it will be gone soon.

Bloody hell Barn, you'll have more accounts than Harry Redknapp's dog at this rate.

Heard a couple of ex players saying exactly that on the radio a couple of days ago.

Not about us, just generally about teams where it looks like the players don't care.
