New: George Santos interview

[YorkBlade]

George doesn't hold back:

 

[Kenilworth]

He played in that SoccerAid event - must be about 5 years ago - and captained the “home team”
Ken Jnr played a full 90 and had a good chat to Santos afterwards. They were the last two out of the changing room

Oh, and Ken Jnr scored at the Bramall Lane end with a left peg from the edge of the area

It's class- although I was about half an hour in when I realised he meant he and the fans were 'buzzing' not 'boozing', thought you had an exclusive

Really enjoying listening. Cheers guys.

If you watch this, it shows the elbow incident from the Forest game from 3:05 ....

George doesn't hold back:

An interesting interview, but it's sad for me that he came across as almost proud for the foul he put in on Johnson. To still think it was a fair challenge and to have no regrets is embarrasing beyond words. Michael Brown spoke about this recently and said it was a horror tackle. He was on the pitch for 1 minute and did that.

George Santos and Patrick Suffo brought the game into disrepute against WBA, both were a disgrace. Not condoning the elbow that Johnson put in, though Chris Morgan did as bad against the poor Barnsley lad and there's barely a mention of that now. Well done to Warnock for never playing them again.

I've seen the elbow Johnson did and it's bad (you can find it on youtube btw), but presumably if Hume tackled Morgan the same way Santos did, would the blades fans be fine with that as well?

What Santos did was as bad as the Keane tackle on Haaland for me (even though he says it wasn't), it was very nearly career ending and we shouldn't be celebrating violence like this. Really dark day for blades that we should be nothing but ashamed of.

Life is too short to hold on to grudges.

I'd agree with much of that. That tackle and much else in that game certainly showed us in the worst light possible - however I still feel aggrieved that Megson pretty much engineered the situation.

Warnock agreed prior to the game not to play Santos, but Megson wouldn't do likewise with Johnson. Then all that went put of the window with Tracey's straight red.

If Megson had any common sense or decency, the Battle of Bramall Lane would never have happened.

I hear you mate. Megson was out of order for saying we were trying to get the game replayed.

But for me the only people to blame are Santos and Suffo. Two wrongs dont make a right and the game could have ended very differently if Santos didn’t light the fuse with that tackle. Santos even said Warnock had told him to reign it in and he said it was the heat of the moment but like I said he was on the pitch for 1 min. It was obviously premeditated.

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Not going to disagree other than to say if Johnson wasn't on the pitch either there'd have been nothing to pre-meditate. And that's down to Megson.

Is it realistic to think they could never have played against each other ever again? That every club they were at should rest them both every single time they played each other?

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Perhaps not - but the more water that went under the bridge, the less likely a fiasco like that was to happen.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Warnock was very lucky to have not been sacked. That game was a turning point in many ways and led to the triple assault season, where of course we won fuck all.

 

[Kenilworth]

I thought it was a fair tackle
Yellow at most.
Chalk and cheese compared to the Keane Haaland Exocet

He was sacked. He was fired after an emergency board meeting 45 mins after the game ended. He talked his way back into the job over the next 24 hours.

? I didn't know that.

 

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

Santos was a dreadful player. His only consistency was finding touch with every pass. He can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned

Poor George Santos's fortunes have worsened since the Battle Of Bramall Lane.

[Large Mendonca]

Personally I blame Warnock for putting Santos on the pitch. I can’t blame Santos because if Johnson had done that to my face, I’d have broken his fucking neck.
