The prematch interview on Tees was self serving cobblers too.

Amazing that he took credit for 'resting Mani D' which according to him made him more aggressive.

I'm pretty sure if Madine hadn't got injured Mani wouldn't have had a sniff of a game until seventy minutes.

That sounded well dodgy in the pre match interview, making the best out of the situation.

He was saying last week that Mani wasn't putting in enough tackles, this week it was 'rested'. It was clear that Madine isn't anywhere near his level, saying he is rested is an insult to all of us.

You might be pretty sure, But i,m absolutly certain he would not have got on till much later, And Snarll would have been sacked.

Have you seen how big his nose is getting!

Madine ain’t fit, full stop.

The hapless Sarll should be chased out of our club ASAP regardless of and/or because of today's performance/result. It was obvious to the 3k+ home fans precisely what needs to be done - if Raj cannot (or will not) see that too then there really is no hope for the future of HUFC.

I really hope they sack this useless doyle.

Has to be sacked he lucked his way into the right players/formation today and he’s too stupid to take advantage of it

He absolutely did stumble into having the right players on, it was fortune not design. Surely people in the club can see that, the first half alone warranted digging out his P45. If the fans can see it I'm really hoping the powers that be can see it.
The only thing I can see it being is its a human thing, it's a bloke struggling with the job and his employers are trying to do the right thing by him and give him a chance.

He's said he's managed all over the world in his brilliant 20 years career.
And never known abuse like yesterday and didn't react to it for fear of going to jail.

Got a massive chip on his shoulder and really does hate our fans.

Simple solution is resign. You got all the skills to walk into anutha job.
Absolute bullshitting crack again.
Sarly Out.

First sentence spot on Bobby.

Second sentence is IMO down to his contract protecting his employment and not the club trying to do the right thing.
As the right thing would of been to scatter him like all the other previous managers.
Even JA was scattered after signing a 3 year contract.

As fans I reckon we have a right to know what Sarlys contract is. Ye.
All previous managers have never had a contract that was kept from the fans.

Maybe radio Tees can do a bit of digging and let us know because they Deffo do read SM.
UTP.

What does he expect, sitting above the relegation zone, poor tactics and bizarre team selections dropping our 2 top scorers, maybe it’s his get out clause, walked away because of the personal abuse from the fans.

Comments about the abuse he said he received.

Typical bully boy can dish it out but does not like it when it’s hurled back at him
May I suggest you just fark off back down south and play the hard man

He claims he coached at Millwall and never got that abuse ? Did millwall fans even know who he was ? They are hardly going to be abusing the assistant to the reserve team cone carrier !

I do think he’s feeling the pressure this is by far the biggest job in his career for all his mouth, and we’ve gone from ‘direct it at me not the players I can take it’. To ‘it’s over the line and if I give some back I’ll be in jail’ in the space of a week!
Not such a clever Dick now it seems…

I would like him to succeed but just can’t see it the way he is going

A bit of abuse should be nothing to man with his huge ego and massive experience in the game. He knows what the crowd can be like. He has managed a winning side here. Calling the fans clever dicks wasn't the wisest. Pretending you are the worlds best football tactician and you know best when your team is on the slide isn't wise. You can't pick the best players as they don't play goofball isn't wise. Your post match summaries are nonsense based on what we have all just watched. Just not very wise. Don't come across as a fucking know all, football genius who spent a few months at a premier league club. Come across as someone with some empathy for the players and yourself because you are learning Darren. If you were the finished article you wouldn't be here. If it was as simple as hoofing the ball towards goal fifa wouldn't have fucking badges. Wise up or fuck off.

yesterday it showed that being a clever dick means you can pick a better pools side than being a thick arrogant dick can. laughed when he said he told the players that they were booing him rather than them. as if they didn,t know that already. cannot think of a single player who has ever got total abuse like him and there is usually at least one fan fighting their corner.

spare a thought for him as his favourite hunter is injured and his big hope the goal madine is now injured. he,ll slit his throat if the other sarll favourite mr.undroppable fergy gets crocked this week.

Body likes a big head. Simple as that. The players will be the same. The board who hired him should learn from this. Why did they think this was the type of personality we needed at the club?

Nobody rather

Just waiting for some clever dick to say Man Utd stuck with Fergy after a bad start.

So the self-styled hard man is actually turning out to be a soft lad as his tenure extends well beyond his natural exit date. If Sarll seriously didn't expect the level ofabuse that he received when Pools went 2-0 down yesterday then he is also away with the fairies. He was fortunate that we didnt go 3 down as the whole of the Vic would have erupted into a seething rage targeted directly at Sarll. If he cannot handle a bit of stick from the fans then he is in the wrong career and definitely in the wrong 'hard' town. Best to do one - please make it sharpish Uncle Darren.

He’s David Brent in real life….claims he loves the banter and can take the abuse, then cries about it a week later
Everything is about him, when he is sacked (hopefully soon) I expect some of the stories that come out about him and how he’s behaved will be horrifying and hilarious in equal measure

I heard him mention Millwall, I've just consulted professor Gary Google and can find no mention of him being at Millwall does anyone know any better or is it just fantasy?

Maybe he coached brentford u15s AT Millwall ?

He’s a classic example of Dunning Kruger effect, or more simply someone who’s own incompetence leads to the mistaken belief he knows more than he does

Billy Liar or Walter Mitty?

HE stated last week Joe & Manni needed a rest, So this week they must have been deemed NOT good enough to start, Because of our super tactical performance last week,Against FGRs.
Guess what, They and the rest came on and turned the game on its head, He then tried to claim it was his tactical prowess that saved the day.
His NOSE gets bigger every interview.

He claimed to begin with he was ‘sick and tired’ of players not running and the fgr team was a 2024 recruitment team and basically his tea

Later he starts talking about rests etc
His problem is he talks so much self serving shite he can’t keep up with it.

1st half was his team, 2nd what we could have (which wasn’t perfect especially defensively but so much better) if he was shown the door

Over to Raj…

I got up to 3.25 then decided to turn it off because the level of bullshit he was coming out with was so out of line with reality. He’s just taking managerial autopilot bullshit.
“Yeah, no. Impactfulness. In my 20 plus years. The lads’ done well. Yeah, no. Sniff. Wipes nose on hand”.

possibly the only times he,s been in the den is paying at the gate. somewhere else they do not like bullshitters and a club he would not have lasted long at even working in their club shop.

Despite that win he looked a broken man, subdued and feeling sorry for himself all game and in his interview. Definitely get the impression he doesn't like it at pools now. I don't know what he expects, with our record under him and some of his baffling decisions any clubs fans would be giving him grief, unfortunately it's part of the job he's in so it can't come as a surprise. He is 100% not the man for this job.

Man Utd stuck with Fergy after a bad start.

And Fergu hadn't managed Millwall either. Nor had any top flight or premier league experience. Apart from Scotland and it's a 2 horse race up there. He'd won nowt had he? There's no comparison. You're not comparing like for like. Darren's on a different level.

Snarll history Playing/Managing
As you will see he was at Brentford, Thing is Brentford were in Division 2 at the time, Not the Prem Lge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Sarll

Think Fergy had won the European Cup Winners Cup hadn't he with Aberdeen and the legendary Cooperman.

Too be a good liar you have to remember your lies...Billy Bullshit Sarll.

It's strange but it would appear that for around the last year now footballers and managers etc start to answer a question with this " Yeah, no crap " and it seems just in football.

Weird how he says he did not enjoy the win because we conceded 3 goals.

Seems like he gets off on 0 0s n even 1 0 Defeats. Proper Sarly performances.

I actually thought he was Gunna start crying.
Oh let people feel sorry for me because I'm not man enough to take a little bit of criticism.
Ya know we're the train station back to bullshiters city is.
Do One.

Yeah, that was a bit fucked up, he seemed to enjoy the FGR defeat more. Reading between the lines it'll be back to Sarllball.

He probably thinks we are so far ‘up north’ that were as thick as pig shit about goings on in that there London…..
At times it feels we’re part of some bizarre experiment to test out his theory of football, as he think's it should be played.
We can’t afford to humour the bloke anymore, ship him out.

Cockneys can get away with bullshitting each other.
But can't get away with bullshitting Hartlepudlians.
We a hard town that don't take to being insulted to lightly.
Change fast or Fcuk off.
Don't take the piss anymore like ya did out of Raj obviously on ya contract negotiations or ya would of been well gone.
UTP.

will he drop manny d from the squad for scoring a hat trick something he thinks should be banned from the game. like fans i imagine the players got more out of a win like that than a 1 nil grind out.

Listened to his latest offering and he honestly did sound like he was going to cry!

Little sympathy really - he was giving it the big one only a couple of weeks ago- saying that he would rather be criticised than the team, as he could take it.

Then last week he calls anyone who disagrees with him a 'clever dick'. And all this despite having the best squad of players we've had in years- yet clearly lacks the ability and nous to get the best out of them.

If Uncle Darren wants to stay - he needs to drop the Billy Bullshit act, and be a bit more humble. Whilst giving us the attacking football (particularly at home- in our Manor) that we want given the players at his disposal. After all most of us lifers have forgotten more than he actually knows.

What is acceptable at Dads n Lads clubs like Stevenage, Yeovil & Woking (all relatively affluent areas), does NOT wash with us Poolies.
It's means a hell of a lot more. Football in the North East, is almost a religion - so give us what we want, show us some respect and you'll be fine.

Alternatively continue with the bullshit and disrespecting the fanbase and you will be run out of town - the choice is yours, Uncle Darren

we are a bit like scousers where the game is still more or less a working mans game where they want to see their team win well and will never take bullshit from anybody.

If it wasn’t Brackley and a potential opportunity to look at a couple others, he would play the starting second half team.

He did after we improved significantly at Boston, and his post match presser after Saturday he says the issue is that we have seen this before where the second half is a lot better, he starts the same team and then play terribly again in the first half of the next. In fairness to him, we have seen a level of inconsistency since we’ve been back in the NL, no matter the combination of players - pools can be brilliant and shite at equal measure week to week. We still conceded THREE goals at home.

The starting XI on Saturday also didn’t shock me - he was happy with the performance at Forest Green and he has always said that he will play whichever combinations that provide the best product. He wasn’t happy with the product of Grey and Mani D after Rochdale, so scrapped them. The second half on Saturday was like Pools with the shackles off, though. Another Darren Sarll’ism is to say whether the performance ‘felt like a Darren Sarll performance’ but it didn’t - it felt more like a KP footballing performance as we moved the ball and created chances.

I don’t think Darren Sarll is the right man for the Pools job but can take his points re turning up and doing his best to support his family. I was in the CK and there was a fair bit of boo’ing and mud slinging but nothing I could see was beyond anything we’ve seen before. Of course, it’ll be a bit different at Stevenage, Yeovil and Woking. He’s not going to be making much from this gig and if he is sacked, he’s not going to have many more places to go from there. A perilous and stress inducing situation for any working person to be a knife edge away from unemployment. The issue is that the Woking fans have warned of this attitude and behaviour from Uncle Darren so it makes it harder to feel sorry for him.

One of the things that stood out to me early on was when he was referring to the players like children. ‘If they’ve been good boys’ was something he said about a good performance or a win, because the alternative was they would be in a lot of trouble. I can’t see this resonating with 18 professional footballers. It felt very David Brent. In the same way referring to yourself in the third person as Uncle Darren, and saying you wanted the players to care for him as he would care for them. Along with some stuff about being sacrificial to the cause and teamship - I can see how it can go from very good to very bad quite quickly
