One word describes today's performance...sorry make that two words.........F****** ABYMSAL.

Even at 2-0 up we were second best but at least we kept them at a distance and they didn't really trouble us.

What was said at half time I really want to know as we came out and performed WORSE.

14 Players disgraced my SHIRT today, yes thats right MY shirt and every other FAN'S shirt. The players lease them shirts WE OWN it, and today not one of them deserved the right to wear it.

I wont say so and so did ok so and so was average and so and so was poor.

They were all F****** POOR.

Seasoned pro's performing like an under 7's team.

It's a long time since I left a Pools game unable to find a positive today I have. Unless we say well we Missed Austin and he has to return soon hopefully then that's the only positive we can take.

Every player and more importantly the MANAGEMENT team need to ask are we good enough, on today it's NO.

INCANDESCENT WITH RAGE, is my mood and I've had couple hours to calm down and still not. We've reached the A1M and Im still furious.

To finish off... TURNER GO NOW.

To all 14 players who DISGRACED the shirt today have a whip round and give every fan their gate money back. It nearly Christmas fans could have used the money in other ways.

I only decided to travel yesterday until then I wasn't going, how i wish I hadn't and i can't EVER remember saying that in all the years I've followed Pools.

Should loan a few out if they dont care about the club and supporters

Austin injured again? He was like that for us, always picking up injuries.

By the way Im sure if you want to send some players over to us feel free! No matter how bad they are for you Im sure they would be an improvement on what we have now!!

I have just got in and Bob you are right it was fuc*ing awful!

Top quality ranting from Fetish Bob on Hartlepool FM earlier.

well nobody twisted your arm to go it was your own choice, maybe you can direct me to where it states that you own the shirts think ive missed that one, what ever happened to lets get behind the lads boo's and slagging off never helps support is what they need all this negitivity can have an adverse effect on the team and i certainly dont want to be watching second division footy next season so i say get to the Vic and get behind the lads

Think you picked the wrong one there to say get to the Vic and get behind the lads. Please note the original post on here about the Southend performance was wrote on a lap top in a car coming home from Roots Hall. Your right no one twisted my arms.So I fork out good money to travel a round trip of 540 miles and I lay down and say nothing when they perform as they did. Maybe you pay £70-£80 for a meal in a restaurant get, s**t food and service and just pay up and walk out do you. Because I forked out that amount on Saturday and wont just accept what I was served up in the name of football.

The shirt statement was a more a metaphor than a factual statement, the shirt does belong to ME YOU AND EVERY OTHER FAN. If you actually thought I meant I personally OWN it maybe I need to put things in a simpler way. In 2/3 years time some of the players will be wearing a different one. I WONT BE, so they only lease them is in a way. Best way I could explain what I wanted to on Saturday.

Check most my posts or ask poster's on here, I'm usually the one backing the lads and the management I CANT AND WONT DEFEND a performance like Saturday's. Does that mean I want to watch League 2 football next season??????????????

I've been on here posting threads getting behind them and encouraging them well that was the "carrot" style of supporting them, after Saturday I decided that the "stick " method warranted a try , and a F****** Good kick up the A*** might work.

See the performance was so bad , over 48 hrs. later I can still get worked up about it.

but apart from that Bob, how did Pools play on Saturday?

On 2nd thoughts we were not as good as I originally posted.

Classic rant Bob. Agree totally with feelings at the moment.
