feck off and don't come back!

Derek not happy with recent criticism from the Herald and an ex- player (Nardiello?).

Dezza has banned the 'erald and Plymuff live from his press conferences.

30% Transparency or less.

Maybe they'll have some bollocks to start questioning the club now

On Pispoti, De-Lar actually has a collection of Plymouth Live screen-shots collated over time. How unbelievably and tragically sad.

Is there nothing he won't harvest, garner or screen-shot for his Terabytes of dossiers to use as nefarious ammunition?

I've never seen anything so tragic!

That has totally made my day!

The guy is an absolute laughing stock

If  Nardiello's comments were out of order, DA should have refuted them. As he has instead decided to take the Throw-my-toys-out-of-the-pram attitude, it seems clear the comments were justified.

What's clear from these and previous reactions to critisism is that DA can't deal with negative comments-a sure sign of someone not confident in himself.

He should also remember that alienating the local media heaps pressure on a manager and can often be seen as the beginning of the end at a club.

Derek really is the Jose M of the lower leagues not only with tactics but dealing with the media.
Whatever you do don't boo him or the players - he doesn't like it.

Is there a cherry-picker on the mankover site?

I have said from gleening what Adams has said to the herald Errington seems to have been getting under his skin lately

I put Adams terse responses to Erringtons humdrum Herald questions down to him just being a dour characterless Scotsman with zero charisma or sense of humour.

He clearly doesn’t like criticism in any shape or form either, it seems.

Christ they got a poll and 5 page thread on the farm asking if Adams was right to ban them,

You sad wankers,

The other week it was the chairman moaning about social media comments and this week we have adams doing the same with the local crap paper being banned from asking questions.

The shut up and support the club or you will be banned continues....

LOL. I voted.

If Adams thinks he's getting stick now, wait until the end of the season when the clubs back in Brents Basement.

Very poor from Adams and the club. Is the club really so thinned-skinned that they can't take some criticisms from fans and an ex-player?

This is an attempt to control the local media, even one as usually supine as the Herald. Makes me worry even more that there's some bad news down the road and they're trying to reign in the press as much as possible before it breaks!

What other clubs have done this? I can think of Ashley and Newcastle, hardly the sort of chairman you want to be mimicking!

That's the worrying thing,
It seems like
You can't boo the team or call Adams/ An other, shit inside the ground,
You can't boo the team or call Adams/ An other, shit on social media or on here,

This shut up and support, don't ask difficult questions I might cry attitude, is just going to further split the fanbase,

We've already got Here vs the farm, anyone who criticises vs the happy-clappy avivas,

Now we've got some third rate, clueless, tactic less ,got lucky, would have been sacked years ago anywhere else, Scotsman vs the local rag.

I'm sorry Del, but you can't just bury your head in the sand,

The opinions won't just go away and its gonna make you look weak further when you have to climb down in the future,

The club isn't helping itself by not putting someone else up for the Herald to speak to instead of the thin skinned scotsman,
Wotton etc,

Shit all thats just got me banned from the ground, feck

They do seem to be very thin skinned. It all started with the club trying to control social media via pasoti and this has now moved onto the local press.

Plymouth Argyle Snowflakes On The Internet.

Macauley banned the Herald for the same reason. At the time they were only stating the obvious that the club then was struggling and he didn't like it. They were right though. Adams comes across as a primadonna and as wound up as a coiled spring he's in the wrong business if he doesn't like criticism.

A simple analysis I know, but I really do think PAFC is run by a bunch of self obsessed twats, just a thought like.

I think you may be right.
