Tisdale's post match interviews.......

[exesaddler]

You achieve promotion, winning means winning not coming second.

So if you are not winning you should just give up!

Is that what our team needs a bunch of quitters?

Clearly you have given up on City now things are not so rosy.

If ever a team needs support now is the time.

Ok, well that turned out to be an excellent interview. Tis certainly sounded very frustrated and a tadge miffed. Granted, more by accident then design, the interviewer got him worked up, got him agitated, and then stood back and let him talk. That is probably the most in-depth Tis interview I have heard. Well worth a listen. Top marks ...

The interviewer brought some stupid points and rightly so Tisdale shut him down.

The team needs to get the ball forward faster?
No that is not the way we play.

Was it bad luck for the 2nd goal?

No, it wasn't it was poor defending before that to allow into the box in the 1st place.

Quality answers from Tis

I seem to remember interviews with the same reporter; which also had a heated, ****** off, argumentative Tisdale. Where he shared his thoughts and told the reporter he was talking b*ll*cks.

Perhaps there is a bit of friction between them?

What he is saying is he is happy that our build-ups are so ponderous that the oppo has loads of time to get 11 behind the ball and be organised. The problem with this as a strategy is that we are just not good enough this season to pass our way through sides. Six away games and no goals scored should be setting the alarm bells ringing...

Their manager's comments and the match statistics are at very much at variance with the comments by our manager.They thought they could have had more. They were right. As performances go, it was abysmal: 1st half on Tuesday all over again. Every time the ball came into the box we were in trouble.

See http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/15135128.stm

Please please please bring Dunne back into the middle so we get the ball in midfield.

People bemoan Tis for showing 'no passion', and when he does, that's still wrong.
Success clearly matters to the man and he wants to focus the team on the salient issues - not pondering on bad luck or poor refereeing - but getting the basics right.
IMHO it was a very good response from him and shows that he's determined, and confident, of getting it right.

 

[wemisscuro]

When things go against him he turns into a spoilt brat.

Unless the reporter asks him exactly what he wants to hear he has a habit of having a hissy fit.

OK at little old Exeter City but not at so called bigger clubs.

Tisdale's most entertaining interview to date!

I thought it was funny!

Shows the man is passionate about his job! [y]

The first one is open to interpretation, did Tis think that Sahal Sahi think that we should be getting the ball forward quicker by going longer in which case Tis was right to say that was against his principles and ethos about the way the side is set up to play or did Sahi think that we should inject same pace into the way we play and move the ball about quicker, in which case he probably has a valid point. When we've been successful, we've shifted the ball about quicker.
As for the second, Tis is spot on. You cut the ball out at source. If there is no supply, you can't score. Ask our strikers.

 

[wemissmoxey]

So after six away league games without a goal some of you thought Tisdale came across well for trying to take the **** out of the reporter, OK .

"We again today looked a very good team", OK Paul :S.

 

[Coolios]

The interviewer was trying to do his job. Ask the right questions that he knows the fans will want answers to. Sadly Tis has shown himself once again to get extremely defensive when the pressure is on. To repeatedly claim that his side IS playing well and he's HAPPY with our performance is fooling no-one apart from himself. If one doesn't want criticism or can't take it, don't be in a line of work where people will constantly ask questions of you. Well done Radio Devon for asking the right questions when other media outlets would prefer to appease the management and not address the vital problems the club is facing at present.
