Barry Robson

Kick-off is at 7.30 and that one is safe travels to the brave souls who've headed up there.

Here's Barry Robson, the City Manager, speaking to the media earlier in the week.

A lot less controversial than the old Grimson one.

Oh, yeah, what a terrific performance, I think.

And I mean, that was, that would have been a treat, but yeah, unfortunately we had to come back down to the first division and yeah, there was kind of no wording, no talks, no nodding, nodding to kind of get the fans excited.

And then all of a sudden, boom, Barry Robson's appointed as head coach.

And we were like, where did this come from? Yeah.

Yeah.

Come down and play for City.

Play for Barry Robson's rebel army.

Come on

He will, yeah.

... we all wanna talk about Cork City, don't we? Like, it's such an interesting topic.

Mm-hmm.

And I was speaking to Barry Robson.

Barry, you talked about the whole season, how teams kind of change the way that they approach the game when they play you, and then a team comes here and they try to play football and you tear them apart.

Is the squad selection.

and i've been so torn and so like not able to wrap my head around it obviously there's the fact that barry robson in the lead up to us winning the first division said that he wants to play the strongest team so we can win the win the league i don't want to say win the league win the first division and that once we have a one then the young players can get a chance but when are they going to get a chance how can you not play them how can you go out with a starting 11 that was the exact same as before the other side of it and like I said to you and I've said to a few people is there's a bit of hope there that next season will be that he's using these few games to build something towards next season but the fear and the downside to it is it suggests a lot of these players that are here now are going to be in our starting 11 next season which I can nearly see being the case And the other...

Again, the third side to it is...

He said recently in an interview after a match that the young players need to show in training that they're...

I spoke to somebody who coached him in the academy who told me that he was a very good player, very talented player.

He's no problems that he could see with his attitude, but sometimes he'd be given instructions and he wouldn't quite grasp the instructions that it would take a few, that he'd be telling him you need to do this and he just wouldn't.

be able to follow those instructions which you could kind of hear something barry robson say something like that a few months ago when he was talked about how he was what was it that he was playing as a second striker and he was meant to be playing in a different position i can't remember the exact thing about it but that was the case a few months ago so maybe there's something like that

what have you made of that chris and sir uh tom

They just can't do that.

I think Barry Robson's

just finishing up at court,

is he

going to be interesting to see how much game time any wingers are going to get

after the international break now because at the moment it's like we don't need them and it feels very much like Barry Robson all over again.

Well I mean it's funny because you were listening to Adrian Bevington's Red TV interview about a need for everything to be in sync across the club as far as the first team goes and How we build towards that.

Classic Aberdeen to panic by a winger in Hisham Mahou and then move to a formation where we don't need wingers.

uh the croatian rock band robo Robbo? Yeah, yeah.

It's a tribute to the career.

Barry Robson.

I was going to say Stephen Robinson, but yeah, Barry Robson also

I have scored in the Champions League, and I played beside Andy Halliday and Mark Wilson.

I am Barry Robson.

Barry Robson.

Well done if you got it right, and loads of you did.

There's like kind of Middlesbrough connection in there that you have to try and work your way around.

Kyle B in second, and RoscoM81 is the winner of the second half teaser.

So there we go.

It was indeed Barry Robson.
