Brian Laws

Sc***horpe boss Brian Laws has issued an apology after saying his team's defending was "as bad as the Holocaust" in Saturday's 4-0 defeat by Doncaster.

 

Laws used the comment in a post-match interview with BBC Radio Humberside.

 

He told the club website: "I would like to apologise. The use of the word was not intended to cause offence and was used in the heat of the moment.

 

"It was a poor choice of language to define those emotions and wasn't meant in the true meaning of the word."

 

The Board of Deputies of British Jews released a statement in relation to Laws's comment and chants by West Ham fans at their Spurs counterparts on Sunday saying: "Clearly there is either a lack of understanding or a lack of compassion within some sections of the British football world about these issues; a lack of understanding or compassion which needs to be addressed."

 

Laws returned to Glanford Park for a third spell as Iron manager last month and has won two, drawn one and lost two of his five league games in charge.

That is quite stunningly appalling!

I haven't seen the defending so I couldn't comment

It might have been really bad to be fair

Doncaster manager described his lads' committed and incisive attacking display as "even better than when that Breivik nutter went completely berzerk on that island"

Haha!

"They were on the back foot more than the Columbine victims"

[smithdown]

"I'm going to celebrate tonight but Monday it's back to work, like people who find out they have got HIV but not full blown AIDS."

[Falconhoof]

"It was a bad day at the office, but we move on as Harold Shipman did"

[smithdown]

"I do feel sympathy for Brian, of course. Not that he'll need it. As a manager sometimes you have times like these, we all do, tough times, difficult days, you know, and all you want is for the ground to open up and swallow you like it did those little kiddies in soham."

Brian Laws then when on topraise his new centre forward, saying he has the most lethal shot i've seen in this country since that Thomas Hamilton lad from Dunblane.

[Swipe]

"It was never a penalty. Their lad went down like he'd been shot. Like Jill Dando did."

[drdooom]

Laws was puzzled by the referees decision to wave play on, saying those planes were kinder to the World Trade Center towers than Rob Jones was to Leon Clarke.

I was blown away by that performance a feeling shared by those in the Pan Am flight above Lockerbie

Brian Laws today commented on how morale at the club has taken a dip recently and was summed up by the early goal going in. "It's been hard, they definitely let it get to them. I've not seen chins drop that quickly since the Rape of Nanking".

[Falconhoof]

we'll celebrate this win, its good to get one over your rivals, so the lads my have a couple of beers tonight, but they won't go about conducting a systematic genocide of ethnic Armenians like the Ottoman Turks in 1908.

[Billy Dane]

We were hanging on at the end like Lesley Whittle in that drain.

Spectacular work.

[stressederic]

Spectacular work.

 

Might be one of the worst taste things I've ever written.

[StevieC]

The defence went missing. Honestly it was like having Madeleine Mccan at centre back...

[cymrococh]

Brian Laws commiserated with his players after their 4-0 defeat, saying that at the final whistle "They went down that tunnel quicker than Henri Paul".

[Cobs]

as the ball's come across him, Brian he's met it perfectly on the volley and it's like BANG! Nagasaki ! 2-0 !

Smithdown deserves a lot of credit

This is the kind of thing we keep him round for

[Swan Red]

It's the stuff he's very good at. Played for pushing him in the right direction though.

[smithdown]

I'm moved by this like...er...like...I dunno, Jimmy Savile's coffin.

[Eskimo]

On the subject of Pardew I've just heard that one of the reasons he left Soton was because he was doing a JT with players wives, 3 of them to be specific.... apparently he has form for this.
