Canada head coach

gipetto said:
Made a big show after the game making the players form a huddle around him. Could have easily had the same discussion in the changing room away from the fans and cameras.

That said, fair play to him for following his dreams and getting to the World Cup, he's done very well for himself and deserves credit. Good luck to the bloke.

What's black & white & Brown arl owa?

they were so well coached

what a brilliant effort to get this far in his career

Durham lad done well, as a fellow Durham lad am pleased for him, doubt he gives a flying fuck about newcastle now

Some pretty jealous people on this thread. Some people begrudge a local lad doing well for himself. He didnt have any playing career, yet has managed to be the 1st coach in history to take a women's team & a men's team to a world cup. Phenomenal achievement.

Is he? I knew a lass at school called Herdman (growing up in Lanchester) - just mentioned her to the missus a few minutes ago when hearing his accent and seeing his name

(noting you can be born in Consett but be from Lanchester - I was!)

If you’re from that neck of the woods (I am) you’re most likely ‘born in Consett’ because your mother had you in Shotley Bridge - which those outside that vicinity will say is ‘Consett’.
 
Cracking lad. Played football with him for five or six years. Very genuine lad, crackers like. he was a mag, but not a match going one too often. Chuffed for him - thought Canada were so impressive last night, really well set up.
be Interesting to see if he gets any offers from English clubs after the World Cup. loves it over there like.

To be fair
Most of us were dicks at school .
 
John is a fair bit older than me and used to coach the samba stuff when I was young.

His younger brother Marty is a great lad. Nice family in general.
 
Was listening to game on 5 live and the commentator must have mentioned he was a huge mag bellend about 10 times in the first half.🙄

Was 1 of the first 1s to pop up on google. I think he may of had a company clean up his online profile since having a few high profile jobs in football. If you simply google his name nothing comes up but add in bomb hoax you get articles like the 1 you quoted.
