Hope that he can now actually see the funny side... ...a bloke that notoriously got annoyed at a journalist after a game, for questioning decisions he had made... thinks that - after the final whistle has gone - he can persuade the ref to change a few decisions that he has made...!

Do we know for certain that's what John was after?

Careful George... are you suggesting that there may be alternative motives for why he was so excitedly keen to gain access to the officials changing area...?

I'm not saying anything Thad, just that how does anyone really know his intentions? Perhaps he just wanted to have a moan at the official(s)?

My suggestion that he was trying to persuade them - after the match had finished - to change a few decisions, was posted for comedic effect... ...but in any event, moaning at them is a largely fruitless exercise - without even a cathartic benefit - particularly as the ref had awarded us a penalty & sent an opposition player off, it is very difficult for any objective analysis to conclude that he cost us a home win. Plus, if it is okay to query the ref about decisions they make, it does look like a double standard to have a hissy when you are asked about a substitution you have made.
It is time for Yemsy to be more professional & focus on DOING HIS JOB and let the officials do theirs, both parties will do things right & wrong on occasions.
Are we in danger of confusing professional with passionate?
I would rather have a passionate manager who says it as it is, than a mouse of a manager who spouts the usual meaningless cliches after matches. If nothing else, for the entertainment.

JOHN YEM'S RED ARMY!
Hang on an second, Sons FC, but I'm sure you were a strong advocate of The Incompetent Cioffi before he was thankfully given the boot !!
The Italian certainly was a Mouse of a manager that did spout total meaningless cliques after matches!!

Don't need to hang on for a second John - of course I supported Cioffi. He was the manager and regardless of my personal opinion, there was nothing I could say or do to change that. Those who complained about him on an online forum weren't going to change that either.
His comments before and after matches were cliched but that was how he was.
Yems takes a different approach and I have no problem with it.
He can be passionate. He can say what he feels to be true. He can shout at his players on the pitch and training ground. Those traits do not stop him being professional. He really needs to stop moaning about referees. That is unprofessional!
Also, how would he like it if the ref gave an interview after a game and said playing a flat back four in this match showed how crap a manager he is, especially if he wasn't allowed to respond?
If there isn't a method for managers to complain about a bad refereeing display I'd be very surprised but I doubt it would allow vitriol and temper tantrums to be included.
Are there any rules about a minimum distance from the touchline? It could turn into a farce with him patrolling the area in front of the front row of seats.

I think most fans would support John Yems if we feel that he has raised reasonable concerns over the referee's performance if he has made a series of bad decisions, particularly if they are match changing decisions which affects the outcome of the game. However, in this particular instance the referee in question that he complained about gave us a penalty and sent one of their players off, effectively giving us every chance of winning the game. Also, he was a bit whistle happy for both teams, although we clearly benefited most for the reasons I've set out and the referee was not the reason we failed to win, it was the players. To me it strikes as a deflection tactic after a couple of bad performances.

He could of course patrol outside the referees changing room.

Perhaps my memory has faded but I cannot recall Yems putting his hand up for any 'mistakes'/'under performances' of his own?
Well I support Yems. The game is too bland and clipboard manager these days, let’s have a few more characters who speak their mind, it’s football not lawn green bowls with Mabel and Doris
