The press were evil towards Graham Taylor, they should be ashamed of themselves. Yes okay, we didn’t qualify for a fucking football tournament, but the abuse he got was unbelievable.
I agree, they also gaslighted football fans into abusing Taylor. Same is happening to Southgate right now, despite him being the most successful England coach since Sir Alf Ramsey. In fact, Southgate is getting it worse because social media didn’t exist back when Taylor was in charge. It’s just another avenue that simpletons use to spread hate and abuse.
The tabloid press in the 90’s and 00’s before the phone hacking scandal were a disgrace.
I thought the turnip was one of the greatest headlines in sport
Agree and there worse now.
0:25 Me when I´m taking my morning shit...
The way our tabloid press treated a very Honourable man was a national disgrace.
It’s the same story time and time again. Just different names
@@stewartgrindlay9760 i don’t think they’re quite as bad these days.
The FA gave Ron Greenwood the job after Brian Clough had won 2 European cups. They employed Taylor who although robbed in qualifying got what his team deserved. They sacked Hoddle and employed Kevin Keegan. They allowed Sven to waste the best group we ever had by playing a rigid 442 formation. They employed Steve McClaren who failed and then announced Capello like he was some kind of rockstar and paid him a fortune even though he didn't even speak English. They then employed Hodgson who went to a world cup and scored 1 goal before then getting knocked out of the Euro's by Iceland. Southgate was appointed by accident not by design and has been a gift after all the mistakes made previously. A man who looked at how previous winning teams built squads over years, revolutionised the culture of the international set up and brought in coherent modern football and made us difficult to beat. Most of the fans and media still seem to hate him though.. shows how thick most English really are when it comes to football.
I think basically what you've put here. Southgate has done so many things right which other managers haven't. How can the only manager to get England to a Euro final be so unpopular with the fans?
@@alwilfrid 1. Because most of them are morons who can't see how much better we are because they don't really understand what they're looking at on the pitch. 2. Southgate doesn't fit what these idiots idea of a man or an England manager should be. He subconsciously threatens their masculinity because he is apparently a caring, thoughtful human being. He also supports anti racist and anti homophobic platforms (like take the knee) which makes them feel uncomfortable because they don't like it being implied that deep down they're racist and homophobic, which some of them are. They 'booo' gestures of equality because they see them as partizan political issues rather than support for people who are being oppressed or poorly treated. I think at least 75% of fans who think he should lose his job would also say that 'wokeness' is taking over our country and values.. which is of course a load of bullshit dreamed up by politicians and media trying to create a false narrative in order to scare people into thinking their way of life is somehow being taken away from them and therefore vote for certain political parties.
@@alwilfrid Because Southgate has the most talented English generation in at least two decades and he is squandering it badly.
@@TheSt1092 Our defence isn't that good and we can't play all our gifted midfielders at once - football isn't like that. Bellingham, Madison, Sterling, Foden, Grealish, Palmer and Saka are all too similar to be playing at the same time.
Southgate: 🙄
‘You’ve got good feet, but a f’d up knee, f’d up brain and a f’d up belly’. Many a true word said in jest 😬
Shame..a very honorable man..rip
Unbelievable
That England Poland game 🤣 they got caught so many times by the defence playing it into midfield and then Poland pinching the ball and countering. The idea is to tease the polish out so they aren't compact and then play through them
Seaman was definitely at fault for both those Dutch goals... He's nearly on the 6yard line for koemans free kick... Even the commentator predicted the chip ffs
You have to question some of the players, Tony Adams and des walker,2 world class defenders making mistakes like that, there's no excuse,we had a good team and exceptional players, I was furious at some of the selections at the time, especially in midfield and I'm not usually bothered about the national team.
I don't understand Graham's faith in Carlton Palmer, what did he see in him? Michael Thomas at Liverpool would have been a much better option.
excellent point
Pure mike Bassett
and that's why France learned their lessons (not just their Federation, but their Press too).
A decent football man who had clowns like palmer as players. RIP MR TAYLOR.
23:38 choreographed arm folding
Should've included England summer tour of US Cup 93...
They were only really friendlies though. They actually did alright against Brazil.
Deffo a sending off
Waznt jack charlton a lucky man he took over Republic of Ireland and if Graham Taylor was Republic of Ireland manager they would of treating the man with respect.. shame on the english media for what they did to taylor and the fans who gave the man abuse
Poisend chalice
He had all the best intentions - but what an awful manager he seems to be based on this documentary. EDIT: That speech before the Netherlands game was great. That press conference too.
He was a good manager in the 80’s at Villa and Watford. I agree that speech still really gets my hairs standing up. Unfortunately International football is a different game and he wasn’t suited to it. The only manager at the time who was really suited to it was Terry Venables, he’d managed Barcelona in the 80’s.
Do I not like that!
and now we have fucking southgate
While Graham Taylor was cruelly savaged by the press, you have to wonder why he had Phil 'the parrot' Neal as his No2?...and some of his decisions regarding players were almost as poor. Howard Kendal was a better manager.
Was it Holland and Poland that qualified from that group
Norway and Holland
Always found it remarkable how Taylor got so much stick...but mcmenemy and Phil neal didn't get any...pair of clowns who didn't help him.
He picked the team, Carlton Palmer above all the talent that was about at the time, you can see him losing it with him but he kept picking him!
@@howwwwwyyyyy No..action was needed from the bench in all these games shown here..mcmenemy looks more foolish than Taylor..stop trying to be contrary. Xx
@@hensmithers9687like a pair of parrots ,no input just repeating what Taylor said
Who appointed them?
It was his reputation as a long ball player that was Taylor's curse,he shouldn't have been given the job but it goes on fitting in with the fa more than football knowledge ,we had the base of a team that had got to the semis and should have got further, I remember hating him at the time,but the press were outrageous towards him
“The ball is shit”. Seemed a culture of excuses.
Gazza was overweight and unfit from ‘92 to ‘95. He was making excuses for his own under performing, he was supposed to be the star player.
He was unfairly treated. Koeman did cheat and everyone knows it. Corruption maybe.
I have always thought this documentary was hilarious. Its like putting Norman Wisdom in charge of the English football squad. 😂 Poor guy. Why he let them make a documentary, I do not know. 🙄 It says a lot for English football at that time. Really funny but also sad to watch. 😂😢 Footballers have always been a thick anyway. Der.......Long live Graham Taylor! ❤
He was actually a successful club manager in the 80’s, it’s disrespectful to say that. He wasn’t suited to International football, but with the European club ban in the 80’s, most English managers at the time probably wouldn’t have done much better.
@@lucasm3879 nonsense . England were unlucky not to qualify for the World Cup . Hit the post twice in holland before Koman (who should have been sent off ) scored . A draw in that game and England would have qualified . Holland went on to almost beat Brazil in the quarter Finals . Small margins . England also thoroughly dominated the home game vs holland that ended 2-2.. Les Ferdinand missed a host of chances when put clean through by Carlton Palmer. Holland didn’t equalize till the 85th minute . Palmer - was a player that Taylor was routinely insulted for selecting bug he was outstanding in that game .
@@tyqwdybijo It doesn’t come down to bad luck over a whole qualifying campaign mate. You can blame bad luck for almost everything in football but at the end of the day it evens out over time. They just didn’t play well enough. Look at how much better they played under Venables with a more measured approach.
@@tyqwdybijo England took one point from two games v Norway - not good enough. Away to Poland 1 - 1 was another poor game. Rijkaard also had a goal ruled out in Rotterdam which should have been given. Like I said it all evens out. I never actually slated Palmer. There were other players I think should have been picked ahead of him, Michael Thomas for instance, but it’s 30 years ago now, it doesn’t really matter to be fair.
Can't win....win.you win loose,your a bum....
