A rather ‘furious’ Horndean manager goes viral with damning post-match rant after defeat to Phoenix Sports on Saturday afternoon.
It would seem the boss has took some tips from Dorking’s very own Marc White in calling out bad performances from his players.
The reaction became so big that Horndean subsequently decided to turn their comments off so no one could have their say.

The 1-0 result means that Horndean now sit 16th in the Isthmian League – South East Division with 8 points from 10 games, while Phoenix Sports, are 18th, a place above the drop zone with the same points but played a game more.
Interviewer: So Birms [Michael Birmingham] frustrating afternoon. Give us your thoughts on that display.
Manager: That weren’t frustrating. We were crap first half. Pathetic bunch of losers. Didn’t want to work hard, didn’t want to get in a physical fight. Scared. Thought they could turn up after having a good performance against Sheppey and a good result against Ramsgate on a pitch that was lively, very heavy, and they didn’t want to do the hard work. And they got outmuscled. Outworked. And to be honest, we were crap first half and got what we deserved.
Interviewer: You think it was more positive display in the second half?
Manager: No, not really. Just huff and puff. Nothing really positive about it. My centre forwards could still be out there till training on Tuesday. Won’t hit the target. We created enough opportunities to win two games. But to be honest, fair play to Phoenix, because the first half, they were better and that’s where the damage done. We were crap.

@RE_Shannock: David Wagner, take note. You don’t have to be the fall guy to cover the commitment and inadequacies of others.
@toptargets: “My centre forwards could be out there until training Tuesday and still couldnt hit the target” Those forwards are currently 3rd and 4th top scorers in the league despite them being 16th and deserve a bit more respect than this. Poor.👎
@toptargets: Feels like it was done for views and that worked but wont distract from the fact your team has 2 wins in 10 league games. If managers think this is the way to get a reaction from their team, they are kidding themselves. Would like to think he regrets this but doubt he does. 🤦♂️
