Reo-Coker not dwelling on Bellamy feud

Mon, 23 Jan 08:30:49 2012

Bolton captain Nigel Reo-Coker brushed aside his spat with Craig Bellamy to hail the importance of his side's victory over Liverpool.

A feud dating back to 2007 when both were at West Ham was re-opened early in the first half of Wanderers' 3-1 victory and continued as they walked off for half-time, with Zat Knight having to pull his team-mate away.

Reo-Coker, who scored his side's second, had the last laugh with the win which lifted Bolton out of the bottom three and insisted that was far more important than any run-in with the Wales international.

"Craig Bellamy is going to be Craig Bellamy and I've got no respect for him," Reo-Coker said. "He can do whatever he wants to do but I don't give a damn about him. It is football.

"I'm from the old school; I'm not a bully or someone who runs my mouth so to speak. I get on with football but if someone brings it to me I'll handle it.

"But I'm not concentrating on him, he is not a big factor in this. It is all about the team and the team performance and I thought we were fantastic. There was no neutral who watched the game who could say we didn't deserve that win."

  1. Number 8, we slaughtered you - accept it. We played­ very well and Liverpool were rubbish which is what you­ are without Suarez.
    Reo Coker put no-neck in his place­ and showed him to be the bottler that he is.

  4. Bolton only deserved to win the game because LFC were­ absolutely rubbish, if they play for the next 50 years­ they could never be that bad again. 2 Goals when the­ defence never offered a tackle and a goal that shown on­ a replay the ball from the corner went out of play 2ft­ so shouldn't have counted but that still left­ Bolton with the win 3-1 flattered them a bit.

  6. as a completely unbiased football fan on the ongoing­ war on these web pages between the fans of the big­ clubs i wont back anyone from one club for the sake of­ it or indeed slag them off for the same reason as most­ of you reds from whatever club end up doing on these­ forums. bellamy is a wonderful player with bags of­ skill and energy. the trouble is he is also as big a­ prat and an idiot as he is a good player. unfortunately­ he always has been and always will be. him and joey­ barton probably separated at birth... and that from a­ qpr fan !
