League One - Upset Gannon snubs media

Eurosport - Sun, 29 Mar 17:44:00 2009

Stockport manager Jim Gannon declined to attend the post-match press conference following his side's 2-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers.

The County boss also refused to shake the hand of opposite number Paul Trollope at the end of the League One encounter, with Gannon believed to have bad feeling over a postponed match between the clubs.

"My only comment is that when we lost 3-1 at Stockport earlier this season, he was happy to shake my hand," said Trollope, who saw Byron Anthony and Rickie Lambert - with his 25th of the season - score for his Pirates side.

"Nothing has happened since so I don't know why he wouldn't on this occasion. I have respect for everyone in football. You will have to ask Jim for his reasons."

County have won just one of their last seven games as their play-off challenge has faltered and Gannon has been unable to bring players in owing to a transfer embargo.

  1. How many more times are we going to have the same story­ word for word with a different heading? It really is­ lazy yellow journalism trying to blow up something­ minor into some kind of huge "handbags at­ dawn" feud instead of writing something relevant.­ It also insults the intelligence of your readers. What­ about a story focussing on............oh I don't­ know.............how about actual FOOTBALL?
    County­ always,
