    badaids reacted to Hafnia in Sean Dyche   
    I have never met a person who slaps a person on the back of the head as being anything other than an absolute prick. 
    It's passive aggressive behaviour.  Smacking someone on the back of the head is a snide way of asserting dominance, the person is testing boundaries or letting you know they are comfortable enough to try it on.
    Had a boss in work who used to do it and get his wedding ring to make contact.... absolute prick. I was early 20s - he did it to me and I lost my shit - the shock and sharp noise/impact...  6ft4 big bloke, I marched towards him like my legs didn't feel anything - pure jelly, hands felt like they weren't mine, I then stopped and walked away and told him "do not follow me" in a high pitched voice with tears in my eyes.... he started laughing and acted surprised as though I'd over reacted. 
     
    The worst thing was there was girls about.... the stupid fucker probably thought the fact that my voice went high pitched and I was almost crying and shaking meant I was upset.   If I get like that it means my body is surging with adrenaline and things could get heavy. The man child did not have a clue.
    He started to walk after me when one of the girls stopped him and said "are you stupid?!"  - she knew the signs he didn't.
    Humans aren't meant to react well to their heads being hit not least the back. It's a threat.   
    I hate violence, but I can't stand people who make me feel like he did.

    We’ll have to agree to disagree then.
    Context and the relationships of those involved are critical, but I’ve seen ‘friendly’ slaps many times and the always turn out badly for everyone.
    My father (a bully) always thought it was hilarious to give out friendly slaps, and worse.  It wasn’t, it was always the act of a bully trying to place himself as the big man. And it never worked out. And of course if anyone tried to do the same to him, that was always a disaster too.
     
    The last time I saw something like this, it was in a work environment a few years ago. Someone (a woman actually, and also a bully) gave a friendly slap to a junior member of the team. Turned out there were others, and led to two years of complaints and misery where I work. 
     
    Even on the Undr The Cosh podcast, who like a bit of top bants, with hindsight admit that this behaviour is not on and you don’t know what other people’s mental health is or how they are taking it.
    This behaviour never helps, is never a laugh and nearly always makes a situation worse, in my experience.
    If it happened as reported, looks like it’s worked out really well for all those involved doesn’t it?
    The only exception for this is the ‘I CANT BELIEVE YOUVE DONE THIS’ meme.

    Apart from my prick of an old man, I’ve been lucky and escaped this type of attention, I’m also quite big and can look after myself which helps.  But it’s an issue that I’m pretty hot on, I’ll always call it out.    I’ve seen it around me all too often and just make people and things miserable.
    Lets hope this is something which has been blown out of proportion.

    If it is true, it’s unacceptable from Dyche.  Putting or raising your hands on anyone, even as a joke is band out of order.  
     
    Regardless of who it is doing it, or the context.  What possible good could have come of it.  Clearly indicates that there are tensions in the squad, and between some players and the manager, and that it’s not just footballing reasons that Dyche doesn’t rate Patterson.  If it happened.

    I also feel Gomes could be a big player for those home games we have coming up after the break.

    Well, it’s hard enough going to United away without giving away 2 penalties.
    Theres no more comfort in saying we played well or we created plenty of chances. Not going to blame Dyche for this one, players are not doing enough.
    Tactics wise I will say that we need to find a way to get away from Doucoure & Godfrey in the starting team. Doucs - I love his running & work ethic but he offers us nothing in build up play or ball retention. Godfrey is just a rash defender with limited technical ability.
    Our strikers will surely relish having Gomes playing that 10 role as he can see & make passes.

    In a game where we have dominated the ball and had fullbacks in attacking areas he is null & void. Should have been off in place of Garner of whom could have gone to RB.

    McNeil with hands on head at his pathetic cross.  Hands-on-head has become Everton’s symbol.

    It seems typical that once again we are playing a team that is there for the taking and we shoot ourselves in the foot, and the leg and the face.

    He was awful at LB the last time we played them here too.

    Yes, both, horrible defending by Tarkowski and Godfrey.

    keep him in midfield - the only player with a bit of bottle in there to try and play it and create.  Coleman needs to come back at right back.

    It's not me, it's his face.  I don't understand it.  He's got a massive head covered in face, this sort of Easter Island head crossed with a 16th century Franciscan Monk. So blame that. He got an assist though yesterday, for which I will take full credit.

    Harrison or McNeil don't shit the bed, we're 2-0 up and likely take all 3 points. At that point in the game we were looking anything but negative.

    I think he was MOTM. The pen goes in, or that McNeil chance and totally different game.
    But we were wank and fell apart.

    Wait how is this solely on Dyche? Genuinely confused by that. How many opportunities did our players blow? How many great saves did their keeper make? Was Dyche somehow on the pitch for that and I missed it?

    Poor poor poor, no other word for it.
    Here I thought we'd get three points in this game. Certainly doesn't look like it.
