HarryBosch Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 2 hours ago, yarddog73 said: It's all a bit weird tbh, that midfield is crying out for experience yet we can't find a player in the whole football pyramid who can put their foot on the ball and run a game for us and the lack of quality in wide positions is also a real concern, it is what it is I suppose but it looks like hoof ball is going to rule - it's all a bit meh. We're 8th though and if hoofball is what we're going to play all season we should get better & better at it in theory... I'm at a stage where I couldn't care less if we play a style I don't like if it get's us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could offer your side of things on every decision the club makes. It’s a pretty depressing way to view things about a club you support. If we draw- I prefer to think we got something to build on. You think were lucky. If we sign a player- I’m hoping he’ll be class. You make judgements without seeing him play. Are you not just saying you treat everything the same way deyres does but from the opposite perspective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. I’ve called the club out on many things that I don’t agree with, but they tend to be the bigger things. Not the minutia of 1-1 at FGR. If our keeper has a great game and gets us a point shouldn’t we be chuffed? Instead of being lucky we weren’t beat 3 nil? If we were 8th and doing ok, can we hope for more, instead of saying it won’t last? What right minded fan looks at mini postives(god knows we need them) and immeadiatley implys a negative? There’s enough to have a go at the club for, having a decent keeper, and being eighth aren’t two examples of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting as I think if you asked the people running a lot of public sector organisations they'd say they'd prefer teachers to appropriately penalise poor spelling, punctuation and grammar. That's a debate for another time and place though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPaG papers the children sit as part of their SATs exams are incredibly difficult. Also, no matter how exceptional their writing, they cannot be considered to be above age related expectation unless their handwriting and SPaG are up to scratch.

I'm finding smartphone predictive text baffling. In which (or is it what?) context should 'I have' be used rather than 'I've'? Is 'i' rather than 'I' in a sentence totally unacceptable?

The problem is people say should’ve which sounds like should of, resulting in people then writing (or typing) of instead of have. Not really a problem to me as language naturally evolves anyway. I do notice it, but it’s nothing like that time I found out that Morecambe isn’t called Morecombe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a running theme in our office to ask a new starter how many letters in the alphabet. Sounds boring as fuck, but the answers can be hilarious. When someone genuinely thinks there are 39 letters in the English alphabet, it makes you worry for the future I blame you Magic Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
