  1. Is it just me, or does it look more like Frankie Bunn than Big Joe??? Sorry Mark....... Good work regardless......
  2. I think the atmosphere WILL be fantastic on Saturday. Dare I say, almost electric for the first 30 mins or so. It'll obviously depend on how the game goes as to how long it'll stay that way. Hopefully though the players will respond to the new air of positivity (is that a word??) around the place and should certainly feel it from the fans. I for one can't wait. And I can't remember the last time I said that. Limbering up me vocal chords already in preparation. Might even lay off the ciggies for a few days!!
  3. May I suggest that we all henceforth refer to the incident as "Dog-gate". In these times of all incidents being given snappy titles, I think it's only right and proper.... Edit: Can I also request that the powers that be please create a greyhound smilie to mark this infamous occasion? I thank you. Edit again: Bollox. Just seen Frankly's poll.
  4. Maybe something to with the TTA's links. Perhaps a deal with a US college/MLS side/fast food chain/cell phone outlet........
  5. No he doesn't. Quite simply, if had played like that every game this season, he wouldn't have gotten the stick he has thus far. He seemed to read the game quite well and was a couple of seconds ahead last night, instead of behind as he has been for most of the previous games. I'm with Kelly's on this one.
  6. Just because the English are :censored:e at rugby!!!!!
  7. I was yelling all game for them to look for the easy ball, but everyone seemed to be more concerned with spraying balls the length of the pitch which invariably ended up rolling out of play, or to that Murphy. It was almost like Ronnie was back!!!!
  8. Within minutes of coming on tonight, Lidds started a move which nearly ended up in a goal. He did this by passing the ball, 5 yards, sideways, to one of his teammates. Something which the rest of the team hadn't managed to do for a good 60 minutes. Everyone else resorted to panicky 40 yard lumps or running, like a headless chicken, down a cul-de-sac. Like Smalley did all too often.
  9. Spot on that, Leyland. Whilst Scunny always looked a threat going forwards, I think we could have easily exposed them more if we had just played the short, easy balls instead of hoofing it as we did for much of the game. The odd occassion we did get it down and actually find the right colour shirt, we caused them problems. The officials were indeed abysmal tonight. Particularly the ref who seemed to get a kick out of stopping the game unneccesarily. My favourite was the incident where two players (can't remember the two players involved) went for a high ball with high feet, and the ref gave them a free kick!! A of highest order....
  10. Don't think there was a player on the pitch tonight who's performance could be classed as "brilliant". We were quite poor across the park. We looked nervous, and got bullied out of it. We did however have at least three good chances to get back into, Hughes' header in the 2nd half in particular. Had that gone in, I think we may have salvaged something, despite performing poorly.
  11. I thought Hughes had a point in that he was wide open in the middle, but then Taylor can barely stand on his left never mind cross with it. But to square up to him and shove him like he did was a little OTT. Uncalled for.
  12. Fecking Millwall scum yet again. Isn't it about time their fans were banned at away games??
  13. It wasn't 'Udders. The whole situation is as it is because of West Yorkshire Police. It's them that have said the clubs can't offically advertise the fact that it's pay on the day. But pay on the day it is, I can assure you.
  14. I'd say about 450. Surprised it sounded good, I thought it was one of the flatest atmospheres I've ever witnessed at an away game. Any noise that was made just seemed to disappear. Horrid little souless ground....
  15. Thanks guys. Ian, I think I'll just ask Acer to send it back unrepaired and bring it into your goodself and save myself £35!!
  16. A laptop I bought recentley has had to go off for repair bacause it wouldn't boot up. I sent it back to Acer as it was only 3 months old and they now tell me there's nothing wrong with the machine and it's a software problem. Surprise, surprise, that's not covered under the warranty. They want £70 to perform a software recovery. Just spent 10 minutes on the phone venting my spleen to them, but they're not interested. Now never having had any problem like this before, I've no idea if I'm being ripped off or not. Any ideas as to if I can get this done cheaper locally?? Cheers.......................and steer clear of Acer..................
  17. The only problem I've got with the drummer is that he drums too slowly. Most people give up the "Carnival de Paris" (I think that's what the song is called) tune after a few bars cos it's so slow. It was always sung quicker pre drum.....
  18. It was alleged that a call was received by GMP from an anonymous tip off that he'd had a few and was behind the wheel. I'm guessing that GMP had a duty to follow up on that info and was duly picked up on the M62. Not becasue he was driving like a loon or anything.
  19. Where in that post was I attempting to blame him for the 1st? Take the time to read the entire thread, or at the very least my initial post, where I say (and this is the giveaway) "Crossley not at fault for the 1st" Not exactly cryptic is it? And the 2nd was a great finish?!?!?!?!? Wake up man.....
  20. Of course it's not a two man team. As I mentioned in my previous post - "If he didn't make so many errors (like everyone else on the pitch yesterday unfortunatley) we wouldn't be discussing this." The reason I'm tired of discussing it is because it's the one position in the team that, for me, is crying out for a change. It's one where we have a ready made solution, and it appears to be one of the few that Shez refuses to make. We don't need loans, or to wait for someone to return from injury. Fleming must be wondering what he has to do. I'm not saying he's a Banks or a Buffon, but looking at the errors Crossley has made in recent games, I think perhaps they are ones that Fleming might not have made.
  21. Crossley not at fault for the first. Definately at fault for the second. Tired of discussing Crossley every week. If he didn't make so many errors (like everyone else on the pitch yesterday unfortunatley) we wouldn't be discussing this. Fleming in.
