Most pedantic post of the day goes too....

Most pedantic post of the day goes to....

Well he did say he'd had 20 years of having his backside wiped. Maybe Poleon was a bit rough with the bog roll.

I just can't believe that Dunn is such a peasant that he would dare to inflict words like "arse" and "backside" on the general public.

Won't someone think of the children?

Did the numpty reporter really just apologise to the viewers because David Dunn called Dominic Poleon a "pain in the arse"?

 

One cannot conceive anything so strange and so implausible that it has not already been said by one philosopher or another...

Oh really??

Every word that we (as humans) have spoken and every action we have ever taken is simultaneously being described in song by a ginger kitten playing a banjo on a far away planet.

Everytime you masturbate your counterpart kitten loses a whisker.

To be fair when I saw and spoke to Holden the other week he made a point about him coming overweight and his fitness before and when heard the club.

 

Said he was in regulor contact with him.

Again in English?

Just watched the highlights, all 3 goals are awful defending, but.. that last one I think it's Gunning at fault but can't tell from the camera - he just points at his player like it was someone else's fault with no one else in sight! Unbelievable

I noticed that too. Was the numpty who was pointing definitely Gunning?

I'm really confused right now.

Wasn't part of Kelly's philosophy to play with pace? Wasn't that what he said when he joined us?

Since then we have signed David Dunn and Lee Croft and tried to sell Forte. There are also suggestions in the Chron that Poleon could be attracting attention elsewhere. Where's our pace going to come from?

Conceded 114 goals in 3 matches at the Pacific Games.

I'm pretty sure I could go down to any well populated pub and collect a squad of 50 somethings after they've all had a few pints and still not expect them to concede so many against the likes of Tahiti, Fiji and Vanuatu.

I thought that we are playing 3412 next season. What's all this LB/RB and two CBs talk?

Is Lee Croft bringing his stories about monkeys back to the Latics dressing room?

Flips sake how many times?

If he wasnt a terrorist sympathiser I wouldnt want a refund.

Why stop there?

Let's all demand to know which of our players/ staff/ board members vote UKIP, want the return of the death penalty, love the idea of prohibition, support fox hunting and were in favour of the Iraq war.

There's nothing like indignance is there?

Come to think of it, I should be looking to vet the political opinions of all the staff at Alton Towers and Chester Zoo before I go there again.

Costing the club thousands in cancelled season tickets.

Let's just assume that you are right about that for a second.

So you are arguing that a man's personal life is interfering with his professional life because there are people who would financially support his professional life who are incapable of separating the two.

This is exactly the mentality that I disagree with.

It's only "interfering" because of the attitudes exhibited by a certain number of people. It's nothing that he is doing directly.

Already interfering.

How so?

Nice that some who dont want a 'rapist' are happy with a terrorist sympathiser. Weird.

It's football. I don't care what anyone's personal beliefs or past activity outside of football are. So long as it doesn't interfere.

I swear this forum gets more and more cranky as it ages

You were happy with us signing a rapist

Nice attempt to derail the topic there.

At this stage I'm happy with Darren Kelly if Corney's happy with him.

SC has spent a long time on this decision, and he's in a far far better position the judge the man's potential than any of the moaners on here.

Case closed......for now at least

We wouldn't be appointing Darren Kelly if he was black. Just saying.

Pages of unnecessary grief here as both positions are tenable. Internet really does bring all things down to 'diametrically opposed', doesn't it?

 

Of course the goal was great and I'm sure PhilStarbucksSilkySkills enjoyed it as much as anyone. And I bet that on the spur of the moment, instinct kicked in and the wide pass to Winchester was lost from Turner's thought-process.

 

But it's an absolute truth that decision making which encompasses maximum statistical success rate will lead to greatest success - and that applies in all walks of life. If every Latics player was coached to make the 'right' decision all the time, we would finish the season significantly higher up the table than otherwise and the football would certainly be anything but boring as success brings with it excitement.

 

This is the point which I think PhilStarbucksSilkySkills is trying to make and I think it's a valid point..

Thankyou. Someone who gets it. Good post.

Skilfully avoided the valid point Clifford made there about the defender's body weight in your picture and the next frame on the video.

I have no intention of addressing an argument from a guy who just wants a mud slinging match. It's not interesting to me.

With that said nothing he wrote in the the first paragraph was coherent enough for me to respond to.

To address what you have just said, I maintain that nothing I have said is refuted by any slight shifts in body weight. The throughball was very much on for Winchester, and Turner either had alot of work do or he needed some luck to go it alone. Or both as was the case in the end.

 

 

 

The problem is if you coach that greedy instinct out of a natural striker you end up with just another forward player who's first instinct is to pass ....................then we end up with pass pass pass chance gone

I don't see why coaching greedy instincts out of players has to result in over playing it.

I'm just talking about intelligent decision making.

Technically maradonna should have passed about 15 times when he dribbled through the whole England team, he didn't and he scored, down as one of the best goals ever.

 

He's scored and we won so it's irrelevant.

wooosh!!

Obi Wan Kenobi "Use the force Luke"

Phil "Don't listen to him Luke. You've got all that technology right there at your fingertips - use that"

Says it all

You believe the force real and applicable to football match?

Full back sees the Belfast Messi coming through, he only needs to shift his weight (he's doing that in your pic) and Turner can beat him with ease. Defender needed to go for the ball or the Belfast Messi and did neither hence Turner beating him easily.

 

Anyone who has played at a decent level will know that. I find most people who bleat on about being coaches don't know anything about actually playing the game.

 

Unless this is a wind up then well played. If not your a moron and god help anyone you 'coach'.

Grow up

Whatever people. It's a good job none of you are coaches.
