diggleblue Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 3 hours ago, Only Blue said: It's because people want to love their sporting heroes, just like a Peter Clarke. It isn't going to happen with Norwood. He is looking at this as a job, simple as that. A lot of players mask this , and as you say, smile for the selfies etc. Norwood though is especially grumpy and doesn't mind showing it, so it shocks people to see a player so obviously not bothered about the off-field nicey nicey stuff. We just got to accept that is who he is. We all know miserable people who we tolerate but aren't quite best mates with . Norwood is one of them. ....long as he keeps scoring.

But definitely try I'm Alan Partridge seasons 1 and 2 it's classic British Comedy from what can now be seen as a golden era of sitcoms. You are also definitely of the right age to get it too. Needs context though. Have to watch KMKYWAP first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an amazing piece of work really, that character must be 30 years old and the premise is pretty much the same but Coogan has written it so well it’s still funny and relevant now even with a pretty large volume of work. And the old stuff stands up still today too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Tell you what. The Norwood hates us lads would have a Def-Con 4 level meltdown about Graeme Sharp when he was here as a player. Fuck me, he was one insufferable, miserable bastard off the pitch. Great pro like, but an stone-cold wanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pro like, but an stone-cold wanker. I heard a few things about Sharp and he was less than complimentary about us in his autobiography when he was given the managers job. He wasn't helped at all in that period it had to be said being promised funds to improve the squad and then being told to sell people, as the rot set in and the club really needed change from the very top but as a manager he stunk the place out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even I'd compare him to that Wembley '94 sitter missing, own goal scoring, penalty missing, shit manager muppet... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythemostimportantkick Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Must say I really enjoyed that. I’ve stopped listening to the phone in due to the insistence on having that fruitcake Ibby co-hosting every week. If you continue to say Dallas the way you do I’ll have to stop listening to this too . on a side note I’m a bit disappointed I only managed 12 on Latics mind this week… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobledgersheart Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Think I read on here that Norwood was offside when Hogan took the ball off him in the last minute but when I watched the highlights he was clearly onside, as was Gardner for his goal !!

yarddog73 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Having watched the highlights again that penalty given against Kitching is as bad as a decision you'll see anywhere this weekend, that liners seen their lad go down and starting waving his flag around, he has seen absolutely nothing there and Kitching has done nothing for their lad to throw himself down like that.

Watched the highlights on Chesterfield's site and they show their penalty from behind the goal but don't show the "foul" leading up to it. Maybe due to embarrassment or just to mask Roy's comments ?
