  1. Is Flynn Downes still injured, i don't recall reading anything about why he wasn't in the squad Saturday?
  2. Martin at fault with poor starting lineup. Failed to change it at 1-0. Smallbone can’t play as a CDM receiving the ball facing his own goal. He is unable to turn and his only option is to play backwards putting more pressure on the CB/keeper to beat the press. Leaves the only out as a longer ball. Then leaves the only player capable of holding the ball on the bench to be replaced by lightweight Mara. Add to the mix that Rothwell and Will have zero physical presence in the middle and we have tactical masterclass by Martin. be Braves calls Martin after poor performances. How about he is “Brave” and make the change after 20 minutes when it was clear his plan wasn’t going to work and we would have a chance to stay in the game. Adams and Aribo needed to come on then. It was so fucking obvious. He learnt Nothing from the Bristol game. lets hope Downes stays fit otherwise I fear a play off defeat listening to More shyte about how unnoticed Smallbone’s contributions are and how pleased we are to have Rothwell in the building. Lose the arrogance Martin before you throw all the good work away. Poor team selection and too late responding to the initial mistake. Waiting to half time to make the changes was fucking scandalous. will he learn from his mistakes or will he get lucky with Downes fitness until the end of the season?
  3. I imagine they would if you are prepared to pay a high enough premium.
  4. And he wont have control either just reporting into someone up the chain and following their strategy. People in his position are generally workaholic control freaks and a step backwards in terms of responsibility to work for a bigger club isnt necessarily a great move.
  5. and he would be gone within 12 months
  6. X is full of similar melt. Saw one guy saying they were the form team from October 1st with 1 point ahead of saints failing to point out he hadnt included the games from Saturday because they played Friday night. They seem to be a right arrogant bunch compared to leicester and Ipswich.
  7. Wonder why they fail to mention that they have lost 6 games away from home and factor that in to thier thinking when it comes down to predicting hgow they will perform in their last 8 away games?
  8. Jeez, 3 months of this twoddle in the summer. What an exciting thought. I do find it amusing that a an adult has managed to keep up this charade for so long. Although i did get a leak from on of his members that their esteemed leader is a shoe in for the next series of Undateables which probably explains why he find sit so much fun. Cant give any more details other than that as i dont want to out for COT source. Remember loose lips sink ships!
  9. Exactly this. A player that whilst very talented who likes to run with the ball and take risks with the ball is not going to fit well into a system that absolutely revolves around keeping possession. He gives it away far too often particularly in dangerous areas where we are vulnerable to counter attacks to be a good fit in to our system. Ultimately he may be super talented but we have to back the system implemented or create a systems around his strengths. if we can get good money and replace with a better fit that in my opinion is great management.
  10. Thank Fuck we only have 1 more day of this tedius shyte and off to the muppet show forum where it belongs.
  11. What a great question although his outlier views on the vaccine / covid don't seem so mad in hindsight unless of course you are on booster number 54 and still listening to the Tory government?
  12. Title: The Art of Sarcasm: Navigating the Fine Line Between Wit and Apathy Introduction Sarcasm, often regarded as the highest form of wit, has the power to amuse, entertain, and sometimes offend. It's a linguistic tool that relies on irony and a clever play on words, but what happens when sarcasm is used to deflect from engaging with something, a comment, or even a piece of writing? This raises the question: Can one create a sarcastic comment about something they can't be bothered to read? In exploring this topic, we'll delve into the nuances of sarcasm, its role in communication, and whether it can effectively serve as a shield against the effort of intellectual engagement. The Nature of Sarcasm Sarcasm, at its core, is a form of verbal irony where someone says the opposite of what they mean, often with a mocking or scornful undertone. It is a sharp and witty tool in the arsenal of language, allowing individuals to express their thoughts in a humorous or critical manner. While sarcasm can be a potent means of communication, its effectiveness depends on context, tone, and the relationship between the communicator and the audience. Using Sarcasm as a Shield The idea of creating a sarcastic comment about something one can't be bothered to read suggests a certain level of apathy or disinterest. In this scenario, sarcasm can be employed as a shield, deflecting the need to engage with the content in question. This raises the question of whether sarcasm is a genuine expression of indifference or merely a clever way to avoid addressing the subject matter. One might argue that crafting a sarcastic comment about unread material could be a defense mechanism, allowing the individual to distance themselves from the topic without directly stating their disinterest. It becomes a way to save face, projecting an image of nonchalance and wit rather than admitting an unwillingness to invest time or effort. The Double-Edged Sword While sarcasm can be a powerful linguistic tool, it is also a double-edged sword. The line between witty banter and outright rudeness is thin, and using sarcasm to dismiss something without consideration can backfire. It risks alienating others, damaging relationships, and creating an atmosphere of hostility. Moreover, relying on sarcasm as a habitual response to things one can't be bothered to read may indicate a lack of genuine curiosity or a closed-minded approach to new ideas. It could lead to missed opportunities for intellectual growth and meaningful discussions. In a world inundated with information, dismissing content without exploration may perpetuate ignorance rather than fostering understanding. The Importance of Intellectual Engagement Intellectual engagement is a cornerstone of personal and societal growth. It involves actively seeking knowledge, considering diverse perspectives, and participating in meaningful conversations. Sarcasm, when used as a shield against intellectual engagement, might hinder this process. It can contribute to a culture of superficiality, where witty remarks take precedence over thoughtful analysis. Instead of defaulting to sarcasm, individuals are encouraged to approach unfamiliar topics with an open mind. Engaging with new ideas, even those that initially seem uninteresting, can broaden one's understanding and contribute to personal development. Intellectual curiosity fosters a deeper connection with the world, encouraging a more informed and empathetic perspective. The Role of Context It's essential to recognize that not all instances of sarcasm are created equal. The appropriateness of a sarcastic comment depends heavily on context and the nature of the conversation. In some cases, sarcasm can be a harmless and humorous way to navigate discussions, while in others, it may be perceived as dismissive or disrespectful. Before employing sarcasm as a response, it's crucial to consider the feelings and perspectives of others. What might be intended as a lighthearted remark could be interpreted differently by those on the receiving end. A balance must be struck between expressing individuality and maintaining a level of respect for diverse opinions. Conclusion In the realm of communication, sarcasm stands out as a powerful and versatile tool. However, when used as a shield against engaging with content or ideas, it can hinder personal growth and meaningful discourse. While crafting a sarcastic comment about something one can't be bothered to read may provide a momentary sense of wit, it's essential to weigh the long-term consequences. Ultimately, fostering intellectual curiosity, open-mindedness, and a willingness to engage with diverse perspectives enriches personal and collective understanding. Sarcasm can coexist with these values, but it should be wielded thoughtfully, considering the impact it may have on communication and relationships. Striking a balance between wit and genuine engagement is the key to navigating the complex landscape of sarcasm in our interactions.
