While he is, Middlewordie's post easily applies to players currently playing in League 1. While he's played for QPR across recent seasons, the majority of Kelman's games have been on loan in leagues 1 and 2. Any reasonable poster would see that Matt. You're 0 for 2 this morning. Following yesterday's 0 in dozens of posts, it's maybe a good time to pause and think.

Yes. We all knew about it, because it was posted already. Do read the threads. Matt, even in your haste to satisfy your stadium related fetish. I'd not have bothered, but you're being an idiot elsewhere already today, after your embarrassment in the Lounge yesterday.

SaintsWeb tradition is that I now throw abuse at your eyebrow for being an ITK tease. Then follow it up, by questioning the source of your eyebrow's claims, and disparage gossip it picked up while being waxed at a salon. 🙂

Thanks for your summary and that excellent, spot on, article. I try to be a bit tactful, watching from afar. You have a club with engaged, if flawed decision makers. The position is not where anyone wants to be, but there are plenty of opportunities for players to stake a claim and go up with the club. It's not everyone, but there are a number of apathetic, mediocre players drifting their way through this season. Why they don't grasp the opportunity is a mystery. If that's their level, or they deluded themselves into thinking they should be somewhere else, that's on SR's recruitment and coaching. Oh, for a manager that gives them some home truths and a right kick up the rear. At least you'd see some intensity and increased effort.

Nathan Jones right once again. Playing against 10 is harder. Only a few mins after Le Mans were down to 10, and they got the only goal. That was quite late on and VA had no answer. I was beginning to think a warrant would be put out for the thieves who had pinched everyone's shooting boots. Most of the few chances were blazed over. VA did get a 1 on 1 fairly close to the keeper that was saved. Some running up and down the middle, followed by poor passing was the order of the evening. VA will be very disappointed about the marking for the goal. But they hadn't done anything of note to get more than a draw.

I hope this the case. Keeping him would be a start to having a team that can stay up. Just need to look at 8 or 9 of the others for next time. Bah! I didn't get time to enjoy Saint86's post at all. 🙂

I'm more convinced by achievement over hype. I'd prefer accomplishments in places we want to be, rather than videos of giving a bloody nose. Lots of managers are hyped, right up until their results falter, and then it's the next along the media conveyor belt. Nathan and Russ were both like that.

He was a key part of RussBall, remaining cool under lots of daft pass backs. More broadly, when he was injured, you could see the defence able to ping it about, built on the efforts of Baz who had given them a foundation. McCarthy benefited from that in those final games. Ideally, you'd want a defence as comfortable with possession that Baz was helping with plus the shot stopping all round game of Ramsdale. It's that shot stopping that lets Baz down. Even if some of that is perception/ preference for having a more physical 'keeper, the goals conceded seem to back that up. Wherever Martin ends up, he'd do really well to take Baz and Will with him. Both key in RussBall. Hopefully Baz develops his all round game. You can see why City had him, and why areas of his game are excellent fits for possession systems. Just possibly not enough of them at PL level yet.

Thanks for the links as always Christophe. And for the info. This will be interesting. A test for those who might not have played much this season, to stake a claim for more minutes next season. That's in a side, where you could see the momentum/ hope drain out of it recently, that could be a bit disjointed with players not used to each other, and against one of the better sides in the division.

Coup

That also seems to be the problem with Baz, too. 🙂

Little check to top of thread to see if it's the hcdajfu one... Whew... 🙂

The closest Martin got to showing his transfer frustrations I know of, was at Swansea. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64497895

And Pete would know, having invited the entire Pentagon onto a Signal chat.

Having to clean my tank of the remains of drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, children and dog walkers. Then having to feed all the dogs, none of whom are harmed. 🙂

Does not knowing when it is, answer badger's OP question of why not more of a deal is made of it?

There is a lot of appalling reverse ferreting going on. This is just another example of what a honourless, morally bankrupt lot they are. Also from Wings (which is a great source for how such subjects can take over a parliament, and how much it takes before it's stopped). Can be applied to any topic you like. Trans women with penises can use female toilets, says shadow education secretary Remarks sows fresh confusion over Labour’s gender stance 25 June 2024 • 3:03pm Shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson Credit: WIKTOR SZYMANOWICZ/SHUTTERSTOCK Trans women with penises could use female lavatories under Labour’s plans to make gender change easier, the shadow education secretary has said. Bridget Phillipson said that a trans woman who had a gender recognition certificate (GRC) “would be using female toilets” if they had not had reassignment surgery.

Triffid

Yet, when I wander around airports in my underpants, to save them time, it's like I'm the bad person. 🙂

And on cue...

It wouldn't be my intention to ever be unkind. Hopefully, my posting history backs my outlook up. It's important that others, like Tommy and Nick, have pointed out what they consider to be bullying, and for others, like yourself, to provide possible scenarios that could help with understanding. Also, in how such behaviour triggers others, and things they could do to deal with that. I don't take any of that lightly. My intention is not to judge. It's to outline long standing patterns, that have impacted my activity here, and perhaps others too. I find an ongoing awareness of them helps in how I react. In a forum this big, there's not much any number of us won't have had some sort of experience of. So, on balance I'm more aligned to...

Perhaps Leicester could take along Vestergaard videos to any hearing, and get the points deduction reduced, as some punishments clearly already in place. 🙂

And others, in the Shortbread Assembly, over reaching themselves to keep to discredited views. https://wingsoverscotland.com/the-disgrace-of-holyrood/

When your side needs an equaliser, being taken off when you're an attacker isn't a good look. Wilder may have thought he'd be less effective against a compact defence. He also had Moore there to act as a target man. I may be being too kind there. I do recall a decent run from deep for an attempt. From the goals videos I saw, he does better in pacey end to end games, where there's space to run into. RussBall was a dreadful fit. It would require him to drop much deeper, and have pace to then get up onto the end of moves.

It's no surprise he acts in bad faith on these forums, since he has little understanding of faith. If anything, MLG is much like a kindergarten bully. The entire board is subjected to it, and the tone changes, much like having a stroppy kid in your class. Attention seeking: All the threads that end up focused on his attitude. Then there's things like the transfer window thread where he got all passive aggressive with those posting news before he could.mixed in with the "breaking news MLG" which he clearly enjoys and is fine. Undermining others: Will always look for a gotcha, whether the original post is fully read or understood or not. These will be mixed in with sometimes useful corrections, but when the corrections are wrong... Nearly everyone else is happy to give the benefit of the doubt and discuss like grown ups (mostly...well...often anyway) with a common interest. Never wrong: I can't think of many who are more factually incorrect on the board. A lot of it due to jumping in without thought combined with delusions of intelligence and self importance. As above, everyone else just happy to have a chat where we can all express ourselves and learn. I can't think of anyone else where being right or wrong particularly matters that much. Actions extend to changing arguments/points or regularly editing original posts, as we saw above and a week or so back too. Blaming others: Combined with never being wrong, it will be our fault, or recently other FM thread creators, or SI or anyone else. Huffs: When things don't go to plan, there's always just abandoning the derailed thread. When we had The Great Sulk, the tone of the place really improved after a couple of weeks. When he's here, any number of threads can be impacted by the same attitude. Before the huffs, we see someone with the emotional intelligence of a child stubbornly clinging on, regardless of reason, with no consideration to anyone else around them. Actions & Consequences: Since in his mind he's never wrong, and it's never his fault, every thread is a fresh start to repeat the same behaviours. It's been that way from the start. Different people, putting up with it, just have different tolerance levels of when to call it out. There's not much hope in it changing, but we can have some faith that it will one day. So, as odd as it seems, a number of the poor attitudes, you'd be telling your kid off about, are actually shown by MLG. As egg said "intolerant, belligerent, clueless, and dishonest" I see some of the rest of us just react to it in different, and long suffering, ways. I think that some, seeing the responses of those preparing for another slew of nonsense, and trying to put an early stop to it, consider the reactions as preemptive bullying. But, as above, there are reasons for it.
