Whitey Grandad

We need a competent keeper now. If McCarthy burns his hand doing the ironing or something then we are in understudy territory.

I’m with you here (no surprise there) but I’m going to make sure that we get there earlier on Saturday just in case.

It’s designed so that you can’t. Firstly the app has blocked screenshots and secondly the QR code that it generates changes regularly so that by the time you use the QR code it’s out of date.

Do we know any such side?

Thanks. This never used to be a problem in the ’good old days’.

The effect was greater than that. Once they had a lead they could afford to sit back and concentrate on defending it. No amount of ‘Dicking Around At The Back’©️ was ever going to entice them out and open up avenues of attack.

Yes, absolutely. The transfer effectively goes through the club. Yes it does block them. They are paranoid about somebody else using your ticket. Not that any of these measures will hamper the touts in any way.

They were three on three in our own penalty area. Playing the ball into that was suicidal.

Some of them should be put out to grass.

That presupposed that the OBR figures were accurate. They should have been, but…

The fact that you take so much delight in a 2% theft from pensioners is very revealing. Shouldn’t you go back to your cupboard under the stairs cuddling your Brexit Bonus whilst muttering “My Precious, My Precious”?

Exactly. That he did pass it goalwards just shows how indoctrinated this system is in their heads. Most footballers are simple folk. They can only do one thing at a time. That’s why the training is so important.

Aren’t they all?

Agreed. “Don’t just do something. Stand there” (The White Rabbit)

But Bazunu wasn’t available yesterday and won’t be for a long time so why bring his name up? What am I missing?

Why? He blew the whistle for a foul.

“His driver”? Why am I reminded of this?

And you still don’t. In the words of the song “Let it go…”

Correct.

Of course it did. But how and why it happened is open to debate. So is our poor defensive record.

But the opposition doesn’t have to play along. They can leave a player or two up top to chase and press but the rest of them can relax and get organised. We would have been fine if Stephens had simply turned outside and looked forward instead of towards our goal. What he did was an unnecessary risk.

It doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other. It needs to be mixed up a bit, or a lot. Otherwise we’re predictable.

Thank you for this. As far as I can see it is an unproven theory. It depends on the opposition being enticed towards your own goal in order to create spaces amongst them but thus giving this theoretical 11:10 advantage but if the opposition hasn’t read the theory and doesn’t play along it’s like tossing an expensive Ming vase around and inviting the other team to come and get it.

Too may ifs and mights.

Or rather Not Good Enough
