Racy

Fuck me, must have been a big session celebrating afterwards, I’ve lost a whole year.

Perhaps they should try less.

The FA cup isn’t what it was, it’s been down graded and ruined by a series of small steps that taken individually don’t appear much, but added together has killed it. It’s just like foreign cups were/are. Without getting into all the cup win / relegation arguments, you can bet your life Brendan Rodgers would rather finish 4th than win the cup. Think about that for a minute, a club that have never won the cup, a manager that’s won fuck all in England and he’d rather finish 4th ( I realise he could have both). That’s how far it’s fallen.

Wtf was that?

Here’s some fit ones to celebrate.

This whole thread is racist, a bunch of white privileged blokes commenting on the topic. In fact I’d say the whole board is racist. Discussing semi finals, JWP, Ralph and injuries whilst totally ignoring important cultural events like “Muslim women’s day”. Disgraceful. If it was white or Hispanic chick day, there’d be loads of photos and posts celebrating.

Sexist

Captains don’t duck out of the way when the ball is going to hit them in the face. I’d have stripped him of the honour after that. You can’t have a bottle job leading the troops.

He played for Forest when they were relegated, so your post falls down.

The hyperbole is ridiculous right across the board. We top the league for all of about 20mins and it starts, the over exaggeration of Ralph is bizarre, a few pages of the Ings thread had some claiming he was one of our best ever strikers and now we have JWP being called superb, the best in the world at free kicks, and deserving of a massive move. It’s a wonder that we’re in the bottom half of the table with such great talents at the club. How often does he play a killer pass, it’s sideways backwards all the time. Stats don’t tell the story, the reason he doesn’t give the ball away is he never takes a risk and therefore never really creates anything away from free kicks. How often does he make a forward run behind the oppositions back 4. How often does he run with the ball and beat a man or get us quickly up the pitch. More importantly, how often does he disrupt play, stop the opposition from playing and smash a few. Without OR in there he looks like a little boy lost defensively and he’s a poor poor captain. He wouldn’t get anywhere near a “best side we’ve had since promotion”. He’s doing better than he ever has done before, but was starting from a low base. If you took Rickie Lambert or Matts free kicks away, they’d still get in the side, I doubt Prowse would, or if he did, we’d be in scapegoat territory. Nice lad, good son in law material, honest pro, but midtable player.

It was only a cartoon ffs, unbelievable that anyone can place any blame the teachers way. This is England for gods sake, not Pakistan.

So however bizarre and fucked up a religion is, you have to pander to it. If you get your head chopped off than it’s your fault for being an ignorant twat. If some Christian nutter chopped up John Cleese for The Life of Brian, would you think it was johns fault for being ignorant? I guess not.

They never think of the fans when they pick kick off times. Travelling from the dining room to the lounge is a nightmare at that time of day and it’s going to clash with Line of Duty if extra time is needed. If it goes to extra time and penalties in could be 11:15pm before I get upstairs to bed.

Minaminos wages will not be reasonable, Theo will want a signing on fee, and Adams isn’t good enough to replace Ings. Other than that, great scenario.

Only on the play station. Where you shoot from, who against, what stage of the game, how important it is, what’s the score at the time, all make a difference. I’ll bet my life he wouldn’t have banged in the one David Beckham did against Greece.

The tv deal gave them first choice of semi final.

What’s Prowse’s career record overall. Because until recently he was hardly banging them in. The debate is pointless anyway because Prowse wouldn’t be taking free kicks in a decent side, he’d be sat on his arse with the stiffs.

I’d sell him before he gets found out. Emperors new clothes if you ask me. Not a patch on Victor or Morgan, he’s in the Cork /PEH bag. Too one paced, safe, weak and polite to be a top top player. Good son-in law, but until we have special teams ala American football wont be more than a mid table player.

They are about to trail this, it’s been delayed because of Covid, but is back on agenda. AI will track each player and offside will instantly buzz on an officials monitor, as it does with goal line at the moment.

How does it work if there’s a free kick on the edge of the area. The attacking team could put 8 players in the 6 yard box.

Does anyone know the 2 time slots, are they set already. For example SF1 will be Sat 5pm, SF 2 will be sun 4pm, or do they decide later when they pick the matches

When will we know KO time & date?

The difference in fitness, skill level, diet, pitches , rules and even the ball, make it seem like a different game. When I was 18 I played a couple of seasons with Dave Jones (ex Norwich & famous for the “handball” in a Wales/Scotland World Cup qualifier). He reckoned the first tackle was always a freebie, and that was accepted by everyone, he even claimed that if you didn’t clog the centre forward early doors, you were considered “soft”. He also said the forwards first one was also free, and that they we’re as tough as any centre half. He always said he preferred playing against Mavericks like Rodney Marsh, because although they’d make you look stupid once or twice a game, it was easier than being constantly battered by the other type of centre forwards around at the time. He reckoned Dalgliesh was the hardest opponent he played against because he’d do both , make you look stupid and smash you given half a chance.
