Does that put young Alex in libel territory?

Wouldn’t have thought so, it’s a technical detail probably most familiar to police/enforcemebt officers, motoring organisations, driving instructors and the courts, but leaving the scene is a distinct offence and set of penalties.

Love posts like this 😂 Genuinely intrigued why you think it’s Ankerson picking Baz and Downs each week? Are you blaming him for the poor quality of food and beer at the ground too? It’s all Ankerson’s fault!
I’m sure he has little involvement in any of it now he’s based in Turkey, we have a new DoF, etc.

 

Gavin is hit and miss still - some improvement but remains well off Champ standard and consistency overall. And you’ve only got to watch Downs with your own eyes…worst outfield player I’ve ever seen in a Southampton first team shirt, and that includes Ali Dia. Gavin back in the team I would strongly suspect is Rasmus’s influence - the only positive thing Still did was drop him but the goalkeeping situation has been a total mess for years. All they needed to do was loan him out and get a solid first XI keeper in for this level which McCarthy is a bit too old to be now. Not expensive, should have been sorted.

Ii would argue (and often have) that he is about average for this level. I've seen a lot worse this evening in the Premier League and to be honest none of the goalkeepers that we have faced of late has been better.

The only opposition keeper we have faced this season who I would say is actually worse than Baz is Ethan Horvath at Sheff Wednesday - an emergency loan from Cardiff after their only other senior GK got injured. But even then, I've also seen him make occasional saves of the kind that Baz has never been capable of.

He is not average for this level.

We disagree.

Evidently. 

I was going to add "which is backed up by the stats over multiple seasons" to my last sentence. But I know trying to make that point with you would be as futile as trying to teach a goldfish to ride a bike, so I didn't bother.

Part of the "trial by social media " and mob rule we are now subject to . Even when the true story becomes evident people still post the lie as fact

And he here is to defend his boy yet again, like clockwork.

You should really change your name to “Bazunu’s grandad” - I suspect that would be closer to the mark. If you’ve genuinely seen “a lot worse in the premier league” over the same course of time that Bazunu has been relentlessly and consistently not saving shots for us, I’d suggest following a different sport pal.

The club should tell her it’s a private matter. And to fuck off.

Presumably he wasn’t on club business at the time he was driving. Realising he was a shit footballer perhaps they asked him to collect and deliver a consignment of cones to Staplewood. Although seems unlikely they’d ask him to do that without training him to manage a sheep dog. Just in case one of the cones decided to give him the slip and make a run for it.
