Newman.
You made a postdirected at me a few months ago.
You said my posts suk these days & the forum was boring.
it stung me. It really did.
I loved the forum, loved having fun on here & loved talking the footy.

However that is all but gone.

you could hold a picture up of a baby murdered by e1, & you would have to defend yourself for doing it.

Let is it slide.

real football analysis is gone from the forum.

In regards to your original post, you are spot on & I'm sure the people with enough energy to care on here thankyou for the post.

But, save your energy from now on.
Post your stuff, then let it slide, if you can be bothered, is my tip.

is that not the purpose of a forum - varying opinions and discussion???

why should everyone be of the same priciples and opinions?

that would defeat the purpose of a message board and its discussion?

Not quite true. I said that you had become "more cryptic" than ever. And I stand by that analysis.

The wheels are in motion, reefer. Dont worry old son.

although i understand your point - that is not what i asked

how can you say the forum sux because peoples opinions vary?

that is the purpose of these boards - difference of opinion

Spider - you are becoming too sensitive in your defence of Noddy.
If a negative pattern is emerging in any team no matter what the sport it needs to be corrected.

Tubby Taylor was banished as captain of One dayers whilst Test captain due to losses.
Replaced by Tugger who was in turn replaced by Punter when he was test captain.
punter is winning both forms so is captain for both.

For us there is a pattern of losing close games -WHEN WE ARE LEADING WITH 10 MINS TO GO - which needs to be corrected.

There is obviously a fault because something ain't working.
Whose fault is it?
Hard to say - and not one man, but...
Well, captain is a good place to start for this one.

Why?
Because it is a mental problem ("we're gonna get run down")
And a motivational problem.

its our defence that is not holding in the final quarter

Spider - you are becoming too sensitive in your defence of Noddy.

Comparing a cricket captain and league captain is absurd.

A cricket captain determines tactics, field positions, bowler and batsman rotation, when to declare, when not to declare, etc etc.

A league captain decides which way to kick off and when to take the 2, take the tap. pretty much it.

He's our halfback, who is our captain

He decides where to steer the team

He decides when and where to kick

He decides where to pass

He decides who to bark orders at

The dumb cutie also decided that a 1 try lead was enough against the cows


disgraceful ....and a perfect example of why the sharks are such a boring side to watch

And if the chief distributor has shut up shop, what chance do those around him have of creating something, when it's the shut shop that provides them with service

it's crystal clear ...there's no grey

there is definately no grey - he does not choose which tackles players should miss either

Negative play influences all factors of the game

How many times do you see a team get run over when they start to play with the sole purpose of protecting their lead.

you wouldnt blame the captain if the third man dropped a sitter now......

Come now spider, that would depend whether or not Dykes was third man or not.

Come on Cheese, I prefer Dykes over Kimmorley, but even I admit I was pretty fuggen entertained by the footy we dished up against one of the competition heavyweights with No Dykes in sight.

That reply is the most uneducated, ill-informed pile of crap i have ever read on these forums.
Including anything by Konsty or Dimitri.

Well done idiot.
