Tyrone Shoelaces

Not the “ D” word ! One long time poster on here blew his top and bailed out when I described some of our players as “ short arses “. I thought it was fair comment given I’m only 5’8” on a good day ! I’d definitely be on the half way line as I was short but quick.

Things like that can be worked on. Work rate and willingness to run all day doesn’t come that easy.

They’re probably thinking what I’m thinking - “ Who in their right mind would stay at that circus for a minute longer than they need to ? “

I’d rather have Sammi on the half way line than back defending a corner. The opposition would have to bring one, possibly two knowing how good Sammi is, players back to mark him. It’s disappointing to see Eustace being mentioned in the list of possible PNE managerial candidates. I can see why though.

Or the Japanese lad. Is Ohashi a poor man’s Matt Jansen ? Good little header for his goal and a real thunderbolt off the woodwork. Matty would have been proud of those two.

Fleck in , Buckley out ? What a good move that would be ! At least Buckley is usually available for selection.

He looked interested last night apparently. Was he in the shop window, playing for a move ?

I thought that. Everything he hits is along the ground also. There’s a time for getting the ball a foot or two off the ground.

His attitude had been holding him back not his ability. Maybe Eustace has told him his fortune.

Don’t know mate, I don’t pick the team. Looks at the stats for tonight’s game. Pretty good for somebody who “ did very little “.

Big Bar reckons he’s crap.

I’d like him to stay, when Buckley’s on it he’s class.

Charlie Rich - Behind Closed Doors

We never learn do we ? What’s the betting we end with McFad and Baath at centre half at some point in the season ?

I used to know Ronnie Blair, who scored for Oldham, quite well back in the day. His wife was an English teacher in the same department as Mrs Shoelaces.

That’s how I see it. He’s great at this level but the step up for strikers is vast.

Bolton seem happy with the guy they’ve got. It’s early days for us but personally I think Eustace will do ok even with the “ added degree of difficulty “ the Chicken Chokers bring to the job.

Procul Harem - A Whiter Shade Of Pale Still the sound of Summer for me.

I just think give the guy a chance. His record at Big Club says he’s got something. Could be the new Don Mackay

I think we all know the answer to that one. Unless you’ve been in a coma for the last 14 years.

We’ll have a decent side out but I’ll be really surprised if it’s anything like our first 11.

You look at a player and think - what have they got. Are they, quick, strong, aggressive, two footed, can they jump, have they got a trick or two, are they good passers of the ball etc etc . With Vale I’m still waiting.

That’s him. Scored a fantastic volley against Brazil. There’s a black and white film of it on YouTube. Top notch player who would have made it big but wasn’t allowed to play in the West back then.

Same name as the Hungarian guy who scored one of the best goals in the 1966 World Cup. Jaime Farkas, he was a cracking player. I wonder if they’re related?

Both of Travis and Buckley also love getting carded.
