Tyrone Shoelaces

This league is there for the taking for any decent team with intelligent management.

I can’t see anybody paying much of a fee for him to be honest. Not now.

Yeah, he doesn’t usually last this long into the season.

You’ve got to wonder wether the players are unhappy with the system and have no faith in it.

When I was playing that was an absolute no-no. Under no circumstances would you do that on pain of being subbed.

Correct, what I was getting at. No matter who we get in it’s still the classroom when the teacher is called away.

How many managers have we had since Sam ? How many players have we had since Sam. Why is it we have never managed to instil a fighting spirit at the club in all that time ? When we got promoted it was because we could out play teams because even then we never out fought anybody !

There’s a lot of bullshit in the modern game. Complicating what is essentially a simple game.

Add that to the very, very, very long list of game we’ve lost after going behind. Our desire and will to win has to be questioned.

We look a bit light up front there.

I hope they move it to 1.00am on Sunday morning. I’m sick of it already. If ever a programme has “ jumped the shark “ it’s strictly. Just don’t tell Mrs Shoelaces I said so !

It went wrong before he took Charlton off. Charlton was supposed to be man marking Beckenbauer and he let him run through from centre midfield to score the German opening goal. Charlton was subbed right after that, he was knackered.

Nobody gets banned for “ absolutely nothing “.

Sounds like he dodged a bullet then.

We could have won 8-1 on another day. That’s just football. Like Glencirbigli at home, we should have scored a pan full that night.

I remember the Ipswich game. Speedie got our consolation goal right at the death. We were awful. It’s famous for being Stuart Munro’s only game in spite of us spending £650,000 on him. I think that was the final straw for Jack.

Wasn’t Shefti Kuqi playing for them ?

Well what might have been a good job for him, at Forest, may not become vacant for a while now. Having said that - if they keep losing a new contract for Cooper will mean nothing. I think Leicester would see Dyche as below them if they pull the trigger on their guy soon.

Job for Dyche ?

Yeah games we were well in control of then let slip. Southampton away and Norwich away are two that spring immediately to mind.

We played some great football doing it as well but it was never going to last. He was too confrontational with players.

Wow, great minds think alike eh ? I posted that before I read your post.

Mark Hughes was a terrible trainer allegedly.

Sshh. My Rugby League team were playing at Oldham a while back. The teams came out at halftime and they’d been playing for about five minutes when somebody on our bench noticed that Oldham had an extra player. They’d come out with 14 instead of 13 ! Cue much confusion until they decided who was going off.

Yeah I know. I’d been playing that day and we all used to jump off the bus in town outside the Radio Rentals TV shop to see the scores coming in on the teleprinter on the TV’s in the window. When it came up Oxford Utd 3- Blackburn Rovers 1 we all said that must be wrong it’ll probably be the other way around. That used to happen from time to time but not this time. A similar shock was when I opened the first paper on my paper round to see - Blackburn Rovers 1- Workington 5 .
