Clutching at Straws (SWINE STYLE)

[SwissBlade]

To me that reeked of a lack of preparation and perhaps a lack of respect. Duffy has a lovely change of direction but he won't get by a player with pace. You just need to stand up and follow the ball.

Brilliant from Duffy but a multi million pound defender should do better.

Oh, and...

For a Dutch defender, he should do better, one thing about the Dutch is that they coach their kids young in scenario's like this. If it was a goal from a physical battle, a ball in the air, pace etc then i'd understand it, but this should be his bread and butter.

The Wednesday fan may or may not have a point, I don't know of this law being infringed by a roll seen as multiple touches though. It would be unlike a ref to miss this.

However, bigger concerns for them
- persistent fouling
- not closing the shot down on the freekick
- diving into tackles all over the pitch on Brooks (this freekick and the second half nutmeg)
- poor tracking of slow striker Clarke
- Poorly organised midfield
- leaving Clarke unmarked prior to their 2nd ( missed chance)
- New Dutch superstar defender allowing Duffy to beat him twice, not blocking the shot
- Westwood getting beaten on his front post

Theres probably more, but these are off the top of my head

I have too many favourite moments to even start a list, but one that stood out was near the end: They played a ball across their defence to Hunt, who misjudged it, had to chase it to the touchline, got there, tried a fancy back heel to keep it in, fucked it up and stood there watching it roll agonisingly out, whilst 30,000 (no, wait, just the ones left in the ground, so 4,000) pigs booed him.

He's arguing, not very well, that Brooks rolling the ball counts as him having multiple touches of the ball before Fleck smashes it home

Can't Wednesday players get the ball to roll along the floor without having to keep moving it along then?

Derby games turn some players into a Legend, whilst others turn into a Bellend

 

[Hamburg Blade]

I think the reaction to this piggies question is a little over the top - he hasn't questioned the result, so he's not some frothing at the mouth rabid oinker, he's just raising a question of the rules, namely does a free kick have to be kicked or can it be rolled under the foot? It's a perfectly reasonable question and the reaction that he's looking for an excuse is too much.
I've never heard of anyone saying it can't be, but I'm no referee.

The'll have a hell of a job trying to untwist that Dutch lads legs, the lanky chuff was made to look a reight pillock!

Don't know, ask one of them!

Poor Hunt, had a terrible afternoon, Brooks nutmeg and even booed by his own

They’re a sad, classless and desperate lot aren’t they? They’ll clutch at any straw that drifts by and do everything they can to deflect from our successes. Let’s remind ourselves of such NKT gems as...

“They might have won promotion but that’s the worst league one ever..”
“Sure they got 100 points and the title but it’s only the pub League...”
“The gap between the Championship and League One has never been greater, it’s like going from the pub League to La liga 2...”
“They’ll struggle to get 20 points...”
“Just wait until Brentford tear them a new one in the opening game, they’ll know just how far behind the standard they are...”
“Brentford will struggle this season...”
“Barnsley will be a bigger test, they know what this league is all about...”
“Barnsley are shite!...”
“Derby will hammer them...”
“Just been talking to a Derby fan, he says they haven’t got a clue...”
“Bolton will have something to prove, Madene to scrore a brace and the rot will set in...”
“Bolton are shocking, they’ll be down by Christmas...”
“Sunderland looked good on the box last week, I fancy them to give dem Blades a spanking and start the rot..”
“Sunderland are going to do a Blackburn and fall through the leagues...”
AND FINALLY...
“They’ve not played anybody as good a Wednesday, this could be embarrassing for them if we start off on the front foot. We could better the BDM, totally smash them...”
Wednesday were hopeless today, anybody could have beaten us, United are a poor side...”

So it seems that in the minds of the deluded, we could even win La Liga 2 and we’d still be a “poor side’ because if (I suspect) we haven’t blown enough cash on over-payed gutless journeymen who don’t give a toss, how can we possibly be any good?.

By the way did their £8-10m super-striker actually touch the ball when he came on? I’ve watched it back, I’m not sure that he did you know.

It was established in another thread that he had four touches - all with his head. Not one single kick in nearly half an hour!

 

[Houston_Blade]

Rang my dad today to talk about the game, he was telling me what some of the grunters at work had been saying. The best one was that "Clarke is a useless donkey". Says an awful lot about their defenders tha comment.

 

[Pinchy]

Poor old Ja. I think that's his first name?

I'm nicking those quotes, if that's okay GB?

He might just have a point..................

He is a pig and as of yesterday they got no points.

pommpey, you are of course perfectly at liberty to change your avatar and especially when it takes the piss out of that lot. Please bear in mind however that the jovial Pugwash image is indelibly linked to matelots and the desso. This may mean I am slow or more worryingly may completely miss, chances to abuse and attack you.

Of course on Bouncing Day Massacre +1, I am still in too good a mood to attack any fellow Blade.

 

[Black Country Blade]

He's comparing us to Barcelona, La Liga it is then

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Next they will be asking whether a midfielder is allow to shoot.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Yes. Good idea. Here they are.

Ps thanks for this, my friend!

4000. Did you get a bang on the head and suffer double vision?
The cheers from us would have drowned the boos out anyway
