Season 2017/18 scapegoat

[mancunianblade]

We Had any confirmation on who the boo boys will target this season? I have a feeling it will be Hanson but there is a part of me saying Basham for the rank outsider to come in for the sharp end of the odd tongue lashing (Ooh Err)

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Should have gone for a poll.

I'm going for Nathan Thomas. Some of the Hartlepool fans' comments rang alarm bells for me and it makes me think he could wind some fans up. Not me, I'm chilled as fuck.

 

[FTPE]

You mean the player that doesn't perform? It'll be Hanson then.
Bit of a negative thread really because I think they'll almost all step up but if it's the fans you're trying to moan about... then yes I think it'll be Hanson that gets questioned the most.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Mancunian Blade for me. I think folks will soon tire of him starting negative threads for no reason and get on his back...

 

[Tyler Durden]

Our Billy.

I'm sure they'll think of a reason along the way.

 

[1888to1889]

No one will be a scapegoat under wilders watch his ethics and team spirit will get stronger ,new squad players will quickly realise this and step up to the mantel .
No need for negative post
Keep the faith

What the shit is this shit ?

Nathan Thomas sounds like he could be the next Febian brandy with some of the Hartlepool comments

He's already crossed more good balls in than Brandy ever did and he's only played one friendly.
I've no problem with characters, we don't want divas but I can deal with players being mardy as long as they deal with it in a positive way.
Basically I rate Thomas already and think he will do well this season.

Ched.

Absolutely let's get out blocks first FFS

 

[Antonb]

Hanson, going by yesterdays performance. Thomas is also a good shout. Didn't show much skill or trickery, which I thought he had been brought in for. Hope I'm wrong of course, and they both do well.

 

[sufcboy95]

Ched.

Reckon that's a good shout, if he fails to recapture his best form, the ched haters will be out in force

 

[McGrath]

Basham.... No matter how well he plays someone wants to slag him off.

Poor lad

 

[JordoBlade]

Basham & Hanson without a doubt.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Wilder if we are bottom 3 after 10 games - Blades will have forgot all about last season.

 

[mancunianblade]

Number of people Missing the sarcasm of the post and poking fun at those who need to blame some over nothing. already hearing/reading things after one game, Although it is interesting to try pre empt who people will inevitably target. and probably pine after once they drive them out of the club

 

[Liaminho9]

Fleck. Team carried him last season. Not physical enough for the Championship. League One was far less rough.

 

[Tom Traubert]

tell you what lets not fucking have one this year, up the fucking blades.

 

[mancunianblade]

tell you what lets not fucking have one this year, up the fucking blades.

I would love that, but there will be one who through no real fault of their own becomes one.

I'm predicting this year it's one of those who is underserving ie a Quinn,Monty Doyle type where 110% isn't a good enough rather than a Hammond,JMac Nosworthy one.

Hope you are right though

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

The sarcasm of this thread is wasted on some.

Co op cart horse. Hands down. Understand WHY !!!!!!!!!!

Scapegoats tend not to be good players that stand out for all the right reasons. Even in poorly performing sides.

Scapegoats stand out because they stand out. For ALL the wrong reasons.

End of thread.

UTB

 

[Cerberus Blade]

First time Moore let's a goal in I'm onto him. Got the voodo doll out already.

Scapegoats stand out because they stand out.

Wow! Some deep Zen bollocks in there somewhere.

"A brick is a brick, because it is a brick......(unless there is no-one to hear it fall)".

Co op cart horse. Hands down. Understand WHY !!!!!!!!!!

Warming up for the booing and abuse already eh?

No point in giving him a chance to see he if he can perform a role in the Championship is there? Might as well just get on with the job of booing him right now.

BOOOOO!

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Hanson can hardly be a scapegoat from the bench/stand.

See previous.

Booing is bollocks. Those that Boo are akin to the actions of a petulant child.

You carry on defending what is patently undefendable.

Patently?

He has never even played a game in the Championship, so how can it be 'patently' when you haven't seen him play at this level.

Roll on the evening of 5/8 when you can post all manner of tripe about how shite he was. Even if he doesn't play, I wouldn't let that stop you.

Get the boot in man and give him a good kicking!

 

[Grecian2000]

Can this be the official first "no idea what a scapegoat is" thread of the new season then.

Players who play shit and are called out for it are NOT scapegoats (i.e. "someone who accepts the blame for what someone else has done").
I predict, as with most seasons, there won't be one.

 

[Danny_Boy]

100% Billy Sharp.

"he drives a porche so he should score more"

"he has a private reg plate, so he must have an attitude problem"

"Needs to be dropped for Clarke" that is my personal favourite.

If he goes a couple of games without a goal the usual suspected will be out in force.
