Quinny talking about Wilson. Says it all really. Respect and decency - somat Blackie and Alehouse could only dream about.

"Respect and decency" - something you show a lot of in your remarks about McCabe.

You keep clapping away Broomhill - Kevin McCabe - cut him in half and his blood will be red and white stripes, Super Blade - stood on Kop for years and had the brilliant idea in 2008 ish of linking SUFC Ltd (perfectly legitamately of course) with a multi-million pound loss making property company - I love him so much and am so grateful we even have a side to watch.

I really felt his respect and decency during his beattie interview and during the laughable fans forum - we will not rely on loans etc etc.

To be fair Broomhill, I have often said he can do whatever he wants with his companies - just that his decisions on owt to do with football have been an outrage.

To be honest Mic, i was speaking to a swindon fan about him at the weekend, and he said much the same thing. For Danny i think it's going to all about the difficult second season.

As long as that is back in the Champ he deserves the chance to lead it.

he may well be bang on but what else do you expect to him to say when asked? Such quotes border on the meaningless.

I'm sure plenty of players said nice things about Robson, Blackie, Warnock etc when he was their manager. When was the last time you publicly slagged your boss off?

 

[Mendi]

so far its been good by Wilson but he under pressure to dilverly no matter what fans says or players about Danny Wilson.

 

[Pinchy]

But Quinn went over and above the standard "Gaffer has my support". His radio interview revealed genuine admiration for DW and surprisingly candid criticism of 'the last two managers' - despite the inaccuracy he was clearly talking about Quickfix Micky and The Former Semi-pro, Non-league, Reserve Goalie.

Incidentally DW has now won more games in a month than Quickfix did in half a season. Maybe our hoof loving fans will now see the light?

Yes ,or the voices in your head as matron calls them

 

[Pinchy]

I'm still waiting to hear if you agree with Stephen Quinn?

 

[judge]

why don't you ask the hoofball lovers while you are all sat round your breakfast table eating coco pops ?

 

[Pinchy]

I'm asking you. Do you have an answer?

 

[bricktop]

Questions are discreet but answer never are

A hoof is part of a horses or similar animal’s foot. I'll assume that this reference is something to do with the fact that if a horse (or similar animal) kicked a ball it would go a long way. So are you suggesting that there are lots of people who like to see the ball kicked a long way in a game of football instead of variations of a passing game? If you are then you know some type of people that I don't know. Are some of them members of this forum and if so would you care to name them so they could either defend themselves against your accusations or explain why they like that particular system of play.
Otherwise we can just take this expression (hoof ball) and decide it was something out of your imagination (or someone else’s imagination) that you just liked the sound of and has no basis in fact.

Meanwhile - back on thread - -

I'd heard similar things from a couple if ITKers. Seems that DW is more open to suggestions and comments from players - and I'd expect some of the more experienced players to be able to make meaningful comments by this stage in their careers - and that DW handles criticism in a more constructive way than past regimes (going back to at least Robson in my knowledge). Players can speak their minds with less fear of finding themselves dropped for the next game.

If all this is true - it shows some piss-poor man management from managers who should have known far better.

Seems like an attempt to wind up and ridicule a view on football that nobody on here has advocated. As it so simplistically implies there are two ways of playing football it ususally leads to pointless debates, rather than interesting ones where we can discuss how to keep improving.

Wilson seems a great bloke, and although like most managers he doesn't give too much away in terms of tactical preferences, I enjoy listening to his interviews.

[Jim Chimmerney]

I'd forgotten that Squinny played for DW when he went out on loan to MK Dons. Probably a big factor in him not pushing for a move.

Me! I quite like to see the ball kicked a long way in a game of football. Don't get me wrong, I have followedThe Blades for over 50 years and enjoyed seeing them play some neat stuff but one of the most exciting periods was under Bassett when we used to explode out of defence with Deane and Agana on a cavalry charge and overpower teams. With the right players, its effective and yes, very entertaining. Just becauseArsene Wenger didn't invent it or give it his seal of approval doesn't mean it isn't football.

Of course when it wasn't working it was dire to watch.

Its an attempt to get the poster to actually back up his claims about his perceived opposites. Are you not sick of seeing these terms, it would seem so from the bit highlited in bold. Its funny how you decide to have a go at me, when actually your statement from above shows your disaproval of the other posters constant reference to a perceived desciptive style of football.

As for your second part about Wilson I totally agree with you.

Thanks for your honesty but from what you say above your saying there is a time during a game and possibly even a place. Your open to many different styles of football not just one?

 

[Balham]

Of course when it wasn't working it was dire to watch.

There is a big, big difference between "long ball" and "long pass". Bassett aimed for the latter, telling the defence to aim passes over the opposition for Deane and Agana to run on to.

Under Blackwell and then Adams, the long ball wasn't aimed particularly well. It was a means of getting the ball away from our goal into an area where the opposition are statistically less likely to score from - their half. Unfortunately, last season it almost inevitably led to us giving away possession and inviting pressure.

Proper football, as I see it, should involve a combination of tiki taka short, incisive play to feet; channel balls for wingers and overlapping full backs to run on to and occasionally, opportunistic longer balls over the defence for a striker to run on to.

I watched Barcelona v Almeria last season at the Nou Camp. In a game that finished 3-1, Barca scored two goals from long clearances from Valdes; one led to David Villa being brought down for a penalty, the other was at the death when Almeria were pushing for an equaliser - long ball, Messi onto it, little chipped finish, game over. Almost ironically, their second goal was a Thiago (5'9") header from a corner.

It's not the method, it's the ideology that was wrong under Blackwell and Adams. Not sure Micky even had a set idea of how he wanted to play in all honesty.

 

[Pinchy]

Our player of the year, much admired by many on here, has spoken out, clearly and unequivocally, in favour of proper football. He has, in effect, condemned Blacko and Quickfix as long ball exponents who stopped him playing the game the way he wanted to and abandoned midfield play. Stephen Quinn was very unhappy. He would gladly have left. The last time he was allowed to play properly was on loan at MK Dons and Rotherham.

I think that's fascinating stuff and I agree with him. I'd have thought more people might want to comment.

The silence from regulars like Alco, Swiss, Dunc and Sitwell might be thought deafening. Judge avoids a simple question and prefers to talk about breakfast cereals.

Have we uncovered the secret conclave of the We :heart: Hoof Brigade?

You got me wrong Boo, my first sentence was referring to the same hoofball posts that you criticised. I don't like them either.

Can anyone tell me when this interview was aired, i would like to 'listen again'. Ta.

Yes, all four of us, and the myriad of voices in my head, would like to know if you agree with Quinny's condemnation of hoof and support for proper football?

Boo, you've always been an admirer of Quinny. What do you make of Quinny's remarks?

I think we now know why he used to hold his head in his hands. Have you noticed he doesn't do it now he's playing properly?
