Which player is NA talking about?

[alcoblade]

So you'd keep the manager, despite being fully aware of his incompetencies and how these have a good chance of being replicated, yet you'd complain if they were? Do you see how that's not a very logical stand point? It's like Barcelona purposefully putting out their reserve team against Real Madrid and then whinging when they lose.

Oh, for fucks sake. I pointed out the stupidity of your initial question. I clearly didn't accept it as you framed it. Did you miss that, are you really that fucking stupid?

I was pointing out that I am prepared to complain about this manager, nothing more was inferred that that. I am not wedded to a position, unlike you.

Once again you prove that engaging with you, in any form, is a complete waste of time.

You said you'd complain. I'm not interested in anything else. I wanted an answer to my question. So you weren't happy with the it, what was is it about the question you didn't like?

It's pointless. Go play the village idiot elsewhere.

I'll take that as confirmation you didn't like the question, realised your answer made you look a fool, sought to make something up about not accepting the premise as a result, then topped it off above by deflecting your answer to why you didn't accept the premise, because you knew you'd made it up.

Aaah. Forum rules. The first one to say they've won takes the spoils.

It was ever thus.

No, you can take it as I was annoyed that I regret getting involved in any discussion with the forum idiot.

Like the last time when you scrolled all over the board that I wouldn't dare repeat to your face what I was writing, that I'd bottled it under pressure from you, then literally soiled yourself when I privately arranged the occasion.

If you were in any doubt, that's what making yourself look foolish is like.

You also know yourself the situation wasn't as you've just described, as even though I did go back on my word, I explained why and admitted to all concerned how idiotic I'd been.

Now what's happening is you've realised you've made a bit of a tit of yourself here and instead of just accepting this and moving on, you're desperately trying to scrape the barrel of everything that's gone on before to try and rescue it, even if it means exaggerating and pulling up untruths here and there.

If you hadn't already realised - I can read you like a book, dear.

You asked, in a Barney style, if there was a scenario when I would complain about Adkins. I pointed out I already do complain, so obviously will in future. "Complain" means "criticise decisions". It does not mean;

"So you'd keep the manager, despite being fully aware of his incompetencies and how these have a good chance of being replicated, yet you'd complain if they were? Do you see how that's not a very logical stand point? It's like Barcelona purposefully putting out their reserve team against Real Madrid and then whinging when they lose."

Which is a totally and utterly silly thing to infer from my simple statement. It really is beyond daft.

Coutts form has improved with his anfitness on a personal level

I subjected myself to watching the full game on BP ( including re-running the numerous times when we got carved open) as you suggested ( I watch every game on BP anyway - even the ones I go to). Awful display all around. On a par with some of the worst performances I have seen with very few redeeming features - I'm struggling to think of any at all. No pride in that "team" (more like a collection of strangers really - do they actually train together??). Burton look like they have been together for years which many of them have been.

I did pay special attention to Coutts in the hope of seeing something of what you see in him but which has escaped me so far. I've said before he has improved a bit this season but not massively and mainly in areas where he can work with Brayford.

I apologise though because I think I may have inadvertently borrowed your Baxter glasses when I watched because what I saw in Coutts was a player with some technical skill, a few nice flicks, very little pace, even less athleticism, defensively poor, switching off when they had the ball, ambling back when they broke past him, no real penetration or forward momentum in his passing, giving the ball away too often, marking fresh air an awful lot of the time, knackered after 50 minutes and looking like he wanted to be somewhere else. I swear he actually walks faster when the ball is dead than he runs when its in play.

Mind you there were a lot of others as bad. By the way -did we do a swop for Done's brother in the summer or something because he has looked poor all season for me. Heresy I know.

Sorry Sitters, cannot see anything special in Coutts. If he's not fit now he never will be and a professional footballer should be able to manage more than 50 minutes. He should look like he gives a shit about the club as well. Sorry but I'd junk him with the other rubbish - but we are stuck with him another year I think (loan to Donny?).

You asked, in a Barney style, if there was a scenario when I would complain about Adkins.

No, I laid out a scenario giving a perfectly clear example of what might happen, and asked if you'd complain about it after it had happened, knowing full well before it had happened, that there was a real possibility of it going on to happen. You can then refer to post #124 for what happened next.

I have "observed" his posts since being admitted onto the ward.
I can categorically state that he has no such condition.
The fact being, he's sexually retarded.

to which I replied "I'll humour your pre-loaded question and silly premise;....I'm complaining already"

Now, I can see why someone with such an obvious agenda would try to make more of this. But given my first statement, and clear stance of where I think we are right now, you cannot go on to make the conclusions you have with any credibility. I clearly rejected the premise under which you were viewing Adkins.

The forum is practically bereft if people who can find anything good to say about you. However, being fucking thick hasn't been an obvious weakness of yours, so far. Don't spoil that one now.

I clearly asked you why you rejected the premise, to which you clearly tried not answering by deflecting off subject. You have realised all this and realised everything else, and are now throwing the word "thick" about to offset the fact you've been read like a book. So will you try and answer the question now?

I'll ask you to find another phrase to fall back on when you're getting that bit desperate in a debate. I'm all for widening your vocabulary, and all that, and it might even help your own "message board game" too.

In reply, I asked you to find some more phrases to fall back on, as it appears this one may have just about run out of fuel. Or what about forgetting the backdrop phrases and "attempting", as hard as it might be, to debate? Or does "debate" do simpletons, like yourself, a little too much justice?

Thought about something else with this talking to my old man yesterday.

If Adkins says he had tactics and a plan that were totally undermined by one player. Why not get info onto the pitch, possibly via the captain who was playing on Adkins flank, to make said player stick to instructions.

Then if said player still didn't stick to the plan, why not have a set of bollocks and substitute said player for one who would stick to the plan? Changing your entire tactics in order to accomodate someone who is blatently ignoring your instructions is about the most ridiculous thing he could have done.
