The Footie Thread

[Billysboots]

Who was the manager that said something along the lines “ if he is not interfering,What is he doing on the pitch”.

That was Cloughie.

. Generally not the best quality to have as a keeper

I used to have a Season ticket, right behind the goals. I have lost count the amount of times I have started a sentence with the letters F F S as the first letters of three words whilst watching him.
Probably the worst keeper I have ever seen.
Yet his trophy cabinet is amazingly full.

 

[clubchamp98]

That was Cloughie.

He was right as well.

 

[Rlburnside]

That was Cloughie.

Think that was Shankly that first came out with that

It changed significantly when VAR was introduced which was what we were discussing at the time.
The being level pretty much disappeared with the introduction of VAR as well apart from leagues which don’t have it obviously.

It seems you don’t like me as this isn’t the first time you have tried to be obtuse with something I have posted.

May I suggest you put me on ignore if I offend you so much.

I have no recollection of us discussing anything before. You certainly haven't offended me.
We're only discussing offside in football on the internet forum of a golf magazine; I'm not taking anything personally or even seriously.

A few times people have said Nicholson first said about Blanchflower

Blimey is there anyone more unbearable than Piers Morgan right now - sounds like we need to give them the title now and for the next 5 years plus the CLs

Why have you added 'right now' to this sentence?

Piers Morgan. A chap that, when his team are doing really well whilst other clubs are a shambles, gets all smug about how great his club is. Meanwhile, he takes great joy in giving his opinions on how rubbish everyone else is.

I'm sure there are others out there like him

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Very true

It seems he didn’t want to talk about the cricket instead though wanted to talk about the goal Ronaldo scored - he wasn’t impressed when someone said Portugal looked better without him

Another comment that has wasted words - if there is another person on this planet who likes to give his opinion on everything, not just football, then I have yet to hear form from them.

Surely he is on this forum then, I can think of one or two that could give him
A Run for his money.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Why is he even talked about?
Take oxygen away from a fire and it goes out.
Or is it some just can’t help themselves commenting on anything and everything?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

It’s a forum - the whole idea of a forum is to talk about things

People will comment on various things

It’s not compulsory to either read what’s posted or comment on what’s being posted

It’s always worth remembering that discussion is both positive and negative

I'm convinced his team-mates smashed in 9 goals to make sure he missed their first 2 world cup games. Also to ram home the fact they are indeed better without him.

He's one hell of an athlete mind.

Just seen the Arsenal goal how is that not offside.
Two players right in front of the keeper.
Watching Dermot on ref watch struggling trying to justify some of the rulings

The handball one he said “ non of the players asked for a red card “

That’s because they get booked themselves if they call for a booking
Couldn’t make it up.
