TheReds

Please give me some attention, pretty please.

And they shall be known as "The Barcelona of the Gloucestershire County League" .

Exactly. That's the issue though, loads of them couldn't even see past what Barton was doing because now and again they would play a bit of entertaining football. The issue though was it was with other clubs players. Multiple loans season after season will not do you much good, but that didn't seem to matter. It seems hardly any of them can see anything longterm (quite surprising really when the main man is know to say "these things take time", it is about the now. If Taylor is given hardly any money then how is he meant to build for the future. I honestly don't see him given a lot, and then they won't be challenging next season, unless he is a miracle worker. I'd give it 10 games and if they haven't had a great start he will be gone and it's back to square one again. Their season ticket sales is going to be terrible as well imo, ground improvements (if any) will be budget stuff, and they will still all be saying how great their support is and how they need a minimum 20,000 stadium. I am sure one day it will hit home, but unsure when that day is.

The issue here is that it has been going on for years, my deluded Rovers mate still thinks all these loans and freebies is the way to go. I told him it will hit them hard at one point sooner or later with no planning and no youngsters coming through. They all just seem to bury their heads in the sand. The majority seem to want Taylor gone, but what are they expecting any new bloke to come in and do? They have a full rebuild, and if there isn't any money they will be struggling next season, lose a few at the start and will all be Taylors fault because they want him gone, and then another one comes in and inherits the same mess. The only way a lot of them will see any sense is if Taylor walks and says it how it is, and you can bet they will still say they are massive and will be on for promotion next season though.

Is Vyner possible? I thought I read somewhere he was out for a few weeks.

That must be a rarity, and guess it is pot luck who receives the complaint their end and removes a listing? I used to go on an art forum and loads of the eBay fake stuff got highlighted on there, multiple listings got reported and I never seen a single thing get taken down. One seller had made thousands selling the same fakes multiple times, and even got reported to Action Fraud for months on end by multiple people, still nothing was done about it.

People claim what they want on eBay and eBay don't care as they will take their slice of the pie after an unsuspecting buyer has basically been ripped off. You only have to look at all the Banksy fake stuff that gets sold through there (and plenty of "auction" houses"). Even if you report something that is 100% fake they will rarely remove it.

22/23 - 34 games, 5 goals, 2 assists 21/22 - 36 games, 6 goals, 1 assist 20/21 - 42 games, 15 goals, 8 assists (League one) I reckon a few people would have moaned if we signed him in the last couple of years, yet he's being talked of now that we let some World beater go who has been doing it week in week out the moment he left us. He's having an amazing season, everything seems to have clicked, good luck to him, but it all seems a bit odd on here blaming whoever they can for letting him go.

Am I the only one who sees this Szmodic obsession (maybe the wrong word) as a little bit OTT? The majority of the comments I read on here reads like he left us at the end of last season and he's suddenly tearing it up straight after he's left us. He left over 4 years ago, his record up until this season hasn't been exceptional whatsoever, and there is a strong possibility he wouldn't even be here now regardless.

If that smoke was blue you could easily be mistaken and think it was the Memorial after they beat Scunthorpe.

He told me it is the same as the digital season ticket, there is no QR code at all. If that is what you meant, apologies if not.

He told me he couldn't just forward a screenshot as it won't work, there is no QR code. I had this issue not long ago at a gig and had to go back out to get someone else entry as he couldn't get there at the same time as the rest of us and a screenshot wouldn't work. At least at gigs/venues I have been to where it is paperless it is someone with a hand held scanner, so no issues if you have 8 tickets as they just scan all 8 mobile tickets and count you all in. Definitely not as quick and easy with barriers.

Why didn't they just wait 3 more games and then roll it out fully for next season with people getting some notice about it? Mate of mine has bought 6 for the Rotherham game, I can guarantee he will get in a panic with a queue behind whilst trying to scroll through them one by one to get in each individual. Also needs to have everyone with him at the same time to go in, as a screenshot forwarded to someone else won't work apparently.

You gave flames to the comment of **** off, doesn't that mean you agree with it?

Not sure if you know, but you can actually take your watch off and put it with your iPad in another room to the TV.

I don't understand how or why they just let these fouls go. Why does it make any difference if it is in the box or not? If that was by the touchline he would have went flying into the hoardings/crowd, and it would have been a foul and a definite yellow, yet in the box it's nothing at all. Same with Dickie, I can see why it wasn't given as both doing the grabbing and even with one player doing the grabbing on corners they are hardly ever given, but anywhere else it is a foul to us or to the other side, depending on who initiated it..

Any reason why the OP never chose 15 games? What were the 3 games before those 12, I just had a look..... Watford - won, Hull - won, Sunderland - won, so add those 9 points and where would we be? As much as I am certainly not convinced by what has happened, and probably agree that it actually seems we have regressed, it does show that plenty on here will choose what to present to suit their own stance (both sides too).

Just go and read your own posts on the match day threads, any chance of a dig at Max and you seem to be there. My initial post basically shows exactly how it is, I've mentioned how you say its a "Max fan club" and your own reply to @italian dave is calling anyone who refuses to give him anything but praise are his "lead cheerleaders". Plenty of your posts are along the same lines. If he makes a save and gets a bit of praise you are on it with "he should save that", "it's straight at him", "awful strike" etc etc, and then start calling people cheerleaders and his fan club. Reality imo, is in general people are saying he has done something decent, as he gets plenty of flak on here (something which you seem to have missed). He's probably a standard Championship keeper, not the best and not the worst.

The poster thinks anyone who has one single good thing to say about Max is "one eyed", but cannot see he is exactly what he is describing you as, but just the other way around.

Said with no irony whatsoever. How many negative posts have you made about Max in the last few match threads? Any person who has the audacity to say he's a fairly decent Championship keeper gets shot down by you every single time to be part of a mythical "Max O Leary fan club". Yet say nothing about the same group of people constantly having a dig at anything he does get wrong. He's made some mistakes, he's made some great saves, he's probably won us more points than he has cost us imo, but the chance to get a dig in at any slight error is just tiresome.

So do tell, who was available to Pearson for free, because he didn't have any money to spend did he? Or let's pretend he had some cash, who should he have bought?

Good grief, the desperation simply to not to give Max any credit.

That's how I interpreted it, hence my questioning the "several weeks" by one poster.

How many do/have Chelsea discarded though. How long was Kalas out on loans before actually being sold, he was their longest serving player wasn't he at one point with absolutely no chance of playing for them. A few years ago they had around 45 players out on loan. Man City getting rid of youngsters with the buy back is a completely different model to Chelsea keeping hold of a huge amount of theirs.

In theory all are for the future aren't they? The way your initial post was worded I read it as he won't be getting in the squad at all because he only played a friendly as his last appearance. His last game was last Monday according to himself, that's certainly not several weeks ago. I also never said he would walk straight into the team and propel us up the league. Just because he hasn't played all these professional games it doesn't mean he won't make us better, it also doesn't mean he will. Out of interest how many professional games did Tammy play for Chelsea before coming here on loan, and did he improve us in your opinion?
