BS4 on Tour...

Fair enough - fair point - I always reserve judgement on a player until I’ve seen them play ‘live’ though - i’ve mentioned on here a few times that I didn’t really think Patrick Vieira was that good - but when I saw him ‘live’ my opinion changed instantly - he was immense and his ‘off the ball’ movement and intelligence was awesome - and that’s the kind of stuff you just don’t see on a tv screen when the cameras generally just follow the ball ...

No superfan mentality here - never will be - I just don’t think you can judge a player’s attributes or full contribution to a game without actually watching it ‘live’ ... that’s all - I’d never judge anyone for staying at home but I can certainly question their views on a player that they’ve only seen play on a small screen - only when he has the ball ...

Fair enough, obviously much more comfortable than actually attending games and posting credible opinions that can only be formed when watching “live” games ...

Fair enough, but it’s always easier to judge players and teams when you watch them play “live” - it’s not something you do that often is it? When I review our matchday threads on a Sunday, or Wednesday, you are prolific on there!! Apologies if I’ve got this wrong - but you do seem to pontificate relentlessly from your armchair ...

Luton Town was a non league club eight years ago ... ??

Which one?! Luton Town or Huddersfield Town ... ?!

... well they’ve laid that nine game horrendous run to rest ... ??

Very interesting stat I learned today - Huddersfield Town has never won a home game in the play offs - in nine attempts - bodes well for Luton Town tonight ... ??

Very fair comment - apologies @dave36 ...

...ahh, so you’re the Bristol Live proofreader ... ?! ??

Which is ironic in a thread on proofreading ... ??

Can’t believe you haven’t got spreadsheets on this to help out NTTDS ... ??

This was my response to @dave36 when he claimed “Chelsea never stood a chance” in their game vs Everton because of refereeing decisions and he also claimed that referees had been told that “relegation for historic clubs is to be avoided” - my response above is self explanatory - but to the list of ‘historic’ clubs who’ve been relegated from the ‘premier league’ I could add Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Wolves - yet Dave’s complete lack of response to defend his ‘position’ is so typical of some posters on here - they make outrageous allegations and claims then when someone replies they go missing, they run away and refuse to reply and join the debate - it’s very disappointing and a little bit sad ...

Superb! You just cannot beat a Jaffa Cake! Cheers ...

Only final where an orange ball was used?

That wasn’t the myth - the myth was the hysterical ones saying Rovers always got a penalty awarded to them in every game and their opponents always had someone sent off against them in every game - the red cards given to gas players ain’t a myth ...

How do you know his family ‘don’t intend on moving down’ ... ?

I did a bit of digging as I was intrigued and the list you posted for away followings in league two was from the ‘Bristol World’ website - not one of the ‘big’ ones I’d suggest - and that same website reported that the Rovers vs Scunthorpe match “sold out in one minute” - did it even sell out at all?! May not be the most reliable source of info ...

I simply pointed out that quoting a list of numbers without any mention of a source renders the list pretty meaningless and leaves you open to suggestions that you could have easily made up the numbers. If you found the info on a ‘big’ website you could have just provided a link to save having to type out the list yourself ...

Well, that’s interesting, although having followed The Jags home and away thoughout the 1980s and 1990s I know how much club loyalty means to Scottish football fans - the fact both Lee Johnson and Jamie McAllister played for the Jam Tarts would instantly turn an Easter Road crowd against them - despite futile attempts from south of the border to play down and ridicule Scottish football, I have never witnessed passion, rivalry hatred, getting behind your team and obviously caring so bl**dy much as I did during my many years following the Harry Wraggs from Maryhill - some of the memories still move me to tears ... as you were ??

What is the source of these numbers? Apologies, but nothing to say that you could have simply made them up ... thanks

She’s a lady ...

Of course I know he’s currently employed - that was a bizarre statement. You say Burnley would have no players if they were relegated? Really? They’d have zero players, every single player contracted to Burnley would simply leave???!!! ... and you say Burnley would have no money if they were relegated ... so the parachute payments would suddenly dissolve into nothingness leaving the clarets potless ...?! Oh dear ...

Why wouldn’t you employ Wilder?! Have you perused his CV?!

... yep and even Everton FC was wearing blue and white quarters 46 years before da gas thought they’d invented a world renowned, unique kit ...
