Don't agree, Shakey. I think it shows just how passionate he is about the club. In fact, I can totally empathise with him - I had to take Mrs H out in Manchester for a birthday meal on Saturday night and it was a real effort to keep a smile on my face and a cheery line of chat issuing forth, as I was hurting like hell inside...still, maybe, I, too, am made of wood! :D

there may be a moral there wyn? you picked yerself up, pasted a smile on yer kisser n got on with things, therein i think is the difference.;)

Re: Clueless substitution?
 

Wyn, I agree with much of what you say. We know the problems the club has with finances, attendacies and facilities etc. These facts have been well documented on this forum and elswhere. We'll struggle to move on whilst we're always trying keep our head above water. Hey, its taken 40+ years to get back in the league. In the mean time I'm a football supporter and football supporters don't just stand there with buttoned lips. When they see their team losing they tend to shout and holler. If they think the manager's got it wrong, they'll shout and holler at him too. When we lost against
Bradford with 10mins to go, I didn't go home thinking 'well we've got no money or a decent ground and facilities'.....no, I'm thinking '---- we've lost a game we could and should have won'
I've never said that Coley should be replaced, in fact, right now that would probably open another can of worms, but nobody is right all the time, football genius or not. He's done some great things for the club but nobody is that infallible. (If you were to ask him, he's probably embarrassed by the 'football genius' thing anyway)
Macca of the 'old skool' talks of moaners and newcomers. All sounds a bit elitist to me but if moaning is having independant thoughts and expressing them, then I'm a moaner. This is a forum, after all. As for newcomers, I was around in '62, does that absolve me?

Now 'e is an old bard, but to get back to the thread, can 'e play right wing ?

Re: Clueless substitution?
 

Yep, Yonmon, you could definitely call me an artist (although, Cashy, sadly, is an ex-artist these days)...come to think of it, back in the day, Reamer used to be something of an artist himself! ;) :D

Re: Clueless substitution?
 

That's it exactly Cashman - Coleman's first priority on Saturday should have been to try & pick the lads spirits up not wallow in his own self pity, I'd have a lot more respect for him if he could admit when he's made a mistake instead of blaming everyone & anyone else - but I don't reckon that will happen anytime soon so I won't hold me breath :rolleyes:

Re: Clueless substitution?
 

the 'moaners' I particularly refer to are the non-stop numpties who have given this board a bad name in the previous few months.

I have no problem whatsoever with people expressing their views, be them good or bad, but there are a few who constantly bring up the same tired view with the same tired arguments. They might be valid but its old ground - so day after day is moaning for moanings sake!

.... and by old skool I was referring only to those of us who can remember losing every week as an annual ritual! I don't remember the seventies and early eighties when we barely lost a game. But I was brought up on a diet of Stanley finishing mid-table mediocrity at best for 15 years. I'm still here and if I have to watch another 15 years of mid-table mediocrity at best then I will do so happily :)

Touche........err yes...that would be my abstract period

Re: Clueless substitution?
 

At the moment, Macca, mid table mediocrity in league two would suit me fine
