big defender

i cant see what this has to do with a big defender, unless he is incontinent, (or possibly danny ****tu is joining??? , but isn,t he a striker).

A Big Defender who doesn't 'clear the ball...no Hassle'...but one who can also pass the ball to a midfielder...or a Forward..and hopefully create an opportunity to achieve what we all crave for so much...A GOAL !! (for the Reds that is!).

Just thought that I'd inject a little sanity into the enthralling badinage that is being bandied around this 'going nowhere' thread....before it gets locked...and it will !!

Or does all this witty repartee indicate that Depechemode et al have no more thoughts on the subject...a very subtle ploy indeed!.

PRETENTIOUS!.....MOI ?.....ON STANLEY!.....ON !'
 
It's not a question of whether or not people on the forum agree or disagree with the points that Depeche Mode is making. Like Harwood Red said its more about keep starting new threads about the same thing. Whilst you are perfectly entitled to your opinion (and that makes for good debate), you have to try to keep things together or else the whole forum just goes tits up if everybody makes new threads about the same thing rather than adding to an existing one.

When you log on at teatime after a days work and there are 15 new threads that you haven't read yet you start to plough through - then you find that the same thing is being said over and over. It's boring.

Many people agree with you that Coley has had his time, but many people also disagree. Instead of generating a thread where you might get 30 replies which may or may not be constructive, you ended up with 10 threads with 3 replies assuming that you were just a trouble maker here to wind everyone up - hence the negative karma.

As a long standing fan who remembers the good old (bad old?) days traipsing around the NPL you'll be a welcome and knowledgeable addition to the forum, but please observe the basic etiquette of this (or any) forum.

Yes, you were right about needing a big commanding centre half but then again we've needed one for years! Coley and Bell admitted as much at the forum a few weeks ago. They stopped just short of saying that Roberts and Webb hadn't been the additions that they expected them to be but did admit that recent transfers had been disappointing in general.

As for Brnach.... not my cup of tea at all but he looks comfier as part of a central trio/duo than he did at left back
 
phew.. thanks macca, hope that explains it depechemode... as for asking me permission..you can if you like :D;)

It was an observation on how you post...eg. loads of new threads on very similar topics, not what you post.. I am also in the camp of everyone is entitled to an opinion and anyone who tells me different ...well ask ksh :D:p

I locked your previous threads because they were boring and repetitive.
I sent you a pm telling you why I had locked the threads, you apologised and said your " son had been on messing around ". So which is it; are you boring and repetitive or just a liar ?:rolleyes:
( and for the record, I am no great admirer of Coley and certainly not a member of any clicque.)
 
after a hard days work il rather settle down with my kids and wife not sit and read all the post . am back at work tomorrow so il give you all a rest till friday

Who are you calling illiterate, depechemode or lindsay because she can't spell clique?:D:D
 
after the first couple of months i was thinking along the line that JC would have sussed who is not good enough . I was wrong and hold my hand up . I lost faith in JC , I liked him to have given Roberts a long run in the team but he just chopped and changed which he admits was wrong . A defence needs time to understand each other and they havnt been given time .

firstly i am intitled to my say as much as any1 , this forum is like whalley pubs , very clickie . secondly i have followed this club since i was 10 years old (30 years ago ) . i take both my sons to games when iam not working but since i work in care i often take clients to stanley matches . when my first son was born i wanted to call him stanley but his mother wouldnt let me stating she would not want to be heard shouting for our stanley to come in for his tea . i only just started coming on here because now my son has got a 360 i can get on the pc . i was 1 of the few people in blackburn that didnt go and watch rovers when jack walker came in . 1 of my biggest thrills was having my son as a mascot 10 years ago my second was watching stanley get into the league and my third was trying the crossbar challenge twice around new years day end. i love the club even though i do not come from or live in accy . do i still need to buy a follow stanley sticker for my new car ? yes i do . i remember going to catch the bus at intack blackburn to go to the stanley gateshead match wearing my stanley top ( hollands pie ) and having people laugh at me , did i give a hoot ? no . did i still go when rovers where top of the prem and stanley where still wondering how to get the seats from lancashire cricket club ? yes i did and will still go even if i come home in a foul mood .

Depeche mode you keep posting what you feel, You have a right to post what ever you want on this forum! The problem with this site is if you say something that upsets the ever decreasing Coleman bandwagon then they will try to censure your comments fair enough if you upset someone like I did then expect a rollocking and threats but there a too many people on this site who start the most pathetic/childish threads who are they to call you and try to stop them. Coleman lovers better wake up and realise not everbody loves the manager especially someone who has a go at the fans all the time.
And one final thing LOWEIY change the record we all know you are in love with coleman your diatribe that you write in the telegraph makes people want to puke, We have dwindling attendances we are in free fall down the league table its no wonder people want to have a go at the manager you get it at every failing club in the country.
Whilst we did play quite well against Lincoln our strikers looked like they couldn't score in amsterdam never mind on the pitch. FANS wether they have been coming for years or not have a right to voice their opinions and shouldn't be preached to by dilusional fans still living in the past glories of a Manager who at any other club in the country with his track record over the past two seaons would have had a size 9 up his backside and a P45 to boot. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DEPECHE MODE

Very similar thinking, very similar writing style, posted 9 minutes apart in the middle of the day ? Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking ? :):)
 
If you are thinking wow two people with the same views, I am thinking the same as you.

If you look closer the writing and typing style are totally different,
I bet you also think Prince Phillip had a hand in Dianas death !!!.
 
Hmm same people indeed . any 1 who has a view which isnt the same as lindsay isnt worth a post on here . think thats what most of you lot think , thats if you can think all by youself

We were all thinking and posting long before you turned up. You're not saying anything new or posting any ideas that we haven't heard before. I'd suggest reading some previous threads before posting more of the same, then perhaps people would consider your 'opinion' worth reading.

Coleman is under pressure and we all know that. We just don't want to read the same thing over and over and over again.
 
Going back to the thread title, what has happened to Mark Roberts?

I'm afraid that Phil Doughty just does not fit the bill at all. I have seen him in both games now - hesitant to tackle and poor distribution.

I read in the telegraph today ! jimmy bell saying " what we're missing is a big centre half . every team in the league seems to have one and we really need one ."

Another great psychological ploy from the management, I don't think! How on earth are public comments like this supposed to motivate the current squad?
Not always best to tell it like it is.

When I read this comment in't Telegraph , I thought to myself..'I hope that the reporter has got this all wrong'....they sometimes do you know!

But presuming that Jimmy Bell would have had an opportunity to correct this questionable statement....we must conclude that this is his honest opinion!.

If so, this sort of comment, as Redraine rightly says, will not only act as a demotivating influence on the other 'Defenders' in the Squad...but could also undermine what little bit of goodwill remains amongst the Supporters !
It might also sharpen the edges of the daggers waiting to be plunged into the backs of the Management team as a whole !.

So...if either JC or JB feel it necessary to issuesuch statements to the media...then perhaps a little forethought...rather than knee-jerking should be behind them!.

I'm going to take some stick now!!!...by saying that I thought that Lowey's
column in the same edition was as appropriate and near the mark as it has been for some time...there I've said it!

ON STANLEY !....ON!!!!.
