This is the philosophy, apparently..

West Stand Bogs found it, I thought it was one of their piss takes. Apparently not.

If that is serious then somebody needs to have a word with themselves. Talk about overcomplicating a bloody simple game.

Jennings 99kg?

 

bit worried about the load review, bet houraine is well up on that graph, with their lass being miss great britain

 

That is ******* mint. Opening bit just screams wind-up ('effective distribution from the back'??? 'strikers' (plural??)?) but I'm more than a little concerned it appears to be genuine. A definitive document of how to take a really, really simple game and screw it up beyond all recognition.

 

'Hockey stick'????

'Individual brilliance zone'??

'Bomb alley'??

Christ on a ******* bike.....

ffs

 

I'm liking the individual brilliance zone. Otherwise know as the 'if anyone ******* dares go closer to the goal than this I'll replace you all with loanees' zone

 

no wonder we aint winning, never read such nonsense

 

Last page - 'Any Questions?'

Yes.

What. The. ****.

 

were is the get abused by the east stand lower for being Tom Kennedy in disguise zone

 

Here's my PDF, Lee. Please distribute to players. You can have it for nowt.

Point 1 - you four defend
Point 2 - you four in the middle
Point 3 - you two lads up front

Point 4 - this is a football ⚽️
Point 5 - the target is that way ➡️

Point 6 - pass or move, either will do
Point 7 - there is no Point 7

 

I think that's 'bomb alley'. It's where players run down the wing then attempt a bloody awful cross and totally bomb out

 

Do you distribute another one for the second half with the arrow pointing the other way?

 

I wonder what a certain MR Brian Clough would make of that...

Feckin nonsense

 

So looking at it, it's a case study based 2014 research (well according To references)...

 

Is that a real set up ?

 

Ah, so they replaced the "spreadsheet" with a PDF.

 

Knackers. Knew I'd forgotten summat. They can turn the paper round.

 

this is my philosophy to a defender

its kinda Charlie Cook / Norman Hunter/ Nobby Styles ... based ... and it goes like this

"LET THE BASTAD KNOW YOU ARE ON THE PITCH" in other words... t w a t him good early doors

the really great forwards who can cope like... Stan Bowles, George Best, Pele, Marradonna etc etc came to the fore .. They all were hacked/hit/chopped etc ... but could deal with the hit men however our new age of forwards are too well protected... lets go back to the old days of "NORMAN HUNTER BITES YER LEGS".... "CHOPPER HARRIS" etc etc..... in other words


PROPER FOOTBALL.... men vs men.... and not prima donna vs prima donna

 

Needs to be delivered with "power point" presentation!!

 

It's 100% genuine.

At least I know where I'm sitting next week. In the corridor of confusion.



I can't for the life of me read all of that, and come away positive and trusting of those in charge at Oakwell.




It's David Brent. It's Monty Python. It's batshit mental. It's absolutely brilliant.
