why have the fans gone off Paul Reid??

the main reason for me is, when the pressures on, he slips into Chris Morgans old booits, treats the ball like a ticking time bomb and launches everything 60 yards. !0 seconds later its coming straight back at us.</p>

A calm head is needed Paul to take the sting out of the oppositions forward momentum.</p>

 

Gone off?

Our best players:

1) Colgan
2) Hassle
3) Kay
4) Togwell

34) Nathan Jarman
35) Simon Davey
36) Rimmer Normanton
37) Gord Shepherder
38) The Tea Lady
39) Trelford Mills
40) The dwarf who serves mucky food in the East Stand Lower
41) Paul Reid

He's slow, poor in the air, doesn't inspire the team like a captain should ... and while he talks an excellent game - he rarely does the business on the pitch.

"We don't need a big centre half".
Oh aye.
Here's a bus ticket to Northampton.

 

Trelford Mills , there's a blast from the past

Not that I can remember him . Oh no , far too young . Far , far too young .

 

He's my favourite person on the planet.

I'd love my gay parents to have been Oldtimer28 & Trelford.
I like how Trellers has a few beers, his face goes a funny purple colour & then he starts swearing ... possibly the funniest thing ever.
He's quite wary of me ... he thinks I'm not all there.

Aaaahhhhh.

 

You obviously move in

In classier , more upmarket , circles than me . I've never met the guy .

 

I once played cricket against Trelford Mills when he played for Co-op

I hit the ball into the longer grass (old training pitch which they used to let grow in the summer) and we ran. Coming back for the third and the throw comes in from the boundary. Trelford bends down, with his back to the ball, to let in go over his head. Not that great a throw! Smacked him right on the back of the head and he was carried off the field semi-conscious. Shouldn't have laughed really but... ah well.

 

Imagine Father Christmas living rough ...

... and you've got Trellers.

Been to a few dinners he's arranged.
He sits and laughs like a deranged Mongoose at the worst comedians ever to have lived.

I'd love to de-bag him on stage in front of Dickie Bird, a scouse comedian, Norman Hunter & a random FA representative.

 

I miss you when you don't post .

I have to admit to a certain level of disappointment with your incise football observations , as I've found myself agreeing with the vast majority of them ! You still don't rate Nardiello , do you ?
I'm going off to work in about an hour , so could you oblige Crystal please ?
Cheers buddy .

 

Oblige Crystal?

Not again.
My pubic hair hasn't fully grown back after the "veet incident" last time.

I like Nardy, honestly.
I just think he's always been one of those infuriating enigma type players who flatters to decieve.
I also think he'll never get fit.

To be honest - I know as much about football as Jay.
So, basically, I can sometimes find my way to the ground ... and I know that we usually play in red.
That's about it.

Have a good shift at Pulse & Cocktails.

 

Believe it or not

I had no idea what Pulse & Cocktails was . Crystal enlightened me !

 

"Crystal enlightened me"

I bet she did, mate.
I bet she did.

If I ever discontinue my membership in their DVD club - they'll fold overnight.

I'd love to take Trellers into Pulse & Cocktails.
He'd be rubbing his beard like mad.
Then I'd buy him a canary yellow PVC catsuit.

 

Kev's led a very sheltered life

Don't be too harsh on him .ff

 

I played for the CO-OP cricket team.. circa 1993...

An old couple who lived near Grove Street ran the Bar...

 

RE: Kev's led a very sheltered life

He looks like he's lived in a shelter.
He he.

I feel dead sorry for the poor lad.
I can just imagine him wandering into the swingers party, wearing his gimp mask, with you holding his lead.

Car keys in the bowl a-go-go.

Pfff.

 

This would have been about 86 I reckon. There used to be

a shed/bar? just behind away end I think, was it green? Just remember how long the grass was when you hit it onto the part of the pitch where the the footie training pitch was, could lose a ball in there!

 

Throwing keys into a bowl ? I tried that once before

How do you think I ended up with Kev ?

 

RE: Throwing keys into a bowl ? I tried that once before

I thought you might have met at Le Chambre.
Pfff.

I'm so unlucky that if I went to a swingers party I'd end up being paired with Young Nudger, or summat.
I'd be TARN through & through.
Kinell.

 

The council wanted to put a road through it from Cundy Cross..

to the top of Harborough Hill... All the Oakwell residents got a petition up and it was stopped, by that time the whole ground was run down and a mess.

That's when BFC stepped in and built the training pitches around the same time they built the North Stand... My understanding was that the European/regeneration money that was allocated to the proposed road was spent on the new training facilities...

Shame about the COOP pitches, played footy and cricket down there for a couple of years, once played football one Saturday afternoon and drove out of the ground just as the away fans were coming out of Oakwell, nearly turned my van over !!!

 

"treats the ball like a ticking time bomb and launches everything 60 yards"

If only he would!

He's a great player when he makes challenges and gets the ball clear. If there isn't a simple pass available, that's not his fault / problem.

When he hangs onto the ball, he is prone to being dispossessed. Same applies to Bobby Hassell - he got caught out yesterday truying to do exactly what you describe.

How long should a defender hang onto the ball before hacking it clear?

 

Reid creates the panic at the back! people forget he wasn't signed as a centre half

Reid like Kay was moved to the back as cover and has stayed their....

he played much better in the middle of the park and even scored a few I remember. But he doesn't convince me as a centre half, would much prefer to see Hassel and Kay
