The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2005 Not to go on about North End's glorious victory last night, but some of Burley's decisions were pretty questionable... Taking Kenna off and putting Taylor on, moving Konjic to centre forward, not having Tudgay or Holmes on the bench when you had to score goals... even I thought those were somewhat odd choices.

Guest Lawlerm Report post Posted May 20, 2005 I've only posted twice but we've had a decent enough season - aside from having to watch SPL football on a regular basis. Title deciders on Sunday with Celtic at Motherwell and Rangers at Hibs. Celtic holding a 2 point lead but Rangers with a better goal difference leaves both teams looking for the win.

The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2005 So does anyone call it the fucking champtionship, what a faggyfagityfag name, its Division one I'm beginning too, but I think that's mainly because of Football Manager playing rather than being seduced by the new names. I try to call the divisons Division 1, Division 2, Division 3 and Division 4 as a bitter, one man protest against the Prem and the new names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Rasiak and in particular Idiakez should have been on a treatment table for six more weeks. The fact they both played, while showed dedication, may have weakened the side. But yes, Junior was on the bench, and while he's more miss than hit these days.. when he's on fire, he's on fire. I have no excuses for Ian Taylor, he's simp;y not good enough.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2005 As for throwing Konjic up front, i'd say for a big target man. Even David James did that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anorak 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2005 I joined during the god awful 01/02 relegation season. God, we were shite that season. Junior Lewis, Lee Marshall, Ade Akinbiyi, 25 yard Sinclair own goals etc. Only good memory that season was Savage's penalty celebration causing a mini-riot at Derby. So, that's 2 relegations and 1 promotion since i've been at TSM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anorak 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2005 I've never argued that Savage wasn't/still is an annoying idiot but for a few years he was OUR annoying idiot who always gave 100% every game and we loved him for winding the opposition up. Same with characters like Dickov, you love them if they're on your side. Taylor has often thrown a strop against us over the years, remember him losing it towards the end of a league cup semi once when we were beating Villa. He hasn't been on the winning side against us very often, that's for sure. I remember Eric Cantona scoring against Leeds at Elland Road a while after he'd gone to Man Utd and going straight up to the home kop to gloat (in the absolute worst 'standing like a horribly smug French statue' pose). Within spitting distance was a hard looking Leeds nutter being restrained from getting to him by the people sitting round him. He may have caught that scrawny Palace fan napping that time but this guy would have slaughtered him had he got his hands on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) Any thoughts on the CL final tonight? I sort of want Liverpool to win because they're English and I think Benitez is a good manager etc. But my natural hatred of the fucking scouse wankers for getting MY club banned from Europe in 1985 when we were finishing 3rd every year and for stopping MY club from having a chance to win the FA Cup in 1989 because the pissed up cunts spent too long in the pub before going to the ground means I wouldn't really mind Milan thrashing them. EDIT: Heysel and Hillsborough - both Liverpool fans. Coincidence? Bullshit. Edited May 25, 2005 by The Decemberists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liverpool fans get pissed and kill a bunch of innocent Liverpool fans - Forest punished. Innocentally, the fact that a sizeable number of Liverpool fans ran to the Forest end at Hillsborough and started chanting, swearing and giving the old two fingers to them while there fellow fans were dying doesn't get mentioned too often does it? Wankers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
