QuoteYou're bringing in new information now. You're mate's friend might just be a bit thick. The picture he's putting forward requires so many assumptions that you'd need to be very crazy or gullible to accept them.
Well I'm going to hit the hay.
My presence on the site will be greatly diminished over the next week or so because I need to study Microsoft excel and complete this Business Law assignment.
Behave and try not to miss me too much when I'm gone.

I was tempted to paraphrase Lloyd Bensen at that point.Originally Posted by CraftyToePoke
Not a link I'd have made myself, if I'm honest
You still including Trap here?
I don't believe that story, but some of his decisions tactically and around players were baffling particularly during games - so it might not be that far fetched!
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
I haven't a clue about you personally, your posts are what define you here, I'll make as many comments in reply to your posts as I see fit and appropriate
and seeing a lot of yourself in Eirebhoy's posts takes the delusional biscuit.
back to the original thread title: isn't being in Coventry by definition to be ignored?
Some of his baffling decisions paid off too. The fact is he was working with a squad of players who, by and large, he didn't really rate so he tended to have his favourites based on graft rather than ability, and that was reflected in his selections.
I reminded my mate about the story and had a good laugh about it. He's insistent it's true. Personally, I believe him.
Another funny story is that Trapattoni used to call unnamed player "Stefano" even though that wasn't remotely close to his Christian name. Apparently he used to call all the new(ish) players "Stefano" or "Steve" (Stephen)" regardless of their real names because he gave up on trying to remember them, and possibly because of the proliferation of players called Stephen.
He said he actually liked Trapattoni but some of the players morale totally sank when he was in charge including, understandably, Shane Long.
And geysir, I understand it's your right but it's just constant negativity. I know what you think of my posts. It's just another opinion. Don't let it get to you!
I also see a lot of myself in Stutts. I think we disagree on a few big things but generally we agree on everything else.
Don't laugh.
How much of yourself do you see in Stutts?
My Lloyd Bensen remark earlier probably went over peoples's heads. He was Dukakis'(?) running mate who famously put down Dan Quayle in the VP debate live in TV in the late 80s. Quayle was comparing his career to date with JFK's early career, in context of defending his lack of hard experience. Bensen caustically replied with something like "I worked with Jack Kennedy. I was a friend of Jack Kennedy. I served under Jack Kennedy. Senator Quayle, you're no Jack Kennedy". It was a stunning blow.
I spent years yapping about football here and on soccercentral.ie with eirebhoy. TOWK, you're no eirebhoy.
We do actually agree on many things but unlike you I respond to direct questions even if it means I have to acknowledge a competing opinion trumps my own. I don't ignore questions that require me to admit I'm wrong, and I regularly am wrong.
Also, I make my arguments honestly and systematically. I don't twist ambiguous quotes to suit stupid agendas. I don't even have any agendas. You consistently lace your arguments with sophism and speculation and refuse to desist when you get called on it. Our approach to debate could not be more different.
I'll acknowledge that you do seem to know your stuff and I appreciate the links you post to stories we may not have seen otherwise, but the only similarity between us that I can identify is an inability to use one sentence when ten can be used instead.

Easy there now Mother Superior, I knew exactly what and who you were on about.
I didn't think you were old enough!
More than Stutts is comfortable with, evidently.
Careful, you'll be next.
More than stutts sees ; )
Ye probably won't get that....
Coleman is class!
Stutts I know you personally and while you mightn't see much of him in you you still enjoy it...you definitely are quite similar his opinions are pretty spot on and well orchestrated but he goes ott sometimes to take away from his points.
He is nothing like EB tho only in that he writes a lot in one post. Eb did the same but his opinions were always very different to mine and I'd agree with towk and you generally.

I actually thought Stutts had created a second account to back his own opinions up...
Why can't I thank on mobile? Stu there's a thanks there in spirit....you must feel so special.
Towk is young though perhaps its stutts son being coerced/coax/coached/cajoled/ how many more words beginning with c can I add without actually finding the word I'm looking for.DI would have it for me by now.
Nah, that's what he created the doc for
So this is how Dave Kelly must have felt after "scoring" against England...
c*ntish?
PS - Paul, did you mean groomed?

It's "Bentsen" and they lost every state other than Mass I believe. Which seems incredible now.
