  • Chopper : I meant my left leg is dead

  • the gaffer : Well done today players, that's the real Smithfield and you were robbrd of a deserved victory because of a ref's decision that was staggering in it's effect on the result
  • Cyrix : My knee is killing me btw Chopper... how are both your thighs? Sorry about that :mrgreen:
  • Cyrix : Well done today everyone... we made a good account of ourselves... even if we were conned by the ref. I think even the management will agree this time!!!
  • Cyrix : I agree mate, I think that's ridiculous
  • Fordy : «link»
  • Fordy : Ford looks at his future at the club - «link»
  • Cyrix : And Fordy's rating corrected for the previous game «link»

  • Tone : suspension quished due to excellent legal team. result of the season so far, great tactics gaffer :D
  • the gaffer : The case of Staffs FA v Bagnall to be televised live on ESPN
  • the gaffer : Bagnall assailant throws punches again despite suspension
  • the gaffer : Grange Park v Signalman abandoned after mass brawl
  • the gaffer : Park Inn fold so Prem teams go around again
  • Fordy : Prediction - Game will be off tomorrow!!! Walked the dogs this morning at 11 and Birchenwood was frozen solid. It's colder tonight as well!
  • Fordy : I've got no problem showing the same commitment, just won't come training for a few weeks!
  • the gaffer : Guys
  • the gaffer : you'll never be Mask < but take his workrate and commitment on Sunday as a benchmark and you may get close
  • Fordy : if I was mask, I'd be insulted!
  • Fordy : ...but dont forget "player", the ratings are linked to the persons ability, so does that mean that Mask played 8/10 of his ability?
  • Fordy : If we recall, how many times has this been said in the past, "its not the defence, its the whole team", this season, anything negative is the midfields fault...
  • Fordy : More importantly, can we not use the word guys in the shoutbox, its power gay!
  • Cyrix : Guys, can I just point out that major discussions should happen on the thread in the forum, as the shoutbox posts get deleted after a certain amount of time!
  • Tone : the ratings dont really give a performance rating more of a pointing of the finger. maybe its the management that need to be more vocal instead of just passing the book.
  • Tone : "Over run in the middle" yes this may well have happened once again and it was given to the sidelines attention on more than one occasion by myself and other team members during the game and at half time but took until about the 75min befor anything changed.
  • Tone : "Should be more vocal to prevent players being seemingly unmarked and less critical when the inevitable happens because they are". on each of sundays set pieces, as in every game, all of the opposition players were marked by not just me but other team members being "vocal" so how does this become a reason to point the blame at myself when the players lose their man and consequently score???
  • Fordy : ... You did however make a couple of mistakes, pushed one of the goals into your own net where I think you could have done better. Plus kicking was worst its been for a while, some kicks bounced just over the defence and got intercepted.
  • Fordy : Ian in regards to your performance. You did 2 double saves that were excellent. Cant fault those....
  • Fordy : should have bought Mask into midfield but anyone can come out with tactics in heinsight
  • Fordy : that lead to wingers being forced to mark full backs and offer no support to midfield or defence
  • Fordy : Theforwards did us no favours on Sunday, they are supposed to split the centre half and full back to stop them getting forward but just stood marking 1 person
  • Fordy : Tried but everyone was apparently marking. Not true but...
  • Fordy : p
  • the gaffer : Fordy maybe cus you'd lost your voice, it would have been easier to talk to the players around you regarding the 3 in middle overrunning us situation
