Re: Virtual Lowfields Road - on your mobile device!

The game was often secondary, Norm, but it was a blast in that anarchic crazy house.

A lot of the fun was in trying to keep up with multiple simultaneous conversations.

Often answers appeared out of context with predictably hilarious results.

A competition-free poll-free feast of fun.

Re: What do we need for next season? Signings etc.

But lets be honest, he is exactly what we're missing and every team in the league will want him. I hate to say as I dislike him immensely, but I'd even take Joey Barton, as he would improve us massively. Heck I hated Diouf and didn't want him here, but warmed to him after a while. He's not going to...

Like Ronan he is fat and slow.

Unlike Ronan he is a dirty ex-Rangers barsteward.

No thanks.

A player we should have signed having watched him light up the League of Ireland. One of several more than decent Irish players ignored.

Re: Virtual Lowfields Road - on your mobile device!

VLR in it's day was absolutely brilliant.....live commentary on in the background and at it's peak had about 50 people on board during matches....it was a joy !!! I think live TV coverage of Leeds kind of killed it....but we used to have some great craic there...I look back on it fondly. :tup: It w...

Re: Negativity

You start a new job and aren't given good enough tools you won't do a v good job Same with Heckinbottom Numerous examples of a manager coming into a club performing badly and turning it around with the same players. And turning individual players into world-beaters! The players probably are not res...

Re: Negativity

Why is it considered negative to judge a manager on results? My whole working life in sales was based on results. I lived/died by them. Same with what I'm doing now in 'retirement'. If I don't produce, then, I'm not successful. Doesn't matter what else heckingarse is doing as results suggest he is ...

Re: Mick McCarthy

Did really well at the 2002 World Cup and probably would have done even better had Keane not spat the dummy.

Plus he is a mick.

And we could do with a few more of those about the place.

His personality not to everybody's taste, but it works for me.

Non c'é bisogno di VAR la scorsa notte. Era una penalità ovvia.
