And Rog, perhaps your mewling may carry more weight if the majority of people on this site didn't think you were a massive twat?

Just a thought

Roger's made some ridiculous, embarrassing posts in the past, I agree, but that wasn't one of them.


[/quote]

Yup.

It's a strange day when he's the voice of reason.

Er...can't we get back to...er...McMahon?? :'(
[/quote]

I agree mate.

Decent appointment it seems.
 
So is this McMahon guy rated quite highly as a coach?

I don't know anything about Shrewbury or even which league they play in.

To be fair Brendan, you've been on his back since day one. Whilst that doesn't excuse what he said, he probably got fed up with having every post he made picked upon by yourself. Up until his spat with you he seemed a decent poster. While we don't want the site to grow into a massive forum, it is nice every now and then to see some fresh faces on here. I for one am finding the constant name calling, cunt this, cunt that, headwand blah blah blah boring as fuck and if I'm honest, it's making the site a bit of a laughing stock.
Now I'm sure in real life, once you remove the internet persona, you're a witty, intelligent and nice fella and when you bother to cut out the jibes are an interesting and really good poster. So I don't see the need to keep up with this tedious barrage of verbal attacks on people. You're turning into a bit of a predictable pantomime villain.
[/quote]

Agree with all of that.

When you come back from your 48 hour ban, maybe you can stop abusing people.

Just a thought.

My first reaction was that it was Ardja back.
[/quote]

I think he's a decent poster who probably got hacked off with every post he made being jumped on by the same old boring insults, but then overstepped the line. I hope he comes back tomorrow.
[/quote]

No-one has jumped on him. He's the one that has come on the site trying to take on all comers and this episode has just served to reveal his true colours.

He could be a decent poster but he's quite obviously cut from the same cloth as Kuntwar / Momo.
[/quote]

Find where I took anyone on other than when you couldn't get your own way and called me a cunt. There's a big difference between posting the odd sarcy remark and jumping in with abuse and personal insults like this Brendan freak.

He's obviously got some anger issues, and probably tortures small animals for fun, but he's not going to bully me without getting it back just because his angst ridden act is part of the furniture on here.

No suprise that he tried to play innocent and turn it on me, the coward. He's probably been getting away with it for so long. Apologies to the mods but i don't see why it should be one rule for him and one for everyone else

You can ban this ID if you like, I just wanted to say my piece. I doubt I'll be back unless it's just to talk about footy and the club without that maniac breathing down my neck.

We've requested it from the software maker, they say they can't guarantee it but they'll endeavour to include it in the next update.
 
Cripes, what a thread.

So is this DavidByrne chap an old poster rehashed?

He seems alright, and I've actually agreed and lol'd at a few of his posts, so tell me he's not Rashid or some other dullard reincarnated?
 
From Tranmere to us. Seems a bit odd. I thought Reina's coach was well in with Rafa. Maybe it's at the Academy.
 
Don't ban Bren, I'd hate to lose the fucker from the site, seriously. To be honest, he's mostly spot on and I've never found being called a cunt by him that bad, his player judgement is spot on.
Most of you cunts (I do hate that word in the real World) deserve it. Luckily for me, I'm nearly always right.
 
Odd Odd thread. Bit OTT though. Both posters had a point at the end of the day.

David Byrne, with his we buy 'Liverpool type' of players, who are modest and not uber cunts like Ronaldo or Quaresma. I think Mark1975 even had a thread a few months back about how we seem to sign 'Nice Guys' the majority of the time but did we also need nasty over confident players to take us to another level. i.e a Ronaldo.

Brendan point was that we have always paid top dollar for players over the course of time and have secured the services of players from clubs all over the world.

How did that lead to both posters getting banned. Oh, 6CM, how I love thee at times.
 
flabbergasted, what a thread

Who would have believed rog would be capable of such a good post. Suggest you keep that up rog!!!

Honourable mention to Sheik's post having hit the spot
 
Achtenberg has been hired as a goalkeeping for the reserves/acadamy. Valero will still be the first teams goalkeeping coach.

From an ESPN column today:

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story/_/id/880677/tough-lessons-for-youngsters?cc=4716

Haven't seen full reserve matches. How true is that? Seeing that its from Dutch perspective, I'll take it with a pinch of salt.

Another one to live the dream was Jordy Brouwer, a Netherlands Under-19 international, who signed for Liverpool in January 2007. After a talk with Rafael Benitez and promises of League Cup games, Brouwer had high hopes for the next four years. He dined with Steven Gerrard, got kicked in the legs by Martin Skrtel and trained under Kenny Dalglish, who loved to put his boots on in his director days and have a practice with the kids who stuck around. And that was it.

Having had occasional training sessions with the squad in his first few seasons and an unsuccessful loan spell at RKC Waalwijk, Brouwer returned at Anfield to find Gary Ablett gone and replaced by the long-ball favouring John McMahon. It was not Brouwer's preferred style. Last summer, Liverpool told him to look for another club as there was no longer a place for him, even in the reserves. After the winter break, he joined ADO Den Haag and played his first few minutes last weekend as a substitute.

The money is good in the Premier League, which Brouwer readily admits, but it can stagnate a talent's career. However, staying in the Netherlands is not necessarily a guarantee to reach the top, as I mentioned in an ESPNsoccernet column some years ago. There are many pitfalls to avoid for a young player, while he and his parents have many decisions to make. Giving all their power over to an agent may not be the best road to travel, but it is understandable when parents are looking for advice. The clubs can be just as ruthless as the agents.
