Ha, this bloke is crazy.

Yo sledger thought you realised but i can't see your post since you are on my ignore list son. So you could save yourself some time and not respond to what i post. Just a suggestion though dawg...

its time like this, when i wonder if all white gangstas from manchester are quite this stupid.

seriously though, being on your ignore list wont stop your opinions from being wrong.

 

[sledger]

Not watching much football this year, then?

4 appearances = play for england?

 

[Dark Hunter]

Concurred, was shouting at the TV last night when Sounness was babbling on about "but he didn't have a knife". Thats not the point ffs, he quite easily could have done and the fact that he got onto the pitch so easily is very worrying.

I think it was just an unlucky set of circumstances. Watching it again last night, half the Celtic side was practically in the crowd celebrating after the goal, so almost all the police attention was focussed on that point. So the guy slipped through unoticed. They should be fined...but not heavily, nor should they lose points or anything, it was just an unlucky occurence that will probably never happen again.

So that means he's short of form?

 

[sledger]

4 games will not make you match fit, certainly not at an international level, that said...there arent any better alternatives, so he's bound to be selected.

 

[Pup Clarke]

But you posted that he's wasn't on form, were not talking about the number of games he's played.

 

[sledger]

no player returning from a serious long term injury will be on great form after their first 4 games back.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Ashton's doing pretty well at the moment.

 

[sledger]

so's james beattie, lets have him back as well.

 

[Pup Clarke]

He's playing in the Championship...

 

[sledger]

so was david nugent when he was called up.

 

[Pup Clarke]

James Beattie > David Nugent

 

[Loony BoB]

Gotta go with Pup on this one. Strikers are measured on goals, and 3 goals in 6 games not only says "on form" but, as far as I'm concerned, 6 games in you should be considered match-fit, or else you shouldn't be playing in the first place.

using that argument it would be logical for darren bent to have started up front for england for pretty much 2 years on the trot.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Well, yeah he probably should of, while Owen was out injured.

 

[sledger]

all that goes to show is how little strength in depth england have up front.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Well...Johnson and Defoe are decent strikers in my book, not many after that tbh.

 

[sledger]

decent = go out in the quarter finals, which is what will happen next summer.

 

[Pup Clarke]

I wasn't refering to the team.

 

[sledger]

irrespective, england as a team = decent/underperforming/mediocre

another summer of dissapointment approaches
