[Albion] Rumours of Unrest - received wisdom, or a reality?

[dazzer6666]

Fair enough. However, the next pedant who wants to pick up someone on the spelling of our ex Celtic midfielder will get a kicking!

Oh Really ?

 

[chaileyjem]

The biggest concern for me is not the tactical mistakes which i hope he learns from.(IE Chelsea away high line and then the Newcastle game ) but the amount of cards he picks up for dissent. . As an example of showing discipline to the team he falls down badly .

I agree but RDZ used to get praised for this as it was an example of his "passion". Hurzeler doesn't seem to get any "credit" for the bookings and sending offs. In fact he gets stick for bizarrely being too restrained and calm. I think on Saturday he was stunned into his seat. where he remained slumped. Bit like me on my sofa watching at home.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for them to get a shooing?

He looks to be doing it purely for effect. It's completely out of character with his general demeanour. He always looks inordinately pleased with himself when the card gets brandished. Maybe he's confusing getting a card with genuine passion?

Learned AI behaviour.

The reality is that if an independent football regulator was in place, the loss at the weekend wouldn't have happened.

That is an inconvenient truth that the clubs senior management simply fail to acknowledge.

He got booked for kicking off at the fourth official when Welbs was shoved in the back by Milenkovic. Looked a pen all day long and certainly as much a penalty as the one given against Lamptey. TBF we were all slumped in our seats at the end of that showing so I'll not hold that against him.

You sit down away ?

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

These days, if you dare criticize the club, you get thrown into jail.
If so-called supporters had accepted everything Archer had promised, like all the toadying to the pathetic Bloom,
Reinelt would never of scored.

(etc. etc.)

I don’t always spot a whoosh H - I know you know it’s would never have

Very little "news" from the club on social media since the weekend, saying that they have put extended HIGHLIGHTS of the Forest game on the website.

Isn't Albion Unlocked due out today? Assume they'll focus on the new signings rather than the match. Interestingly Forest are all out in Dubai doing a warm weather week.

There was an exceptionally tall man in the row in front of me whose head covered about a third of the pitch from goal line to half way line. At the beginning I was quietly cursing my positioning and the dance I was having to do to see any action in tbe box - but by the end I was grateful. It did make me wonder though whether it would have been rude to ask him to sit. I'm 6ft2 - he must have been 6ft6, maybe taller as he was a row down from me and still obscuring so much!

Their FA Cup 4th round tie v Exeter isn't until next Tuesday .

 

[mothy]

Indeed. And still no news about the monorail!

I have heard its in the pipeline

 

[Insel affe]

I have heard its in the pipeline

Surely that's not a monorail then, more of an underground tube system than eh.....

Oh come on. Even if you're not his #1 fan i think you'd concede its really not performative and genuine. He loses his temper with officials. -regularly Whether thats a good thing or not but he's well known for it and struggled with it at St Pauli as well.

 

[Seagull58]

Can we just agree on something in this thread:

It's toeing the line; not towing the line.

Inversely, if you're referring to someone that's a bit of a git, they would be a tow rag.

Both have military derivations.

Carry on.

Unless you're in a fishing boat, of course.

Why not just spell it "O'Riley" and the problem disappears? It's not too difficult, is it? It's not as if we signed Jakub Blaszczykowski or
Wojciech Tomasz Szczęsny
