What has the article got to do with Rugby? Did the darts or the cricket bats cause damage to the stadium in any way that the club then has to cover, because said fans are too childish and surge to goad away fans?

If only football fans had the option to stand at games then they'd be no chance of seats getting damaged and the club losing money !
 
Yes, but not because of any issue with the pitch, the odd game has been postponed due to the areas around the stadium being considered too dangerous (snow/ice etc).

To be fair, if someone went arse over tit going down those steps near the end of the pathway from Argyle Street due to ice, especially an elderly person, it could seriously injure or kill them.

We saw the old guy a few years back who slipped on the ice on the walkway to the MKM, still remember the thud of his head hitting the ground. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

Anybody who was at the night game at MK Dons a few years ago would have been grateful for a postponement ...

I was there. Parked in the car park & then there was a blizzard & couldn’t get out of the car!!! 1-1 Delroy Facey scored for The Tigers
 
'Alfie Jones said to us the team needs to be more ruthless, is that fair?'

Just in case you don't get it, what he means is stop xxxxing about near your own penalty area so much and get the ball forward qiucker to two class England U21 players who can cause mayhem.

Despite the manager's stubbornness I honestly believe we'll see a more attacking team in the weeks ahead with the gentle encouragement he's getting from others.

A 2-1 win after a tippy tappy first half.

He very obviously isn't saying anything of the sort.

It really is bonkers how far people are taking this narrative, now to the extent of pretending to believe that the players are hinting at it too. The players and club seem to be all on the same page. It's only amongst the fans that our passing is seen as such a desperate problem.

I listen to the full interview with Alfie, and he only said we need to be more ruthless and move the ball quicker at times. What some fans seem to fail to notice, is that the few goals we have scored by putting a ball over the top is done by design.

The ball is passed between the back 4 encouraging the opposition to push forward and press. The defensive back 4 moves up making a high back line, that triggers the ball over the top, which has worked on a number of occasions. It's a plan, not a random boot up the field.

Finallly. Sense.
 
I'm looking forward to the game, could be a game of chess, but will be interesting to see who comes out on top. Delap and Philogene seem to be building a good understanding, so I guess they will start. Even though he was late back, I would play Seri alongside Morton, Tufan is likely to be on the bench I would guess, and the other conundrum is the LB, Vinagre, Greaves, Coyle or Furlong?

I think most fans can see this. There’s just a minority who can’t.

The problem with it in my opinion (and many others) is the risk vs reward. We have scored a few goals from it. But we have also given the ball away in dangerous areas. It also wastes a lot of time - which is precious in football when you are at home (going for the win) or 0-1 down.

I think the tactic is good for games when we are 2-0 up or away from home against a top side though.

So all in all, I guess it’s about when we choose to use it that’s the issue. Hopefully that solves any bickering - but it probably won’t! :emoticon-0136-giggl
 
Doesn't exactly tie in with him saying 'we need to shut the crowd out if they get frustrated and not change the way we play' does it?

Or didn't you hear the full interview and just interpret that excerpt as what you want him to be saying?

We went. I had a Passat at the time and the rear window would not stay closed. My son who was quite young at the time must have been bloody freezing in the back. **** night, **** game, **** weather and Delroy looked a mile offside but hey, who's complaining.
