Does that make me a bollocks poster?
Yes, Traore has excellent pace, but that doesn't make him a footballer.
You profess to know more about the game than the rest of us DT, but you really don't.
No answer came the stern reply.

Ok give me some positives then?
Can you?
Traore went off at 75 not because he was poor because he did his job to stop a very clever player who is I believe a England player ?
Isla came on to try and win it as he is a far better attacker imo than a defender
What this is Traore isn't liked but he has one thing no one has mentioned in his game excellent pace to cancel out Clyne vision and positioning
He did that well for 75 min
And bollocks posters want him never to play again
That is rubbish
I think I did quite well off the ball.

I don't think you are a bollock poster
I post what I believe
I take the Pepsi challenge as and when re football and our club
I was fortunate to experience a good level of football in three countries as a player which drives me to comment when I read stuff I don't agree with
It's that simple take it or leave it no problem and no offencee meant
Thanks for responding directly to me, DT. I was perplexed by your earlier reply which seemed to be addressing other people. I have played the game too, but perhaps not to the same level as yourself. I respect your views, but often struggle to agree with them. I consider myself in my Sunday league days to have been a better player than Traore. Opinions eh?
Gerry Ryan was in my Sunday league and again was 50 I reckon and again no one could get near him

Mate I can guarantee you that you and I wouldn't last a minute against Traore in any match ... We are all legends in our lunch boxes but that is it ... Different times and I know first hand what sacrifices are required to at today ... Watching my mate now on tele v Forest ... I know what he has had to do to make it and it's mind blowing dedication and luck!
Unless you give up normal life you rarely make it.
I consider myself rubbish when I look back but I did get to see some very different styles
Gerry Ryan? I didn't even know the fat git played football![]()
He was outstanding Swords played for the Witch Inn I played Saturday's and then Sunday's back then he would turn out having run his pub all week and was leagues ahead at 50 plus. I played also with Ronnie Kier from Dundee who died on the pitch in our team ( heart attack)
cheers daveGlad to see you have really liked this thread kiwi!
The morning after, it still feels crap, but have to remember, we were essentially robbed in what was a pretty poor performance. We surely have to get better...keep the faith!
