I think my days of starting a thread on this forum is if not coming to an end is "hanging by a thread". I actually was genuinely trying to get a discussion going, about getting our keeper to throw the ball out more often much like that great Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina, but I guess to no avail. Here comes a couple of spaces to make this easier to read. So I will go back to trolling, reading all the postings from the members of the "Clique's". Another space. And like many of the other trollers on this board hope that any new thread is really interesting. Come On City Up the Tigers!
Schmeichel was something else with his throws. Remember when he first came over, I'd never seen anyone throwing it clean over the halfway line. He certainly set up plenty of counter attacks for that Man United team. It certainly wouldn't hurt us to see more of it and less hoofs to Elmo's head.
Allow me to extend the life of this thread. I've never seen Al Mac so animated as he was last night, he was going radio rental over anything and everything. Made me chuckle it did. On at least three occasions.
I think the thread started out highlighting the gaylord fruity herbalists (of which I certainly was, & still are, in the not camp) but progressed, in a positive manner, meaning inexperienced shy boys received some good advice in the art of pulling. A public information thread for those who were going without.
I was going to join in taking the piss...until I remembered that I completely agree with you. Goalkeepers should never hoof the ball out, it's stupid and often hands the opposition the ball. AMc was superb last night, and as said his demeanour was too I haven't got time to list my pulling tips though, that'll have to wait
He should teach some of our outfield players how to throw the ****ing ball too. Drives me mad how we get a throw in, and the enemy end up with the ****ing ball.
With posts like this maybe I should have delayed taking my 10mg of valium. Or maybe its just the Christmas spirit coming out from a well meaning forum member-good cheer to your fellow man even thought they start idiotic threads and are not part of the allowed thread starting clique (lol).
Grooming? I go straight in for the kill. "It's Winter Spice flavour sweetie, looks like rohypnol, I know, but it's not, honest. Now get it down ya."
One of the funniest things ever seen on TV was when TWS's great Gary Sprake ('Sprake the Shake') once attempted to throw out a very muddy ball on a very muddy pitch. The ball stuck to his hand, his foot slipped, and he threw the ball straight into his own net. Any other old farts remember that?
If you would like to join the clique (but the better posters usually do not), you need to learn to use some form of obscenity as every-other word throughout each post. That'll get you a lot of 'likes' from the clique, too. And always remember: Nil carborundum illegitimi.
He had many a "balls-up"...but there were far more times when he saved that great team's bacon. I used to have a clip of Sprake's original gaffe - but can't find it, but it was almost identical to this one: Happened just 7 miles up the road from Elland Rd too. I did find this typically humorous bit of Scouse wit however: "The first of Sprake's two notorious errors came in 1967 when Leeds played Liverpool in a League game at Anfield. Sprake was holding the ball and was set to throw it to the Leeds left back Terry Cooper, only to curtail his throw when he spotted Liverpool winger Ian Callaghan running towards the area he planned to throw the ball. Unfortunately for Sprake, the ball slipped out of his hands behind him and ended up in the net.[4][5] At half-time, the Liverpool tannoy-announcer played "Careless Hands", a record by Des O'Connor, apparently in reference to Sprake's mistake, and during the second half Liverpool supporters on the Kopsang the song repeatedly to Sprake. During his time at Leeds, fans of rival clubs gave Sprake the nickname "Careless Hands" as a result.[6][7]"
Had to look up your mock latin aphorism as my 4 years of schoolboy latin which was rulered into me (literally on the back of my hand) did not extend to a proper understanding of "nil carborundum illegitimi". In fact the only word in the phrase that I understood was "Nil" which I hope is the number of goals that Rotheram get on Saturday! Spoiler alert, space coming up! Re the cliques and obscenities, definitely qualify with the latter, but, based on current performance and adjudged performance I have a long way to go before I could be considered a mediocre poster let alone one of the better ones. Still everyone can aspire to greatness-"In every 606 foot soldiers keyboard therein lays a springboard to 606 Hull City erudition". I am going to troll and learn from the masters!
Are they Jak's goalkeeping coaches? I thought he was going to have a heart attack at one point or his head was going to explode! The one that stands out for me was when he threw it out to Bullard & we went on to score & win 3-2 v Sheff Utd! Also against Reading when he saved that penalty, finished 1-1 but he was good with his throwing, I think it might be a European thing?
We started the game hoofing it down to see how their centre backs (particularly McShane who seemed to be targeted) did. Second half we showed a more patient build up.
