Walton in multiple threads about total bollox shocker

Yet you feel his thread is worthy of a comment?

Apart from the odd bandwaggon jumper moaning about how many threads he starts most of his threads open discussion which is what a forum is about. If folk don't agree with what he says then debate with him, if the amount of threads he starts offends people, don't look at them and scroll past.

This thread and his Duffy thread contain multiple pages of discussion, I don't understand what folk moan about, he's talking football, he isn't stamping his views and name calling those who don't agree with him. He certainly shouldn't be banned for it, there are many users who go unmoderated on here that should have been booted years ago.

It’s probably the fact he calls the players sh!t Mark. It’s a tad disrespectful. Just a guess.

No worse than what I hear in the stands and I am sure you and many others hear the same. Should they all be banned from going to games or do you just ignore them?

If CPS was making these threads you’d be raging 😉

No I wouldn't, he's on ignore, but I liked the way you swerved away from the point

It's a sign of the times though, people get offended over the most stupid thing. I once heard an interview with Mandeville who described is own performance on the day as "sh1t" then apologised for swearing on air. Fans have been calling players, managers and owners sh1t since the game started back in the day. Thicker skin required, I'm sure the players don't care or even read this.

I'm no psychologist (I had to rely on predictive text to spell it) but he and others start threads and post just to antagonise folk generally at a low point (ie following a poor performance) it's a strange concept perhaps there's a medical term for it, possibly "Childish Posting Syndrome "

There's nowt stranger than folk

I’d check your spellcheck then…. Or did I completely get my hair parted? 😂. That’s a new word on me!

Good spot and quick, now corrected. That bludy H again always in the wrong place.

I think it fair to say,though several have said on here they were physical, that very few challenges were actually clean, physical, many were just cynical and dirty/dangerous.Yes, they did have a couple of good players, but once again cynicism and shithousery overshadowed their performance.

Which is something we need to introduce into our game.

An example was Rowe, their number 11.

I’m not sure if anyone noticed but a minute or so before he committed two poor tackles in the first half in quick succession he had already swung out at Metcalfe after the ball had gone.

I said to the bloke next to me that Metcalfe needed to level things up a bit with him. Not swing out but leave a bit on him, as the saying goes.

So an off-the-ball incident and two poor challenges and no one in a blue shirt smashed him.

Certainly not in the coaching manual but I feel we are very often a bullied side.

The player most likely to dish some out has, in my opinion, been missed so much and that's Mike Jones.

I've said before, much to the displeasure of some on here, that for all that we want the housery of the game to go away its not happening and those in charge are not looking like doing anything so we may as well do it as well. We dont do enough at times to get in the refs ear about things. Its happened a bit more with Fleck playing and to and extent when McFadzean is playing but others dont do it. As an example when their keeper was taking an age over things on Tuesday with the ref apparently happy with what he was doing only Grigg on a couple of occasions actually said something to the ref about hurrying him up. Others should have been in his ear about it as well. There was a tackle second half where one of theirs got booked, think it was Gale, and it wasnt a great tackle and had it been the other way round i suspect a couple of the opposition would have made a deal about it but we didnt really do that.

Very true post. I don't like the time wasting or leaving the foot in on players, and it's cost us dear this season. Both MacFazdean and Fleck can mix it with the best, and you can add Banks to the list. I would be in the ref's ear all the way, because some of what we see isn't right, and sometimes you have to reluctantly join them.

😂😂. I thought it was right first time after rereading! A phycologist studies algae, plankton and single cells…. I thought it was a comment on Walton. Quite apt.

Yep I agree. Too “nice”.

I thought that was in retaliation to Metcalfe clattering him in the first 5 minutes of the game?

A strong challenge, that took the ball but followed through on the man, too.

Not good enough unfortunately,for what we're try to achieve,and he needs to know his left foot from his right,paint a goal line on some grass and tell him you have to put the ball over it,there has to be more wingers better alot to learn ,back to bees and his hive .

Hmmm. Banks tried that and got banned. Don't know the stats in terms of how it affected results but I'm left with a very uneasy feeling that it did.

Do we know what he actually did?
