NeonLeon Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I know the number shouldn't even come into the mindset of a player. But part of me is slightly concerned about what will go through the head of someone like Fletcher on Sunday when he walks in the Dressing Room and sees a "Fletcher 6" shirt hung up. Id imagine him and Wildsmith are in for some hammer from the other lads for the next few weeks. Sougou number 8 made me laugh aswell. Unbelievable that one. Wonder if they've given him 8 because it's how many starts he'll get this season? Edited August 3, 2016 by NeonLeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I think there must be a code in there somewhere. its the only explanation. Edited August 3, 2016 by RUMBELOWS91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldGigsChris Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Amazed there's nine players with 1s in their number - I thought DC didn't like stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 49 minutes ago, vulture_squadron said: I suspect it's the same beliefs that guided Chansiri's decision to give Bannan the 41 shirt - saying it would be lucky for him. Bannan did have a great season and that is now unquestionably HIS number. We have been so poo poo for so long that no one has an iconic link to a number except, for me at least, Hirst, Palmer and Waddle. Simek and Walker were my 2 fav players during the decline and I can't remember what they wore. It doesn't matter. I am a traditionalist but I'm coming round to Chansiri's thinking. If a player shines - chances are it will be in a number that previously held no significance - and that player may feel more special in that number and fans may pay to put it on shirts. You could say Ok so why not give them 1-11 numbers if it doesn't matter. But that only makes some players feel first choice and others not - which could effect motivation. I can't believe I wrote this. Numbers obviously mean more than I thought! Lucky numbers in thailand; 3, 8, 9 4 and 13 are considered unlucky. Doesn't make sense if dc is picking numbers based on superstition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 It's about raising the profile of the club. These things get publicity innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Im Right Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Why do, not just us but other clubs as well, use such ridiculously high numbers when they are obviously not necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Found out chansiri was a smoker too the other day. That's probably why ticket prices are so high so he can fund his dirty disgusting habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought that if Mr C was there, and it was busy, and he was doing what you said he was doing, you'd have had to watch your peas and queues that's all.

theowlsman Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 *Newsflash* Owls Talk goes retro. It's like the good old days, when there was bountiful banter, a good sense of humour shown by all, and a comerarderie with no fall outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTacoSWFC Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Ok it's finally decided... Pin stripe shirt, crazy squad number selections. Time to build that bunker in the back garden, isn't it obvious. The apocalypse is coming, it's going to rain fire and Carlos will part the sea!
