Lord Snooty Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Just now, @owlstalk said: He was Another correlation is both players were promoted in their respective sides. Love em or hate em - these kind of players fire teams to promotion and leave fans of other clubs crying, whinging and complaining whilst stuck in the same division. These kinds of players. What? Gobshites? No Neil, I think the reason they fire teams to promotion is because they're actually very good footballers. Not because they wind fans up. That doesn't win points. Just as many excellent footballer who aren't gobshites also win teams promotion. Nevertheless carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it might not be trolling. Friend of mine had a terrible time once. Wife left him. Took half of everything he had.

Because of his age he had trouble finding work despite vast experience in his field. Ended up in a "studio flat" - (bedsit) and spending most of his time on the bottle. Then he found God. Everything was super positive. Jesus this. Jesus that. Every minute of the day it was praise the Lord. I thought he was having me on. Trolling on Modern parlance. But he wasn't. He had turned into a 100% happy clapper. A proper happy clapper not the thinly veiled football forum insult. Halleujah! and all that business. Annoying as hell. Folks stopped inviting him to the club in the end as the rest of the boys were making excuses not to come when he was there. They all thought it was an act. But I twigged it wasn't. He's happier now. Over the wife and kids thing. Working in volunteering. Got another woman on the go. Another enthusiastic Church goer. Yes he's happy. Euphorically so most of the time. Which always concerns me about folks. No space for negativity at all lends me to think there's an explosion down the the line.

oldishowl Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Not surprised the usual suspects are supporting Snodgrass . It all depends what kind of human being and player you like and respect . I find it very difficult to respect a person who is dishonest, a cheat and a conman, they obviously have no problem with that. Says it all really. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'd rather have a player who plays hard, but fair. Perhaps Nando dives a bit too much (which is why he doesn't get the fouls he often should), but Snodgrass (a very good player) dives around like nobodies business. Perhaps a better ref would have actually dealt with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad losers think he should just take it and keep quiet. He's a player who gets teams promoted. Exactly what we are lacking.

My friend was 'normal'. Nice chap. Nice family. Hardworking. Good laugh. Then the wife thing. Life took a few swings at him. He hit the ale. Depressed. Could drop a mood in the camp when he'd had too much. But still glimpses of the man he was before. Flashes of the old humour. The old spark out of the darkness. Then BANG suddenly it was all light. Not like he was before wife-gate. More so. Totally illuminated 24/7. In public at least. As I said. Each to their own. coping mechanisms and all that. A completely different man to the depressed one he'd become. But also completley different to what he was originally. Drifted from our group really. His evangelical positivity ironically created a bit of negativity because, well, sometimes people like a grumble. That's life. People like to say "Bloody traffic wardens , I'm sure they wait for me" it gets it out the system. Someone telling them to see the positive side of the ticket because they might learn to park correctly, actually puts an edge into a throwaway line of a group of chaps having a laugh and a grumble. Haven't seen him in a long while actually. But as long as he's ok that's the main thing. Like I said different bloke to who he was. Alienated people in his own sun-shining way. But hopefully got some new friends of a similar disposition. Crikey. Bit deep for a Sunday afternoon. Anyway. Snodgrass. Bit of a two hat. Great left peg though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
