I haven't seen that match. I have seen the Southampton v Man Utd match though, therefore I feel reasonably qualified to give an opinion on what I saw.

I can understand that, you saw the entire match, or highlights? btw, I asked for your input on the l**ds players 'complaints', NOT your view of that match.

Maybe they were excuses for poor performance, maybe they weren’t. I know nothing of that game, hence my ‘reluctance’ to comment. Given that I was talking about one specific famous game, where virtually everyone aside from Man Utd supporters themselves (and yourself, obviously) found Ferguson’s excuse absolutely ludicrous (including some of the United players themselves, I believe), I didn’t feel I needed knowledge of a separate match with different teams wearing different colours under different conditions.

I didn't ask you to have 'knowledge' of a different match. I asked for your thoughts on the l**ds players complaining of visibility issues under floodlighting with a green and blue strip, this being the 'base' for our conversations, ie. the 'suitability of such a strip' in terms of 'visibility'. also I can't quite see where you've answered my question of 'did you see the full saints v. man. u. game, OR highlights?'.

Couldn't care less about their win rate . If we had their win rate the boxing day massacre would never have happened because we wouldnt have been there to play them . Also it would have altered our history completely . We could have ended up being man citeh but we could also have ended up being Portsmouth . I am happy with our win rate then and wouldn't swap it for the seventies rate of l###s or anything else . It is what makes us what we are .

The Night-Owl Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) My take on the teasers is that we're going to revive the Finlux TV sponsored 80s era kits? Home kit a modern recreation based on one of these Away and 3rd kit based on these Edited July 13, 2019 by The Night-Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy with our win rate then and wouldn't swap it for the seventies rate of l###s or anything else . It is what makes us what we are . it's true that it 'makes up what we are' in financial trouble again/still, faced with losing our best manager for quite some time, a much, much smaller club that we were when I started watching us. thinking back to those 1970's games, defeat after defeat, save our owls, when we went away you only went for the crack as a win was such a rarity (twice a season if we were lucky) watching sides like sunderland, oxford and swindon enjoying coming to hillsborough year after year as it was their 'happy hunting ground'. NAH! that utter shithole of a decade was a complete disaster, as for 'the massacre, it may well have happened sooner had we been high enough to be in the same division as the pigs on any occasion. yep! it sure does make us what we are, in quite a bit of trouble again. I saw a table once, it gave the combined standing of all 92 clubs in the FL as to their win rate over a number of successive seasons, all I can say is thank god for southport.

The Night-Owl Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Daniel Stendel and Hector will be unveiled along with the new kits, with all the kits being modern recreations based upon the Finlux TV sponsored late 80s era kits, around next weekend.

Spacing between looks off too. At that size/resolution I can't see anything that looks particularly wrong myself. The Elev8 logo follows the material correctly in my opinion, given that the material has far less strength than the heavier and (presumably) rubberised logo. If it has been photoshopped, it's been done very well. I'd like to see a higher resolution version to be sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
