loyalfollower 1,543 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 We did what we had to to combat their play. Sometimes being gung-ho against another gung-ho team will see us lose. better in my opinion to be controlled and wait for the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collectively we are much more professional and even on a night we have a few players below par we have others who can step up to the plate and win the game for us. Good 3 points. Aw for fuck sake.

Thought the folk were dicks and just didn't get a nice vibe from it at all. This one cunt that looked like Clint Eastwood in the Gran Torino film, think his name was Harry, biggest arsehole going. I'm not the best pool player in the world but he'd spend time at the tables thinking he owned the place, I played a wee Mexican guy, beat him and mad Harry was up next. Never wanted to win a game so badly. Asked him if he had change for the table and he just looked me up and down and pointed to the bar ok prick ... anyway, pocketed from break and potted another 2 and he pipes up with "you are using my cue" ... give him "his cue" and still go on to beat him ... he says rematch I say naw your OK, finish my beer and walk out held high and said I'm never going back in there again shitehole (especially compared to some other places in Manhattan) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few of them thought I had the wrong place obviously being the only non-white guy there then not ordering any alcohol That Harry guy no one of the main guys running it ? If I'm thinking of the right guy, he had a pop at me because I had put my can of red bull down on the pool table where they had laid out their merchandise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks slow and ponderous. The jury still out on him for me. That said, the Leeds fans think he was fantastic for them and most were unhappy when he left. I know that was Championship and not PL, but still one of the better Championship sides. This suggests the guy has something so hopefully it will show in the future.

Aye but he couldn't get a game at Brighton then got loaned to Wigan, then signed by Wigan to complete the 19-20 season but my point is he could surely have got a better club on loan than Wigan and/or played for Wigan. Can't believe that diddy Duffy played ahead of Goldson/Balogun. 3 minutes ago, Hadron Collider said: Just outside Toronto mate. Mississauga. Winters are horrible here.

Decent Yeah you could be right there mate, whilst I was in exile I kinda lost out on a load of info i'd normally get on here and became like one of the old guys everyone knows. My boy would tell me we got a new player and most times i'd ask if he was good or shite having never heard of him Good point about Duffy, can understand how Goldson didn't play with his heart operation etc but not Balogun. Duffy surely wasn't always as brutal as he is now, he runs like a 38 year old, can't believe his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 It was great win, but is it OK to say this, it was fucking shit to watch. A game without decent filtered in crowd noise can be a bit like standing at the side waiting for folk to fuck off from your pitch at the AstroTurf.
