Cerberus 0 Posted October 1, 2013 I am not sure what all this talk about blackbirds is about, but I am just about old enough to remember the bitter from the Falcon Brewery. Talking of bitter and being banned.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,747 Posted October 1, 2013 Are you on about the Falcon Brewery from the Isle of Man Louis ? Never been there myself so have not sampled their ales but I do know a couple who had a romantic break there a couple of years ago but for one reason or another they no longer post on here else I could have asked them about the brewery. Mind you with all these multiple accounts flying around maybe they no longer use their original accounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Threads like this annoy me.Becchio is reserve for a reason- he isnt as good/better than the 3 players infront of him!Wizard would be the first to complain if we played Becchio and not RvW/Hoops! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,747 Posted October 1, 2013 [quote user="Louise Cyphre"]Try a bit closer to home, like Yarmouth[/quote]Correct me if I am wrong Louis but I thought the Falcon Brewery at Yarmouth is a new brewery on the site of the old Lacons brewery and using the Lacons name and old recipes for their beers. You said you could just about remember the old Falcon bitter so I take it you mean the old Lacons bitter ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Sorry my mistake - it was a long time ago, I thought it always used to be called the Falcon Brewery on account of the symbol and that being a play on words. But rather astonishingly, the long standing head brewer when it closed it 1968 was called Michael Falcon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barossa 0 Posted October 2, 2013 [quote user="First Wizard"]Let Becchio go off on loan to Leeds, its wicked how we''re treating that lad now. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/8950306/sky-bet-championship-leeds-wanted-norwich-striker-luciano-becchio-arsenals-serge-gnabry[/quote]He can''t be as bad as RVW. His inability to control the ball in the last game was a major worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted October 2, 2013 Not sure how badly the club are treating him, would think he like all professional footballers is actually receiving excellent treatment, salary and plenty of time off to play golf. Its a squad game, as mentioned, if we get an injury or two he will certainly get some game time over what is a very long season. But "wicked how we are treating" him..........cant go with that....

Yellowfuture 71 Posted October 2, 2013 What''s fairness got to do with it. He is a player contracted to our club and the club is doing what it considers to be in its best interest.These are professionals, we''re not talking little Jonny who doesn''t get picked for the under 7''s team on a Sunday morning.

Chip20 69 Posted October 2, 2013 He''s only been here half a season. He''s played a part in some matches in that time. He will almost certainly get further chances going forward.Would there be a point in playing a fourth choice striker above the other three preferred options just to make him feel more fairly treated?Wiz, I''m struggling to see what is so unfair about the situation. If we were to let him go we would be down to three strikers. Would you consider that enough? What if one gets injured while another gets a three match suspension? What if two get injured and another suspended?Who would you get in that would be happier being our fourth choice striker? If we were to get a ''better'' striker in then somebody else gets demoted to fourth choice with little game time; would you consider them to be unfairly treated too?
