TIL 1010 4,748 Posted January 28, 2015 [quote user="nutty nigel"] But it did nothing to help remove the fat controller. If anything it had the opposite effect as he dug in his heels and rounded up the Met. [/quote]No Nutty, Chase did not round up the Met. He had no input into Policing outside the ground. The decision to have horses would have been made by the match day commander so as Norfolk Police does not have a mounted section the nearest available after Essex and Notts is the Met. Police experience shows that 1 horse is as good and effective as 10 men. 6 horses or 60 extra men on foot I will let you decide which looks more OTT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,536 Posted January 28, 2015 Ha Rickyyyyy, I reckon you and Felix are lost somewhere between being a spectator, customer and consumer. Nothing wrong with that though, you pay your money and make the choice. If you were a supporter you''d be one who supports in the good times but not in the bad times which would be a fairweather supporter which would be an insult....Being a supporter entails actually doing something to support. The finest example I''ve seen this season was at Brentford where they were totally partisan, the officials were always wrong unless brentford were on the right end of the decision. We always fouled and they never did. They will be worth a fair few points to Brentfordat the end of the season. The time for saying "actually that was a penalty" or criticising your own is after the game is over. That''s my view of support but I understand others may differ.Tilly, the last 8 games are relevant because its current. The whole season is the bigger picture. Not sure what relevance just November has...Oh and having the Andrews on speed dial has achieved diddly squat.....;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,748 Posted January 28, 2015 Glad you mentioned ''current'' there Nutty especially as you are not a fan of changing the manager mid term a subject you have had plenty to say on time and again on numerous threads. Prior to the day Neil Adams departed we had witnessed a complete no show at Preston and the game before that a shambolic performance at Reading. On both occasions Neil cut a sad lonely figure who had obviously lost his grip on things( for whatever reason).So are you saying ''current'' only applies to form and not circumstances surrounding performance ?

nutty nigel 7,536 Posted January 28, 2015 Im not sure of your point Tilly. Adams resignation meant we had to make changes during the season. Like it or not that''s the reality. So what is relevant about the games in November and those two games after Christmas? I bet you''re miffed because with Adams resigning you don''t feel like you''ve got your pound of flesh ;)My point remains that despite all the upheaval with managers and coaches and despite all the whinging wining booing and hollering on Saturday we still have taken 16 points from the 8 games since the end of November. Who knows what will happen in the future but for now I can see plenty of positives in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,300 Posted January 28, 2015 We''ve take 0 points from 1 game at home in the last week....I I can see the negative in this! 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe because it would somewhat dilute your 2 points a game. Those games in November are just as relevant in my book. Could they have been a blip before the car crashes that were Reading and Preston.How pound of flesh remark is just stupid and not worth a response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,536 Posted January 28, 2015 The reason I took it from the end of November and not the start because the Wigan game was the first game that Mick Phelan had helped prepare the team. Why did you take it from the start of November[:^)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
