  1. Ex NFL star. Wide Receiver for a host of teams (Bengals, New England Patriots, Dolphins).
  2. Erm, I posted that before the Leeds match. Yeah, that's it. What makes this worse is I actually thought we'd played 38 games, and still believed we had 10 games left. I've no hope of being taken seriously, have I. Nurse!
  3. You're looking at it too literally. I totally agree with what you've said, but that's not what the phrase is really alluding to. Is it better to go and attempt to get three points, than sit tight for a draw? Of course it is. And sometimes, doing so, will result in zero points. And sometimes, it won't. I would suggest, without doing any analysis or research, that those teams, who are capable during a match of getting all three points, would fare better over the season, than those who aren't, simply because they are going for the win. If a team pushes, and gets two extra wins a season from having this ability or mentality, that's four extra points gained (above the 2 points gained for drawing those two games). 6 points in two games, that would take 6 games to achieve if those games were draws. We've 10 games left. We'll run out of games if we draw too many, and that will kill us.
  4. It's more than that. It's 1.8 points, as that is what we would need to go above Huddersfield's 49.8. Getting just one point, based on this analysis, would leave us on 49.1, third from bottom.
  5. For all those talking of draws, have you seen Röhl's managerial stats: Played 29, drawn 3. Which ever way you look at it, that's an incredibly low number. Look at our game against Stoke as a prime example of Röhl's mentality. Had Moore been in charge of that game, he'd have most likely set us up from around 70 minutes to contain and get a point. But Röhl on 79 minutes, brought on 2 more attacking/forward players, to bolster our attack. This is after he's already brought on Musaba on 58 minutes for Cadz. Draws kill you in many ways, and I think part of the reason we're actually still in with a shout of survival is due to the lack of them. Personally, I'm in the "must not lose" camp against our relegation rivals, but I very much doubt that's DR's take on it. I can almost hear Yoda saying "Win. Or do not win. There is no draw". Danny Röhl is Yoda - although I'd guess a bit younger, slightly taller and without the ears.
  6. Day off today, and yes he was at a certain gym. He's training with the 1st team, until it comes to shadow play towards the end of the week, in preparation for the upcoming game.
  7. Dear RevOwl, Thank you for your application for the position of apprentice comedian on OwlsTalk. We really appreciate your interest, and we’re pleased that you decided to invest time and effort in creating this thread. We carefully reviewed a large number of applications; unfortunately, at this time we won’t be able to invite you to the next stage of the hiring process. Though your OP was impressive, we have decided to move forward with a candidate whose qualifications are better suited to this particular role. Kindest Regards.
  8. He's not saying that. He's quite clearly saying that free speech must be respected and tolerated, and that cuts both ways. If certain fans don't agree with the protest, they are welcome to have their say I'm sure, in a none violent, none abusive and none confrontational way - the same way that, it seems, the 1867 Group and their volunteers are acting. Spitting at, knocking flyers from and making remarks about the clothing of, the volunteers and members of the 1867 Group, crosses a boundary, whether or not you agree or disagree with the 1867 Group protest.
  9. Good - well not good because they'll all had to witness something they shouldn't - but the more the merrier to support your report. It's high time people started recording this type of thing - and that's not a discredit to you of course. Sometimes it's not easy to do, for various reasons including personal safety and timing, but it would nail the idiots once and for all. What's most annoying is that fact your group can't be the only ones who heard it, yet you're the only ones doing anything about it. That's a real shame. Caveat - others may have reported it, who aren't on OT or who don't want to identify themselves of course.
  10. I don't know if this has already been said/mentioned, but will those around you back-up what you witnessed/heard? Better to have several people reporting the same thing, than just one. I'm sure you see my point. Well done for doing what you've done.
  11. And that starts the first of many fights during that match
  12. What a start to your day We used to call it Goalie Wag, so we never used that specific terminology, but to me it suggests the person at the back, nearest the goal. So basically your final thought on it, i.e. last line of defence. But what the hell does Goalie Wag mean? If people bunked off school they were said to be "wagging it" so is wag a term for missing perhaps?
  13. When the first mural was done, I honestly though "that'll get graffiti'd within hours". So glad I was wrong. It's something very different and shows our heritage and background. It's humerous, relevant and well thought out.
  14. Ah Now you bloody tell me (thanks btw). I have actually been away from the site for a few weeks, so I have possibly missed that thread tbh. Anyway, Chair yeah. He's appealed. Did you know?
  15. WTF. Why has this reply ended up in here. Mods, delete please.
