Not able to start  a thread, anyone know where i can get good season reviews from years past?

 

Internet. Strangely, that was one of the first thing I think I asked about too! The old Black & White tapes you'll be lucky to find outside the internet, even the DVDs in the store of 'recent' years are still around £20. Internet is very cheap, and I think I actually bought a whole host of Toon DVDs from someone on this board (all in good condition).

 

Thnanks man, but im just looking for written reviews like.

Too funny - probably mean to pat the ref on the shoulder, and ends up doing that.  :D

You are a referee, no?

 

What is the situation with touching referee's anyway? Seems to differ by the leagues and the players. I was watching our match on Saturday, and M'Bia actually grabbed the referee's head with both of his hands when pleading for a decision. I thought he might even get sent off, but nothing was made of it.

Ho'way man, very few people around here read other people's posts, let alone books or reviews! No idea about season reviews, I know you can get very weak recaps for some seasons of WIKI, but yeah. There's a good book due out next year by the Newcastle United Historian detailing each season from year 0-present day. Going to be a total stat geek's wet dream - can't wait.

Yes, I referee.

 

You read all sorts of non-verbal things when out there.  Pat on the shoulder.... fine, Two handed touch to my face to plead a decision?  Not fine, but probably not more than a verbal warning. Would accept that more in a latin environment, than an anglo/african game. It seems more cultural to the latin players.  Now striking/pushing/shoving  etc .... Bye Bye.

 

It's like the difference between a player saying "I wasn't F****** offside" and "F***** H*** ref, I wasn't offside" You just know whether the expletive was aimed at you directly or was more just descriptive of the situation.

:lol: Brilliant. I wasn't aware they had female referee in the 2.Bundesliga.

 

The ref didn't seem too displeased, though.

 

The Bolivian president is shameful. It's that lack of professionalism that typifies us.

 

You switched nationalities there Baba?

Saw this on another forum, you might find his views on our players a tad confusing  ;D

 

That combination of strength and speed that coaches often look for.

Well Tiote & Barton is horseshit, but Smith, Lovenkrands and Simpson could comfortably be on that list. Get Perch in there too.

 

Stupid list in the first place like.

 

Yeah the list is stupid, sadly the kid is a wannabe journo without a clue.

 

Not sure what he used for Simpson, being about 5ft10 at most, is he classed as fast and shit or what? Certainly not big or strong thats for sure haha in fact other than not being any good i cant see two qualities he speaks of that Smith or Loven have either....

I suppose he's saying that Lovenkrands/Simpson just use their pace/stamina and don't have much actual ability, and Barton/Smith/Tiote are just strong bruiser types who can't do anything but put the boot in.

 

It's shite like, cos Lovenkrands isn't particularly fast nowadays, and Smith is the only one of the 3 CM who fits the bill of no technical ability.

What a load of bollocks that list is.

 

Barton and Tiote both have good ability, Bramble has decent ability as well (his problem is his head), Diaby is class, Anderson and Palacios also have decent skill and passing. Many of the strikers are better than that too - Agbonlahor certainly is.

 

The amount of black players he's named is also a bit worrying.

Holy crap, I hadn't even noticed that (assumed people are generally not racist anymore), on second viewing its disgusting.
