On the other hand I've noticed that this season that there are at least 2 fourth official boards being used in the dug outs.

 

Not sure if the coaches are expected to type in their subs then give it to the fourth official

about the dispute with Lascelles - https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/matt-ritchie-gives-side-story-15181278

 

best quote: “I’ve been the same player since day one. Jonjo Shelvey will say to me, ‘Matty, please, just for today will you not shout?’.

 

i'd forgotten how bad the chronicle site is so here's the article:

 

Matt Ritchie says that he and Jamaal Lascelles were on speaking terms within 20 minutes of their training ground discussion last month.

 

The Scotland winger, speaking to the Daily Express, has revealed he is a vocal character during practice sessions with the Magpies .

 

Ritchie said: “We had a difference of opinion and a discussion about it – a lively discussion!

 

“Jamaal and I are two of the more vocal characters, very similar in the way we train and conduct ourselves.

 

“It was something which got overheated but it was nothing personal and 20 minutes later, everything was fine.”

 

Ritchie, though, feels his encouragement at the club’s Benton base is never taken the wrong way.

 

He said: “The lads know me.

 

“I’ve been the same player since day one. Jonjo Shelvey will say to me, ‘Matty, please, just for today will you not shout?’.

 

“I’ll try it for 10 minutes but more often than not, I’ll fail.

 

“Sometimes they just ignore me and are thinking, ‘Just shut up’ but it doesn’t stop me because it makes me demand levels from myself.”

 

“I’ve always been loud, always been vocal.

 

“It’s just my personality and I’ve never been one to shy away from voicing an opinion.

 

“I like to think I am honest and open with those around me and if you are demanding the highest standards from team-mates, your own standards have to be right up there as well.”

Has The Chronicle always just ripped off other media outlets’ stories or just the past few years?

 

For years, they are owned by Trinity Mirror and technically they are loss making as a local newspaper.

Sick of this cunt. Championship player living off his Championship season.

 

He has to be 'Mr Newcastle' to take the glory. He can't and/or won't cross the ball. What he will do though is cut inside, ignore players in better positions who he could pass too, try and beat 1 CB, then if he's done that he'll either take one of his shots or will try to beat the next CB who has closed him down, again ignoring other players in better positions to pass too, and if he's done that he'll take a shot unless he's been push too far wide in which case he'll come back inside again until he's lost the ball.

 

He a selfish bastard who is unwilling to pass the ball. he gets away with it though because in the Championship he was good enough to get away with it and once every so often one of his shots will find the net. It's easier for people to count the goals he's scored for us then it is to count the ones he's cost us. A fucking fraud who's head drops way too easily.

Utter horseshit

Absolute horseshit. I do think, however that his influence might not be having the positive impact that his attributes should provide. When players are lacking confidence, he can probably compound things. Just another symptom of Ashley's ownership, and in no way a slur on Ritchie.

Cannot be bothered to have a go at players at this point, would i be motivated to play under Mike Ashley? Would i f***.

You’d just have to close your eyes, man-up and think about the holiday! Ashley is to bonuses what Jim Bowen was to gameshow prizes. And you wouldn’t want to miss out on that speed boat, would you? (For the metaphor to work you probs  need to be an unemployed, public transport user from somewhere  like Mansfield...). You can’t beat a bit of Cashley!  :naughty:

Put 13 crosses into the box yesterday. Not his fault we don't have a centre forward worthy of the name.

 

And how many were actually decent?

 

Dummett's crosses are better than this twats.

 

Must be difficult when you're trying pick out Muto and Perez. They're hardly Shearer and Ferdinand.

He like many others was signed as a championship player to get out the championship. You know, the league we ended up in all thanks to mikes neglect. Which is why our squad is full of championship players and that's only one mans fault again. If he ran it even semi competently from 2007 we would have never even been in a relegation battle

Guarantee that if we had a good striker they'd look decent. Much in the same way Barton wasn't a particularly good crosser and then along came Andy Carroll.

he's bang average, commits loads of stupid fouls in dangerous places but because he works at it he gets away with it.

 

pretty crap really

The only valid criticism of Ritchie is that he lacks pace. His delivery and general end product is quality, if he had that extra yard of pace he'd be one of the most sought after wide men in the Premier.

Ritchie is a great championship player. Not good enough to be relied upon as one of your main creative forces in the premier league. There's a reason Bournemouth flogged him
