No point merging every single thread for having a minor relation to something else. Subject to the contents of the article, this thread has a much different slant to the two aforementioned threads.

If you don't like it, go somewhere else. oh right, so you saying there was no Chroncile article the last time? As far as I was aware, your poll was just a piss take, on not on any level based on the contents of any article. apart from being an article about the realistic captain choices, and a poll listing those choices? Realistic with Deco as an option? no, see that was the joke option. but i'm well aware you have difficulties with these forum nuances tbh, it's your 'awareness' as you put it that I'm complaining about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gemmill Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 People should gather round and watch this because I think this is what's commonly referred to as a "tipping point" (The tipping point is the critical point in an evolving situation that leads to a new and irreversible development.). It's where Vic's stupid arsehole behaviour of the last month or so starts to actually negatively impact Vic himself, so he starts playing the victim, lashing out at fellow posters and moderators, and ultimately it results in him getting banned for abusing someone. Every fucking time without fail. He's like a ticking twat time bomb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WalkervilleMag Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 a Captain's role is overated imho, other than wearing the armband, and shaking hands with the ref before the game, the role does not offer alot, so in that case it does not really matter who is captain. aslong as the tactics and performances are good.

Should he be signing a new contract? Would he make a good captain? Is this a long term commitment to the club? On a previous thread I said Owen was my choice for captain. Got the p*ss taken out of me a bit! I felt it would influence his long term commitment, and I still think that. He is an experienced world-class (in my view) player, which is a good attribute to have as a captain/leader. Like you say James, I think that he should then (also) set an example by signing a new clause-free contract. I actually think he WILL do that as well, but maybe not until later in the season, when things are provably going well (as I am more and more thinking they will)!

What total shite! Are you saying that John Terry, Tony Adams, Roy Keane etc were/are not key driving forces behind their club's success as captains? If you get the right captain it can make a hell of a difference to the dynamics of the team and the club. I was initially dismayed by the signing of Barton, but he's done nothing but impress me with the way he's conducted himself so far, and I know it's early days, but he'd be my choice for captain at this stage.

Skirge Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I think a player can play like Terry, Keane and Adams without having the armband, Parker was no better or worse when made Captain. You do need a skipper though, sometimes the most senior player is given the armband as a mark of respect, rather than how they perform on the pitch. If Barton was not such a nutter I think he could be a good Captain but other than him I would say give it to Shay! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribble Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Mergetastic! Happy Vic? Would still prefer Taylor to get captain, over Owen. Barton would be good but there's that off-field controversy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gemmill Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Taylor is too young to be captain, and there's even question marks over whether he should start every game if we're still on the lookout for more defenders. I don't think Owen should be captain either though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 If you're a leader on the pitch than you lead with or without the armband, see Gary Speed. As it is a reasonably important symbol I think it is important to give it to someone who is an automatic starter when fit, as a lot is made of dropping the captain if and when it happens. Therefore it'd make sense to give it to Given or Owen, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
