SnowballThe Rouge But 2 or so shots versus 1 is a low sample size. As is 1 game.
Just reserve judgement. Judge Reading over a season or a half season, Judge Leigertwood over 10+ games..
I think you miss my point.
If there was 1 shot on target after he went off, then in 77 minutes he limited the opposition to 2 in 77 mins
if there were two shots O-T after he went off, then in 77 minutes he limited the opposition to a single shot on target
Considering we were letting in goals for fun a few games ago, he can't have been that bad

Ian Royal Judging by the first half it certainly had little to do with Leigterwood who ambled around the middle of the pitch not doing a lot.

Well you would know after your cub's 5-a-side reserve game in 1971
a couple of weeks ago Hoop BlahSnowball I've never been "full of it" or overplayed my playing years.
No I didn't play to a high standard. I was a Longy, didn't play at all until I was 16. Started in the RAF
played a lot, well all the time if I could. Was very, very fast and my first touch made Long look like Messi,
but I got better and better and played until I was 38. RW for a long time, CF for about 4-5 years, then CB
which I thought, relatively was a piece of piss.
I played 2 x 90 minutes last year (aged 62) AND scored. Not bad for a bloke with a metal knee.
My biggest regret was I didn't play soccer as a kid because I was extremely quick and I think I could
have been a reasonable player. But I've been in and around soccer, involved in the back-room and
fund-raising etc for NCAFC, got to know a few managers and players personally, even had a 10-15 minute
1-2-1 chat with Bill Shankly once. (Accident, he thought I was someone else, but who cares?)
Fair enough, it was a genuine question, and you almost gave me a straight answer.
I was more interested in what the was standard like? Hobnob FC level? More like Reading Town? Higher?
Full of it might've been an exaggeration, but you do like to drop your 'career' in there now and again and as above belittle those who haven't played.

That reminds me. Did you ever answer my question about the level you played at?
by Ian Royal » 01 Dec 2010 19:45
Hoop Blah So you won't answer my question then, even after making the condecending comments about Ian's footballing background.
To be honest, I think it's a real shame that a man of your supposed age, experience and education has taken to behaving quite as you do on an forum such as this. It's quite sad really.

Ian Royal Agree it's generally going to help, but it certainly doesn't mean anyone who's played to some sort of level automatically has a more worthwhile opinion than someone who hasn't.
And lets face it, for all snowball knows about me I could have played to quite a high non-professional standard, or had trials with Man Utd as a kid, or be a qualified ref, or coach. But he does love to trot out the "I'm better than the rest of you" stuff from his ivory tower of ignorance.

comeonyouroyals Not sure why the level off football you play has anything to do with being able to evaluate a football game, after all Mourinho was never a professional player.

I can't think of a single manager who wasn't a player before going in to management/coaching (even Rodgers was a player, albeit one that didn't make it).
