Lord Nibblington Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 One thing thats always bugged me. Is sliced bread really an invention? I mean, think about it.
The People's Hero Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 I've always considered it to be something of an evolutionary regression since the halcyon days of 'minced' bread. Now those were the days, my friends. Sh it, is that a scone?? RUN FEZ RUN!

The People's Hero Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 Well, yeah, him or Cyril Sneer. But I take your point.
Pete_foxes Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 From what a guy on here told me is that he has an attitude problem and thats why QPR let him go & the attitude problem was picked up at Liverpool aswell. I don't know if theres truth in it, but it could be a reason why they let him go. MA will get shot straight away if hes causing trouble

Pete_foxes Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 I think it's only customary in Colombia to shoot the managers.. , good one. I'll make sure to say "shot of him" next time
evan Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 , good one. I'll make sure to say "shot of him" next time Heard he has/had an attitude problem but didnt MA refer to him the other week as "an absolute beast"? but without them returning to training yet, i'm not quite sure how he has shown himself to be such "a beast". he must have seen a video or two...no not that sort!
Daggers Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 Whatever happened to minced bread - I used to love that on toast. And does anyone remember the bread you got in bags where you added your own salt? Everything was better in the old days and no mistake.

Pete_foxes Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 That was the Salt 'n' Shake crisped snack yeah salty bread. For some reason it does not sound all too appealing
Daggers Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 That was the Salt 'n' Shake crisped snack Crisped bread? What fool would eat crisped bread? Does no one listen to government food warnings these days apart from me?
Zingari Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 just looked through a couple of sites and this post just about sums up what QPR fans think of him "Ultimately I think we'll probably view Ricky Sappleton as 'one that got away' but JG was new to the club and wanted to instill discipline immediately and Ricky was a casualty of this tougher regime. Ricky has bags of potential. He was a huge kid and benefitted greatly from his physical strength advantage in youth football, making and scoring plenty of goals. The major criticism was that he could be wasteful in front of goal, preferring to try and lash the ball home when sometimes placing a shot would have been the better option - something that could have been worked on I suppose. At the start of last season he returned to the youth team having 'bulked up' considerably over the summer and this lack of self-discipline with his diet seemed to signal the start of his fall from grace at Rangers which included turning up late for one youth team game (he was sent home) and missing the coach for an away reserve team fixture. Martin Allen has a top prospect at Leicester now and with the right guidance he could go on to be a new version of Emile Heskey - on his day a vitually unplayable and unstoppable force, especially in those early days at Filbert Street."

Sounds promising, but abit of a loose cannon. I guess he might get a chance on the wing if hume & Cort are stopping him from getting in.
Zingari Posted 29 June 2007 Posted 29 June 2007 Sounds promising, but abit of a loose cannon. I guess he might get a chance on the wing if hume & Cort are stopping him from getting in. that seemed to be the gist of many of the the other posts about him
Pete_foxes Posted 29 June 2007 Posted 29 June 2007 that seemed to be the gist of many of the the other posts about him yeah. It seems to be the general theme about him, I just hope it does not backfire on us. These types of players I feel should generally be avoided but occasionally it works out well. I hope this is one of those occasions, we don't want another Dennis Wise affair.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 29 June 2007 Posted 29 June 2007 Not sure whether he'll be given the chance in the first team this year, or if he'll play in the reserves and gain some senior (albeit low-quality) playing experience. I think that Allen will give him a chance in the first eleven, but I'd like to see it done with the academy boys we've got on contract now aswell, because they deserve a chance as much as any. On the whole though, he seems like a good prospect.

He'd be better of being loaned out to a League 1 club in my opinion. Reserve football is poor!
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 30 June 2007 Posted 30 June 2007 He'd be better of being loaned out to a League 1 club in my opinion. Reserve football is poor! I do agree that having a player loaned out can give them valuable experience. However, it can affect the players relationship with teammates, if Sappleton is played in the reserves, he can form a bond with other lads in the second string. In my opinion, either would be a good descision, but both have postive and negative elements. The most important thing is that he gets playing experience.

Simi Posted 30 June 2007 Posted 30 June 2007 He'd be better of being loaned out to a League 1 club in my opinion. Reserve football is poor! I think the standard of the reserves will be decent this year, a lot more teams using it now so there is likely to be more competition. But if we do get the chance to loan him out then I don't see why it wouldn't be a bad idea, if we've got enough strikers for back up.
