marbelladave Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 Apropos the footy, Good highlights package on the OS, shows all the penalty claims, Mee's thundering tackle etc, etc. About 15 mins in all, way better than the FLS...

marbelladave Posted 24 January 2011 Posted 24 January 2011 What FoxesPlayer? Guess so, I had to log in to see it. A pretty decent package, minimal introduction and straightforward, largely unbiased commentary. The whole clip runs just under 15 minutes, all football with decent camera angles and replays, not bad at all. I rarely bother if I have been at the game but I wanted to see the penalty incidents again, the replays were quite enlightening, Millwall's second was nothing whatsoever to do with Mee, probably not even a pen. Generally quite impressive.
lcfcadam Posted 25 January 2011 Posted 25 January 2011 Just out of interest what happened to the thread regarding alleged racist chanting? If it's been deleted would just be enlightening to know why, as in did the reasonable comments degrade into the usual crap? Asking purely out of curiosity

We were discussing whether the Yuki Abe dog chant was racist at the time......
Thracian Posted 25 January 2011 Posted 25 January 2011 Personally I think there is a bigger long term picture going on at the moment. Sven has his eyes firmly on the premiership. That is what the he wants, the owners want and the vast majority of the fans want. The question he is asking himself is which of these players is good enough to play there in the style of play i want and I think necessary to be a stable side in that division? it is true we are not currently building a side in the truest sense of the word but then agian who is? Take QPR top of the table and have brought in Wayne Routledge, Ishmail Miller and Chimbonda, the first two on loan and Routledge went straight into their side yesterday and scored, presumably replacing a "local" crowd favourite yet I don't expect many of their fans will be complaining. The facts this season are that for whatever reasons the core of players we had last year have not performed to the same standards as last year. Berner has looked slower and off the pace, he was poor on Saturday, though he has had2/3 good games of late. Hobbs has had what I would call a pretty dismal season. He has made several mistakes which have led directly to goal and dropped points. He offers, despite his height, no threat in the opposition penalty area and is not especially comfortable coming forward with the ball at his feet and his passing isn't too great either. Weale has lacked fitness and confidence. Wellens at the start of the season looked unfit and disinterested but is now looking a vital player for us. He and to a certain extent Dyer are perfect examples of what Sven is trying to do. Both have had their critics earlier in the season but the overall improvement in the technical ability of the squad ( Naughton big improvement, Cunningham technically very good, Vassell technically very good and obviously Yakuba whose link play on Saturday was sublime) has allowed players like Dyer, wellens and to a certain extent Gallagher to grow in confidence, self belief and are starting to produce performance of excellent quality. I'd rather watch the type of football we are playing now than the often drab stuff played under pearson. I also think that should we ever get back to the premiership it is excactly this type of style with technically gifted players playing it that we will need to survive there. Now Mee had a poor debut but technically he looked like he might have some qualities that Hobbs doesn't currently have. It is up to players like Hoobs and Waghorn to knuckle down and try to improve. Maybe they can maybe they can't only time will tell, but listen to Sven and he always talks about how good technically a player is and I'm convinced that is what he is looking to improve and to build from there. Couldn't agree more - he's got his recipe for playing proper football and all the ingredients must blend in to give the flavour he wants and why not? Pearson may be a hero to some but his football was tedious and looked no better when he left than when he started. Sousa got slated for vainly trying to make the transformation that Sven has had the backing to achieve but, my life, there's some football in our ranks now - and the more so when our defence is sorted and we can genuinely attack from the back for the first time since MON. Happy days.

Mee's tackle was sexual. Busted that Morison fucker too. Shame he nearly ruined the rest of the match in the other 88 mins! Millwall player can have no complaints about his red card though. 2-footed, both studs up. Yeah he got the balll, but you can't follow through with both feet and take the man. I might cry when my free FoxesPlayer runs out

Agreed just saw this, great post think it sums up svens thinking, as has got to look to both getting to the prem as well as staying there!
