The problem with the internet..

[webmaster]

The problem with the internet is that anyone can publish what they want (even me!) - and if they appear to be able to string a few sentences together people will take them seriously - even if the content of their writing is illogical and contradictory.


Here's a good example - an article by Mr/s Thracian:
http://www.leicester.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=6645&c=

One of his/her complaints was about players being played out of position today.

As far as I could see, we didn't have many players out of position today. Hughes played on the right of midfield, a position where he's done alright in the past - and he was one of our better players today.

The other was Maybury at left back. He's played (and done very well) playing left back for his country, and played regularly at left back for Hearts. So he's hardly a fish out of water.

Everyone else was in their proper position. So I'd suggest that the position players were playing in today was not the problem.


But in the very same article he suggests playing Hume and Hammond in midfield. Two strikers, playing in midfield. So he's suggesting that the answer to the problem of playing players out of position, is to play other players out of position instead.


But there's more.

He suggests that MdV should have been partnered up front by... Chris O'Grady! "why leave O'Grady out with the goalscoring form he's in?.", he says.
The goalscoring form he's in. Hmm. Well he did score a couple for the reserves the other night...against a Palace back four with no league experience between them.
In 'proper' matches he's scored one goal in his last 11 games. Against Torquay. Some goalscoring form that is then.

To be honest he can write what ever he wants, suggest whatever pops into his head and publicly air those views. But they don't actually matter - what does is what happens on the pitch and thats not going right at all.

If only the Board made some kind of statement regarding CL, or is Silence golden?

it's people like him that start these "rumours" and people believe him because he publishes his views in articles.

i would imagin he's about 16 years old and thought he should make the most of his GCSE english, by writing up his bonehead dad's opinions on the internet. after all, what dad says has to be right.

I don't rate or agree with most of his 'work' tbh.

The bloke is a grade A arse, the truth was yesterday Craig picked a side that in the main had players in there true positions, except for, as Webbo has stated, Maybury and Hughes who played in those same positions last week, what he should be writing about is the lack of fight shown by what should have been a fairly strong and well balanced line up.

By the way read his profile, he used to copy write for the Sport, so dont be surprised to be reading articles such as "Levein abducted by Aliens" in the coming weeks !

I wonder why he doesn't come on here and say all of that, banned perhaps?

As far as I know he's not banned.

 

[SilverFox]

He does say some very stupid things, and I love how he publishes news that everyone has been talking about on the forums (and has often been published in other articles), like it is special information that he alone is privvy to.

Just stop reading what he writes...I have!

 

[beaumontfox]

so why doesn't he come on here and say what he has to say?

 

[webmaster]

Just stop reading what he writes...I have!

The only reason I started reading it was because I'd heard people say how much crap he writes, so I had to check it out for myself!

 

[SilverFox]

And its all been wonderfully confirmed ey?:icon_wink

 

[Chrysalis]

actually it isnt a problem that is the beauty of the internet free speach.

if you dont like what he says then dont read it.

now I dont know if what he says is right or not, I am just pointing outt everyone has the right to his/her opinion. What I do agree on tho is craig needs to go and the board need to make their views public.

 

[webmaster]

actually it isnt a problem that is the beauty of the internet free speach.

If you'd read what I was originally saying, it was that people will believe stuff that appears to be well written, even if it's a load of bollocks. I wasn't complaining about free speech, just the way people can be swayed by what they read.

I think the fact that people like Thracian can apparently influence the thinking of people on FT proves my point.


The fact that someone who appears to be well respected and seems to think he knows the solution to our current problem, but at the same time publishes something that doesn't make sense, shows just how hard it is to be a football manager. Everyone thinks they know better than the manager, but few people turn out to be very good at the job.

............Everyone thinks they know better than the manager, but few people turn out to be very good at the job.

no offence webbo, but I feel inclined to say, thats football and part of why we all love it so much.

Not arguing with you on that.

 

[beaumontfox]

did he explain in his reply on the other site why he thought Stearman scored with a header?
