Tyrone Shoelaces

Then there was the goal straight from a corner at Rotherham and the parry back into the danger area against Cardiff that led directly to a goal. Pears has been ok in my opinion. He had a day to forget at Wigan but how many times have you seen a long hopeful cross end up in the far corner ?

I’m thinking Jack Nicholson in the diner scene in “ Five Easy Pieces “. “ You see this sign ? “

From all accounts the other clubs that had been interested in O’Brien had pulled out. We couldn’t even sign a player when we were the only team seriously interested

“ Nothing “ seems to be the answer to that one.

We never really strengthened last year and we were in a better position than we are now. We just signed bits and pieces players, not one of them, with the possible exception of Giles, would have gone straight into the first team. When you are in the position we find ourselves in you need players that improve the team, not players to sit on the bench.

I’m really pissed off with that. O’Brien was just what we are short of in midfield.

I’m sick and tired of saying this but if in any football club ( or business ) the people making the crucial decisions are so detached from the day to day running of the club then you are being set up to fail. It can’t possibly work. This applies especially to a football club.

It’s just a place where people go to earn money.

No wonder we’re a laughing stock to the rest of the football world.

We can’t rely on our opponents scoring for us every week.

I have a “ Roberts “ internet radio when we’re out in Spain. I can get Radio Lancashire on that. I paid about £80 for it years ago.

Not signing an experienced striker will be nothing short of a major cock up. Not signing an experienced striker and an experienced midfield player will be disastrous.

Maybe that’s because there’s nothing to say ?

The Rochdale site think he’s staying put.

He was on trial at Sheff Utd last week.

I thought he might have got the caretakers job when they fired Big Sam but no that snake got it instead.

“ leads the line “ - that’s being generous. It’s not the lads fault. He shouldn’t be in that position.

Leeds were talking about paying £15 million for him before he went to Forest.

From what bits I’ve seen of him he has a bit of the Ken Knighton about him.

He had one on Saturday.

Instead of monster crap ?

When we played Forest at Ewood last season Cook never put a foot wrong all night. Signing him was a master stroke for Forest last season.

John Lee Hooker reckoned he’d written “ Money “ years before it came out. Don’t know if there was any truth in it.

They don’t want the media spotlight that promotion would inevitably bring being shone on their murky dealings. Being a sideshow in a backwater suits them right down to the ground. “ Keep your head down and carry on “.

Who was that Dickens character - Uriah Heap ?
