Ted McMinn Football Genius

Players aren’t robots and they aren’t all the same, some will be good kind human beings and some will be idiots.
Some will do lots of work in the community and charity work and some will spend all their spare time on the golf course.
Some will care about the fans and some won’t give a toss.

I doubt they give a **** about what most fans think. Often see them around moor farm and they are pleasant and courteous, but I expect they would laugh if I ever fed back some of the comments on here (or mine!). Certain fans have never kicked a ball at a decent level and suddenly become experts on formations, positions etc...backed up by stats like xG and hindsight 🤨
I have my B licence and still no nothing compared to those who do this for a living, so much goes on that is not noticeable, even less so when watching on the box.

Also think anyone in football who goes on twitter / forums to see what people are saying about them is on an absolute hiding to nothing and no good can come of it.

I've been in and around the game and know a few players. I can 100% tell you direct from a player that their true opinions of fans are never spoken in public. They know where the aggressive moaners sit near the front of the stand and round the dugout, they know which twitter users not to look at, they know which ones will hammer them no matter what and try their best to ignore them at every opportunity.
They also remember the fans, young and old, who wait outside for autographs, photos and chats every home and away game and try their best to remember those fans, their names and their families.
Players are human.
I also know of at least one player who turned down a transfer to a club based on a friend they had (player) at that club and how the fans had treated him. He was basically told, the fans are idiots, don't sign for us and he didnt

I wonder if any seek validation by speculating about others talking about them.

If we get rid of Warne this season, get this man in straight away.

I believe the FA are also looking at Crewe for fielding better players than us...it isn't fare  

Aren't their debts more than a fiver ?

Work has begun to put barriers in place and should be completed within the next 2 weeks.

No wonder Pep went bald, Those taches would have scarred the lad for life.

Well if they want him it will cost them £13 million at least

You assume correctly @Mucker1884 

Pep I assume, and not El Warnio?  😁

So emotional today, hearing the applause ring out for Daniel. I was very heartened to read that both RamsTV and Radio Derby mentioned him in their commentaries. 
Thanks, @Owen87ITK.
If anyone has either snippet, those of us at the match would love to hear them. 
The moon rose over East Stand this evening in his memory.
B4 will live long in our memories. Go well, young man. 🐏⚽️🖤🤍

Shame how the clubs X account had more comments about Pearce than the new sponsor, quite sad really.

As they retained their place in the division that will be huge legal fees pissed up the wall.  Almost as big a waste as about 90 million they spent on s**** last season with 4 years wages on top.
I look forward to their accounts over 4 years
