    rynny got a reaction from sage in v Burton Albion (A) Match Thread   
    Keeper gets a touch and Bird can't readjust his body in time. Very harsh take on it.
    Just posted in the Bird thread that it was reminiscent of the Gazza miss at Euro 96 just the opposite. Gazza expecting the touch from the keeper who doesn't and misses the ball by cms, Bird not expecting the touch and the ball goes behind him.

    The miss was the Gazza-Germany Euro 96 miss reversed.

    I think the goalkeeper deflected the ball behind Max .
    Slight deflections can mean you run past the ball and can’t get your feet right .
    Criticizing Bird is ridiculous in my eyes as he always gives his best for the team whatever .

    rynny reacted to Rev in In defence of Paul Warne.   
    I like Paul Warne and his staff, as people. 
     
    From what I can tell, they're a decent, honest and principled bunch. 
     
    I believe that's what attracted David Clowes to them in the first instance, alongside their record of success in League One. 
     
    I'll also add that they saw those principles reflected in David Clowes, hence their decision to come on board.
     
    From the start it was referenced by all parties the entire ethos of the club needed changing, and rebuilding work was needed from top to bottom, which is not the work of a moment, or indeed a few months. 
     
    The backroom staff had been hollowed out to the bare minimum, across multiple departments. 
     
    A review of the remaining staff saw several leave, and a new round of recruitment has taken place, building the club back up to operating strength across the board, from the casual staff,offices and the football support and academy roles, a process that is still ongoing.
     
    That's not a normal issue that an incoming manager has to grapple with, rebuilding the back room to what it should be, while ensuring his requirements are met. We've seen a level of churn across the Academy management in that time, which must have demanded Warnes attention at various stages, in addition to the normal commitments management brings.
     
    We've an owner learning about operating a football club, having taken over in sheer desperation, leaning on the manager he's appointed I presume, there seems to be no other football experts within his team we know of.
     
    None of this is normal for a first team football manager, especially in his first job away from a much smaller club with different expectations, so mistakes and stumbles will inevitably happen. 

     
    We got close enough last season that there were few grumbles about his position, yet after only two games, one in the league, there's a sizable minority calling for change, and a notable shift in how he's perceived. 
     
    I'm not a natural defender of Warne, but will stand up for his work so far.
     
     I'm a self confessed football snob, and don't see him as the man to lead us back to the promised land of the Premier League, probably based around pre conceptions of his football philosophy rather than any evidence, but he's Clowes choice to launch that journey, and some of the criticism on here recently is well out of kilter with the job he's done so far.

    In my opinion showing how some peoples actions effect others need to be shown sometimes.
    I can guarantee that the idiots who chanted the vile comments to Sharpe don’t have kids of their own.
    If they do? There’s no hope for the future.

    True. But the fans were giving him abuse before that. 
    He was talking after the game about how much the Plymouth fans appreciate him down there, and how good it is to know that.
    One idiot near me yesterday raised an ironic cheer and clap when Wildsmith caught a high ball just after Wigan's second goal yesterday. Some of our fans are so self-entitled and don't know the meaning of support.

    So, technically correct, they are owed, situation is expected to be resolved in the next payment run.
    It's not nothing but also not worthy of the dramatic framing?
    Still funny.
    With the potential to be much funnier at the end of the month. We all remember the fawaz bank holidays.

    Don't think it does contradict, players who have left the club were due to be paid their bonuses at the end of July and the players still at the club are due in August, the players that should have been paid already are believed to be paid in August with the current players.

    Playing whilst injured as we only had Roos as back up.
    The season before he was magnificent, and his performance away at Brighton in the play offs was one of the best I have seen by a keeper.
