MaltRam got a reaction from FlyBritishMidland in Sporting Intelligence Unit?
Innovation. Good to see. It can work, or it might not, but trying something is much better than passively hoping things turn out OK.

Original Jaffa Cakes are minging. All derivative versions are inedible.
b****** inbred chimera Satan child of cakes and biscuits, with added jelly concentrate.
I'd sooner have an over-dunked Rich Tea fished out of my brew with a spoon.

MaltRam got a reaction from Crewton in UEFA Euro 2024 Thread
What the actual flip have I just witnessed? Very, very lucky to sneak a point.

MaltRam got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Unlikely phrases to hear
All this straight talk from politicians is getting out of hand. Why can't they just be evasive and blame the other lot?

MaltRam reacted to Crewton in The Ukraine War
I don't see the Western Powers (sic) transgressing across Russia or China's borders, destroying their cities, murdering their citizens, stealing their children and brainwashing them, bullying smaller countries into ceding land and coastal waters in the name of "security concerns", flying into their airspace, sailing through their territorial waters, sending their mercenaries to support autocratic and oppressive regimes across Africa in exchange for mineral rights. Where is this western aggression of which you speak?
Tell me, because I'd like to know.
And while we're on the subject, why should unprovoked aggression and war crimes be rewarded with territory?

MaltRam reacted to RamInSweden in Karamoko Dembele - Gone to QPR on loan
My observations have been that with the correct personnel and no fan pressure to change to a back four he has preferred 352. He also said in interviews he likes two forwards, one being a number 9 and the other being a second striker, a number 10 or a free role (nml), dependent on what is needed for that particular game.
Of course he has played various formations, but they often seem forced and he has always been itchibg to go back to 352.
First season we had no wing backs, he tried Barkhuizen and NML in that position and it didn’t work, so he reluctantly (his words) went to back four.
Second season he bought players to play a back three and the players just couldn’t adjust to it, he kept flirting with a 352 but it just didn’t get going. We then went through that spell when we signed Gayle as our only fit striker and played 343 for a few games which looked great, but Warne voiced his concerns about the midfield being light, and then in our run in played what you could call a 3511.
If 3511 is his preference which to me it seems to be, that currently has us with NML, CBT and Barkhuizen as the slightly out of position player off the striker. Bringing in more wingers (the position we are mostly linked with) seems a little counter productive if we don’t have a large budget.
Now a number of factors could prove me wrong, and if it does, then fair enough I’m wrong, but to suggest I haven’t been paying attention to the team I have religiously followed for 36 years is a bit silly. Im not a regular poster here, although I have been an active lurker for many years.
If you got through all that and are still awake, well done.

MaltRam got a reaction from Grimbeard in Premier League clubs to vote on scrapping VAR
Premier League are saying there would be 100 more incorrect decisions per year if VAR was scrapped. 5 per team.
They seem to think this is a strong argument in favour of VAR.
I'd so readily wear one extra incorrect decision every 8 games, to be able to celebrate in the moment a goal gets scored. Awful development.

MaltRam got a reaction from DiggerB in Conor Hourihane - Has left the club
Good luck to him and Barnsley. My take was that his legs had gone and so had his competitive edge. Hope I'm wrong.
