uttoxram75 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The fact that some people love to adopt a blame culture astounds me. Why are some people so quick to want to point the finger at someone and say "it was your fault"? I heard an interesting thing a few years ago regarding youth development abroad, namely Spain, and for me underlined a fundamental problem in English football. It went on to say that young players are encouraged to take chances and make difficult decisions... encouraged to think for themselves and try to do what they think is 'right'. If it doesn't work out, the mentality is to review it and try again. In England... if you make a mistake as a player (I've even heard slipping over being treated like this also!) you run the risk of castigation by thousands... and not just in the immediate aftermath... but for weeks, months and in some cases years. Your career can be defined by an honest mistake or a slip or you making the wrong choice. And that for me highlights why we should cherish the fact that this squad that we are seeing develop in front of us appear to continue to try and do 'the right things', despite obvious derision among some of our support. An inevitability of trying to 'play' football is that you increase the risk of a mistake (i.e. more time on the ball, greater endeavour to pass to a team-mate, ergo more opportunity for a mistake). I have never understood why people get so much joy at pointing their finger at 'the culprit' and satisfaction out of seeing others agonise over a mistake which could be perceived as letting their team-mates down. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone. I always thought you should build people up rather than knock them when they're low. Thankfully it would appear that our current squad and management team are immune to some of the thoughtless and stupid comments that some people are keen to air, and continue to do the things that has led them to receive the many plaudits that have come their way in the last 12 months. I understand what you're saying, but the castigation you talk of mainly comes from a very few posters on internet forums. At the games, most fans appreciate the fact that we try and play football from the back right through, so odd mistakes are quickly forgotten as the next move is usually sublime anyway!

turdburgler Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 eddies right.... a decent malt with have aboot 45%. you want to drop that to 35% or there abouts to get the flavours running through. o0o0oh Ardbeg o0o0ooh Laphroig. they'd go down well with kippers for breakfast I'm just getting into Whisky, tried with couple of spoons of tap water, then with 1 cube of ice. I think the ice made it more flavoursome. Should I go back to drinking VK ice or is my current path into whisky alcoholism the norm for a noooby?

VulcanRam Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 A Scottish malt should be drunk neat, no argument in my mind. Save your water and ice for the blended and Irish stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
