Day Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 "Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes." I searching for a Brian Clough quote for another thread and stumbled on this gem which made me think about the Wassall. Does anyone disagree with Brian Clough, how good are we all at dominoes and are we maybe being a touch harsh on Wassall for recent games using Rotherham and Cardiff as examples?

SaintRam Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm not sure I remember how to play dominoes. You have to place a number next to the same number until you've gotten rid of all of your pieces, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I can make two dominos disappear in a single sitting if that counts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 The first bit says "players lose you games". At Rotherham, the players we were left with on the pitch after the subs lost us the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kevin Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Un-balanced sides lose you games , also there are 22 players and the game is 90 minutes long . If they all had equal share of time with the ball its only roughly four minutes, so its probably more important what you do without the ball as when you are in possession .

Prefer Papa Johns mesen Papa Johns is the best chain pizza in Derby, does change when you move around though. Plus, loyalty points. The crown jewels of the capitalist society.

I once went into the editor and put the 16 best players in the world (in my opinion) at (then non-league) Burton, made them super happy etc. as you can do in the editor. Started the season, went on holiday til it finished. They finished 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the period they were in the conference. EDIT: thinking about it I might be misremembering the final position a little, but they certainly didn't get promoted. I uninstalled the game in disgust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I used the editor quite a bit. Put my self at Burton and a few other players like veron etc. 2-3 seasons later they was all unhappy and not being sold and left on frees.. Not good. I play spiderman dominos with my son if that helps? Put 2 spiders to 2 spiders etc last one with no cards wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
