Ah, Facebook. Where the intelligence levels are similar to those of a fortnight old cauliflower. I got shut of that social networking disease a while back. It was ok in the early days as a way of keeping in touch but the last few years have seen it become a breeding ground for people with very little between the ears. When I read a thread with multiple 'fans' wishing for players to have career ending injuries I knew we were dealing with a totally different beast.

Amen to that. The thinking man's social networking. 140 characters is a great damage limiter! |

| Quote: newgroundb4wakey "You could describe Alf Ramsey as astonishingly ordinary. In fact you could describe most of this years super league coaches as astonishingly ordinary. Why would you actually remember an occasion when you met some one if they were astonishingly ordinary, or are you just making it up to justify your post. Some of the greatest RL coaches ever have been astonishingly ordinary and long may it continue, its what sets this great game apart from lesser sports. Cas were astonishingly ordinary tonight. ![]()
I didn't say it was wrong so off the horse please. I said he didn't strike me as a leader of men, I can only say it as I saw it at the time - which explains why I remain slightly unconvinced now, not that Powell cares in the least.
As for great RL coaches being ordinary - sorry but no. Of the ones I've met and I can't claim to be friends with any none were as ordinary as Powell - who incidentally I remember because he was so "ordinary" why wouldn't I? I don't mix with these people every day.
So, of those I've met…
Kear was educated and charismatic.
Mal Reilly was quite and polite but still strangely menacing.
Peter Fox was a force of nature and a legend in his own mind.
Graham Murray, an affable Aussie who made you like him.
Powell, just none of the above.
As for Ramsey how the heck do you make that out, the man was a harsh disciplinarian and ruthless team selector. And that came across in his eccentric almost Edwardian manner that most certainly wasn't the norm even in 1966, he was an oddball.

Ok, I think this thread has had the chance to make a point. I'll end it here.
