| Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "Now now don’t throw an hissy fit because someone dares to question your blind loyalty. This even includes the floodlight which the majority said was dark but not good old Vastman who saw nothing wrong.
I can’t believe you are resorting to the why don’t you go and support whoever and you want them to take more with them. I don’t think that sort of attitude will endear you to the club, after all they need the income. If this outlook was applied to every negative voice on match day you would be one lonely individual.'"
Is that what it is nice try.
As per floodlights, no I didn’t but I’m absolutely certain the moment somebody else mentioned it you did. Just a thought.

It was a genuine question, one which hasn't been repeated before by myself therefore it's never been answered before, so your worry is needless and unfounded, thanks for the concern

He wasn't even at the game, yet he can still find time for a sarcastic comment.

| How do you know I wasn’t at the game or do you go around the ground trying to find someone who will talk to you and I wasn’t where you expected me to be.

That’s strange so it was not you who posted that the lightning looked okay to you. I think someone must be using your account to post.

Don't you find it a little absurd that I would go round the ground looking for someone to talk to me about you? when only a couple of people who have actually heard of you never mind seen you, might I just remind you, you are after all the scarlet pimpernel.
Fwiw it was your golfing mate what said you weren't there if that helps, he also mentioned you'd got a new gnome for the front garden and you now call it de Pfeffel.

Why?
It did look ok to me so yes I did post that, I'll post it a thousand times if you'd like. I'm not disputing others saw it differently, I'm saying from where I stood it looked ok, why is that a difficult concept. Look up the word 'perception', my perception on the night was that things looked OK. On the SKY coverage, it looks iffy, but that's irrelevant to what I say and saw perfectly well on the night at the ground.
Would you like to borrow my glasses, although as I suspect you only saw the event on the TV they won't help?

| It's all about subjective values.
He's an extremely capable utility player and a good asset to have, for that reason. The club has a certain valuation of him, I presume, which doesn't match his own or those closest to him. It doesn't mean either is wrong, as the Wakey value is affected by the ability to pay, whereas other clubs may have more room on the cap or the till to offer him what he feels is his market value.
His market value might be worth more than what we were prepared to pay, if there was to be a discussion, and Cas might pay it. Good luck to Rocky. I'd have been happy for him to remain at Wakey, provided it didn't affect the ability to pay for quality in the whole team.
I think some rate higher than any employer ever has done, but he's certainly good enough to be re-signed, subject to price. He isn't, however, the next Topliss, and never was.

I don't think he's the new Toppo (or I 99.999% doubt it) or even the new Miller/Lino/Gaskell but I'd be delighted if he proved me wrong and he still has the time left, who knows.
What I do know is he no longer plays for us and there will be a good reason for that, though I'm not going to speculate on what. I mean do people really think the club lets players go who they think can do the job they want doing, especially those NOBODY else was the least bit interested in? Poaching has put together a squad that he thinks is right for his methods, why anyone feels the need to complain baffles me. He will make mistakes and has done already but overall he's seemed pretty competent to me so far.
I support only players in the RWB, when they go elsewhere they are not my concern.
Finally, as MC continually points out, we stopped being a selling club years ago and in that time not one single player has come back to bite our bums and even if they did, so what, all clubs let players go who do well elsewhere, our team is full of them.

No, he isn't. He's a fitter more versatile player perhaps but he'll never run a game.
Really, like who?

| Gaskell has chronic injuries to two of the three hamstring muscles, can’t be fixed only nursed along but he’ll suffer trouble with it throughout. We knew this, Huddersfield were very candid about it, but we signed him anyway and crossed our fingers that he’d play enough to justify it.
Hopefully he will as when he strings a few games together he’s very good.

So to avoid that then we never let a player go?
Come on, he’s a decent player but he’s not an Ellis or Solomona.
I don't think we need to make any kind of issue out of this, teams and clubs move on.
Personally, I’m happy for the lad.'"

Yeah wishing him all the best is really bitter and twisted. Try reading the posts before talking garbage.
