Anyone had a read my favorite part is:

"We definitely are trying to score, we want to get those goals but they are just not falling for us at the minute, there's always something getting in the way"

The goalkeeper?

"Myself and Boydy have the pace of Usain Bolt" clappp

At least he's got a sense of humour. Shame about his goalscoring ability.

And so it begins..... :roll:

Tell the players you hate them, you think they're useless and ridicule their attempts to contact the fans.

That'll help. That's why I packed in, for every diamond I read about, there's ten dog turds. How many can say 'I have...' instead of "I want...'

You've got your team, what are you doing about getting a better one? Leaving en masse from what I understand....

Fair play to you, you'll reap what you sow. stpid

Well said kev, I wonder why people go on and on and on and Ariston, about how shit players/managers/ owners/ every fookin thing is long before we even get to the shiit stage.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM... state the problem, justify your thought process and repeat when necessary, but the constant repetetive personal insults are just embarassing.
I don't imagine any of the above want a crap season.... and they probably aren't good enough, but lets stop it getting so personal.

But Kev hasn't left Pools, he's just differently located.

En masse, me??

I'm a bit short of an exodus...

It was hardly last week...... confised

Last time I went they won 2-0 at Bristol Rovers and got promoted at the end of the season. Game before, Mr I got in for a fiver at Notts County by pleading he was under 16 and he never gave me the the fiver back, the cheap get. I wrote 'I have three laptop computers in this van, please steal them,' on his back doors.

That was when it was fun. :roll:

Now it reads like purgatory. :roll:

But what would I know?? I don't go do I?? confised

Therefore I'm not involved in the outraged and angry sweepstakes am I??

Well said Kev, and Snowy.

Its getting beyond tedius now.

Denis Behan is actually a decent bloke, with a sense of humour.

Unlike most on here. :roll:

I don't go to pools every week to watch decent blokes.
I also don't find any of the comments personal.
Mind, if he doesn't start putting in a decent shift then there'll be plenty of ammo for the fans.
If he's going to write a blog he needs to stop writing shite.
Honestly, he can't really complain if he is barracked can he!!

WestParkPoolie · **Posted:** Tue Mar 02, 2010 7:02 pm

Footballers should be judged on their ability and attitude on the pitch, and I couldn't care less if they are lovely people. Based on what I've seen, Behan's performances have got worse since the start of the season - tell me I'm wrong. I saw good things in Behan's game in August, he held the ball up well and was a nuisance to the opposition - but that seems to have disappeared completely from his game as time as gone on.

He has to shoulder some of that blame, as should Turner, whose job it is to motivate & improve all the players at the club. It is good that players & the club are more open to the fans, but both parties need to be honest - not just bland propaganda.

I want the players to succeed; I'd like Turner to prove us wrong; and I'll keep going to the games and supporting them - but they need to step up to the plate each and EVERY game - not every 4 or five games, or when we play the big teams. They CAN do it; they have to BELIEVE they can do it, we KNOW they can do it.

Now just DO it... rolf

Yew, Nike. :uhoh:

We have one here, Li Ning (yeah, leaning), the bloke that ran around the inside wall of the Olympic Stadium to light the torch, his sports clothes business, and theirs is 361 degrees.

Thats not possible either... :wink:

Thats possibly what's wrong with the game in general.

The serial shagging England Captain has just been replaced by someone else who knocked a bloke's teeth out in some grubby night club cos he wouldn't play the song he wanted, in self defence.

But they've got ability and a good attitude on the pitch like.

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Tue Mar 02, 2010 7:38 pm

I've enjoyed reading his blogs this season, just because he's not playing as well should he not do one!?

I'm sure it's not the lads intention not to play well, mind if your reading Denis I wasn't impressed wih your workrate against Huddersfield :laugh:

Believe or not, but my comment wasn't meant as a criticism, it was supposed to say 'he's still a supporter despite being on the other side of the planet'.

I'm not saying people can't criticise, you can, .... my gripe is the nasty repetetive personal abuse that certain people descend to ... constructive criticism great, abusive tirades sad.

Gibsons Beard · **Posted:** Tue Mar 02, 2010 8:35 pm

I like his attitide and he clearly has a sense of humour but as a player I dont think he is league 1 standard.

I phrased that badly, didn't I! sadx

Meant to say that their personality off the pitch shouldn't really be a get out for performing poorly on it.

You may well be right.

But surely its only reasonable to see what he is like after he gets the summer off, and comes back after a full preseason?

Lets face it, even after playing 4,567,434 games some still said Matty Robson deserves more time......infact now he has gone, some are still hailing him as the mesiah lost.

A bit of patience with Behan wouldnt be a bad thing.

a fair point i think. if he could start next season in the manner he started this one and maintain it, he would behan asset (see what i did there!!).

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:54 am

maybe the start of the season was trying to win over the fans. He may have been fitter than most at the start, but his 1st touch was immaculate as was his vision when laying off the ball.

Maybe its an attitude problem with him?

maybe he needs a kick up the arse.

Him & browny vs Oldham away were excellent. He obviosuly has it in his locker...

Would it be easier if Dibble just gave us a list of players we are allowed to slag off and those we're not and also when we're allowed to as I struggle to keep up with his hypocritical stances.
