Thing is i actually think the players are giving 100%.
It sometimes comes across that they aren't simply because of the fact the majority are out of there depth playing this High up the Football Pyramid.
Let's not forget were they come from.
I could go to the Rec n Grayfields and pick a better starting 11.
When our keeper n Centre Forward who aint nothing special are man of match most weeks tells u the reason why we are were we are
Miracle required.
Saving grace looks like the lowest points total of about 40 will be enough.
:angry-tappingfoot:


Agree that lack of effort isn't usually an issue, though most the fight had gone out of the team by the back end of the game on Saturday. Same goes for the fans - I'd seen enough after the 4th goal went in.

Agree too that a lot are out of their depth in League 2. Pools will be fine if Curle can find another 10 who are as "nothing special" at their job as Umerah - but he won't find them at the Rec or Grayfields. If any of those lads could earn even part of a living playing football they'd already be doing it! :wink:


The Rec/Grays players wont take the pay cuts of factory work n selling Coke n Cannibis to play for Pools.
:text-nocomment: :text-lol:

I believe Curle knows which players are just not good enough and has said so many times. What’s the point of putting them on transfer list nobody will want them. Just tell them they are free to go and hope they get fixed up in the Scottish Highland league, because they’ll not leave without at least a pay off.

thats the problem. would raj be prepared just to pay em off for getting the club in the mess they have. more money spent there may meen less to spend on better replacements. the whole thing is a shit show where a minor miracle may be needed.

The problem is that we are only allowed a certain number of players in the squad and as is likely a number of the unwanted players hang on in order to keep getting paid, it may be a problem making room for new faces. Who knows. Maybe KC has had a word with some of them and suggested they look for alternative employment. We know KC is trying to return the Sunderland loanee.

He's already said that he is. Can think of a few who might prefer an easier life with a middling NL side with ambition over a relegation battle with Pools. A lot of our players can play a bit of football as long as the opposition lets them.

Is football the only industry where you can’t be sacked for being shit at your job?

Dunno about that. Depends what you mean by "shit", it is a very subjective term when talking about footballers. Quite a few times on here we'll have one forum member insisting player x is shit while another poster will insist player x isnt shit he's carrying an injury or his budgie has just died. In pro football as in most other jobs, if you sign a contract for a specified period of time and go through the motions you will normally be ok as long as you don't draw attention to yourself. I think this is true of the majority of jobs these days.

MPs are up for re election at least every five years and sometimes shorter than that, so we can get shot of them. Ultimately it is the electorate who decide on who becomes a tosser. I do agree on the tossers who form the collective opposition though. These are the people who get paid good money for not doing a job other than criticising the people supposedly trying to do one. Some of them will never get into power or Government and can spend decades sat on the opposition benches without any responsibility of note. I suppose the tossers who actually vote for them need a good coat of scrutiny as well.
Then there's the self appointed tossers who are actually paid for by us licence payers who get paid even more money to sit in judgement of the other tossers to which we both refer.
There's a whole lotta tossing going on.

I have to slightly disagree Mr D. as the electorate don't have the choice who is selected by their party.

My MP is Chris Pincher ex Conservative now Independent after losing the whip for inappropriate behaviour. Still clinging on although the vast majority of people of Tamworth want rid.

The electorate select the party, the party select the leader and the leader selects the cabinet etc, this is true but the important bit is the electorate because without their support the other two are opposition.
The actual MP is selected by the party system ( local associations etc) but the electorate in each constituency have the final say who they send to Parliament.

The people of Tamworth will get the opportunity to get rid in due course but, in my opinion and it is only an opinion, when the circumstances you describe occur there should be a bye election because, although some people would have voted for the man, others would have voted for the party and he no longer represents the party.

Am I correct in assuming you didn't vote for him?? :laugh:

As a matter of interest do you think the Tories will lose it next time?

There has been some infighting within the local Conservative Party Councillors whereby 6 have left the party and formed their own group called Independent Future. They are now the largest opposition to the ruling Conservatives. The feeling within the town is that Chris Pincher should resign before the date of the next general election.

PS Put an X against the Labour candidate in last election, more so because the previous Labour MP, Brian Jenkins, had many years ago helped with getting £30k to enable my local club erect floodlights (Not Tamworth FC by the way but Bolehall Swifts)

they can be sacked if they break the conditions of their contract. however all they really need to do is follow theur contract to the letter and go through the motions. many playets get accused of not trying but if you speak to them they,ll tell you about the shift they put in even if some of their team mates agree with the fans. always said many pro footballers do not deserve the job where others would give their right leg for the chance.
