I imagine they both looked good in training ground pics tbf....I think you’re probably correct there... during our first and second seasons in the EPL, his recommendation to replace Elphick or Cook was DAVID WHEATER of Bolton!!! That was around the same time as putting forward Jamie Ward as a much needed ball winning midfielder... he’s a striker/winger!!! Some scout!
This underpins your complete and utter lack of football knowledge. I wouls suggest that you are one of these people who pay for a ticket and then do not actually watch the game.
This is why you are doing yourself no favours, absolutely no need to get personal.
Bang on! Reap what you sow and all that which I mentioned previously.This is why you are doing yourself no favours, absolutely no need to get personal.
Ah the difference is they didn’t call you a balloon head, numpty, sh*t scout they just questioned your supposed scouting skill set.This is rich isn't? The poster (neilo1077) makes a comment doubting my integrity as an assessor and you have the effrontary to acuse me of being persoanl for responding to the posters comment. The mind just boggles.

He might not use profanities but personal attacks on those that do not agree or point out failings usually follow.....
Would this be the ‘lack of football knowledge’ when you were bleating on about Jack Wilshere playing for us against Arsenal being a decision for the parent club whilst I, quite correctly, pointed out that it was league rules and that he couldn’t regardless? Just the tip of the iceberg with you though!This underpins your complete and utter lack of football knowledge. Jamie Ward often played in a mid-field role for Forest. He was beingtracked by a number of clubs at the time. Wheater was an accomplished centre half that could have done a job for us at the time and would fitted into our pricing structure at the time. I wouls suggest that you are one of these people who pay for a ticket and then do not actually watch the game.

Calm down Dear! And yes, I do doubt your scouting stories. It’s funny how, over the years, when we have won you would not post on the other forum,claiming that you were ‘assessing’. Miraculously, though, every time we lost you were commenting within minutes! As for 'football knowledge' or lack of, I don’t recall myself making the following statements...This is rich isn't?

I’m not lowering myself into an argument with you I have better things to be doing, I’m saying you are doing yourself no favours with personal comments such as the one you posted given your previous track record on here and the echo forum. There is absolutely no need for it.
Correct as in there is no need for it. But as per normal you have NOT retorted to (neilo1977) who was personal to me in the first place and so was the original aggrivator -- Will you say anything to him? -- No of course not! Imagine my surprise.
Thankyou. Would love to hear of your other incidents that you've experienced. I've had a few too with mates, we tended to call them jolly boys outings, mid and end of season jaunts. Lol. When we were in div1 and 2.One will always try to offer something positive, but there is always room for reality and realism when there is a need. This is what some posters will not accept. We have injury problems at the moment of which will always impact on results and performances. I fail to see why this cannot be commented on.
I am pleased you enjoyed my record of events from various grounds, there are many more I could recite, but as per normal there will be always be someone who will berate them.
I wish you well and yes it would be nice to get someting at Everton on Sunday.
Championship and promotion to the promised land I was in Oz.Thankyou. Would love to hear of your other incidents that you've experienced. I've had a few too with mates, we tended to call them jolly boys outings, mid and end of season jaunts. Lol. When we were in div1 and 2.
Exactly what we need imo....more tales of an imaginary football scout....Minty will get back to you with another hilarious escapade as soon as he thinks one up.Thankyou.

I apologise if so, which post where he makes personal comments to you are you referring to?
So, if I’m correct, disagreeing with your David Wheater and Jamie Ward recommendations is not allowed, and instead should be bowed down to?Post nr 79 on this thread at 10:20am (neilo1977)this morning where my integrity was being questioned by someone who does not know anything about football assessing. I merely repsonded to it.
