Harte is Rubbish, not good enough for the Championship

[Royal With Cheese]

It’s hard for the ref and Harty has got a mark on his ankle that could have been serious.

How would the ref know that without getting Harte to take his pigging stocking off?

Have aliens landed? Do you need a translation, really?

It’s hard for the ref who only has a split-second to decide, and the challenge looked over the top and the player looked hurt

SEPARATE PART

After the game Harty took his socks off and I saw the damage Harty has got a mark on his ankle that could have been serious


You people absolutely amaze me. And that is not a compliment.

So - you're now embellishing (at worst) or paraphrasing (at best) someone else's quote to backup your point of view?

Look - you have your opinion. It's different from other peoples. You've explained your position eloquently, forcefully and repeatedly.

I think he exaggerated his injury. You don't. Nothing you have posted has made me change my opinion. As your opinion and my opinion are different we will have to agree to disagree. That's the way grown up's do things.

I'm not intending to post on this matter any more. Good luck and all that.

It's not "embellishing". You acted as if you were too dumb to understand that the quote combined two separate perspectives.

I very kindly explained, by an imagined example, like a father might do to a small child.

Unless you really DO think, Harty took his sock off after the game TO SHOW THE REF.

[Victor Meldrew]

Presumably after that career-threatening injury Harte will now be out for the rest of the season.
No such luck he'll be there at Vicarage Road out for his normal Saturday afternoon stroll watching everbody else run around until there is afree-kick or a corner.
Great work if you can get it.

If he scores the winning goal he can sh!t in the centre-circle for all I care

I love the way our two top-scorers (Hunt, Harte) get lambasted followed closely by the top assister (Howard)

Perhaps they are just Hated because they all start with the letter "H"and all come across as obnoxious.
Is there such a word as "assister"?
BTW I would rather none of our players defacate on the pitch even if we do win.

[Snowball]

I guarantee that nobody in Reading will defacate anywhere for the rest of 2010.

Harte hit the bar in my dream 6-1 win at Watford. Does that count?

No

Fergy was at the game watching Long, offered 9 mill for him. Can I have that?

The only Fergy likely to do that is Sarah Ferguson.

FFS Snowball, can't you ever accept that not everyone agrees with everything you say all the frigging time? And how about you cut the patronising condescending insults. You are 63? Start behaving like it then instead of like a spoilt brat.

He only got a half today as apparently a strain made him even slower than usual!

In the first half he did produce a superb ball to Long in the lead up to the goal but his dead ball delivery was pretty dire. Armstrong came on and looked far more comfortable as a left back. Afterall, the first requirement in that role is to be able to defend well! Everything else comes as a bonus but is no substitute for defensive ability.

[Victor Meldrew]

So in Snowball's statty world that's a 100% defensive clean sheet record this season when Armstrong has played at left-back.
I doubt that this record will continue for the whole of the remaing part of this season but it is a good start (I see Peterboro shipped another 4 today with Brian's other poor signing playing?).
Welcome back Chris,our no.1 left-back,and hopefully you will make the position your own for the rest of the season and beyond.

I meant what I said, quite literally. It was NOT an insult. Note I said YOU ACTED AS IF you were too dumb to understand.

I didn't realise it was Hartey!! Even better

So our two most-maligned players combine to set up our only goal.

I've already praised Stretch and said much the same on another thread.

But he wasn't exactly comfortable for his first 15 minutes

According to the Beeb "undefined De Laet" was playing for Preston. Must be a first appearance for an amorphous player in this division.

Slid in with a great challenge to hammer the ball out of play the first time their speedy man tried to break free down their right wing.

Did get turned later on but showed enough pace to turn and hastle the player continuously as he tried to break towards goal, causing him to take a poor touch and allowing Mills to get across and tidy up. Sadly Harte would have been left for dead in such a situation. He has also shown that he is liable to be turned in a similar manner.
