Relegation Watch

None. Probably more likely because it’s a pointless observation. If you could be bothered to look there would be literally hundreds of examples in any given season where if so and so hadn’t have hit the bar, or he hadn’t hit the post, or that bloke hadn’t have missed an open goal or penalty the result and table would’ve been different. Many affecting relegation/promotion. Whilst factually accurate all are a bit irrelevant, basically if my auntie had bòllocks she’d be my uncle. Still whatever makes you happy.

So you've never heard the saying, turning point, or if you have you don't think they exist? All bollocks eh?

Yep I’ve heard the term, it’s just that there are hundreds in any given division over the course of a season. However, one has the option to focus on just one to make a point. I’m just highlighting the fact that it’s a bit of an irrelevance.

I actually fall firmly into the "what if" category. Generally I'm a lot more likely to deal with what's in front of me. But when it comes to my football, I do look back on the season and imagine what would of happened had we done something different. I don't see any harm in debating the potential outcomes, as much as the actuals. After all, the longer thread on this forum remains speculative to say the least. And there those that willingly contribute to with out any idea of what has sometimes happened, and of course what will.

Perfectly understandable Tel and why not, that's your prerogative. Marvo is a bit different though, for him its like a dictatorial state on here, there is zero tolerance of anybody that has the temerity to disagree with one of his minority viewpoints.

Hello Mr Pot, let me introduce Mr Kettle.

Oh and just to be clear, which minority viewpoint is this? You said you didn't disagree with anything I'd said not but just 5 pots ago.

I disagree with your view that its a like totalitarian state on here because the people who responded to your post thought the Hoskins penalty miss wasn't much of an indication of anything. I happen to agree with them for the reasons I explained, you seem to be struggling to get over it though?

So basically, you are refuting the concept of regret - and therefore by default, saying you have never regretted anything in your life.
If that is the case, you are not telling the truth...bit like your place of abode seemingly!

Are you having a go at me again? The way you’re carrying on we’ll have to start calling you Hotpussy

No I'm fine. I think the penalty miss cost us at least 1 point, more than likely 3. We could end this season 21st, 5 pts adrift of Shrewsbury. The swing from losing at Shrewsbury to winning is 6pts. If the penalty had gone in, we'd be 13th now. That's quite possibly the highest position we could hope for this season and one that almost everybody would be happy with, including I'd imagine the Chairman, manager and players, let alone us the supporters. You disagree with all of that. That's cool.

Fcuking hell you’re bleating like a stuffed koala, you and your like have been bullying Beds for years.
How’s the weather in Melbourne 😂😂😂😂

Jesus now Guesswork’s turned up, I’m taking a standing 8 count, Deepcut where are you?

The sooner you accept that Hoskins inability to score that penalty has cost us a nailed on mid-table position (and probable promotion push) the sooner everyone can move on. Forget his other goals, unless they are the only goals or ones that secured any points they are irrelevant. His goal at Exeter looked really important, until Brough ruled that one out in the last minute. Hoskins should be suitably ashamed of himself.

Either that or you can keep getting bullied.

If it was another quartet I might start doubting myself but let’s be honest, we won’t be seeing this lot make up a 4 on University Challenge anytime soon will we?

Charming. So you bring up bullying but then start insulting the intelligence of your fellow supporters instead of sticking to the debate.

Also, if I'm in such a minority, how do I become the bully?

Note: You may be right, I never went to university so wouldn't qualify.

He's not saying he doesn't have any regrets about things not going our way. He's basically saying there are a lot of examples where things go for or against a team in a season. Hoskins missing a penalty is a prime example of something that went against us. The simple fact is Marvo doesn't like Hoskins and has highlighted his miss. I look forward to his opinions on all the others that have cost us.. Brough is a good example

It won't be Melbourne. I'm rarely 10% right.

Thank goodness, I had a terrible feeling I was having some sort of episode?
