Confirmation.....he's a prick.

I got banned from JA606 because someone (Reebok Bricks if anybody's interested) complained about a comment I'd posted and the guy moderating the site was in the pub playing pool and because that was more important to him than looking into the complaint properly, he just slapped me with an IP ban there and then.

I can't imagine that happening on here and that's just one of the reasons why this is a far better site.

As for the swearing, yes I'm probably one of the biggest culprits and if my use of "colourful" language offends anybody......they can fuck off.

If you can't tolerate a bit of effing and jeffing, stay away from football......

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I thought the mods were bang out of order for banning you the way they did. If your job is to determine what is and isn't acceptable on a site you run and take money from advertisers for then you put your pint and your cue down and investigate things properly. It was incredibly unprofessional of the admin to even admit he'd banned you that way and from what I could see of your "feud" with Bricks it was obvious you'd caught him out and he was running like a little girl to complin because he/she/it didn't like being exposed as a liar.

Fair enough Peter, nothing wrong with that.

At the end of the day we all have our own take on things.  What some people see as being funny others may take as oafish or infantile comments, similarly some people look for detailed analytical discussion whilst others simply want to let off steam and give knee jerk reactions to all and sundry.

It's a bit like we are trying to please everyone from say the Times, Guardian and Telegraph readers through to the Sun, Mirror and even the Beano ones at the same time - we simply can't pull it off.

I personally don't like everything I read on here but then again I don't expect too.  If I modded the site to my own personal preferences, the the site would simply be frequented by others of a like mind to me - and that doesn't make for a good forum - we simply would be agreeing with each other all the time.

A forum needs diverse views and opinions imo.  It needs a mix of strong characters, humour, the unexpected and even the bizarre occasionally to go with the general concensus views of the majority of other posters.  A bit of a leg pull and a disagreement every now and again is also welcomed to liven things up.

At the end of the day we are all grown ups and I'm not here to tell people what they should and should not say on the forum - they are well aware of that themselves.

We try and let most things go and we seem to be doing ok so far, so once again I apologise if you think we haven't got the balance quite right as I think more people believe that we do.

What a load of old rubbish, we're all men on here aren't we? if a bit of swearing offends you, then I can't see how you're going to get through life tbh, Man up, grit your teeth and just get on with it.

There are enough ponce's in the world, without trying to turn this site into a ken and Barbie's little picnic.

The "new thing", by his own admission was trying two strikers up front.

If you don't believe me, look it up on the BBC I-Player.

He's a fucking idiot who has finally realised that playing one up front doesn't work and us un-football educated idiots have been right all along.

Fucking sack the clueless prick now, before he does any more damage.

Please........

Sorry but finally deciding to do what most of us have been demanding all season, ie playing two up top, does not make him a decent manager.

I've read a few comments on here today after the final whistle along the lines of "fair play, Doug - you got it right today and we looked good."

That's not the sign of a decent manager, it's just another indication that he's a clueless desperado who's fast running out of options.

So how come in Dougie's video interview when the Mason deal was signed he said "I've been waiting for this signing to go through so that I finally have the option of playing 2 strikers"?

What do you suppose he meant by that?


The way you're spinning it implies that he hadn't been planning to do it all along but just didn't have the quality of strikers to carry it off before. And clearly Eaves and Cavies are way too slow to partner Juke, and Odelusi still has plenty to prove (and has now been given the opportunity to prove it)

You make it sound as if he doesn't know what he's doing when all the evidence suggests he knows exactly what he's doing if you look at carefully enough.

Yer right Breadman, !!!!!!!! He is a 'PRICK'.

What Dougie tried yesterday was to play two strikers without a single wide player. The midfield was made up of Medo and Spearing, two players Bolton fans usually hate to see together, with Mark Davies and Pratley, a player Bolton fans just hate to see.
I suppose most people were too overjoyed at seeing two strikers on the teamsheet for once to care, but did nobody honestly think, what the fuck is that midfield about?
And you have to admit that it was only when Freedman was forced into amending it by replacing the injured Pratley with Danns, that the match started to swing our way.

Actually, we played two up front at Ewood earlier in the season, also with a central midfield of Medo, Spearing and Pratley, with Lee out wide and a big complaint if memory serves me well was that we lacked width amongst other things. We managed to create enough openings yesterday despite having nobody out there to cause problems down the flanks, but that would only be the case in a minority of games. It will be interesting to see whether he thinks the system he went with yesterday will be enough to beat Blackburn next week.

It will certainly be interesting to see, how we get on against Blackburn next Saturday, if we play the same formation in our 4-1 drubbing at Ewood.

Mears and Knight both played in that match, oh dear! We also played N'Gog and Beckford up front together, they aren't exactly the hardest working strikers are they?

Roll on next Saturday!

I hope those 6 fingers don't do the double over us!  I hope Dougie doesn't revert back to his old ways!

Of course it works nothing idiotic about it. Depends on the opposition and a shed load of other variables. Big Sam played it many a time, and it worked very well.?

Its knowing when to play the right formation that sorts the good from the bad. maybe it's this that lets DF down.

I've been saying this since the Little Sam days. Big Sam had and still has two massive attributes that no BWFC manager since has matched. And no I don't mean sphericals in his pants.   

One he can motivate players to perform at their best week in week out and even "troublesome" lads like Diouf and Anelka responded well to his leadership/.

Two he has an uncanny ability to adapt his approach to the opposition, playing to our strengths, negating theirs and doing it whether it's Manchester United or Torquay United. He has a grasp of tactics and strategy that make him the best English manager around at the moment in my opinion. 

We got a bit spoiled under Big Sam, he's so good that even an average manager was going to struggle to win us over but sadly Phil picked four consecutive clowns including the current incumbent which only made the situation even worse. 

DF is doing his best I am sure but his best isn't good enough. He has to rely on loan players too much for my liking and he has failed to motivate our own players for far too long. Not only that but he is generally tactically naive and too stubborn to change a non working system for far too long. It's been obvious to everyone for months that his setup was failing but he wouldn't change it. I admire a man who has the courage of his convictions but only to a point. DF passed that point and entered the realm of stupidity long ago. Gartside entered it the day he said "We got the better Sam".

Hi scott, I think you misunderstand me. I'm not saying we should never swear or that we should all be good little boys and girls at all times. I'm simply saying that I think there's too much of it and all too often it descends into silly personal insults when we're supposed to be talking about football and BWFC. 

Don't get me wrong, there are days when I want to turn the air blue with what I see and hear coming out of our beloved club but I just wish that on a lot of threads there was more talk about the supposed topic and less of the personal jibes which have nothing to do with anything but insulting each other.
