Imagine if Clemence was just starting is career in today’s age of football forums, conceding 14 goals in his first 5 starts including letting 7 in against our biggest rivals, the questions that would have been asked of the wisdom of the chairman and manager of playing a young inexperienced 17 year old in a division higher than now,a lot of posters would have hung him out to dry especially if it was Swanny in charge.It is what it is now and there’s no going back,but it was a lot nicer when just had the scunny telegraph every night for news on scunny and the conversations at work and the pub.
And racing up to Britania Corner on a Saturday night at half six to get the sports edition with all the results and match reports.
Messrs Empson and Belton only got stick when sat in the directors box on match day.
How times have changed.
Social media platforms are both good and bad, good we can express our opinions early and enter into debate with our fellow players but bad when abused in the way the orange faced idiot abroad is using it now. Good and bad, positive and dangerous, the wonderful world of social media.
Because this IS the age of the football forum Deerey, I am not trying to excuse myself, we can all reflect and ask ourselves are we been fair, plus at the end of the day I hope most is banter and if it offends, people shouldn’t be on a forum like ours, I guess I must have touched a raw nerve with you,but if the cap fits wear it.
You didn’t touch a raw nerve. I have rarely slagged off players on here. Plenty have, but that’s their prerogative. I just notice how you try and find any opportunity to criticise fellow supporters. Seems to be an obsession.
No more an obsession than those who criticize Swanny,managers and players. You must admit the OP would be right, ps have you ever said anything positive about my posts lol.
Conceding 14 goals in his first 5 matches. There is an assumption that all 14 goals were his fault with no knowledge of how many saves he made to keep the total below 14. Clearly didn’t put him, the manager or Liverpool off too much. The other factor is the same team played in nearly every match, whatever the results were.
Come on do your homework we won 2 of them games. I wasn’t referring to him, the manager or Liverpools wisdom I would expect they could see past them goals and what a prospect he was, But some of the posters on here wouldn’t so a little honesty wouldn’t go amiss.
