I’ve literally said how well Lindsay has done, how well Storey has done, how Robbie Brady is a top player in this division amongst a host of other stuff. I also said Riis had a shocker today, and I will also reiterate that Ryan Ledsons entirely unnecessary long passing today was shit. Because it was. Can’t remember him finding a man once with a pass over 10 yards. It’s not about glass half full it’s about a football match that naturally has infinite variables and those variables naturally become talking points, which I would’ve thought on a forum about football would have been okay to discuss. I commented on the football, you told me to give it a rest? Offer a rebuttal on the football or something mate, I thought that’s what this existed for.
The content police on the matchday thread do get a bit tedious.
The thread isn't here for predicting the outcome - the Prediction League is here for that. So no one's "fickle" and there's no "humble pie" to be served at full time if (for example) a player who plays shit in the first half (and people say so) plays better in the second half.
And it's not here so we can relentlessly glass-half-full happy-clap the lads to victory either - because the lads aren't reading it. If you want to do that, you need to go to the game.
The MDT is here for people to post their visceral, minute-by-minute thoughts on the game in real-time, good or bad, positive or negative, as the game is ongoing. So that when it's read through later, it paints a picture of how the match actually went, according to a lot of different, conflicting voices, not just the voice the content police would prefer.
