Ryan Harley or Donald Trump in midfield. Discuss.

[TSANHO]

Apparantly played 3 games in the NL/s in 2021/22 for Bath City. Could we call upon his services to help us out a little in the next few cup games to keep other players out of the firing line.

Only 38. Knows our system and style of play…..good leader on the pitch, lots of experience. Unless he is totally shot I’m a bit surprised he hasn’t been mentioned!

Bomb, and his coaching would never be taken quite as seriously again.
There have been about 20 other better suggestions than this so far.

I think you’re wrong. There have certainly not been 20 better suggestions at all, maybe it’s just because I’ve suggested it?

I’ve seen Baldwin being mentioned, even Cameron and Brindley to slip into midfield. Based on literally zero performances in that position other than opinions of people like you who think they are modern day Paulo Maldini’s. Sam Austin has already proved to be too weak in that position for L2. Jones would be the best bet to fit in alongside Bostock, when fit. Randall is made of cheese and won’t stand up to the challenge. The owners aren’t going to sign anyone in a panic buy, thank god, and even if they did they could take weeks to learn our style of play. Tipton he played what, one game for us….in defence, he must be a better bet then 👌

What’re your other options? You come across very arrogant and dismissive of anyone who doesn’t think Cameron and Baldwin are our best players.

[Proactive not Reactive]

Apart from new players coming in I think LW will alternate between Tipton,Austin and JOB

[Elite_Pie]

Enlighten me, what are these 20 better suggestions?

Here's one, maybe we could sign Jim Davidson to play alongside him.

The Harley-Davidson partnership should give us a bit of power in midfield.

Most likely. And there's Tsanho's starter for 4

Ryan Harley! Classic XD

If their timings off they could easily mis-fire.


I suppose the first question that needs to be asked is Harley registered as a player? Even if he is, prob not a good idea.

I think he is only ever right out on the far right

That’s asking a 38 year old that hasn’t played for years to get up to the fitness levels required in this league. There’s absolutely no chance he would get even close.
We’ve seen how ‘off the pace’ players are when they’re still training but not playing matches. He’s not even trained!
I think you’re massively underestimating the level that these guys operate at!

[maddogslater]

Yes after thinking about it is a stupid suggestion, tiptoe and Jim the invincible will start today

[countygump]

It might be worth considering if the only alternative was Harry Arter, (Magna Carta, what a farter, total non starter) coming back for a game. But it would be close. XD

[TSANHO]

Some folk need to calm down a bit. It was a suggestion that he could fill in during the cup games. Who knows that he doesn’t train…..go back to a LW interview where he said himself Harley could easily play, and still trains.

Still waiting to hear the 20 better options…..I’ll wait.

I'm not going to do your work for you. Just read the Matty Palmer and other threads to see at least 20 posters who came up with better ideas than the ridiculous suggestion of playing our coach Ryan Harley :)

Nobody has agreed with you and many have shot it down. You're going to have to take a L on this one. But maybe you can use it as an excuse for your weekly call to move to a back four ;)

Eh? I have to prove someone else’s suggestion that there are 20 other better options than my casual possible suggestion of trying Ryan Harley….that makes about as much sense as your match ratings 😂

Look, I’m not saying he’s the perfect answer, but a possible solution in bolstering numbers. I’ve countered the arguments for some of the perceived and, at the moment, mystery 20 better options….so I’ll wait for your other 15 or so other better alternatives. Just because you (who thinks Cameron is the best player in the team) and others think it’s not a good idea doesn’t make it a bad idea. Boris Johnson and Donald trump were brought into power by people like you lot.

Didn't you say something about 'some folk need to calm down'? ;)

I get it, you're angry and embarrassed. You've made a fool of yourself. But you're just talking nonsense now bringing in our captain, Trump and Johnson from absolutely nowhere. Are those last two suggestions for our midfield too? Lol

Better you just follow the game

I think a word from the mods is in order.

The mods wouldn't want anyone to think there was any kind of lambretta against them

I was referring to your tendency to always bring what everyone else thinks when deciding whether something is right or wrong, like numbers on your side of thinking means you are correct….I used Trump and Johnson as populist examples to illustrate how lop sided your logic is that just because three or four people agree with you on here that my suggestion is wrong…..and I am now angry and embarrassed at being made a fool of. I just see it as a desperate way to get people to side with you….a bit like a school playground bullying ring.

Alas, Message boards aren’t a massive part of my life, thankfully, and learned long ago to not get caught up in the generally mentality of football message boards in particular. I stand by suggesting that adding Harley to the ranks whilst suffering from a hellish injury crisis wouldn’t be a stupid idea…regardless of what some may think. I also still think Cameron doesn’t have the vision, strength or football intelligence to be a top defender at this level, I hope he changes my mind.

Regarding your comment about me requesting a change to a back four every week. I’ve been a massive advocate of LW, his team selections and our system as a whole. I love the way we play. I remember the ways of Thompson, Mills, Gudjon, and Nolan only too well. If I’ve suggested that a back four would, in some instances, sure up our leaky defence I can’t see the problem with that, and would still stand by that I think. With the players we have I think we could still play our fluid football whilst being stronger at the back……but to suggest I say I say that every week is nonsense.

Couldn’t follow todays game unfortunately, I was otherwise engaged.

[Elite_Pie]

Must admit that on Tuesday I'd select the tea ladies in defence, Harley and Williams in midfield, and Mark Stallard and Les Bradd up front.

What's wrong with Donald Trump?

[Notts78]

I’d get the suggestion if said coach was playing at a higher level… but no… it’s 2 levels below and 2 years ago. Might as well play me… still paying Vets football

[i961pie]

What's wrong with Donald Trump?

There isn’t enough space on the board to answer that question.😜

[Magpies1959]

There were no wars under Trump just sayin'.

[maddogslater]

War in Europe, war in the Middle East, Taiwan next 🤔 sleepy Joe doing a great job, the woke people must be delighted.

[SmiffyPie]

There were no wars under Trump just sayin'.There was nothing good about Trump. And to turn the US inwards was a massive bonus for all the rogue states/leaders and a threat to us all. And to think there is a possibility he may be elected again ffs!!

[frenchmagpie]

I'm sure the people of Yemen, Syria, Sahel region, Ethiopia and many other places that don't appear on the gammon map of the world will be delighted to hear that.
In the meantime Trump gave the green light to Putin, Netanyahu and China with weak foreign policy and wrecked the moderate-ish government in Iran with sanctions and led to the current extreme government. As well as destroying US democracy.

So wins all round then.

[frenchmagpie]

War in Europe, war in the Middle East, Taiwan next �� sleepy Joe doing a great job, the woke people must be delighted.

All because of Trump's weak foreign policy. The man is incompetant to lead a real estate company let alone a country !

[the_anticlough]

There is no sane pathway from playing Ryan Harley to blathering on about Trump and Johnson

Got it. Stand by playing Ryan Harley all you want. But if you post it, expect some disagreement. Your first reply was way too paranoid and defensive


I also still think Cameron doesn’t have the vision, strength or football intelligence to be a top defender at this level, I hope he changes my mind.
.

I have no idea why you keep bringing up Kyle Cameron, out of nowhere, on your own thread about playing Ryan Harley in midfield. But any excuse to have a dig at the captain I suppose, talk about catching strays.... :)



Regarding your comment about me requesting a change to a back four every week. … to suggest I say I say that every week is nonsense.

If we divide the number of times you've called for a Back 4 by the number of weeks of the season so far, the answer would be somewhere around 1.0

[LaxtonLad]

There was nothing good about Trump. And to turn the US inwards was a massive bonus for all the rogue states/leaders and a threat to us all. And to think there is a possibility he may be elected again ffs!!

60,000,000 Americans voted Trump in in 2016, all falling for the MAGA message. He had a weak campaign too. Now he has massive backing from the most powerful and influential people in the land, all knowing what a crook he is. They don't give a toss about whether Trump has a foreign policy or not, nor what his ideas for the American people is, all they believe in is The Mighty Dollar. They know too that promising wealth for the less intelligent (read - your average American dreamer) will have a bigger pull than any concern for the future of the less fortunate in their country or in any other.

I despair for a country whose education system allows 40% of it's population to believe the Earth is less than 6,000 years old. How can you expect people who think that their ignorance is as good as your knowledge to vote responsibly?

[Magpies1959]

Puts in all into perspective when Trump allegedly fondles womens bums, and is seen as the devil by millions, and a terrorist group that decapitate babies have massive support. We are beginning to reap what the left have sewn.

[Kent Magpie]

I don't see much, if any support for Hamas, but a lot of support for ordinary Palestinians who have to endure Hamas on one side and the IDF on the other. One thing I have noticed about o friends out on the far right of politics, is an ability to reduce everything down into a simple us vs them... you support Israel or you hate Jews and love Hamas. You hate all refugees or you are a lefty woke supporter of murders and drug dealers etc. Life is much more complex.

Trump is a crook, he is a *** offender (as he admitted himself - the famous ***** grabbing quote for those that are hard of thinking) and anti-democratic. He is a real danger to the world, and if he wins will likely make sure there are no further fair elections going forward. That is for the US to sort out.

Hamas are a despicable organisation employing horrific tactics to push their agenda. They routinely commit war crimes and should be hunted down and held to account.

The IDF are at best careless, at worst committing war crimes left right and centre. They are supposed to be part of a legitimate government and so have different responsibilities. Does it make their job more difficult, of course, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try. Right now they appear to be running amok. The perpetrators of these war crimes should also be routed out and held to account. You can't justify one set of war crimes based on war crimes committed by your opponent.

You see... it isn't a binary decision, it isn't a zero sum game. All three can be despicable people / organisations.

[Magpies1959]

These ceasefire protestors are so peaceful they attack anyone with Israeli flags or posters saying Hamas are terrorists. If these people were so peaceful and good natured, out of respect for the country they are lucky enough to be living in, they should call off the marches/demonstrations for the weekend, at least.
