Tree Huggers v Rams thoughts

[ramAnag]

In your (and my) embryonic days of playing there were just two full backs, so they couldn't play it across the back as the half backs were more advanced.

True GP...but ‘never pass across your own goal/penalty area’ was the mantra. I know football has become more complicated but I wish Bogle had heard it.
Sometimes our ‘tw*tting about’ at the back just looks like an accident - aka giveaway goal - waiting to happen...and the opposition know it.

Also grew up with the same mantra. It's suicidal, there are areas to play and areas not to play. Also infuriates me when defenders head the ball inside - either clear it down the pitch or put it out, rather than putting a nice through ball through for the opposition.
