    Some good points there but, in all seriousness he doesn't help himself with his antics and his application of late.

    As they use to put on school reports....Could try harder! That glaring miss at Chesterfield said it all.

    In all the years watching Rotherham, do you honestly believe that you have ever seen a player miss a clear goal scoring opportunity because they didn't really "try" to score in that particular moment?

    I just don't think that's how humans work.

    Players will sometimes not make the effort more generally, but nobody doesn't try to score a sitter. It's more often a lack of confidence, or just plain luck.

    Ah you're back, where have you been?

    Did you go to Chesterfield the other night or even see the match on TV?

    He is lacking confidence but it was one of those, it was harder to miss moments when he should have buried it. A golden opportunity to get fans back on his side.

    Exactly my point. Don't you think he wanted to score it!? I just don't understand your implication.

    I've been many places, depends what time frame. Since summer I spent some time in the US and went to Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. I've also been in Bali, China, Spain and London. I've only made it to 1 game this season, but I watch online when time zones and my availability allow.

    There was no implication behind my statement, you're looking too deep once again. Watching on line isn't the same as being there. In attendance, you see more of the player throughout the game. Like I said, could try harder!

    Do you work for MI6? Sorry, I forgot you can't answer that. Sounds like you've been busy.

    Your exact statement was "Could try harder! That glaring miss at Chesterfield said it all." - this directly implies you think that he missed in that particular moment because he wasn't trying.

    You are right that being at the game is different. At the game you probably have a worse viewing angle, on average, than the TV camera. What he did the rest of the game is irrelevant in the context of discussing whether he missed that particular shot through a lack of effort.

    You may get the opportunity to see what I've been working on this year at some point actually. I've invented a new technology and it's been very helpful for the design to see how it can work best in different parts of the world.

    No it does not, it meant HE COULD HAVE TRIED HARDER TO SCORE, you are merely twisting my words to suit your means. You've not posted for a long time but with you, some things never change, I feel sorry for you.

    I do by the way, look forward to seeing or hearing about your new technology, is it mechanical?
