Thanks for your as ever courteous intelligent reply🥱. As soon as I saw it was you who had responded I knew exactly what kind of response to expect unlike others who do share my view or at least respond constructively.

It seems Neil Critchley has as little faith in Yates as I do as he shrewdly continually leaves him on the bench.I think I trust his judgement a bit more than your never ending, very opinionated, confrontational rubbish.

PS I am sure you that you will also be particularly delighted to know that my horse racing bets continue to go very well showing a healthy profit for the fifth year in a row since I restarted betting in 2018. Happy days ......for me at least.

yep, more bullshit. Your first post was deliberately designed to be antagonistic to so many on here with your comment that Lavery is light years ahead of Yates. That tells me all I need to know about you. A dick head who intentionally puts down one BFC player in order to big up another. That's not being a fan.
You've always been a bullshitter with your horse tips too.
 
Ha ha you make me laugh with your persistently ill informed rubbish on football and even more on your ignorance on my consistent betting successes another illustration of how you constantly express op[n[ons on subjects that you know absolutely nothing at all about. .

Thanks for the entertainment keep the laughs going as I`m sure you have nothing better to do with your sad little life.😂😂😂

nothing ill informed at all. You deliberately and intentionally put down Yates did you not?
 
Yes I completely agree with our manager .Yates is not one of the best eleven players at the club and so is best left on the bench.

As for your ill informed comments on my betting based purely on your total ignorance, so I can only assume that`s down to either envy , a personal vendetta which for some reason you seem to hold against me or both, for which betting and the profits made incidentally I have kept full records of all bets over 5 years, and about which you know absolutely zero and your oft stated opinion is certainly not based on any facts or knowledge .

Despite knowing nothing you make constantly disparaging remarks about it from a position of complete ignorance which effectively illustrates just how little regard we should have for most of the stuff you post on here and conclude that you seem to be determined to prove only that you`re a pretty unpleasant individual and in that regard at least I give you full credit ,you have certainly made a very persuasive case.

At the end of the day Dougall is an okay central midfielder but hasn't got a creative bone is his body. Connolly isn't a central midfielder or a right back or a central defender, I'm not actually sure what he is. I get why people love Kenny but in reality if we had 2 decent midfielders he wouldn't be playing. He's a good league 1 midfielder but he's a back up Championship midfielder. To me its been in midfield where we have floundered all season and it needs sorting out. Other than that, 2 sides who cancelled each other out, as dull a half as I have seen for some time.

Get Connolly off and out of the squad, that was a great chance and he missed the ball completely, he is gash.

Oh and Bowler isn't worth anywhere near a million......... 5 million maybe, even that's is probably too cheap.

Herts, you were chatting a lot of ** nonsense in this thread on Saturday weren't you?

Dougall is easily Championship class. Top end too. And Bowler is a magician who's clearly worth more than a million hence us rejecting offers above that.

Well you need to read it again then Kurt me old son!

I said Bowler wasn't worth a million and if you read the next bit I said because he's worth at least 5 million and even that would be cheap and if you read any of my other messages I have said his real worth is to us as a player and to get him on a new 3.5 + 1 contract.

As for Dougall, it's all about opinions. I think he is a solid defensive midfielder and I'm glad we have him as he has been consistent all season, but if say, we get Brannagan and Stewart is fit to play then I think you would see him on the bench. It doesn't mean I'm right or you're right, it's just an opinion.

I accept that's possible, he's winning me round every game and as I keep saying I'm glad we've got him. He will be even better when Stewart plays alongside him too.

I'm right about Bowler though, he's worth at least 5 million and unless Forest are willing to pay that sort of money then he isn't going anywhere. I would hope SS is doing everything he can to get him to sign a much improved lengthy contract. If we want to be fighting for a top 6 place then we need to be keeping players like Bowler. I also bet we end up in the EPL before Florist do!

So Critchley has told you who the best eleven players at the club are then? Can you please enlighten us then and show us where he's said that? Maybe you could tell us why he seems to make changes to the team on a game by game basis if he already knows who his best eleven players are?Or perhaps you are once again just full of shit.
As for your betting, well it's typical of your type of posts. It's all about you and how great and fantastic you are. What sort of Blackpool fan puts down a very well respected player like Yatesin order to big up another in Lavery. Think the vast majority of fans think they are both great players and we are lucky to have them both. But not you eh! What a tosser you are.

Thanks, I`ll just let your own language neatly sum you up.

that's no problem because you are. Read your own post. Why would any decent Blackpool fan slag off one of Blackpools players and in the eyes of many a great one in order to big another player up, You simply can't answer that much in the way you can't answer my previous question about telling me who Critchleys best eleven players are?. Stick to telling us how great a racing tipster you are or how great a cricket coach you are. Because it's all about you isn't it?
 
"Or perhaps you are once again just full of shit.
What a tosser you are."

You can rant on forever as you always do but as I said your own words above very neatly sum you up. There`s nothing more to say to you, life`s too short to waste on rubbish like this.

If you want to have the last word as you obsessively usually do be my guest , you`re welcome, I`ll leave you to it.

see you once again, fail to impart all this wisdom you have by answering my questions. Anyway, I'll make a prediction for you. Blackpool won't win the league or go up this season. If my prediction is correct I'll come back to you and say I was right. Bit like you do with McIlroy!.

The difference is that McIlroy has been regularly well fancied in golf majors since I said in 2015 that I thought he may never win another major and I incurred the wrath of a few ,like of course you, who disagreed. I think it`s now the last 27 times since 2014 that he has failed to win! Blackpool on the other hand were always underdogs to be even in the playoffs this season, more fancied to be relegated I think and we`re talking about just one event for them but so far 27 events and opportunities for McIlroy and 27 failures for him to win one.

You clearly don`t really understand the possibilities and probabilities and therefore the odds involved in betting as illustrated by your comparison between the two totally different scenarios above .One a relatively fancied contender in no less than 27 separate events with 27 chances but so far all failures to win, comparing that with the other scenario, a very unfancied contender in 1 single event is a ridiculous comparison by any standards but I certainly agree with you that our chances of even a playoff place this season are very small.

You fully understand the point I was making.with my comparison. The point was it was all about your ego by saying how often you are right on McIlroy. As well as you dismissing the talent he clearly has. It's difficult to win any Major and I would say it's even harder now than when McIlroy first burst onto the scene as there are in my view far more naturally talented golfers than there were back then.

Anyway, It's not the first time you've said you'll "leave me to it" but then don't. What are the possibilities and probabilities and therefore the odds involved in you replying to this post?
 
100% or shorter than 1/100. Actually there are no odds on or against a certainty.

When personal abuse is prevalent in your posts which happens often I am inclined to avoid responding. You were by your standards a little less abusive on your last two posts so I was happy to reply to your points.

It is not my ego but the fact that I have had so many disparaging posts from you and a few others too over the years about my forecast on McIlroy so I continue to point out that so far and it`s now been 7 years that despite all the abuse my forecast has held up though I can`t see any acknowledging that fact.

As for my dismissing McIroy`s talent is concerned I am surprised you say that, with your elephantine memory you should remember that I have more than once acknowledged what a highly talented golfer he certainly is. His problem is not a lack of talent but his inability to deal with the greatest pressure of producing his best now when the pressure is at its highest in all the majors which I felt had begun to show back in 2015.

Ah, right, so it was a certainty you'd respond.
My first post simply said bullshit and nothing else. i said that, because you deliberately and intentionally bigged up Lavery in order to put down Yates. Yates, who is highly thought of by most of our fans. I find it odd that any BFC fan would do that but there again, it's no surprise that you would.
You later made the outrageous claim that you seem to know what Critchley thinks, his opinion of Yates as a footballer and who his best eleven are. And not once have you backed up how you know all this when challenged. As a good few others have pointed out, it could well be that Yates off field antics is a reason why Critch is currently not starting him, but hey you know best eh! Like I've said and on previous threads as well, it's all about your ego. Be that be about golf, horse racing and now football. And you accuse me of being consistently ill informed on football! I suggest you re-visit pretty much any match day thread see that's more bullshit too.
I will give you some credit though. My elephantine memory recalls that you always backed me in my discussions about Kane.

But once again, your third para confirms that like I said, it's all about your ego. You somehow seem to think we should all be fawning over your prediction whereas with the competition that's been around for the last few years winning a major isn't easy. So not really a great prediction at all.

I have to confess I have actually agreed with you on a number of issues over the years both on football and on some current affairs and indicated so on here.

I, like you I presume, don`t know Neil Critchley personally but think it is reasonable to draw some conclusions on his views from his choices and decisions. So I don`t think it`s unreasonable to think that our manager is less impressed with Yates than some on here.Yates`s off the field behaviour certainly hasn`t helped him but it was noticeable that he was being left on the bench before his more recent social misdemeanours.

Personally I think that if we could get decent money for him and use it to strengthen our squad, perhaps in attacking midfield or up front that would be a good move.

It was noticeable that Saturday's team only contained the numbers 2 and 11. Whatever happened to having a 1 to 11?

It's a squad game now. How many times has Critch sent out an unchanged team from the week before? Not many would be my guess. Yet 1950's says he knows Critchleys best eleven. You really couldn't make it up!

You are misquoting me again . The point I made was that Yates in recent times rarely has been starting so perhaps only getting around 20 minutes playing time or none at all which suggests to me at least but perhaps not to our dimmer supporters that he doesn`t think Yates is one the best eleven available. they usually figure more prominently.

Or is that too difficult for you to grasp?
 
your words

"Yes I completely agree with our manager .Yates is not one of the best eleven players at the club and so is best left on the bench."
Like I said it's a squad game and Critch seems to change his team on a game by game basis not withstanding injuries.
By your reckoning it's amazing how many games Yates has started even when Lavery is on the bench. After all, in your opinion and no doubt you think Critchleys as well Lavery is "light years" ahead as a player over Yates. That not only disrespects Yates and all he's done for the club but it disrespects the fans who rate him highly too.

What a load of rubbish. As football fans we all have our opinions and we express them, that`s what it`s all about.All your talk of disrespect for players or those fans who have different opinions is ridiculous, absolute tosh.

Following football is about a range of opinions which is what this site is for. If we all agreed on everything this site would be boring and pointless and wouldn`t last long.

Keshi or Sonny does that, you're waxing lyrical...

Gaz does it, it 'just happens'

It's you I feel sorry for. You don't know what you're missing out on. The church of Gaz loves you. You just have to open your ears to the voice.

Ive grown to like Gaz, you'll be pleased to hear. Cos he gradually climbed out of his indifference and joined in. Got his love back for the game. All hail the Critch. He's playing well. Now. Finally! He looks like he's loving it. Hallelujah!

Since Keshi and Sonny arrived I've seen only total commitment and desire. Gaz had to get his back, and it took a long time, in his second spell at the club.

That's how I read it anyway. The way he is now is ace, redemption. The past is forgiven. He's only 31, life in the old dog yet. I really do hope so. This Gaz is a charismatic thing. Which is what I look for, charisma on grass.

No it's not. Of course we all have different opinions on the various players but to say that Lavery is "light years" ahead of Yates as a player is simply based on nothing more than your attempt to big up Lavery to put down Yates. You have no viable evidence to suggest that your claim is remotely true. or has any substance. I think we've got two good Championship strikers. Just to add a further sense of balance, I said on one of the very first matchday threads this season that I thought Lavery could go on to be better than Yates but to say he is light years ahead at this point is just guff.

Have you ever heard of hyperbole? Apparently not. It`s called exaggeration to make a point which is exactly what I did. Can you stop being such a pedant or is that impossible for someone who endlessly argues every tiny issue till the cows come home in a desperate attempt to justify your obsessively petty nonsense.

Goodbye you very sad little man, life`s far too short to waste any more time on you.
