You little t***, Foster. :lol:

Can we count on an appearance from you at any point, bearing in mind we now play Saturdays and Sundays (although not every week)?
Pilko is too bright for such a young guy.

Actually, on that note whatever position Slim plays for NOFC, make sure he can take alot of shots, nearly broke my hand with one in warmup,  I took some shots of Steve Bowey (ex Bristol City, I think he took their set pieces) and Slims had far more venom in them.  Don't think I've experienced such a powerful strike before.

"I hope somebody sets the c***s on fire", were the meditative words of forum sage Andy as he looked ahead to NOFC's first season in what he quite smugly described as "almost certainly a football competition".

In an epic RANT filled with dislike and utter contempt for the team who claim to represent his forum, Andy:

NAILED manager Pilko to the cross, saying "at the end of the day, Pilko is one of the tallest men I have ever seen... I don't see how he can make decisions when his judgment will be clouded quite literally by clouds, because he's so tall, and he will not be able to see past the clouds."

SLAMMED the commitment of the players; especially those who can only play on the off-chance that they're actually in the country.

SLATED the club's "over zealous" gay quota. "You've got to have one, legally, I think" he said, "but there's at least three of them in there. The last thing we need is for the opposition to be through on goal and Yorkie to suddenly start playing kissy-catchy with Kaizero. I bet they can't even f***ing run properly, the big sissies."

RIDICULED the club's chances of scoring, let alone winning, predicting that: "you've got idiots like Nixon who couldn't score in a f***ing whore-house, and even if he did, his little cousin would probably steal it off him anyway and stick the goal on eBay."

TARRED all Yorkshire folk with the same brush; "you have Dave and Yorkie representing the team almost every saturday for f***'s sake. I'm not being racist, but at the end of the day, we're playing football not making puddings. They should stick to what they know best."

RAPPED about the club's dismal chances of success: "at the end of the day, the honkies just don't care, and it all boils down to David's facial hair; should have got it cut, should have kept his mouth shut, cos now he's up against some real IFA flair," were at least some of the lyrics.

One thing is for sure, Andy hopes NOFC lose every single game, "they have their heads in the clouds and somebody needs to bring them back down to earth," he cooly stated, "apart from Pilko who can't help having his head in the clouds, because he's so tall that his head is literally in the clouds and he can't do anything about that."


Unerringly accurate. Particularly the third point O0
They keep saying their strategy will take several years to implement, I accept this and realise that in the future we may be able to hold onto players much easier if we manage to achieve success without burning cash to get there. There's next to no point in overspending until you're in the s*** to get to Europe, only to fall out of it for several years and potentially enter relegation battles. Be frugal, spend the money wisely but at all times keep a core of good players in the side and try the utmost to create a core which is reasonably stable for three-four years.

I fully expect to get slayed and slated here for being a w***** apologist and maybe I'm wrong, maybe all they care about is lining their pockets and f***ing us over but you can argue it both ways. The haters have a more aggressive way of talking about it but we'll not know who's right until MA's ownership comes to an end.

Fully open to any ribbing here but f*** it, i'm a bit down about yesterday - has anyone got any tips for the right-back position? I was a lost sheep for the majority of the game yesterday.

Re: Right-Back

I was a right-back in my soccer days. I was s*** though so my only advice would be - if against a fast left-winger, attempt some tackle of this degree:

Don't dive into the tackle, crunch into them for your first tackle though, make them know you mean business would be my advice.
Don't drop back too much, keep a solid line with your centre halves.
Be careful overlapping, although as we play 3 in the middle the holding player should be able to cover most times.

Failing that i don't mind playing RB. Played there for school a few times there.

It's a deceptively difficult position to play I think. I'm a winger and occasional full back, if your not really used to playing there then positional wise it's difficult, you find yourself not knowing weather to come across, who to pick up, weather to follow 'your man' if he comes inside or stick to your position etc.

Other than what's been suggested, talk to the lad playing infront of you, get at him to track back and pick up the winger as much as possible, meaning you can tuck inside and pick up a forward or if he's free pick him up and let you centre half know. Play to your attributes too, if you can, stand off your man or show him down the line and dont commit yourself or dive in.  You dont sound too confident either, try to get in the mindset that nobody is going to get by you. If your not overly confident , keep it simple too, until your comfortable.

Obviously I've never seen you play but as someone who sometimes at full back despite not being the best there, thats the type of things i try to tell my self.

Playing full back is about two things IMO. Positioning and communication. You have to talk to the CB's and the man in front of you all game. Full back is one of the few positions on the pitch where you can see most of the pitch so you have to open your mouth, you can see where the runners are and if someone is getting too much space so tell your team mates what is needed. If you are getting exposed then you bollock the man in front of you to work harder and track his man. Talk to your CB if your man is cutting inside and ask him if he wants you to track him. If he does you follow him all the way accross the pitch.

The back four should play like they are chained together. If the LB goes forward the other three shuffle across to cover as if they were three centre halves. If you have a holding midfielder he can sit in meaning the RB doesn't have to come over as much.

You need to try and figure out the man facing you early on. Is he quicker than you, does he like to play on his left or right foot, does he like to get to the line or cut inside, is he up for a physical challenge. If you can read his game then you make your life easier. Whatever he wants to do you do your best to make him do the opposite. Show him onto his weaker foot, if he is tricky and twisty then don't get tight or he'll leave you on your arse. If he is slower and likes to play the ball get right up his arse. If he wants to cut inside show him the line. If you think he's a softy hit him hard and hit him early so he knows he'll get a battering if he comes near you again. Be sneaky, tread on his toes and pinch his body at throw in's. Wind him up. Do whatever you can to put him off his game. If he's just a very good player then double up on him and deny him the opportunity to influence the game.

A good full back should always be aware enough to cover his CB if he get's caught out. This tends to be from long balls where the CB gets dragged under it and misses the header. Obviosuly this is easy to say but not always easy to do.

If I was manager I wouldn't want my full backs to worry too much about getting beyond the wide man. Primarily you are there to defend and if we have a leaky defence then that should be the first priority, But do make yourself available as an outlet for the wide man. Back him up so that if he can't go forward he has an option to come back to you. When you get the ball don't give it away cheaply. If nothing is on play it in the channel in front of you. Be comfortable enough to pass the ball back to the keeper or in to the CB's if they want it. Finally, it's a cliche I know, but if in doubt put it out, and not just tap it out. Hoof it miles to give the team time to get the shape back.

I know he's a tosser but study Gary Neville, not so much now but in the mid to late 90's. He's a limited footballer but an excellent full back and a great example of how to play the position by doing the simple basic jobs well.I hope this helps Yorkie.

I'll tell you now, it's not gonna happen :D

In reality, I was given the remit to be in more of an 'Arjen Robben' winger position, rather that your standard english style winger.

In reality reality, even if I was in your standard english style winger position, I'dve been too f***ed to track back anyway.

Well if I play full back in the game at SJP you can see for yourself then. Just make sure you watch carefully. Although I'm much better at CB.

So maybe if we show ashley this we can get some more home games @ St James Park
