Afc Rochdale v Swindon Town Matchday Thread

[Flashheart]

It's been more interesting than an average match day thread.

[Don Rogers Sock]

That was because he clearly hadn't read the post he was apparently disagreeing with. If you're going to disagree with something, at least make sure you actually read what you're saying is wrong. FFS, mollycoddling much?

Not Mollycuddling just seems if someones view differs you are quick to take a certain tone with them. Bit like the mollycuddling comment actually :-)

Trouble with that is there will be another one tomorrow going over the same old bollocks again - less the psychology bit hopefully.

[Reg Smeeton]

Again, science isn't about getting it exactly right. It's about doing the best it can and continually trying to improve on that.

The philosophy of science is indeed a fascinating area to get one's head round. But I'm with DRS, I see nothing in Audrey's musings that lie outside of what can be found in serious academic thought on the subject.

Now consider this, analysis of vision and perception has shown a small but measurable improvement in observation by peripheral vision if yellow is worn.....high vis jackets etc.  Applying such marginal gains evidence to our current lot might make Luke think we should wear all yellow kit a bit like Villareal, in order to speed up the passing in tight areas. Would this be a good use of sports science

I disagree with everyone

Well, no. If he had a different point of view, argued it and backed it up, then fair enough. But he didn't - he didn't read what he was disagreeing with, and just asserted a load of bollocks as fact on the basis of nothing. Talk shite, you're going to get the piss taken.

And it's mollycoddling

[Tails]

Can we argue about whether mollycoddling is a science or not?

Depends on what Molly looks like I suppose.

I agree.

I had coddled eggs for tea the other day

We all know that this is the most likely outcome:

In the interests of science Ron, can you tell us a bit more about coddled eggs?  They seem to have passed the Smeeton household by.

 The pass though actually found the steward....

[RobertT]

Could have done with a bit more pace on it though, the steward had to come back up the touchline, taking the impetus out of the attack.

At any point, has anyone heard why Sherwood decided on such a strange team selection? To drop Murray and play Barry in a position where he looks even less suited than fullback and to put Rodgers in as DM and Smith at 8 ahead of Thomas?
