Re: Playing out from the back
Looking forward to hearing all about what Ron Atkinson did at Peterborough.
Let's play "guess what Ronnie is talking about". My guess is John Beck at Cambridge.
Re: Playing out from the back
Ron Atkinson is like the Jim Davidson of football managers. Sam Allardyce is Bernard Manning.
Davidson and Manning. Ronnie Bird's favourite comics ???
Re: Playing out from the back
That's all quite childish isn't it ?
There's not much point being logical if people either can't grasp it or just want to call people names from behind their keyboards.
If that's what you like doing, why wait until someone's posted something - just post away with the schoolyard crap and enjoy the fact that you can get away with it .

Compared to lots of other stuff it actually is fairly simple of course , but like anything else it's capable of improvement by intelligent thought.
I have admiration for those who can apply such intelligent thought to improve the performance of a football team, and it's possible to understand to some extent how they're achieving that . Observing the performance of a more expensive and to be fair more skilful team them concluding that we should do that isn't a very intelligent view.
You mention one of the many teams Ron Atkinson has managed as if he's always done it that way, but of course he's done it many ways and always played to the strengths of the players he has available, whilst avoiding the stuff they can't do. I might mention the extreme route one football he used at Peterborough.
Tell you what's definitely NOT intelligent.... Calling people names and acting like a spoilt child whilst discussing alternative tactics. In the real world of big boys activities where we have to make important decisions, people who act like that don't get to take part. It's not going to help anything and it's childishly rude.
Hilarious, trying to gain some sort of moral highground. Spoilt child? Pot, kettle etc. You're the tosser that rubs people up the wrong way then cries when you get it back. :hehe: Only one of us gets it reguarly in the neck from other posters on here, which says something.
Try growing up and being the supposedly intellectual and intelligent mature adult you claim to be. You're not impressing anyone. Quite the opposite.

Anyone remember when Brian Clough was managing Celtic?

An interesting article not just for the balloon ball comment.

Re: Playing out from the back
What is Ronnie's hard on over Ron Atkinson about?
The guy hasn't been talked about for about 20 years ffs.
I reckon if you typed Ron Atkinson into google the first 10 links from the search engine would open up threads form ccmb from the last month!

I don't want to impress anyone here , I can assure you. Your comment is rubbish though, because I don't call people names, especially in response to a post they've made.
It's heartbreaking to see some of the stuff written here, but not for me, for the sake of those who will self inflict failure upon themselves with their lack of manners and insistence upon opinions which don't stand examination.

Is that Hamlet? Wales Bales?
Re: Playing out from the back
It's not Hamlet or WB.
I can do a bit of Shakespeare if you like, but I didn't think it would go down well here.

There you go 👌👏 And I think Tuerto was generous. Kicking out from the back is more 65/35 than 50/50.

ronnie ruining another thread with his tedious posts.

What a load of bollocks. Where's the 50-50 challenges, the misplaced passes and the last gasp tackles to win the ball back for the keeper to launch forward, taking out half a dozen seagulls as it gets close to exiting the earth's atmosphere?
This isn't football. I'd rather watch a schoolyard game of kick and rush.

Apparently, in the 1870s, Scotland bamboozled the English by passing the ball. Before that, football was largely a game where one player would run as far as he could with the ball until he lost it.
Re: Playing out from the back
I think playing out from the back, can look clever and controlled, and I do like to see it, but to me it can only work with a settled defence.
Re: Playing out from the back
That was a thing of beauty. Extremely well executed but not without risk. It's also not a great example. It doesn't have to be like that. When the goalie has the opportunity and the outfield player is well placed pass the ball. If not, do something else.
It just seems obvious to me that in the game of football when you can, pass to one of your own players. Hoofing upfield and hoping for the best should be a last resort. That's not to say you can't go long to someone running into space, but booting into the pack when you can actually use your feet and hand to control the ball just seems a waste.

Come on ronniebird, what did you want to say about Ron Atkinson's stint in charge of Peterborough?

Gavin Whyte would’ve excelled at football if he was born 150 years earlier then
Re: Playing out from the back
Fulham caught again today !!!
When will they learn that they’re not good enough to do it ?
