Re: Bob Wilson's Blog makes it to Wales Online
Assuming that is done without Bobs consent, isn’t that clearly plagiarism and subject to legal advice?
Or is journalism now just copying and pasting other people’s content verbatim and then asking readers to sign up so we can monetize their data and tell us what they think about it?
edit - maybe I’ve jumped the gun there reading it again including the tag line, if so congrats on making the big time?

Re: Bob Wilson's Blog makes it to Wales Online
Not much to disagree with in that article although I question the references to the refusal to pick the young guns. As football is so results orientated and a manager's life is so tenuous especially at Cardiff City any manager in our position would pick his strongest team and not plan for the future. Lamouchi's job was to keep the club in the Championship and that must have been his sole priority. Of course he could have picked youngsters when we were safe but I'm doubtful whether a hammering at Burnley for example would have done them a lot of good. However, it was a thoughtful article and good on Wales Online for airing a real fans view.

Wales Online approached me on Tuesday asking if they could use the piece - I was happy to let them publish it.

Don't you think that the final game of the season with nothing riding on it would be the best time to give youngsters a go? If it had been a hammering, they wouldn't have got much flak for it if they were genuine untried youngsters. The problem I have with Monday is that we're not talking about untired youngsters here.
Looking at their Wikipedia entries, Eli King has played twenty times in senior football now, Isaak Davies thirty eight, Joel Bagan thirty six if you include the two matches he played on loan for Notts County (could have sworn he played more than hat for them) and Rubin Colwill sixty with eight senior caps as well.
So, we're talking about four players with a combined age of 83 (3x21 plus King who's 20) and a total of one hundred and sixty two appearances in senior football. When do they stop being youngsters who need to be protected and start becoming proper professional footballers? I'd argue that the answer to that question should be something like eighteen months ago in the case of the twenty one year olds and at the start of this season for King.

You make some good points. However, I don't think a hammering would have done Lamouchi's hope for a new contract a lot of good. But it's a matter of opinion I suppose and that's the point of this forum isn't it?

There is the possibility of course that a six goal hammering or worse may have severely dented Lamouchi's chance of getting the nod for next season, hence his reluctance to blood more youngsters in what was for us a meaningless game.

And so he picked Ojo. :facepalm:

Re: Bob Wilson's Blog makes it to Wales Online
I dont think the likes of King , Bagan , Davies would have meant a 6 goal drubbing.
The side selected we have to hope these players are better.
They should have played v Huddersfield.
I would say not giving Bagan a game v a crap Huddersfield side then asking him to mark Benson would have been asking a lot.
We cant buy players. Whoever is our new manager I hope he shows more faith in our younger players because they surely cant be worse than a lot of those selected.

Of course he's an idiot. You'd have to be especially dense to post such nonsense to a far wider audience, who appear to be tearing him a new arsehole.

I took the massive fee for granted- that might have been a mistake.
