Pointing

[not3bad]

Has anyone noticed the amount of pointing our players currently do?

Far too often an opposition player makes a run and, rather than the player who's close by and has seen it going with him, he'll point and shout at a teammate to run with/after the opponent instead. The player doesn't see this and so the opposition player is through.

You watch the game this Sunday and I bet it'll happen numerous times.

Players need to go themselves and not point at others to do the job they've seen needs doing.

Just making a point. It's been bugging me for a while that has. Feel slightly better that I've spoken about it.

you are taking the piss arent you?

Did that need pointing out?

Every great side needs a great pointer in the backbone of the team. A pointy Goalkeeper with a big pair of Sepp Maier gloves instills confidence in the team.

Also, it's esential to have a pointer on the bench in a coaching capacity.

That said, great pointers don't necessarily make great managers. look at Brian Kidd and Sammy Lee. Fantastic pointers but they just couldn't make the step up.

Where do we stand on spitters? Who's our best spitter?

Not sure who our current best spitter is but I wager they would not get anywhere near the Mighty Kent Nielsen. The great Danes phlegm throw against Inter Milan in 1990 will never be beaten. Top gobbing!

Nonsense!

Alan Evans could spit over the North Stand

Good point

As well as a good pointer, you need someone on the bench who can do that two-handed gesture that looks like invisible pass-the-parcel. I think it's accompanied by the archane chant "Ship it! Ship it!"

Where do you stand with Great Danes?

I quite liked some of the Pointer Sisters stuff - not sure what their manager was like.

Funnily enough if you go to the Villa website, there is a picture of PL pointing!! Spooky.

Agreed, but it's preferable to the David Ginola hands on hips approach.

Ah, but when you look that good...

Depends which butcher you use...

I think it was the league cup final against Leeds when Brian Little celebrated a goal by pointing at his head with both index fingers.

What do points make........

[Broughty-Villian]

An electrical contact, especially one in the distributor of an automobile engine.
