Conor Hourihane - thanks and farewell

[KevinGage]

You seem to have very firm ideas about how a Villa-related message board should work.

Maybe set your own up? Then the people who enjoy your foresight and insight can go there.

[BC54 VFC]

Hourihane is one of those players who fans tend to look back fondly on. £2.5m he cost from memory. Hope he does well in his new role.

El Ghazi , Grealish , Douglas Luiz , Ashely Young. Albert Adomah I could go on !

And certainly if Hourihane is allowed to hang around on main service boat then Deano has to have a thread reinstated to here as he’s the guy that got us back to the Prem and it still wrangles with me that Steven Gerrard replaced him!!

It was magnificent to see Deano and Emery together at Villa Park and I do feel Smith will be back in some capacity one day
Look at Little and Taylor and Elmo too.
Yes I can see Deano involved again one day.

I think 'rankles' is the word you're looking for.

A discord you mean ?

How about a revision of the rules and guidelines thread?
This is where everyone can contribute and discuss ideas that make it all inclusive and allow for quality and excellence all across the board. Polls on all things that are up for debate. that’s the fairest system and allows for all to have an input

It would be an open honest discussion thread and all things on the table  for example
should the community have a transfer speculation specific player thread (yes)
a pre match thread for the next game should automatically be created within 24 hours of the last game finishing
given that the nature of football club has changed and that champions league matches are of great significance should the community look to have pre match thread for next Champions League match in place within 24 hours of the last Champions League match
that’s just a few examples I have nearly 45 more. (I will stop at 50) and of course it’s open to community to give ideas on what they think needs changing, revising or improving.

And then when results are in can bring rules in for next season
Really rules should be revised every season if i may say so.

I for one, cannot wait to hear them.

[Brazilian Villain]

Maybe start with the first 10, and see how it goes.

Maybe try it on Villa Talk.

Maybe you could set up a poll to see how we all feel about your idea?

[Louzie0]

Thanks and good luck, Conor!

[cdbearsfan]

Good luck, Hot Lips. And can we have the first few suggestions, please, FV?

What about setting up a website where people talk about biscuits and have valuable* insights into transfers.

*made up.

[WassallVillain]

Footy’s ideas all seem to be routed in AI learning. Coincidence or insight.

[Small Rodent]

Come on lads. We shouldn’t be discussing any of this. It’s Lent.

[Clampy]

One goal (well, disallowed goal) that I remember is the one he scored from about 20 yards out which VAR then went on to rule out because someone had briefly stood in front of the keeper 20 seconds before despite the ball being played back into him from out wide. You just knew then that VAR was going to be the pile of wank it still is today.

I don't think you'd like an open and honest thread.

And this forum has worked very well for over 25 years. You've made the choice to join, why do you now want to change it to the detriment of everyone else's enjoyment?

[cdbearsfan]

How do you know the changes will be to anyone's detriment if we don't give them a try? Throughout history, innovators have always had to put up with this kind of nonsense. Invention and creativity sacrificed at the altar of tradition. You think we should still be eating coal. Don't you?
