Rotherham United v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

I can see why skyscrapers might need to bend in the wind but not a structure of 60ft?

Jack started the run for his goal 10 yards inside his own half. Beat half their team and played 2 one twos on the way, to slotting it into the bottom corner.

If that were Hazzard or Messi, or had taken place in the premier league the media would be in a frenzy about it.

he has a bit of Gazza about him when running with the ball

He'll be much better than that.

That’ll take some doing, and I obviously think Jack is great.

Gascoigne achieved fuck all apart from bizarre bloke-hero status. Grealish can do anything he wants.

I was about to post "He won Spurs the FA cup in 91 by injuring himself badly when he kicked Gary Charles in the chest so the ref decided as he was getting carried off he couldn't also send him off. If he hadn't got injured Spurs would have been down to 10 men for most of the match."

Then I checked on Wiki to remind me and I forgot it was Parker who was karate attacked and Fat Gaz didn't even get a card of any colour, then it was Charles who was scythed down,  but he didn't go off until after the free kick was taken and scored from. Talk about star struck refs ey.

Paul Gascoigne had a level of skill and natural ability that was unrivalled in his generation. But then again so did George Best and look at what a fuck up he was.

Erm, Maradona? Stoichkov? Hagi? Baggio? Schifo? Laudrup?

That's a ridiculous statement. Of 1.5 million kids who play organised youth football, only about 180 turn professional.  That's a success rate of 0.012 percent.

Gascoigne making one sub appearance and never playing again would have been the opposite of "fuck all".  50+ caps for England even less so.

Massive **** mind.

I take your point but if you measure potential Vs achievement he was a massive let down. All of the others had their own personality flaws (apart from perhaps Laudrup, and I don't know much more about Schifo other than that he was more use than Gascoigne) and he doesn't belong in any of their company.

True enough, he ended up with a career more comparable to Le Tissier or Merson than Maradonna.

I thought the fashionable Grealish comparison was with Waddle anyhow!

Because of the dynamic / live load on the structure (i.e people. The concrete mix and amount and type of rebar i.pact on the rigidity of a structure. Too rigid there could be a failure of the structure in response to say 2-3 thousand people bouncing.

Gazza was a bloody superb player who achieved far more than "fuck all".
