I think it's been mentioned many times on The Arabian/My Shirona/My Arabian/It's mine, mine mine and you're not getting it,

I believe the official name is "My Preciouss".

I think it's been mentioned many times on The Arabian/My Shirona/My Arabian/It's mine, mine mine and you're not getting it, that nobody here has directed verbal abuse at Craig Conway.
There are a lot of you on here who can't bring yourself to say anything bad about any of our Beloved United's players, unless it is posthumous.
Craig Conway was pish for a decent chunk of last season, and the season before that. Then he puts the work in and is a great player to watch. Such is the nature of Craig Conway. I don't agree with people berating him at games because that can only ever have a negative outcome, but the statement that he was pish for sizeable amounts of time isn't incorrect.

Or you and your like minded critics were full of shit.

:hat:

Or you, yaz and your Panglossian kind aren't not full of excreta.

The idea that we don't have any players who have not gone through bad patches is quite ridiculous.

I think there's a distinction between having a bad patch (which I've conceded in this very thread that many players go through) and being pish for a good long while, although I do find your attempts to argue otherwise amusing.

Truly this is the best of all possible worlds.

And so it comes down to how to behave towards players who are just not good enough at this level, and players who are good enough but are just not in form (underperforming).

I'm of the opinion that a player is only as good as they are, so there's no point berating them for being not good enough for this level, better getting right behind them and encouraging them.

Those underperforming - well, I'm still in the 'nurture' camp with these scamps, with a gentle kick up the arse every now and again for good measure.

In summary, if they're pish or playing pish, they're our pish or pishers. Get behind them.

I'm still unconvinced by Setenza's user name. Does he still not know what the now defunct Irish satellite channel was called? Or, is he perpetuating his prior f*ck-up - it's his bad username and he's sticking with it? Or is he being post-modern and asking us to look at others who actually don't know it was actually Setanta? Or d) Other?

I mean, this was the big chance to change for ill thought out usernames and start anew. Ask me.

Even though I think he had a period of bad form, it's still possible to support him and think he's a bit rubbish.

It's hard to take advice on good choices of names from the character who thought "The Arab League" was a good idea.

And that wasn't even my choice, just the best of rest...

Agree, as long as they're putting in the effort. They can't help being pish (if they are), but they can help being lazy.

Okay, would you care to share with us this distinction? You may call it "going through a bad patch" but I'd call it being pish. Two terminologies for the same thing. As per Findus's post, isn't underperforming/being lazy slightly more annoying than a player like Stuart Duff just being completely pish.

Skeletor, you're going through a bad patch right now so I'm going to let this one slide. Let us both hope that I don't come to regret it.
