When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?

Heads-up: it's anyway. Only Americans say anyways.

Are you sure you are on the write site? you passing the qote off as your own or should we all know who said it?

Agree with the colonel you're attitude is just like that twerp umpire

Collingwood's midfield is a pack of second to the ball, first to the tackle lurkers and spillage sweepers. Loose ball gets are contested possessions - Swan gets lots of loose ball. Good player gets it, Collingwood Lurker A tackles him, ball spills to Lurker B who handballs to Lurker C who gets credited with a clearance.

Speaking of midfield depth, the run of Varcoe and Wojo was massive tonight. Good changes. Corey can do Mackie's job better than him and dare I say it, Lonergan is important. Tomahawk doesn't have to do much to be more effective than Blake, and he succeeded in that. If Ottens can play as much time as Jolly the Cats will be happy. I hope they smash the Social Climbers, the question is if their handball and risk taking can stand up to the lurking. It will be a victory for football if it can.

That's some awesome mythbusting there, spook.

And I agree totally about a victory for football. If Thompson is prepared to tweak their game it might pay to see how the Pies go with a bit of a mauling, a bit of second to the ball game plan. I know Wellingham will be slow to get up and Pendlebury will get out of the way.

I just googled that one, BCL. Turns out it's an Oscar Wilde quote - hence italicised. Every thread bagging Collingwood should have one.

Not quite sure what Wilde knew about football, would have thrived under the Blight style of attractive football though

:hihi

I believe he showed neat skills at his local Belfastkick before losing interest in the game, preferring soccer. (Blighty might have been a bit too crazy for Wilde.)

Be warned in time, James, and remain, as I do, incomprehensible: to be great is to be misunderstood.

I hope so. Might have been what Thompson was alluding to with the 'we need to hate them' stuff.

Big Oscar was renowned for his hard ball gets, loose ball gets and ability to penetrate the zone. A brilliant exponent of the play on game. Would have held down CHF for the Cats no worries (provided the CHF was of similar persuasion ).

Gee I wish our midfield was as bad as the Collingwood midfield that some around here think is so ordinary.

Backline full of duds, midfield lurkers and forwards who cant kick. What a sh!t side.

Harry and Nick are guns :hihi Seriously i think its an absolute joke that both of them are rated by anyone outside their scum supporters.

 

[Scoop]

Don't understand the hate on Scott Pendlebury.

The Pies midfield is what you want. It dominates games, runs 8-10 deep and all of them are well rounded footballers. The theory of it being lurkers doesn't sit with me. Willl hate them for being supported by parole skipping, unemployed red necks but not the way the midfield works.

Pendlebury is a footballer of great vision, poise, endurance and execution but I stand by my description of Collingwood's methods, if exaggerated for effect.

Education is an admirable thing. But it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Well, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs. One must eat muffins quite calmly, it is the only way to eat them.


Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like.

Furthermore,

It's a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.

So in other words, a gun. Just like Swan and Didak.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

It's one thing for an anti Collingwood thread to be enriched by Oscar Wilde and another thing altogether for an Oscar Wilde thread to be contaminated by Collingwood.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Tombstone references (and parts nearby in geography and spirit) are always welcome.

We can never agree on this, evo. You love the neat skills outside quotes. That Copernicus *smile* is the mad inside grunt.

Ed, what an ugly thing to say. I abhor ugliness... does this mean we're not friends anymore? You know, Ed, if I thought you weren't my friend, I just don't think I could bear it.

Oh... Johnny, I apologize, I forgot you were there... You may go now.
