The thousand club

Like a crap online version of the masons.

Didn’t you start to a campaign to get your post count reinstated and were sending WhatsApps with threats.

Tup has the biggest meltdown in the history of any forum. Available for all to see. Came on here with best intentions and I don’t know the other 2 but it’s a waste of time debating with cretins so I’ll leave you to each other and your mutual bitterness

Wow, honestly, they consider themselves an organised "gang"? I never knew this and I've never come across any of them on the hat that I can remember, certainly not with these usernames. The level of pathos has just deepened.

I banned myself from AFC Chat because of the amount of total mutants on there. I will happily take a ban from here if my conduct in self-defence was considered too robust. The world is too pussy and I would rather have no part of a PC - or woke or whatever the term is - forum.

You did not ban yourself you hopeless liar. You were banished and ridiculed for being a grade A balloon. Tup

You, Poirot, and Cowie.

Leave Rocket alone and try and say something constructive. You're not on AFC Chat now pal.

Wow, the irony 

I’m certainly not a self titled sultan so wrong tree. Don’t call me a cunt 

Who you calling a cunt

All the traditional pub sports are in decline, standard of pub pool teams now is so much lower 

It reminds me of that stupid riddle they used to have in the middle of 3-2-1.

fucking pointless 

Calm down Bridget, agreeing with your point of view and you’re still angry

As I said, I know nothing but you are raising a whole bunch of different points so I need to deal with them separately;

I was talking about UK amateur golf and Scottish football being in decline. This is demonstrable and provable by any and every measurement criteria that we care to throw at it.

Yes the technological improvements (and strength and conditioning and other factors) make the ball go further in golf, progressively so over the last 30 years (whereupon this remains the biggest issue facing the R & A today) but I'm not looking at whether sports are, or should, improve in future years, I'm only talking about the declining standards that we are getting in UK amateur golf - which will inevitably come through to UK professional golf - and in Scottish football in general. This is wholly down to having less participants at school-age level, not just what the authorities might spin but on the street, in the parks, on the golf courses. Without a healthy grass roots feeding in, there is always going to be less quality coming out.

I don't think anybody should be "pushing sports people to perform better" other than dedicated coaching teams working with the consent of the individual, who must be motivated to want to succeed. It's just that there are less of them around in football (Scotland) and golf (UK) these days. And performing "for us", I don't get. We are paying customers in football and if the product isn't good enough, less of us will go. I have no idea what you mean by cycling being able to answer that, not because you're wrong, simply because I have no idea (it, like snooker, not being an area of interest for me).

My "level of analysis" wasn't available 15 years ago but it can't possibly "take things too far". It is a very simple tool that is now used in 98 countries and the only thing that we do is measure performance in golf. Well, it's a very complicated bit of software engineering - being able to capture the infinite possibilities that can, and do, occur in the game into a use-able, user-friendly format with maximum mathematical click economy built in, on both web and App functions - but to the golfer, it performs a very simple set of tasks and produces uncomplicated data output that fits our core objective, albeit it takes a wee bit of effort to understand the full power of the information capability, this being a game where our pros produce over 5,000 individual pieces of data every year, and often considerably more than that.

There are some things in golf that do go too far in my opinion, where over-use of science blinds the user to the reality and obfuscates the simplicity of the objectives of the game (and of its seven different shot types) but performance measurement in the way that we do it does not do this. It only takes 5.5 minutes online and less than 5 minutes on the App to capture the total shots played in a round, helped by certain defaults, both of clubs used by distances from and all putts less than 6 feet being holed, unless we miss them where two additional clicks are required.

As for 14 hours a day etc., different golfers do very different things in practise and it is important to tailor each preparation and planning structure for the individual. One size does not fit all in golf, despite some over the years trying to impose this.

It's not a game for the professional athlete, it's a business and like every business, they get managed differently. In golf however, it's important to empower the golfer to own their own ambitions and their planning and preparation etc., before reflecting and measuring on what they can do better next time. Golf being a game of "never-perfect", there is ALWAYS something that can improve.

 

That makes sense 

Nobody dying in Scotland yet we get daily fucking news bulletins. Scores of folk sadly dying each day of cancer and other things but no focus on that. Numerous folk will die as a result of not being diagnosed early but all focus on a flu bug 

NZ now putting folk with Covid into isolation camps.

enough of this nonsense 

None of the others are friends of mine but I remember you and your pish from various forums that excluded you. I’m going to ignore you as you’ve got issues I can’t solve 

I came on here being objective and you singled me out for your pish. Just returning fire with fire. 
 

stop the pish and engage 

You boys should meet up

This is the only place where you can find folk that don’t think rockets an idiot

Was young Campbell injured today or just completely omitted from the squad ?

Arnhem was an amazing piece of history. A neighbour in the early 70's was a para and did the jump. I was just a young kid and the only one he confided in. Told me all about it and my respect for him, which was already high (due to good instinct) went to a level I've never had for any other human being since. Bravery, planning and efficiency at the optimum. 

Which was nice 

absolute bullshitter rocket 

Wank?

Doing some work for trackman today. Very enjoyable.

I had to look up the definition of phobia. I don't have any "fear" of anything, irrational, extreme or otherwise but sometimes the definition includes "aversion" and I'm definitely averse to "situations" rather than things, people-induced situations.

When bullshit is being spouted, mostly on the telly by politicians or by commentators on Sky, I want them exterminated from the planet and wish I was in possession of the same magic wand that Brian Clough talked about. On reflection I think it's intolerance rather than aversion but people are my only gripe. I don't like humans. And I love humans. I'm a mixed up type of cunt really. 

You’ve clearly got a fear of common sense and decency

I liked the original course but the new(ish) layout - and the club and the members - does nothing for me.

They’d not let you join either

Campbell and Ojo were brutal in the first half so it’s a good three points.

I fear Campbell will be the latest in a long line of much heralded young players who will leave the club never having a decent run of starts
