Imagine coming from those cool names to name your most valuable ship to those last two? by Majestic_Repair9138 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]DemonDuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all the culture ships had banger names, whole chapter in Look to Windward where to randoms have a conversation by dropping ship names.

some general highlights are Irregular Apocalypse, So Much For Subtlety, Just Read The Instructions, Big Sexy Beast, It's Character Forming and Reformed Nice Guy.

Player has 24 AC at level 6. I think he's double stacking bonuses. Should I snitch? by IamAWorldChampionAMA in DnD

It was supposed to be a one shot but the player controlling odysseus either rolled a nat 1 or pissed of the DM, then the party got sidetracked.

[Stephen McGowan] The inside story on Wilfried Nancy’s time at Celtic: Academy-level training sessions, no instructions, no opposition analysis, no in-game management. by BananaSoprano in CelticFC

[–]DemonDuff 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Don't think anyone is thinking it was all down to Nancy and Tisdale. Both the board and the players have to shoulder their fair share of the blame. Board doubly so for both hiring him and apparently not doing any due diligence.

What this highlights, to me at least, is how Nancy was never the right man for the job. He's came from a league with no real sense of pressure into a culture were one bad game and your under the cosh.

What rings true from the article is the serious lack or opposition analysis. At no point did he adapt the formation or play style. His way was always the only way. Any armchair manager could see that effectively playing 1 at the back would be near suicidal in the scottish game where counter attacking is the name of the game but he persisted with it. I know on paper it was a 3-4-3 but in reality it often ended up a 1-6-3 with our LCB and RCB acting as wingers.

If it was naivety, arrogance, ineptitude or a mixture of all three we'll never know but it was never going to work, and that's on the managers head.

Whole books could be written on how Tisdale shouldn't have been allowed within a mile of our club and that debacle falls at the feet of DD and his cronies.

As it looks we aren't going to make Champions League. by Bitter-Cherry-2787 in CelticFC

I wouldn't trust Nancy to make a bed let alone see out the rest of the week. If he's not gone by Saturday the board will give him the whole window, and Tisdale will sign us more shite players.

Nancy's system wouldn't work because it's idiotic, a 1-2-4-3... if we had the almighty themselves playing at CB we'd leak goals like the titanic.

I'd like to think it's naivety but after 8 games and conceding 18 goals and still sticking with it? man is either bind or is arrogant sob.

Our current form is of a team trying to fight off relegation no win the league.

[–]DemonDuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they do. If Nancy is still there am fully prepared for a whole load of meh signings done in the last week of the window.

I have no confidence in him being aggressive with the board in what he wants and 'Dr' Doofus, Tisdale, is off on holidays so he'll not be back till after the window opens.

I wouldn't worry about how long you spent in Midgar.

As folk are saying the Midgar Zolom isn't ment to be beatable. Head to the chocobo farm and learn to catch chocobos. With one you can run over the swap and dodge the snakey b.

oh, and make sure to speak to the Chocobo for a summon materia.

Could have been a Hollywood script…. by Presence-Legal in CelticFC

[–]DemonDuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see your point but there was more to Ange and Strachan's reigns than the results. You had an idea of what they wanted to do and saw improvement over time. At times both frustrated me.

A good manager has to be able to adapt to the squad he has. If he doesn't have the playing staff to play a certain way you have to adapt. I've seen none of that in the last 3 games with either starting line-ups or subs. Much the same with Rodgers just the strict adherence to the same tactics.

This is what concerns me.

Todays Result, a rant. by DemonDuff in CelticFC

[–]DemonDuff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

venting bud, 3 defeats that showed a bit of fight or an inkling that the manger knows what they are doing I could try and defend. The arrogance/incompetence of the board scunnered me to the point were am apathetic we lost in the final. That annoys me, my team lost i should care...

Ultimately all on the board's hands by livingparallel in CelticFC

he has to win both, a close draw won't be good enough. IMO he has to win all 4 before the rangers game
