The pre-match HUDDLE

[Easy 10]

Anyone else getting a bit pissed off with this ? "Oooh look at our public team BONDING just before kickoff - what an unstoppable UNIT we are eh ?"

Except that 15 minutes later we're generally a couple of goals adrift and playing like a bunch of flids. Yeah, team spirit. HOO f***ing RAY. I say BAN THE HUDDLE. Its done NAFF ALL to galvanise us as a team so far this season. And I'm just waiting for the day when the ref allows the oppo to kick off whilst our mob are still in the middle of their armlocked, head-bowed mutual-masturbation session. Its an accident WAITING to happen.

If you want a little kissy-huggy touchy-feely before kickoff then for CHRISTS sake do it in the dressing room before you come out. Spare us the "here we go lads lets let em' have it" spur-talk on the pitch before kickoff. Its POINTLESS and EMBARRASSING.

Completely agree, Easy

 

[Norman Potting]

All a bit American and Girly that sort of thing, never have liked that touchy - feely crap.

 

[BensGrandad]

I agree it does nothing for team spirit and judging by our home results it achieves very little.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Plymouth Argyle - one of the first teams to do it, every club seems to do it these days. Must be in fashion.

Celtic do it don't they.

Unless our results would be worse without the huddle?


We used to do it before our league hockey matches at Uni. Doubt it made the slightest bit of difference, but it kept the opposition waiting. Can't do any harm.

Our lads should do a Haka!

In the case of FDM, that might well have some intimidation value. In the case of Dean Cox....probably not so much.

When was the last time that a team that performs the Haka win anything of importance?

Didn't Arsenal start doing it before everyone started following suit.

 

[Giraffe]

Agreed, its a load of pointless shit, as this season has conclusively proven

 

[Slough Seagull]

Didn't Arsenal start doing it before everyone started following suit.

sounds about right for something so shit

 

[Paxton Dazo]

I think Spurs do one too, but because I'm so cool, I dont get in the ground till about 3.01pm normally.

 

[El Presidente]

Surely a daisy chain and a couple of digestives will help them bond more?

 

[Russell Slade's hat]

I mean what actually gets said in the huddle?
. . Proably whats allready been said in the changing room

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Performance levels deteriorated ever since we started lining up in front of the Directors Box. Time to put a stop to that.

I hate it when teams do hudles, so cringeworthy.
