Garry Nelson's Left Foot

You're mistake was comparing Bobby Zamora to Garry Nelson.
Oi!!!
You're mistake was comparing Bobby Zamora to Garry Nelson.
These types of threads are exactly why I rarely comment on football on NSC, the usual reactionary drivel from people who haven't got a clue.
It's all got a tad embarrassing IMHO. The powers-that-be obviously thought that by signing BZ on the back of a truly dreadful season, they'd at least reinvigorate the faithful.........Sadly he has next to zero impact on a game. Maybe the 'never go back' brigade had a point after all. Might as well have signed Peter Ward on a one year deal in the Summer, for all the difference it's made.
You were taking about embarrassment I believe!
hindsight
/ˈhʌɪn(d)sʌɪt/
noun
understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened or developed.
You call things as you see them at the time.
Perhaps that's not the time to post on NSC?
Yeah, you're probably right. Just stick with the herd for an easy life.
It's easy to hit back and make excuses. But there is no class in that, why not admit you were wrong? Many posters were laying into Zamora and the club for signing him before he'd even played a few games. There's nothing wrong with having a strong opinion, however reserving judgement is often a good idea.Meh You call things as you see them at the time. Any random snide can dig up an old post with the benefit of hindsight in the hope of making themselves look ever so smart. Just makes them look quite the opposite

No you look like a **** just have the balls to admit it.
It's all got a tad embarrassing IMHO. The powers-that-be obviously thought that by signing BZ on the back of a truly dreadful season, they'd at least reinvigorate the faithful, coax a few of the Withdean Five Thousand out of retrement and sell a shitload of shirts. Turns out the other summer signings were so decent that nobody was really clamouring for BZ to be given some game time, and the vast majority are too young to even sing the proper Zamora song, opting instead for the generic Seven Nation Army crap, And BZ's cameo appearances are just that. Sadly he has next to zero impact on a game. Maybe the 'never go back' brigade had a point after all. Might as well have signed Peter Ward on a one year deal in the Summer, for all the difference it's made.
The Hemed situation is not comparable as Hemed has been playing regularly, is fit and just about everyone would agree that he is off form/or simply not good enough. In October Zamora had hardly played, had an early season injury and was clearly playing catch up. It was far too early to write him off.Too late sadly. Same as it ever was. You either take a stance based on the recent evidence of your own eyes, or you don't. Would be a dull old message board if you didn't. I've already posted on the 'Hemed Is A Bit Rubbish' or similar thread. Tho if he scores two goals in his next game, snides without the balls to state an opinion will be crawling out of the woodwork and queueing up to say Told You So. Oh well, just have to live with that
Yes, I'm rather inclined to agree with you.I love these egg on face bounces
