JohnnyAbonny Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Oh god not this again. Just saying, some people can watch and follow football obsessively for the better part of their lives and form a decently educated opinion on the subject in question.. A good bunch of us were around the game at an above rudimentary level, or were taught the game by people who were. The point that “we’re just fans” has been made. Every time I read it on here again, I’m writing another poem about Kolo. wbbfan, Noeller, rebusrankin and 3 others 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good bunch of us were around the game at an above rudimentary level, or were taught the game by people who were. The point that “we’re just fans” has been made. Every time I read it on here again, I’m writing another poem about Kolo. The difference between people who know how to watch a game to understand what’s happening, and regular viewing is gigantic. Most people try to follow the ball and miss 90% of the play. Even if you know the X’s and O’s, relative position play etc if you’ve never been taught how to watch film you see a different game. On top of that you have things like understanding positions from a competitive stand point. This is where observations like tipping plays, kick stepping too far too fast etc come in. You also have understanding from the x/o level you get the difference between Dbs coming over to try and make up plays vs being beaten. Football has the most strategic nuance of any main stream sport. A little bit of knowledge goes soo far. Guys like mike booch jbr and a couple others clearly have high level understanding of these various areas. Some people don’t like what they hear because it doesn’t match what they see and they can’t counter the points on merit so they attack the posters. And when I see posters attacking those people it just tells me all I need to know about those posters. They love the bandy about not a real fans, or hot hand fallacy etc. as if what happened here 4 and 5 years ago is more important than what we see on the field today. 6 minutes ago, JohnnyAbonny said: 5 bucks says it’s Ed Tait.

Mike Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 1 hour ago, TommyClements said: I don’t disagree with some of their actual points about lineup decisions. Although blaming Thomas, Kramdi and Gauthier for everything is getting old. Mostly I find it funny that two guys off the street literally say they could run the CFL club better. Who wants “Booch” and Mike in charge of anything? Shows how much you know, I personally think Kramdi is way better than “Booch” gives him credit for. My personal crutch is blaming Bighill for everything. HE STINKS! wbbfan, MOBomberFan, Noeller and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 2 hours ago, TommyClements said: Perfectly fine to voice your opinion as a fan. But the arrogance of two dudes named “Booch” and “Mike” on these boards is hilarious. bombers have some real problems, O’Shea has some real flaws. They’ve also won two grey cups and four straight west titles, unlike two dudes named “Booch” and “Mike”. Not exactly true bro. Perhaps they didn’t have a @Boochbut they certainly got a @Mike you know O’Shea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
