IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Well - that is a distinct improvement but I may have an outsider favourite - I have just received an e-mail from a poster calling themselves Mediabucuresti. His slogan does appeal to me but I just get this twinge that there may be summat amiss with it. Anyway I will look at it more carefully and post it on his/her behalf later. I suggest that it may require summat eyecatching to beat it as the slogan is evidently of an Eastern European origin - it is brief and punchy - it includes the name, it clearly requests some progress, it includes a Christmassie content and it exudes positivity - but summat aint right. :024: Anyway I will post it later but can I ask you all to bang in yer offerings as I intend to sign off this thread - having accomplished my main objective - and start a new positive campaign thread by 22.00 hours on Monday 19th November. As fer using "Wot a load of feckin shyte" as a campaign header. :018:

It in the feckin blood - it is an integral facet of life. :001: Young Dan is beginning to understand what a feckin roller coaster ride it can be. All feckin strength to him - wish there were more like him.

Is that a question or a campaign slogan ? :023: I am afraid that I will have to deem its content inappropriate - fer fecks sake folks - I am being highly supportive and positive in regard to Marius and I feel isolated and alone. Christmassie slogans ONLY please.

Firstly - Thanks to my good friend SP and to the fair lady from Whitebridge - I suspect the thread needed a piece of light relief and has considerably abetted my mission. D.Macca - We have tried playing our system around Marius and it clearly hasnt worked - but we were playing him like the individual from the video clips - he aint that any more. So play him to his PRESENT strengths and our strengths. Play him on the last defender instead of looking to balls to his feet 30-40 yards from goals - Gey Wyness foraging and moving - get Cowie and Rankin and Black looking to get onto the Marius flicks. BUT I really, really need a punchy campaign head liner: Before I close my argument I have to prepare for the next Marius Niculae thread. I want to start off a type of "Bring Marius Back" or "I'm Backing Marius" campaign in a sort of pre Xmas revolution. I need a campaign slogan that is punchy, hits the point but has a flavour of the Xmas season incorporated in it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And just to get you in a Christmassie Romanian mood here is summat to get ya in the mood as I recall the writings of my old friend - Marcu Beza: I TURN my mind back a few years, and I fancy myself walking in the streets of Bucharest at the approach of Christmas. All is covered in white; the glittering flakes of snow fall incessantly. Every now and then sledges pass with a merry tinkling. In front of the shop windows people gather, wondering at the many beautiful things displayed there. Conspicuous among the crowds by their dress are the newly arrived peasants, come to make their purchases. There is everywhere a hasty, unusual bustle, which gradually diminishes as the night draws near, though it is kept up and prolonged a good while after nightfall in the cafes. Now the snow flashes here and there under the lights?steady street-lights and wandering lights of the sleighs. Detached tunes of gipsy music linger in the air. At the quieter corners one catches, as in sleep, a subdued little dissyllabic cry; and on looking round, there is the chestnut-roaster with his lamp and his purple-red fire, which conveys such a pleasant, warm feeling.

"Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got." Ah, ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, over in France there's a revolution! Ah, ca ira ca ira, ca ira, watch what you say or you'll lose your head! Ah, ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, pass some time, see an execution! Ah, ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, une deux trois and you fall down dead! Ah ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, hear the tale of Marie Antoinette-a! Ah, ca ira, ca ira, ca ira, a bloodier sight you have never seen!

If ya think that is a discourteous report ya should see the celebratory one in the Bucharest Bugle. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Does Rosscoe look worried ?

Feck me - the old ones are the best. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: And TinCan - they look in other peoples dustbins. :017:

Fer fecks sake - what would Norman Hunter, Chopper Harris, Graham Souness, Jimmy Case and co. have to say.

I acually thought it was humerous - My posts are'nt slag offs - its called sarcasm. :023: And lets face it - a snail that feckin size would be pretty awesome.

Oh deer !! But he has the opportunity to buck himself up, grab the stag by the antlers and he could be the next Barry Venison. Is this yet another strong personality clash ??

Caley 100 is winning so far as the others do not have a festive ring to them - like this one though if it could be jazzed up a bit.

:024: Which one is Marius and which one is Bayne ? They both play SPL football !! :029: You really havent got the principles behind a "Spot the difference" conundrum - do you ? :018: Whats the difference between success and failure ? ? - Playing regularly and scoring goals may be the objective for a striker ?

Before I close my argument I have to prepare for the next Marius Niculae thread. I want to start off a type of "Bring Marius Back" or "I'm Backing Marius" campaign in a sort of pre Xmas revolution. I need a campaign slogan that is punchy, hits the point but has a flavour of the Xmas season incorporated in it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am being serious and inviting serious debate. I am also advocating the Return of Marius. I will reveal the main reason fer this thread shortly.

Most people in the Dingwall area simply look in the dustbins.

That is a bit of a feckin wind upp as weel. Anyway - ma points - 1. Marius was signed becos of video tapes, reputation and an old friends act. 2. Marius unwittingly became the "last straw" that ended CC's mangerial stint. 3. Marius should never have been thrown into the deep end at Motherwell and Midden - I seriously feel that decison cost us six points - he was clearly VERY unfit. 4. Marius should have been put straight into a pre season type training regime and played in the reserves - we could even have arranged an extra couple of friendlies to assist him. 5. Marius deserved to be dropped and playing Bayne at Aberdeen and Ibrox was tactically understandable. Not playing him against Muvverwell is baffling. 6. Marius and Brewster was a personality clash just waiting to happen - Its a power thing. 7. I suggested that Savage, Grasser and Brewster all sat down and confronted Marius - from what I am told Brew did that himself and he aint exactly the most tactful of individuals. 8. Marius is quite clearly lacking in pace off the mark and his mobility is also well below par - Why oh why is he not been put through the mill in speed and turning exercise. Ya sort out the deficits and hey presto. 9. IMHO we tried to change our system to accomodate the Marius that was from the videos - the Marius who plays in the "hole". He does not have the pace or movement to do that effectively. Let Wyness work the line - put Marius on the last line of defenders where his touch may play and ball control may play dividends and his pace deficit is less apparent. Get him in and around the 18 yard box. Was Brew forced to accomodate Marius ? 10. Can two personalities like Marius and Brew get on together with so many outside pressures and influences on them both. SO I AM ADVOCATING THAT WE START NICULAE. :crazy07:

Now that is better - informed debate. :003: I agree with a lot that you say - as I have stated in other posts but peeple just see the negative comments and not the positives - I have also been blaming the manner in which the management play him. A **** is somebody who disagrees with me. :blah01: And I suugest that you enrol in a course about Smileyography. :001: and then ya can appreciate the influence that it has in increasing the power of sarcasm and wind up. :023: Perhaps yerself, the other tawts and intersested posters could consider and respond to the following personal views

Anyway enuff of the psychological profiling - back to the thread and the question ? What has Marius done this season to suggest that he is real international class ? What has he done that has got ya wanting to stand on yer feet and applaud. Me - three things - the superb cross fer Cowie at Midden - a brilliant dummy run at Killie (sheer class and probably unnoticed to most) - the simple but effective turn and pass to set up the Dons goal.

What about an exploding set of Xmas Crackers for the next Board meeting. :rotflmao:

Correct - Our next manager - Paul Lambert - will win this accolade.

Do you find that you lose your concentration when you are telling porkies and that your spelling and grammar go awry ? :004: Or do you get your secretary to post at times. :sillywave:

I aint bickering - I am stating facts and passing indisputable critical criticism against Marius and the way he has been played - and that fault is at a feckin management level - but I am going to score the points - and I cant feckin wait. :blah01: BRING BACK MARIUS NICULAE - AND PLAY HIM INTO AN ICT SYSTEM :003: HOW ? - Feckin easy. :023:

Scotty - if ya werent across the pond ya would see fer yerself - apart from the Bairns game Marius and Denzil havent gelled - Denzil is about the only one that has benefitted from the way we have been playing Marius - possibly against many peoples wishes - especially CC :018: Marius has to play in our system and not us into his - Brew has suused that although it was feckin obvious from the start. I am going to take great pleasure - soon - into revealing the real reason behind this thread. :011: But can i ask one more question of our panel - What has Marius done this season to suggets that he is real international class ? What has he done that has got ya wanting to stand on yer feet and applaud. Me - three things - the uperb cross fer Cowie at Midden - a brilliant dummy run at Killie (sheer class and probably unnoticed to most) - the simple but effective turn and pass to set up the Dons goal. Anything else before I explain how to get the best out of him. Not that mny of the erseholes have the footballing know how to formulate that themselves - hopefully Brew and Parky finally have. :029:

I would have said that it was a justifiable decision at the Hill of Dung and at Castle Greyskull but it clearly should have been Marius and Denzil against Muvverwell. As i had advocated but the miserable tawts never noticed. :001:
