Supras Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 correct as in its not an issue at all or correct as in you're an idiot ? Well, to say he's only scored goals in League One, prior to this season, is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well, to say he's only scored goals in League One, prior to this season, is correct. As it happens it's not correct. He scored for Ipswich against Cardiff in the Championship before he moved to Huddersfield. Rhodes scores in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes scores in the Championship Yes, well, I actually knew SOMETHING like that would come up but it still has no relevance whatsoever, I'm afraid. Rhodes not scoring at a high enough level is a legitimate concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Rhodes not scoring at a high enough level is a legitimate concern. It should be a concern, yes, but Kenny Miller not scoring at any level for quite some time should be more of an issue if you plan on picking him to lead the line. Mackail Smith and Rhodes should be miles ahead of Miller in the pecking order. Jamie Mackie too in my opinion. Miller works hard, but no longer has pace and his eye for goal has disappeared quicker than it turned up during that brief stint at Rangers. He is past it and should not get near the Scotland squad these days, never mind the starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes not scoring at a high enough level is a legitimate concern. It has direct relevance to your assertion: Well, to say he's only scored goals in League One, prior to this season, is correct. Your assertion wasn't correct. Of course I get the general drift of your argument, but your assertion wasn't a general one. It was a specific claim that he had only scored goals in League One prior to this season, a claim which you seemed sure enough about to proclaim it's veracity. If you wish to proclaim the veracity of your statements quite so adamantly then I suggest you check that they are actually true before posting. Of course if you really knew that "something like this would come up" you would have couched your claim in less unequivocal terms, for example: "to say he's only scored goals in League One, prior to this season, is largely true."

Well, thanks, that one, or two, goal(s) he scored years ago in the CCC make a massive difference - and in disproving my assertion you have successfully over taken the God Particle as the breakthrough of the year. The funny thing is I actually knew there was a very good chance he'd popped up with a goal much earlier in his career, but it bears as much relevance to anything as Sears scored in the Premier League once - remember that? - and this makes him, I dunno, good? I could have been more couched but why bother? Seeing this verbose stilted response was more than worth it - now back to the discussion. Saying he has only scored goals in League One prior to this season is not "daft" at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill miss you terribly btw. That is a lot of shite and you know it. I've had a job before that required very little training and paid twice as much as minimum wage, does that mean I was a more skilled or better worker than others on lesser wages?

I would guess that that the average wage in the SPL is about double that, perhaps a bit more at maybe 3k per week. (It is only a guess though to be fair.) Either way I doubt there is much in it.

dinnamess Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 there 24 teams in the league, the top 10 or so pay more in wages and transfer fees than any spl club bar celtic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not from a money point of view) It's possible the larger league allows youngsters more of a chance to come through and shine if they're any good.

dinnamess Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 definitely, less pressure allows teams to blood kids, thats one of the reasons we should have a bigger league here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
