Ray wallace never scored, but he was dog ****e afterall.

I'm sure Hughes actually hit the stantion in the goal but had it dissallowed.

Mike pickering, played every game ( i think) in our promotion season then left, sure he never scored.

Did Barry venison score?

 

He 'scored' against Leeds in a 3-0 defeat, which would have made it 1-1. It hit the net, then bounced back out so quickly that nobody saw it, and I think a goal-kick was given

Mark Hughes holds quite a unique record for us.

 

He must be the only forward to have got more yellow cards than goals - quite something for a forward.

 

What on earth does "quite a unique record" mean?

 

If it's not unique, then he is not the only forward to have got more yellow cards than goals.

Do you have to go to uni for 5 years and work in an office for 2 to be that big a pedant? :D

 

No, but it helps. I think being old helps as well.

 

Thankyou for showing an interest and making a note of my posts.

 

(actually, I'm not that big a pedant, otherwise I would have picked up Appy for saying "may of been". I did have to restrain myself , though, as I find "should of", "could of", "must of" etc. particularly irritating. Is it teaching standards that have dropped, or do they simply not teach English in schools anymore?).

Over twenty years ago I was a governor at a top Hampshire secondary school. I confronted the head english teacher as to why they no longer taught english grammar and she replied "There is no evidence that teaching english grammar leads to them writing better english". I think it's because the teachers don't know the difference, myself.

 

Having said that, I would not want anybody to feel that they would be criticised, ridiculed, corrected for anything that they might contribute to these message boards. Let he who is without sin.....

We must have another RB that didn't score? Any of them (even if they only played for 5 minutes) would be better than Ostlund.

 

Have you fotgotten about Tomasz Hajto? If so, please tell me how you managed to do it.

 

Lloyd James and Phillip Ifil would be better options I guess.

Partly true, WG - in the 70's/80's there was an ethos that teaching grammar inhibited writing (possibly true but scrapping it was not the answer) and it's only in the last ten years that grammar has been reintroduced into the curriculum with the advent of the Literacy Hour. The problem is that the teachers who are now expected to teach grammar were not taught it themselves...

If you read my post again instead of correcting potential errors you will notice that I implied he 'must be' as in 'could be' not that 'he is' the only forward to received more yellow cards than scored goals.

 

Hope this helps.
