Darts v Truro (Sat 30th Mar 3pm)

[Kentc]

Ozymandias, most probably best you don't watch the highlights, you will have to see 2 lovely crosses by Ryan leading to knockdowns that should have been put away & a clever bit of play to shoot for Elliot to follow up & score. You may have enjoyed the adverts more
More seriously I think you now have to have a you tube account (free) to watch without adverts.

Well said gentleman. Let's face it, without him we ain't got a hope in hell's chance of making the playoffs. To even suggest playing Murphy or Coker front of Ryan is quite embarrassing, they just don't beat their man and get the ball over. Personally, I wish Ryan never returned, at least we might have a better idea of how good our management team really are. Its the old guard that have saved our dynamic duo's backsides.

WITHOUT Ryno we don’t have hope in hells chance of making the playoffs? You got me for a moment I forgot it’s April first because that can be your only explanation.
How would you feel about getting to playoffs without Lee Noble?
But then again he doesn’t have his LN8 fan club does he.
To be honest I could stand around most games, not track back, not win headers and lose control of 90% of the ball. I can’t whip in a cross like him though granted but it will be good when people see past the favouritism of one player and actually look at his performance.
He’s been awful the last few games and that’s nothing new.
If Lee Noble played as bad as him he’s be nowhere near the first team yet he gets away with it becuase he has a good cross occasionally and he’s popular.
Not good enough for Concord but our saviour, what a joke.

Spike I know your a RH7 fan but I’m not aiming this at you I think your posts are well balanced and a good read even if I have different opinions.

As I said already, we've had this debate so often it is absolutely pointless, but it will come as no surprise that what you have written above is an opinion that I do not share. I respect your opinion, I just wish you could present it in a more constructive way, without comments like Lee Noble "doesn't have his LN8 fan club". That is a daft thing to say as Lee surely has the biggest fan club of all and is clearly the fans favourite. He's won so many MOTM votes that he's had the website award sewn up since Christmas, he is widely considered to be our best player and I will be astounded if he doesn't win the supporters player of the season award when we vote in a couple of weeks.

Putting the last couple of games aside, my view is that Ryno hasn't ripped up any trees, but he's had a decent season and when he and Ben occupy our flanks, we look more balanced and a much better team than we do without them. In fact, their presence has contributed massively to our improvement over the past few months. So I would say that Ryno is not in the team because he's "popular", he's popular because of what he does when he's in the team. I find it strange that some people don't see this but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Finally, I do take issue with your inference that Ryno escapes criticism that would be more forthcoming for other players (in your example, Noble). You can't seriously believe that. He has divided opinion for over a decade and I would argue that he's been the subject of more debate than any other player since the forum began.
