Gribz 743 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Great bit of writing - granted - nobody can deny that. But as for a match preview - sorry its not a preview for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,494 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I loved reading that whether it is a real match preview or not. Absolutely top notch writing. Brilliant. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,114 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I can understand why it wouldn't be to everyone's tastes so no issue with criticism. But we're after variety here so are happy to accept all styles of writing! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amms 0 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Great bit of writing - granted - nobody can deny that. But as for a match preview - sorry its not a preview for me. That's a fair criticism. I've done a handful of these now and each time I apologise to Zappa for the lack of match analysis. Truth is I've no great insight, I'm no more tactically aware than the next supporter and less so than some. This is fourth time we've played Stenhousemuir in 6 months, the accumulative score is 11-0, I struggle to bring any fresh perspective on that. I did try and add some information about the sides but it's fairly superficial I accept that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,114 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 It's a fair point about familiarity. There's only so many ways (and words) in which you can discuss the same group of players playing the same 9 teams 4 times a season. As such, bringing some analogies or supplementary info can make what could be a chore into something more interesting. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is arguable that the analogy was generic and a bit long winded and I did find myself wondering how and when he was going to link it to Rangers v Stenhousemuir; but as I said earlier it is one of the best pieces of writing I have read on here and a very hard act to follow, which is why I was asking if there are any wolves in the neighbourhood of Arbroath. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The preveiew practically writes itself I was thinking more along the lines of an upturn in the number of kippers chasing the dragon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
