Turkey v Rovers matchday thread - Boxing Day Special

you might not like this tough love, but all of you need your heads banging together.

1) it's immature

2) it's like 2 bald men fighting over a comb.  whilst we fight over '7 goal' top scorer Taylor, Barnet fans are laughing their socks off.

3) Life is NOT black and white.  It is grey.  Taylor is not the greatest player, but also not the worst.  he's not poo. he's not brilliant.  He plays in the 5th tier.  He is what he is.

I'm not a Taylor 'hater' but I am consistently disappointed how the debate about him resembles a tennis match. If he doesn't score for 4 matches the 'haters' gain ground, and each time he scores people pipe up about how good he is and how he's proving the haters wrong. If I every hear that useless phrase 'he's due a goal', or even 'the floodgates will open', ever again I will string someone up. He's not due a goal. NO-ONE is due a goal. It's that sort of rubbish talk and bertie big bollocks approach that got us into non-lge. No-one has the right to score goals or be successful in footy just because of their general play, skill or our history.

I think we can all agree his all round work is good, and his goalscoring is poor. '7 goals' just proves the old adage of 'lies, damned lies and statistics'. 3 are pens. 4 goals from open play and he's played nearly every game this season. Every fan who has watched him will effortlessly recall several very clear chances he has missed. And hopefully most will also recall some excellent touches and a good work rate.

Defenders won't like playing him, but goalkeepers will.

Their keeper most definitely fouled Taylor in the box. How nothing was given I'll never know. Obviously it annoyed the travelling faithful off and he got abuse for the rest of the game. When they scored their second he went mental celebrating in front of us, even slid on his knees. His face when it was ruled out was priceless. He got so much poo for it. Hilarious. I'll be ribbing him for on New Years' Day too.
