If countries like Holland,Luxembourg,Greece etc could do it so could we.......we f****d it pure and simple.....having had some of the great purebred family dogs created over mens life times from around the world what do we have to show for it......................some good lurchers !!!......If thats not a sporting tragedy i dont know what is.
-
Theres probably a lot of truth in that which brought about my previous comment about the Dutch...while their main players were concentrating on winning with bulldogs our main players were concentrating on how to make the most £££'s from bulldogs.....hence they ended up with families of dogs that stood the test of time and we ended up with a mish mash of nothing !

Im a West Ham fan mate im not a glory hunter .....yes he did.....then again far lesser dogs would never of made ch having suffered the abuse that poor dog suffered im a sucker for a good zero to hero story. I guess them Rom litters are just not up to it eh
-
Thats my point nobody thought them worthy of preserving......didnt Bills owner get rid of all his Reid stuff to make way for Lady Pedro dogs. Again,reasons can be seen as excuses and proper people dont make excuses for dogs Smokey stopped and thats that...whether him arriving in the Uk with heartworm had anything to do with it,whether him not being the same dog that beat Sinbad had anything to do with it who knows a lot of people thought he would walk through Max and so no amount of reasons/excuses change the outcome or the fact that Max was an outstanding bulldog. Maybe

If Brits were indeed ahead in terms of blood why would you say there hasnt been a pure family bred dog over here for many years ?.....id be very surprised if there is a dog alive today in England with a true pedigree let alone a good pedigree......Like anything else quality speaks for itself when somethings good people preserve it as has been done with several lines.......it doesnt say a lot for British dogmen if there is virtually nothing left of great dogs from only 25/30 years ago which is a blink in historical terms. As regards the big yards i agree......what was we saying about Ed Reid a
-
In terms of certain individual dogs i wouldnt argue......in terms of blood i would say we was way behind the Dutch.......which i think has been proven over time.
-
" thin on the ground ".....theres your answer.....some bloodlines that carried not even a tenth of the number of Reid dogs have aged and been preserved like a fine wine yet the Reid dogs were left to go to ruin. Some people dont look further than the end of their nose its like Jeep being a 17 point rom dog, so what the dog was lined to literally thousands of bitches over his lifetime,compared to a 7 point rom who only bred 7 bitches ....it doesnt take a brain surgeon to work out which the better producer was !!
-
Not sure id call it a fact...its certainly a bold statement and an opinion id respect but not agree with personally. Yeah but you southern mob from the big smoke never did give the jocks the respect they deserved Not everyone.......i just never understood how the work of some good dogmen created glory for somebody who never worked a dog in his life....im certainly not about to get into arguments that still go on 30 years later but the reality is Reid marketted a " brand " very well but was never any more than a business/shop and as such luck played a huge part in his success lets face it

Whats peoples problem it was only the other week there was folk on here saying how they would " do whatever it took " to come out on top in a fight......car,knife,bat whats the difference.

Only thing that makes me laugh with ed is the way he words things. Maybe its the age? Not gonna say he goes on like mayfield but he talks like a sales man. Sees something and blows it up more than what it is and uses all sorts of words. Nice enough bloke though not slagging him in anyway. Thats probably because he,s always been a salesman.......doesnt mean he didnt produce some exceptional dogs though.
-
Thats why i expected you to be climbing the walls at Poyet not putting his best side out. Look at Bradford now.....they,ve drawn Reading in the quarters and must feel like they have a real chance of getting to Wembley......what a feeling for their fans.....supporting a premiership club i shouldnt really be jealous of them but i am !
-
What fans want and what managers want are rarely the same thing......as true fans of a club we shouldnt give a shit about bank balances and squad rotation we should want to win the next game......for most of us the cup competitions are the only realistic chance of glory,to me any fan who puts survival in front of glory are not competetive enough i remember Wolves fans going absolutely nuts the other year when Mick Mccarthy put out a reserve squad for a cup game.... and rightly so......30 years ago even 20 or 15 years ago it would of been unheard of to put a weaker side out for cup games.......

Which relay team was that Gnash? Out of interest, I looked at the Olympic relay teams but could only find Asafa Powell who tested for the stimulant Oxilophrine. I can't find anything on the others.... I'm not trying to pull you up on it as such but if it was true it'd be a fairly heavy piece of evidence! Hence why I briefly looked. You can pull me up all you like chief if im mistaken im mistaken.... without trawling all round the internet i couldnt tell you i just remember having a conversation last year with someone who knew a lot more than i did and that was his take......maybe i

Normally anything with " pit bull " in the title pricks my ears up but i cant even think of anything worthy of comment on such good for nothing monstrosities !

If everything about the car is the same and its purely down to skill of the driver then thats fair competition.....but regulation doesnt stop teams trying to gain an edge which technically can be massive differences......define cheating ?.......surely its something against the rules to gain an advantage so if 2 people start a race on juice how are either of them gaining an advantage........it might not sit right with people who are content to merely compete but for those who aspire to reach the top its the reality of world level sport and has been for years........certainly beats jumping in a

Slightly different but my daughter got me a dvd set for Xmas called Life Below Zero about people living above the arctic circle i found it fascinating,many of them are living purely off what they hunt.....heres a quick clip im not sure if it was ever showed on Uk tv but its a real good series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAssLS-isuc

The Sunderland centre forward who took 5 touches to control the ball from 7 yards out cant blame the pitch,Adam Johnson dribbling the ball round his own penalty box and giving it away cant blame the pitch they were basic mistakes that cost the game.....Ronnie O Sullivan would destroy me on a battered up table down the local club just as easily as he would batter me at the Crucible at the end of the day Premiership players " should " have the beating of third division players regardless.......but thats what we love about the Fa Cup.......Max im amazed your not going up the wall about Poyet leav

I cant see an old american outlaw being on the gear he would of just let his guns do the talking Top level sport is about winning not being honest with yourself,in my opinion somethings only cheating if your opponent isnt doing it.......at the end of the day everything in sport is performance enhanced as long as a game/race/fight starts fair the rest is down to whatever edge can be gained....look at a sport like motor racing they are starting the race with different speed cars how can that be fair ......to me the 100m sprint is pretty much as pure as sport can get so naturally any edge t

fair play to you , i hope all works out fine for you all , a few weekends a year i get the basha out a bit of kit take my rods & spend quality time on the coast ok not the same but cant beat a bit of freedom from the rat race Same here i kind of missed out on all the camping stuff that young boys do with their mates so im making up for it now .....probably get some odd looks a couple of burly cockneys pitching up in the mountains of Cyprus for a few months at a time but f**k it you only live once !

Exactly what i was thinking.

How well do you know Poyet as a person Max ?......dont get into making that mistake mate i thought for years our John Lyall was a cracking fella and a great manager,then one day i met him and realised he was just a great manager Its so easy to do this " sack the manager " thing ive been guilty of it myself before.......we had some dopes at West Brom yesterday calling for Allardyce,s head but the reality is we,re having a great season,apart from keep playing Nolan i dont have a problem with Allardyce he is true to himself and us as fans he doesnt pretend to have any affinity with us as we don

The Jamaican sprinters who tested positive had the same coach as Bolt,it would be naive to think he was the only clean athlete......personally i think out of that little group Bolt was seen as the poster boy and a worldwide name far too high profile to be caught " cheating "......the damage not just to athletics but to sport in general would of been catastrophic had Bolt tested positive similarly as it was back in the Carl Lewis days.......Lewis years later admitting to juicing as Bolt may well do in years to come. There used to be a company called Balco who were the main Lab that supplied

Which one !!....the day was full of disastrous incidents from the minute we set out......from people getting killed on the motorways,to 500 of our fans not being allowed in the ground due to being late,to starting fights with West Brom fans,to starting fights with each other.........to a football match where the players didnt turn up,a manager who brings off a forward and puts on a defender when his sides 3 nil down.....a useless c**t like Nolan whos like a 9 year old that gets the captaincy because his dads the manager.....a useless c**t like Downing who spends difficult games hiding like a m

Thanks for that Pesky seems theres a fair bit of him on Youtube i,ll have a flick through....quite an interesting chap.........my attempt wouldnt be anywhere with weather quite as harsh as Scotland but will be good to get some general ideas cheers
