This is the main reason Fulham are bottom

Ageism and a stupid manager in Jol has cost us dearly.

[ToodlesMcToot]

So you assume. It's quite likely that the reasons for his leaving us were more than ageism. There were the rumors of his having a clause in his contract that if he were fit he must start. If this is true, perhaps Fulham used their smarts for a change and deemed that too much of an ask at that point in his career. Perhaps he demanded other contratual terms (money, contract length, etc.) that Fulham couldnt in good conscience agree with.

Perhaps he's the reason we no longer hear about the chickens at Motspur  :58:

If you had your way, the main training accessory would be a zimmer frame! (In response to original post)

[Blanco]

Yeah yeah.

We all know you love Schwarzer and hate Jol.

Snore bore.

[Tooting legend]

Get off this forum Bateman unless your going to post something that's positive every post you put up is full off crap.....and to be honest we don't need it at the moment or ever to that fact!!!!!

You're not Mrs Schwarzer are you by any chance?

Each and every thread you post is seconds after that plug is pulled out of your arse fantasising about Schwarzer and getting one over on referees. Massive, enormous...gimp.

The reason we are failing this year is because of one piece of advice to Khan when he first took over and that was "we do not need to overhaul the squad this summer".

Guys and dolls,

Lets cut the personal abuse please or the thread gets it.

[MJG]

I had no real issue with Mark leaving. I felt his time was up and did not like the idea that he may have had a 100% start clause.
I don't think it matters one jot who would have been in Goal this season we would almost certainly be in bottom three anyway.

[Tooting legend]

Burt, you need to have a quite word in Batemans ear it's his posts that's getting everyone's back up, every post he puts up has the same reaction. Cheers mate.

[Nick Bateman]

We are bottom of the league and that's a fact!  Because you haven't analyzed the goals we conceded, so many were saveable it would have added enough points to make Fulham mid-table.

And your argument is so weak you resort to personal abuse to my valid point that a GREAT goalkeeper was given to Chelsea despite Jol's many post-match interviews where he praised Schwarzer's performance.

Spurs have kept their aging goalie (Brad Freidel) who is WORSE than Schwarzer, and Mark has been excellent in every game for our rivals this season.

I also thought that was a decent link to showing what we missed this season - some have forgotten.

I don't know why everyone keeps responding to these trolling posts.

A more obvious troll I have never seen!

[Baszab]

I don't think it's a wind-up at all - Stek's two crucial mistakes against WBA and Cardiff away were absolutely critical - just think if we had got off to an away win at WBA in Magath's first game - that pathetic fumble was really costly

11 Players on the pitch. You cannot blame one player. The team has been poor. It's a team game!

[RaySmith]

I also think we've missed Mark's experience and reliability this season. He's not too old - for a keeper.

The idea was that Mark was coming to the end of his career, and wanted the nod to be our main keeper- but I doubt it would have been in his contract- and thus was allowed to go when Stek was brought in, who would obviously be number one after paying so much for him, and with his pedigree.

I think we've missed Mark a lot, and his absence has affected the back four, but it's hard to argue that this is the main reason for our demise, though I think it's a factor, and another example of misjudgement by the club.

I tend to agree with him, specially the Rooney stuff.

What am I missing?

We akk know why because we have all been watching. :dead horse:

I am confused too Lillieboy.  One states one's opinion, an observation and it was the first time I'd seen that Schwarzer montage on Youtube and it reminded me of what has been missed.

At least RaySmith has an intelligent cognizant point to make also.

As for "trolling", I have far better things to do than attempt to make cheap comments merely to get a reaction.  I am just trying to make a point; the goalkeeper is the MOST important position and when Jol allowed him to leave I was truly gutted.  One hoped Stekenleburg would be nearly as good but he was not and it took many gross errors for some Fulham followers to see this was the case, something I was lambasted for saying several months ago.

One thing we should all not forget is that we are all on the same side wanting Fulham to stay up: we simply have different ways of expressing it.
