A strange conspiracy theory or more to it?

[Rowdy]

Big mistake and only serves to ensure the rumours are not going to go away.

"Please Explain" Lawrie?

By far the worst decision by our manager in three years and   makes you wonder who really decides who will start.

Snowblind? No way!

SnowMariner's cracked the code and is the Robert Langdon of this forum.

The Secret is out!..............
..........Joe Spiteri decides who does & doesn't play for the Mariners. Lawrie is just the stooge  8)

can you see a reason other than club politics to field owens ahead of Gumps?

come off it - you're the one putting it forward that there's some sort of conspiracy going on, assuming that absolutely everyone agrees with your proposition that gumps should have been started and that there can be no reason other than shady backroom shenanigans behind him not playing.

unless you've got something other than 'but gumps is better!!!' then just give it up.

Gumps is a hard worker, and yes, he is loved by most - but quite frankly, when he's not injured and/or playing at right back, Owens is the better player.  More of a game changing X-Factor, a superior shot on goal, and more pace around the field..... three things which quite often win a team an important cup/defining league game.

Hate to say it, as I love Gumps as a person, (he's been a great ambassador for the Mariners and the game when not wearing Nazi-ish Mad Monday uniforms) but Owens is less predictable in his general play than Gumps, has more speed around the field and has a lethal shot in his arsenal. Owens is more of a concern to opposing defenders, imho.

I would have marked Owens out of the game in the GF! He offered us nothing. The only way he is superior to Gumps is probably his shooting.  You people scare me sometimes.

It's funny how some think putting a player that was not match fit (and it definately showed) ahead of a player that contributed to a 3-0 win in the previous game was a good decision. Owens may be slightly better when at full fitness but he was'nt, had'nt had game time in the lead up and I still don't understand why.

I think those people who support Owens inclusion must be in the minority though because everyone around me considered it a really bad call.

being a bit too diplomatic there dibo, hes much more than just a c**t

Me thinks we should call Griffo, Ankles - he's 3 feet lower than a c**t
