This forum is super against trying players in new positions to an almost autistic level. .
Alot taller and stronger no?Worked with Dion
Different as formstion chsnge isnt as drastic.to be fair, it was the same when people suggested trying to play with wing backs and 3 at the back. Those suggestions used to get pelters.
wonder how that's gone recently !
Think it’s more the aggressive resistance/denial afterwards that makes people bring it up. Also not really an isolated incidentId say that suggesting Trent Alexander Arnold at CM is a reasonable suggestion so saying another RB could play there isnt that far fetched. Granted TAA is suggested as an option there due to his technical attributes, whereas Dabo's main strengths are probably physicality and aggression, although he has shown really good technique and has an excellent picture of the game in his head, and physicality and aggression arent exactly a bad thing in the middle of the park.
I wouldn't play him at CM purely because he has performed so well in one of the most important positions on the pitch in our formation, but wouldnt say him playing CM is a bad enough call to be shot down the way it has when its clearly just a throwaway idea.
Fucking hell, make a point but comparing forum debate to autism is a dick move even for you
Which one? The ridiculous dabo suggestion? You can't debate you just throw insults around. Clearly you opinion isn't shared and you go all defensive calling us morons and arseholes. I'm sure your family would be proud.Read the post again arsehole
Find the thread where I have suggested Dabo SHOULD play midfield and I’ll gladly discuss it with youWhich one? The ridiculous dabo suggestion? You can't debate you just throw insults around.

Piss off, I’m on the spectrum and it’s fine usage.
I hate it when people pretend not to understand how metaphors work for outrage. Saying something is like something is not equating their importance, otherwise you’d need to scrub the majority of great literature. After all comparing fascist regimes that killed millions with a bunch of farm animals must be terrible.
How about we keep Dabo as a Rwb
Plag Dacosta as a Lwb and have Mason as a Sub or turn him into a different position
FREE role surely?Soooo what position for Mason, reverse cowboy? :joyful::joyful:
Im sure We used him there if I remember rightly lolHow about moving Isaac Osbourne to RB?? Just an idea...

I agree, similes certainly have a place in debate and conversation.Piss off, I’m on the spectrum and it’s fine usage.

I dont know just somewhere sensible and starts with the letter B and ends with enchSoooo what position for Mason, reverse cowboy? :joyful::joyful:

However, I hate it when people throw out "light hearted" (for want of a better description) comparisons about retarded people and autism, when describing the fallacy of someone's arguments, whether that person is on the spectrum or not.
You're obviously at the high functioning end of the spectrum, but some aren't so lucky. Please remember that when casually throwing these comparisons around.
I usually try and ignore it, but it is creeping into peoples arguments more and more on here.
Yeah I am high functioning and one of my bug bears is the condescending way all autistic people are treated as if they’re low functioning and in need of protection as special snowflakes TBH. Many many autistic people are great and robust. My partner is also on the spectrum and her brother is far further down it, we joke about it in these terms (“autistic screeching”, “don’t be so autistic”, etc) and it normalises it in the same way I take the piss out of a mates big ears or being short. The fact is that most of these phrases likely comes from autistic people themselves makes me uncomfortable with others feeing they need to police the language TBH. I’ve got a mate in a wheelchair and we joke about being “crippled” too. That’s actual inclusion IMO, I treat him the same as anyone else I’m mates with and I don’t walk on eggshells.
The wider point still stands even if o wasn’t autistic, which is this level of language policing is ridiculous. Ive had it before using the word “cancer” when that’s the proper usage of the word and the disease is named after it! Same with “rape”, these words have multiple meanings and our language is beautiful because of how it can use them. Stopping someone saying “you’re being autistic” or “Sisu are a cancer on the club” or “Joy has raped the club” does literally nothing to help autistic people, cancer patients, or sexual assault survivors, it’s just Poe faced virtue signalling that if anything serves to further other minorities and make people more on edge around them.

I do agree with you to an extent, I'm happy to banter and take the mickey out of my mates for their physical and (to a degree) mental flaws.Yeah I am high functioning and one of my bug bears is the condescending way all autistic people are treated as if they’re low functioning and in need of protection as special snowflakes TBH.

But surely, the problem is, every fucker and his dog is literally just queuing up to take offence at every possible opportunity, and then they start bleating until they get an apology.I think, the point here is...it’s not all about you and how you interact with people in your family circle. It’s about understanding that all people are different in their values, their understanding, their reactions, the way they perceive things and, ultimately, the way they behave.
What you said about your own autism experience isn’t wrong, what’s wrong here is the lack of understanding that not everyone shares your way of thinking, and then calling them a ‘snowflake’ because of it... that’s just a tad Trumpesque.
So, with all that in mind, if you’ve offended someone that doesn’t share your light hearted, lardy-dar autism-angle, apologize ...so we can all move on and be offended by something football related...yeah ?
But surely, the problem is, every fucker and his dog is literally just queuing up to take offence at every possible opportunity, and then they start bleating until they get an apology.
If someone chooses to take offence when none was intended, then that’s their problem, and they should look at themselves. If your not sure if offence was intended or not, then choose not to be offended and get on with it.
If offence was intended then choose to react or choose not to, either way stop crying like a little puffy girl in a pretty white blouse you big wussy snowflake! (no offence)
