Coach Knows Best? The infamous Amokachi moment.....

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Haha talk about backing up your ballsy move
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Amo was one of several players warming up. Royle wanted to make a substitution but wanted to bring in another player. But he turned his back. Amo, noticing his coach turned his back, went to the official and got himself subbed in. When the coach realized, Amo was on the pitch.

That's the kind of move that can get a player fired. But it all turned out great :D :D :D

....so as recent as 1995 the English league was still primitive, that they don't give the name of subbing players to the ref or 4th official :laugh:

I guess Royle took the credit for the tactical move.

You do know that 1995 is 23 years ago? That is more than 'recent'.

Chief,

I knew of the second but not the first. I laff tire oo! As Oloye stated, the coach would have claimed that his tactics worked to perfection and we would of course swallow the claim!

Dan the Bull has always been a confident guy. Even till this day, watch his current day interviews he always has this self belief that borders on pride but not crossing that pride line. This was the group from 94 that knew no fear and you see it in his gait and how he pounces on and drives the ball. For a coach and the Nigerian camp, it was for a better, for worse during that "mafia" era. This was one of the many mafia moves

that was 100% impulsive act - residue of internalized behaviors at pick-up games in Nigeria ( watch your suppressed past it might jump out of you sometime)
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

..."the coach turn around, Amo went to the official and was subbed" does that mean all the players warming up have their name slip in hand to present?

Günter Netzer did the same in the early 70s. It was his last game for the club before moving to Real Madrid. It was the German cup final, the score was 1:1 after regular time. He subbed himself in and scored the winning goal as his club won 2-1

As a current coach I wonder what he would do if his player disobeyed him like that but went on to prove it was the right decision...

He subbed him self without his name being sent to the 4th official? Is it possible to a sub to be made without a player(s) name being sent to the 4th official?
Jesus didn't die so we could have religion. He died so we could have a deep, intimate, personal relationship with God.
