Isabella Duke Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Having 2 thugs in the middle of the park is an excellent idea. The great Aberdeen side of the early 80s had Neale Cooper & Neil Simpson in the middle and with McLeish, Miller & Rougvie at the back, they never lost a battle. The Hearts side that blew the title in 86 also had a couple of great thugs in the middle, Neil Berry & Kenny Black. Again, with the likes of Walter Kidd, Craig Levein, Sandy Jardine, Brian Whittaker & Sandy Clark, they could could kick any side of the park. Dicker & Goodwin in the centre of midfield, Thompson up front with Wyle & Campbell playing off him, back to front football and success will follow.

I would certainly have no objection to us playing thugball and on the occasions when his P45 has appeared on the horizon neither has Lennon, unfortunately his desire to play football "the correct way" always resurfaces.

Spam_Valley Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Our captain played as a centre half in the semi-final and the final of our glorious cup win in 2013. These games were two of our best results and performances at the highest level for many a year. Jim played his part in that at the position of centre half. I'd be happy for him to plug the gap in defence anytime. We got absolutely battered in that final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Before we get carried away. http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/rochdale/forum/100436/page:3 There's a great quote in there about Dicker's lack of every quality that we are hoping he will bring to the team. Unfortunately, for several months, the f**king cut and paste option doesn't seem to work on my posts. So you'll need to find it yourselves.

thomsons dropped it Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 We got absolutely battered in that final My memory of the Final is we were pretty poor for half an hour then took charge for the last 15 in the first half.....Played great for half an hour, could and should have increased our lead after our third goal, then H****s had a right go for the last 15 and gave us all a squeaky bum..... My take on it.....50/50 Possession for us .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This.... didnt complete a pass in the second half and was yet again outfought in the middle of the park or this.... Doesnt have the fight to win the ball in the centre, dithers on the ball and risks losing possesion and his pass completion of late has been pretty mediocre at best. FFS, that forum is worse than on here at times. My eyes are bleeding after reading all that f**king whining. Worth noting, though, that the tone of some of the posts on there are similar to a few from here that have been directed at Kenny McLean among others.

Magic Monkey Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Gary Teale: he's shite. As was John Sutton. And Kenny McLean. And Jim Goodwin. If you read this forum, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sheffield Wednesday fans' opinion of Gary Teale. Why don't we wait until we see him playing for St. Mirren (if he signs!) before we start slating him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
class of 76-77 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Those quotes seem to tick all the boxes of a typical Danny Lennon signing! Sheff Wed fans were less than complimentary about Gary Teale, and Rangers fans told us that Thommo was pish. Would you like me to go on about other players or does that not fit in with your agenda.

pozbaird Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Dicker, Rooney, Stevenson, Santa Claus, the Man From Uncle.... whoever. Following the Hartegate scandal, until Allan Picken photographs a player, holding up a Saints shirt, in front of a St Mirren logo, with the St Mirren manager shaking his hand, and Norrie posting 'he's signed' on the club website - I am completely 'meh' about the entire rumour mill process. Even allowing for all of the above actually happening, I still won't fully believe a player has signed for us until I see them with my own eyes, in a Saints shirt, being played out of position to accomodate Gary Harkins. Gie's a shout when they gie's a signing. Until then... Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
