I played against Ryan for Greenhill & Lowedges against I think Sheffield Rangers at under 12 / 13 level A very powerful player we could not get near and a shame injury killed his career Not a world beater but a lot better than Graham Hyde IMO All part of the Wednesday tragedy!

Patto's crossing is first class

On a North Sea Ferry from Hull to Rotterdam in May 1997 Regi Blinker was enjoying a quiet game of Blackjack in the Casino until my mate went over and started playing... The game ended abruptly when my mate spilled an entire pint of Guiness on the blackjack table and Regi calmly walked off!

This has to be a contender for the most embarrassing thread ever on Owlstalk for a player who is new to the club and had a couple of cameos and arguably could have won 2 penalties. When it comes to our fanbase Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde comes to mind! Hope Owlstalk don’t censor this comment like my previous on Terry Curran or I’ll have to call Elon Musk! UTO

The comment about the historical scouting and related academy performance is spot on - how many good attacking players have we produced in the last 40 years?! - seem to specialise in lower league defenders and goalkeepers (Pressman aside)

I see the chamber also stimulates hair growth or is this Boris Johnson?!

Surely cheaper to get him 3 shredded wheat like Beefy Botham if he struggles to eat the third he can use it to augment his barnet

Fog on the line

So one nasty loon in a fan base of over 100,000 - why give them oxygen?!

James O'Connor - I've seen pensioners move faster at the Post Office

If Neymarv was 25 years old - he’d be worth £ 10 million Never ever understood the boo boys but haters gotta hate I suppose Yes he can be a mardy bum, hardly a cardinal sin

The tackle just before by Adams on Hirst was a shocker too However, the first game of the 1994 season at Liverpool and Palmer was sent off in the first minutes for a bad tackle on Jan Molby - of course Steve McMahon did similar tackles every week and got away with it because he played for a big team - has ever been thus It wasn't until the 1998 world cup that the rules changed but sadly only after many careers like Van Basten and Hirst had been cut short by anti-football thuggery

God give me strength ! Fake news - he’s off to FC Shakhtar Donetsk

Why the hell is Windass not taking more dead balls and corners like at start of season? - Bannan style of delivery is just too slow and floaty We were far more dangerous last year when Vaulks was trying to whip balls in with pace - a transfer window failure not to get a midfielder in who can consistently deliver this kind of ball. It’s football basics like not lunging in to give soft free kicks away with 40 seconds left!

Looked quality on the ball - was about the only player who didn’t constantly give the ball away!

If Darren Moore or Southgate had not changed the front 4’s pathetic display at least by half time everybody would be screaming blue murder I don’t care what Danny did last season, that was shocking selection, tactics and game management

Why wait until Millwall score before changing a truly appalling performance by our front 4?!

that’s because hardly any of the rest of the team could play football and were promptly relegated shortly afterwards Hirst was a total has been by this time and 20 Kg overweight although faster than Harry Kane toxic culture personified

Harry Kane clearly wasn’t fit and defenders had a cigar on while marking him all tournament i don’t care if you are Harry Kane or Lee Gregory / if you’re not fit you should not be on the pitch, especially in such massive games Danny Röhl would never pick an unfit player and when you start to blow and your legs have gone you are being substituted - this was one of the major factors in us staying up and very much part of modern pressing football which Spain applied with aplomb

Not so much love for the way Kane ran into the path of where Stones was running! - what a dope - looks like a loose horse in the Grand National

Playing football in a pi55 poor league used to be for over 30s If that’s what wants says a lot and explains the last couple of years

More balanced - perhaps putting 4 wins in 6 into context He was incredibly negative from 1 - 0
