  1. He arrived at Hillsborough in my first full season watching Wednesday. A few comments in the crowd about him being too small for a keeper. He won everybody over in that first season making wonderful saves. Never wore gloves and always caught the ball being both strong and agile. Came to Sheffield by train for every match from his home in London. We eventually swapped him for his brother Peter in a deal that allowed Ron to return to QPR and finish his career back in London.Happy days they were
  2. Why are you in the South Stand complaining about those around you when you should be away from Hillsborough and boycotting games if you feel so strongly about it?
  3. It is a dilemma but don’t give in. I’m finding it hard, even cancelled Ifollow but haven’t given in to the craving to go along. I’m waiting for the regulator hopefully to take control then I might start going to games again.
  4. Loved that little bit of footage of him on Sky organizing more experienced players who they should be marking at a corner tonight. A long long time since I’ve seen a young player come in to the team and make the position his own like he’s doing. And never one quite so young. Please just keep it going and don’t be misled into being sold for a fraction of what you’re worth to sit on the bench in the Premier League.
  5. It’s a conspiracy Ah tell thee. Just keep playing til Birmingham score. 99 minutes ridiculous.
  6. I heard him explain that recently. When his contract came up for renewal he claimed he was offered only 25% of his previous wage. Didn’t want to go but had little choice with far better offers being put to him.
  7. I was wondering how the players might organise a form of strike action that would be eye catching for the media but still allow the game still to be played and thereby avoid even harsher sanctions by the authorities. One idea that might work would be to delay the start of a televised game by having a dressing room sit in. A 5 or 10 minute delay would leave no alternative but for Sky commentators to fill in by discussing what is going on at the club to a wider audience, live as it happens. If players do read this forum I throw the idea in for discussion. Might be more effective than the talk of a training strike.
  8. Hang on, we had wingers all of last season but that didn’t suit him either.
  9. World record holders for most embargoes in a 12 month period Will we be in the Guiness Book of Records.
  10. Did you hear about the gay agoraphobic who came out of the closet, and went back in again?
  11. Being of that vintage I remember that being played at half time when we’d taken an early 2-0 lead. Can’t remember the game just that it was unusual to be winning at that period in time.
  12. First time in a long time I didn’t want to single out one player from a great team effort.. Far too many standout performances to pick just one player.
  13. They are both 19 I believe. I heard Weaver had his birthday earlier this month.
  14. If the play is stopped every time a player goes down injured just think of the consequences. Coaches will be telling defenders to drop to the ground like they’ve been shot every time they’re outpaced by a striker. Gamesmanship is bad enough as it is without opening up another route for the cheats and time wasters
  15. George Brown’s goal was a bit special I thought. Ok the defender went down injured but how many youngsters making their first team debut would stay calm, visibly compose himself and shoot accurately like that. I thought that moment to eye the goal set himself might just have let that defender get a tackle in but he aced it. Well done George.
