That'll sort the men from the bots. I am still newish, so shall get involved. 1. Mickael Debeve - the French hero who may not have had the movie star looks but popped up in our time of need and put a decent performance in the semi final against arsenal. 2. In the North stand losing my *** after the strangest/most terrible game of football I'd ever seen ended beautifully. 3. Sir Barry of Robson, what a man. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Vitor has got to be up there for me and I’m convinced he’s still locked away somewhere inside Rockliffe. For me though the only winner is the ‘Afro-Caribbean’ lad that had a medical and then disappeared. Another vote for afro Carribbean lad. Was genuinely hoping we'd pull that signing of regardless of who it was or wasn't ? Link to post Share on other sites

That'll sort the men from the bots. 1. Shay Given. Yes only a loan player but bloody loved him between the sticks. 2. In the west stand as my brother put it afterwards "acting like a wild ape who just discovered bananas" 3. Didn't really follow the club during the Strachan era so would be wrong of me to comment. Only really got in to football towards the end of mowbrays time. Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 1. Another for Shay Given, under 30 appearances is difficult to name one. 2. South West Upper. 3. Barry Robson/Scott McDonald. Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it no of loans from a single club and how many you can put in match squad now. I’d be gutted if he went there ? But at the same time a 6 month loan wouldn’t do us much good, but *** it surely we have to be in for him! Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,345 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 This is going to be unpopular, but I don't want adama back. It's now the time to build a young team who can learn how to work with each other and may play together for the next few years. If adama came in, we would again become overly reliant on him and we wouldn't be able to play our possession football 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,191 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 On the flip side imagine adama in a team with a few other decent forwards instead of the game plan being ‘give the ball to adama’. I also think he was much more of a team player than given credit for, I think anyone who would turn down the chance to get him back is mental he’s one of them players that can be the difference between challenging and not challenging.

TAPOUT 361 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I know adama is quick and gets bums off seats but it's like watching Forrest Gump with a football. I don't think his team mates knew what he was going to do, which is quite limitting really. Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,191 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Absolute rubbish, it’s bizarre considering what he brought to the team in those few months that some people have such a low opinion of him. He was so much more than ‘fast’. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
