"Sammon was worse than a man down until his goal..."
One of a few choice comments from the Jambos. Apparently when he was announced as MOTM people booed.

Good that the footy has started again. Personally I'd fancy a concrete bollard on the penalty spot to get more goals than Sammon, just from random deflections off it.
It'd be tricky taking penalties mind but we could cross that bridge when we came to it. Also on the plus side the wages would be a lot less.

The concrete block would also have the aerial advantage.

Malta's smaller than Sheffield, geographically and in terms of population. And having been there a couple of times, I'd guess it's too bloody hot to play football for a lot of the year. So it's really impressive that Scottish football manages to be this bad.
When I visited Malta the first time I was looking to take in one of the local sides (well, I suppose they're all local, it's tiny!) and since I was staying in Sliema I thought I could try Sliema Wanderers. Above the door they have a big SWFC in the glass. I didn't go in.

Scotland must have the most embarrassing league in the world.
Celtic lost in Gibraltar last week. Didn't even know Gibraltar had a team let alone a league that qualifies for champions league qualifiers!

Immovable block of concrete? Can't we have one thread without someone bringing Dean Hammond into it?

Don't know if they've built their national stadium yet, Gibraltar have to play their home games in the Algarve (to be fair it's a nice stadium).

First 10 yards are in the head
Before we get carried away laughing at Scottish teams losing to Maltese teams, let's not forget that our own country failed to beat a nation the size of Leicester recently!

They've started on the fish jokes then.

They seem to have worked him out already that was quick.
Yes, it would be in a footing 6ft deep as well.

Come on Roy, where are you, there is an epic 'view from' in here, actually there's enough material for five or six

I think they do have one now, it's right next to the motorway/airport runway - and by that I mean those are both the same thing. Weird, weird place.

He was also at UCD , scoring 13 goals in almost 70 appearances , and when Trappatoni was manager of Ireland , came on quite regular as a second half sub , he was fucking gash though .
Wigan payed 600k for him and Derby over a million , and I did say when we had him on lone he was shite .

I also think Connor wasn't our greatest piece of business, but the kind of animosity he gets does seem to be a bit much. I'm sure he didn't mean to be that crap.

He probably had one really good game for us early season, and a couple of decent ones thereafter. Otherwise, his performances descended to a level where youth prospects got picked in front of him. Add to that his remarkable capacity to miss the unmissable, and you've got a sorry record.
But I reckon the fact that he looked like a middleweight but punched like a flyweight made people think he wasn't a trying. And they might have been right - only he knows.
