S24SU Greatest Player Of All Time Poll

[Grecian2000]

Who was that bugger who's daughter kicked off with epic flouncery when someone said her dad was shite?

It was the tall center half with the hair bear bunch haircut. Quite similar to Willie Falconer name wise.

What would you do if someone said your dad was shite?

Trouble was the reaction (it must still be on here if you can find it) wasn't someone actually calling him shite per se.

WTF's going on? - Des Thompson doesn't even get a mention.

Buxton's finest.

Respect

She basically said he was a much better player than anyone on here, which was (of course) conceded, but it was pointed out that we were calling him "shit" by comparison with other players of that era, which, of course, he was..

Indeed, it was my initial post she jumped on and also my explanation of "relative shitness" that she completely ignored (or didn't understand) and abused even more!

not missed any one off have I?

The great Dries Boussatta. I remember during a night match, he came on as a sub and about 10 minutes later Warnock took him off. He threw his shirt into the dugout I think and went back to the dressing room. Never saw him after that...

 

[coaxingstar71]

Vinnie Jones, Carl Bradshaw, Dane Whitehouse, Mitch Ward and going back a bit further TC and Woodward and the illustrious Alex Sabella

I think you're missing the point a tad.

Not give two fucks. that's what I'd do.
She called me a sick, vile bastard. See below this post for how upset by that I was.

I know my Dad isn't shite, but I don't post on the internet asking for praise of him then kick off when someone says something I don't like.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Graham Stuart wasn't that bad was he?

No

I don't quite understand the criteria for the players on your list or maybe it's just a random list. It doesn't look like the very worst players that have worn the shirt otherwise Andy Barnsley and a number of others including half the current team would be in it. I see Franz Carr and Graham Stuart are there too who I seem to remember making a decent contribution. I quite liked Martin Pike too in comparison to his team mates at the time.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it - that's so unlike other posters on here.

Depending on qualifying criteria, I'll throw in Laurens Ten Heuvel - inspired NW signing.

Is it just me that thinks that a bloke who thinks that it's smart to have an avatar of a dog with a dildo in it's gob and who starts a rather stupid poll on the day that a Blades legend dies is rather sick?

Anyway..so long as his ego is suitably massaged and he has a warm glow that is all that matters

Is one directly related to the other? You can't joke about something because something else totally unrelated happened on the same day? Wow. I didn't realise they were the new forum rules, I'll have to be put right by Foxy or Linz next time I see them.

From the clues, was it Steve Faulkner? CB in 70's who only played if either Colquhoun or John Flynn were out.

I think you're going slightly OTT, the avatar raises a slight smirk the first time you see it, after that, only teenagers would find it funny. But to try and link a random poll and that avatar along with two Blades and stating it's sick, is slightly far fetched. But maybe he was waiting for two Blades to die before he posts this poll, who knows ?

As my niece says:

I can't see anything below and as I don't know who the player is I can't search for the thread. So I won't comment further but I understand your point about not asking questions if there's a chance you won't like the answer.

Edit: Ok, couldn't be arsed trawling through the search but found Foxy's post explaining why she was banned. Seems fair enough and if she was banned she no doubt deserved it. Sounds like she overreacted somewhat.

My first choice by a country mile

Saw that fucker on the FA Cup highlights shanking a clearance. He's still shit.

 

[Coily]

I always thought Martin Pike was a half decent player, and Graham Stuart would walk into today's team despite being 45 years old.

I think this list would be complete with the addition of Trenton Wiggan.

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Ugo Ehiogu - though my memory may be tainted by my total and utter loathing of Bryan Robson

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Not sure of the rules on this one but I'll go for Lilian Nalis.

 

[blade too long]

Peter Withe

Yeh, but he were our shit

 

[BushBlade]

At the time he was with us, a player was on the radio talking about loans and he said he'd heard about loan deals where the loan club would pay a small percentage of the player's wages providing he played. If he didn't play, they had to pay the full wages. No names were mentioned but I can't think of any other reason why he kept getting picked.

 

[Blade58]

How come Derek Richardson aint on that list?

Scandalous!

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Willie Falconer - don't want to offend you know who

You missed the fun when his daughter posted in here. You were in BM then

 

[northsomersetblade]

I'm not seeing Trenton Wiggan, John Flood or Paul Garner. What's going on?

yeah seems like the fun police have interjected

Woo woo woo
