The Murphy turn

[Silent Blade]

Am disappointed with the Football League Show and BladesPlayer for not showing Murphy's turn beating two players at the halfway line (Andy Garner raised both his hands in appreciation) in the build up to the 2nd goal yesterday. It was a nice piece of skill worth seeing again

 

[WhiteHawk]

Agree. It was a brilliant move by Murphy.

 

[JohnDenver]

It was a fabulous bit of play, but I wonder whether it was one of those ever-so-slight mis-controls which enabled the turn.

If it was intentional then it was Zidane-esque, balletic and wonderful.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

If a player from the top 5 or 6 prem clubs had done it we would have seen it about fifteen times from different camera angles.

 

[pommpey]

Yeah ... but its 'Sheffield United', innit?

It's amost as it the BBC are delighted to see us scrapping it out in the shithouse league so they can actually beratingly award us forty seconds of airplay (at 0100, Sunday morning) I know our league position befits our television appearance, but if Murphy's play was that good, you'd imagine it would be aired? I mean, if it was Eden Hazard, you'd have Shearer, Lawrenson, Hansen and Lineker simultaneously ejaculating into a golden beaker as multi-angle slo-mo replays of Hazard's mastery looped endlessly on all the virtual screens around, accompanied by music from Sigur Ros and Manfred Mann.

We get:

"Oh, and Sheffield United won 3-0. They're managed by Nigel Clough, you know. Hasn't he done well? His dad was a manager, you know ... "

I've been a big critic of Murphy's previously but I can now honestly say he gets me out of my seat more than any other player in the side.

I now love it when he receives the ball which is followed by "go on Murph, take him on".

What a difference and it has to be down to the coaching staff building his confidence.

Great piece of appreciation from Garner, throwing his arms in the air.

The second goal was a great goal.

You can almost expect The Football League Show to miss the turn but Blades Player shouldn't.

Blades Player also don't show the Harry "Beckenbauer" Maguire mazy dribble and shot.

Two of the best moments of the game that I reckon a lot of us would like to see again.

Funnily enough, before the FLS I wondered whether they'd show the turn and was disappointed as you were when they didn't, it was a great piece of skill.

It reminded me of the old adage that it only takes a second to score a goal and in this case, from Murphy receiving the ball facing his own goal on the halfway line it may have been five seconds, but it completely carved open their defence.

Mind you, the full back he turned was called Karleigh and that's really a step too far

Here, 20 seconds in:



I like Flynn's finish as well, calm and well placed.

Seriously?

You expect the BBC to give extra attention to a bottom of the table third division game because Sheffield United are involved?

 

[Cool Clint]

Shhh, keep these players of everyone else's radar.

Probably already sold, Clint. Brandy and Mcmahon making their way back to the lane as we speak. It's McCabe's vision for Sheff Utd.

One of best goals of season at Lane due in a large part to Murphys brilliant bit of skill. I too was looking forward to seeing it in full but shit coverage as usual from the beeb.

 

[Sheff de party]

Sorry if I'm being cynical, but I honestly don't think anyone who wasn't a fan of the player's club that pulled off that turn would even remember it. It's a nice piece of skill, but not one that is essential for coverage surely?
