    No you said you wouldn't touch Ross with a barge pole and I was pointing out I agree I would not have him back but the team scored more goals with him in it.

    Agreed, but not released by Cellino, so not included in my wee question session, otherwise we'd have all sorts of names coming out of the woodwork. Becchio springs to mind in this instance :D

    Are you reading this, LL, I'm about to support you on this! :D

    I've watched Bianchi in every home game he's played, plus a few pre-seasons. I rate him very highly. He's in the mould of Gary McAllister IMO, and is an all-rounder in midfield. Unfortunately for him, most of the team-mates he's played alongside are more than a few split seconds behind his thinking. He can see openings & makes killer passes, but finding someone that's alert to the possibilities has been a struggle for him. Basically, he thinks & acts fast & our team don't. Watch him next time. Try to be unbiased. Assess whether it's his passing that's completely off, or if the intended recipient has 0% anticipation or realisation of possibilities. He's particularly good in our team for short passing, and is often at the centre of some excellent sharp passing phases. Not quite sure why people criticise him.

    A killer pass is only a killer pass if it finds its intended recipient otherwise it's hit and hope. Have you been on mind bending drugs today? I have seen more than half the games you have seen and you are talking pure unvarnished bollocks


    Here is the clue 18th. And if him and Byram were even half as good as you think we wouldn't be!.

    As for your advice for LL to watch him next time, there hasn't been a Fecking first time. <doh>

    My comment was actually aimed at Paul Hopkins, and any other detractors. :emoticon-0173-middl

    Disagree with you re. killer passes. Can still be a killer pass without finding the intended recipient IMO. Just because the intended recipient takes 5 minutes to wake up before making his move doesn't mean it wasn't a good pass.

    Same number of times as all those who've watched televised games.



    Damn, I've actually watched Bianchi on 3 radio broadcasts, and you won't count'em, you don't play fair......:emoticon-0112-wonde

    As I previously mentioned, great minds think alike, however,

    Chippy, you seem to have misunderstood who Jock was aiming his post at, I believe it was everyone, it was an open post apart from his first line in which he was bringing the contents of his post to my attention.....:emoticon-0105-wink:

    I was too shocked to learn that a pass that doesnt Find the intended recipient was still a killer killer ball to take the rest of the skirt wearers post in.
