We REALLY need a free kick expert on the pitch. I guess Snoddy was pretty good at them and Redmond has scored from them occasionally, but mostly they're way off target.

O'Neil was taking them when he first started getting a run of games in the side and very well he did too
Now it seems to have reverted back to Brady, Wes or Redders, who all blow a little hot and cold.

We've needed one since Mulryne.

Graham Paddon was quite good!

Am I making this up, or did he once score a goal that deflected in off the refs head? I want to say it was in a home win against Reading.

Spot on. I know there was an 'assist' from the ref, but can't remember what part of his anatomy it came off. Defo v Reading though, and we won 1-0, as I recall.
He (PM) retired to become a man of the cloth, I seem to recall?

My memory says that it was at Reading, but then I an usually wrong.

By the looks of the clip I posted above, it's at Reading.
I think I'm confusing two memories. I've got in mind a game we won 3-0 vs Reading at home, with Mulryne scoring twice, one of which was a shot from outside the area which deflected in off the ref. Seeing as we've not beaten Reading 3-0 since 96, it's not that game.

The closest I can find is a 3-1 FA cup win vs BHA, where Mulryne's second was a free-kick that deflected in off the wall. BHA and Reading play in blue and white, so I'll excuse myself that!

Graham Paddon was quite good!

..and the award for understatement of the year goes to canarydave

I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure!

Phil Mulryne. He was the one who thought that Coventry were the future! Tw*t.

A bit like Craig Bellamy and 'sideways' Sammy Clingan before him?
If my memory serves me well, of course?

 

[Forgot_My_Lines]

Come to think of it! I hate Coventry!!!

Gary Sacked by Valencia......Surprised?...............Of course no one is! What a ridiculous appointment.

Maybe Valencia are after Remy Garde?!

Gary Neville 16-1 with Paddy Power to be next Norwich boss

Let us know how he fares, buddy. After all, you seem to be the only one passionate about getting shot of the present incumbent

I would imagine most of us are past our birth dates now!
