Quote: Tony Fax "Oh dear Andy my son, Claire appears to have beaten you hands down on this one .... and your weak and desperate attempt to bring my views on Dean Lawford was shot down in flames, you can't compare the present situation of Lawford (on the brink of retirement) and Black (still a young lad). And, again like Claire has mentioned, Lawford, whether you love him or hate him, has "been there and done it" at the top level. A more complete and consistent player than Black has or ever will be.
And on the subject of Black "single handedly" winning us games, he also "single handedly" lost us games as well. I'll always remember that home match against Rochdale when we lost in the last minute. I was at the end of my tether with Black's errattic and lazy play as it was (and yes he DID get gradually worse under Faz's coaching). But his performance in that particular match was the worse I've ever seen by a Fax half back ... he was passing the ball either into touch or on the ground, his tackling was appalling, and his missed one on one attempts were a disgrace. Folk around me in the South Stand were commenting "Oh aye, I see Black spent last night in Jumping Jaks again". But Faz never took him off! We would have beaten Rochdale that day, very comfortably, if Black hadn't "gotten in the way".
And as for your view that all half backs are protected when it comes to defending. Balderdash!! Did you see little Robbie Burrows thud the likes of big John Wilkie into the ground last Friday? Decent halfbacks don't need "protecting" when it comes to defence!! Surely? I rest my case!
But I'm sure we'll argue this one till the cows come home, cos I ain't changing my views and Andy ... you won't change yours
Hope you haven't forgot your promise to run round the Shay naked if Blacky plays state of origin.

Yup can't wait til will play you again and his magic comes to life
