All my opinion of course but i think Whiting is a squad player at best, people say his future is in the pack yet he ran full tilt at Mguire two weeks ago and made no impact at all.

I feel for Hall and the reason i would let him go is because our coaching staff dont have the ability to teach him anything. I think if Hall went to rovers Justeeen would take him under his wing and turn him into some sort of world beater

I agree with that, but I think whereas it used to only be the top fullbacks that had those attributes, with them being seen as a luxury/bonus more than anything, it really is a requirement now that they are an attacking threat. Or it should be, anyway.

I'm interested to see what we do with Tansey actually, as he has the potential to play that role and do well there. I think he may well suffer from being seen as a 'utility player' though, because he's got additional skills that weren't previously/aren't associated with being a fullback in this country.

I do guess its easier for the Ozzies to have a not so safe full back

Would disagree on Radlinski though, i thought he was a very good attacking player and before him Graham Steadman, Steve Hampson and Joe Lydon all very good going forward too

Oh, the deadwood stage is rolling over the plains,
with curtains flapping and driver slapping the reins,
Beautiful sky,
Wonderful day,
whip crack away,whip crack away.


Oh the deadwood stage is heading over the hill,
to take away the useless and the dill,
Radford,Thorman, are on their way,
whip crack away ,whip crack away.

Oh the deadwood stage is coming over the crest,
To take away Byrne ,Tony and the rest
of the crap, they are taking today,
whip crack away,whip crack away.




(I thank you.)

Bart , may well take over from the other Cowboy song.
