HoldenBall Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 What on earth happened to the bloke?? I never hear his name anywhere since he left us, did he retire?? Probably one of our best LM's in our time in the champ, especially the first season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timothy bird Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Top player. Not helped by gj playing him out of position in his last season. Got a lot of mindless abuse. But thats par for the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephjnr Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Good player, didn't want to leave, shouldn't have sold him but when he talked to the EP over Gary's head his card was marked. Edited April 16, 2013 by sephjnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Had one fox of a gf and I think he has another one now, maybe he isn't small in every department. Indeed, I expect his bank account is quite large - providing he didn't invest in the scheme he was trying to flog to others! As a player he had his limitations, but you had to admire his tireless running and commitment. The guy was always fired up - and that was why he clashed with the increasingly tyrannical GJ of course.

HoldenBall Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Great player for us at times, I suspect it was an early sign of the slow decline that was to follow when he was allowed to leave. Have we ever really replaced him...? Nope, woolford, rose, pearson, anderson, bolaise.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly enjoyed his joust with Nick Carle when he came back with Palace. Believe it ended with a fight in the car park afterwards. Great player for us at times though - nobody ever could accuse him of not trying and often made things happen just by sheer bloody-mindedness.

sunningdalered Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 One-trick pony - stepover, stepover, stepover...no end result. Powder puff in the challenge. Constantly flattered to deceive with lots of running and little impact. The fact that we have struggled to find a consistent, technically-competent left winger doesnt change what McIndoe was.

I'm sorry but I can't see how you can have come to that conclusion... He is probably the best left-winger we have had over the past 20 years I have been watching. Solid and reliable player who scored a few good goals as well. OK, his 2nd season wasn't as good but that was due to GJ playing him all over the place.

Always looked more dangerous with him on the field, and getting the ball out to him not only let him run at defenders but it opened up space for others too. Scored some good goals but sometimes his final ball wasn't the best; should probably have scored more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunbcfc94 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Nope, woolford, rose, pearson, anderson, bolaise.. Anderson isn't a left midfielder, if you actually watched him he always gives it all and is a pretty decent player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nibor but this to bed, fairly definitively, a few years back by producing McIndoe's assists stats. He was much better than you suggest.

GrahamC Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I think Nibor but this to bed, fairly definitively, a few years back by producing McIndoe's assists stats. He was much better than you suggest. Absolutely. I think his two seasons with us saw him score 12 goals (with no penalties) and provide 18 assists, he also missed just one game in that time. When you compare that what the (largely) various non entities that have played down the left since he went only a fool wouldn't think he was excellent value for money (most of whIch we got back anyway when we sold him to Cov) and never properly replaced.

BS15_RED Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The decline started when McIndoe and Adebola left, both have never been replaced, hence why we're back in L1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 just read that artical, I don;t think you will ever hear the name McIndoe again unless he turned up in prison somewhere, sad really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) As much as I'd love to have sympathy with people who gave large sums of untraceable cash to a football player who promised them a 20% p/m ROI...somehow I just can't find the required compassion. Anyone who's spent at least, oh, five minutes or so living in the real world would surely have smelled a scam from a mile away?!

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't in any way justify what MM did, but surely there has been multiple failings of common sense for people to get suckered in like this. People losing in excess of a MILLION pounds to this?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
