BobBobSuperBob Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Always a player I've liked and always seems a decent pro who gives what he can for club and country Out for 6 months and possibly his only chance of playing in a major tournament A coin in the face from one of his own fans and a substantial injury a few days later Lad doesn't deserve it Hope you back soon fella and Northern Ireland make Russia in two years time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Brunty good solid pro decent left peg on him. Treated terribly by his own fans and fate. I fear it maybe touch n go if he has another tournament in him. Good luck pal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Big loss for the country too - one of their better players to have slogged through campaigns of no hope , where he has carried them on occasions , to finally qualify and then miss out is awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 The injury thing is unfortunate and sad, but it's happened to plenty of other players - didn't Pavel Nedved miss out on an international tournament due to injury (what a player he was...)? The coin thing, though, was an absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have missed out on the World Cup? One of the best of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I was sat in the ateyo at the time and he needlessly belted it into the crowd. It was near the end of the game and they were 4-0 at the time (I think?). I do believe the person on the end of it was an elderly lady who ended up in hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben4BCFC Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 14 minutes ago, reformed_red said: May well have been. I was sat in the Dolman at the time and it happened right in front of me. It struck a middle-aged man square in the face as he was walking out with a young girl (his daughter?) who was clearly distressed by the whole situation. If I remember rightly, we were well beaten by this point (possibly the 4-1 loss we suffered in the late 00s) and it was moving into stoppage time. Completely needless and he didn't even come over to apologise or see if the guy was alright. Always had a dislike for him since then, and struggled to feel any sympathy for him for anything. Having said that, no player should be coined by anybody, least of all his own fans. Especially when he was going to apologise and give his shirt to a young fan.

I almost put mid '00s but had it in my head that to be playing Weds it must have been in the Champ and therefore under GJ. Doesn't feel like 12 years ago it happened.

PHILINFRANCE Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 So, was it an elderly lady as indicated by reformed_red; a young un with his dad as indicated by archie andrews or a middle-aged man accompanied by a young girl, as indicated by Ben4BCFC? More than ten years ago. Isn't it funny how one's memory can play tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
