Steven Taylor (now retired)


Recommended Posts

No real surprise; he was the prime candidate to leave in order to raise cash this summer.

 

Williamson's start to life in the Premier League will have only reinforced this.

 

Only problem is we'll get nowhere near his worth this way.

 

Opened page one. Dat post. :lol:

 

20:20 hindsight and all that like.

At the point when he'd been transfer listed, Williamson looked really quite capable at this level. He played well once we'd just come up.

 

Absolutely, the Colo-Williamson was our best partnership by quite a distance in the 2010/11 season. Williamson's weaknesses have been completely exposed now mind which is a shame.

Yup, there was the time when most of us prefer the 'Willicini' partnership.

aye, started around the time he was out for ages after having his jaw broke and many making a choice between first team goal scoring centre forward or currently out injured centre half. he got a lot worse during his time out in the way our players usually get a lot better when out injured.

 

the defence of andy carroll being our very own small scale di canio moment.

Not really. Williamson was pretty assured during that spell and showed more composure than Saylor did pre-Pardew. Of course Saylor improved a lot after Pardew came in but that shouldn't take away from the decent albeit short-lived partnership of Colo and Williamson.

 

Iirc it was before the Saylor-Carroll fight too.

first part of the championship season taylor was our best centre half, till colo got up to speed. then when he came back from injury he was very good and better than williamson.

Is that move actually legal? Great improvisation, either way.

 

Don't see why not? Unsporting behaviour, perhaps?

He must practice that in training because it looked a lot more difficult than the last one.

 

Maybe we should get all of the defence practicing it, in years to come it will be a common defensive skill.

Coming to think about it, I don't think you're allowed to score like that. Probably should've been an indirect free-kick to Fulham.

Backpass rule:

Trickery

If the referee believes a defender is trying to circumvent the backpass law using trickery, he can penalize the player for unsporting behavior. For example, if a defender deliberately flicks the ball up into the air and then heads it back to the goalkeeper, the referee will award an indirect free kick.

Yep playing with fire, as soon as a ref knows the rules he's doomed
