Kanj Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Why did Kenny Dalglish break the 2nd place team up? I always wanted to know that...were there any books/bios etc that explained as such? It's been talked about a few times on here. The team was near its end, Beardsley was done, Ferdinand was injured a fair bit iirc, but the ridiculous thing that he did was change it for even older players and in some cases got rid of the younger players (got rid of Elliott instead of Beresford) I'm not getting into it again, but he got rid of Ginola, which was a mistake, but generally he brought in daft players when at that point we were a team trying to win the league. John Barnes, Ian Rush and Stuart Pearce ffs. Just utter stupidity. Sorry for asking again, just reading a Keegan Bio and began to think about post Keegan and Kenny coming in. The Ferdinand sale happened literally the day after Shearer got hurt, right? Just think the Ginola sale was daft as fuck given he was LW balance to Gillespie's RW, right?

Kanj Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 What's it called when a player lays a penalty off for another player to score? And I don't mean retarded, I mean is there a proper name for it. I thought there was - it's a brazilian-y name like a flaffeffa or something with 'f's and 'v's that isn't flavela.

Nah, it just always takes loads of effort to remember everything from that time. Ginola was out of form tbf and he was either 29 or 30 at the time, but he had a brilliant season after he left us. It was a team that needed to be tweaked, not overhauled is the thing I think we would all mainly agree upon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 He would never have had such a season under Dalglish though. The two clearly didn't really get along sportingly and Ginola was out of favour as well as being out of form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Elliott - Pistone Ginola - Glass Clark - Tomasson Asprilla - Andersson Beardsley - Barnes Ferdinand - Rush Couldn't we have kept everyone and just signed Speed and Given? Woodman and Carver were given roles in the coaching staff that season, incidentally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Glass seemed fairly talented player tbf, just wasn't up to it physically in more ways than one. Obviously not a patch on Ginola but he was a bit unlucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Glass was a different kind of wide midfielder than what had preceeded him. He was more of a Sheedy type than a Ginola type. He was a decent passer of the ball. Like 'Polic says not strong enough but I'm a tad blinded by his great performance in the 5-1 stuffing we gave Coventry at Highfield Rd under Gullit. He was absolutely magic that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Stephen Glass really wasn't that bad, tbf, he just struggled with injuries. We've definitely had worse on our left side. *Cough* Wayne Quinn *cough* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yplasterer Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Mind reading a WSC article on that a while ago, I think the north/south balance has been pretty horrible for the last few years a that level, just with promotions and relegations leaving a heap of southern teams. Think their example at the time was Bishop's Stortford being in the North. God, I'm fascinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think their example at the time was Bishop's Stortford being in the North. God, I'm fascinating. This is true. There are a huge number of teams in and around the south east which slants the balance of north/south. Gloucester, Worcester and Bishop's Stortford have both been in Conf North. When Hampton were in Conf South we didn't really have too many long trips, unless one of the West Country teams got up. Even then Bath City isn't that bad a trip from West London. Worcester to Gateshead or Blyth though. Ridiculous.They've tried to find a better way of doing it but the organisation in non-league footy is so bad, they'll never get it right.

yplasterer Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Nice one, cheers. Can never remember my maw's birthday, but apparently I can draw upon an unspectacular piece I read off-handedly a few years ago about a non-league side at the other end of the country in a fucking instant.

Deuce Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Are there any clubs who've played in both Conference North and South? E.g. promoted to Premier from North then relegated to South? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Almost certainly someone has played in both. Not sure if it's from going up to premier and then back down, but they've been switched across between seasons. Bishop's Stortford certainly have. They play about 30 miles north of the M25, near Stansted airport, and got stuck in the north for a couple of years. Non league footy is crazy, there's always a team that goes out of business so somebody gets reprieved somewhere which causes other moves further down the pyramid. No promotions or relegations are final till after the league meetings in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The border between north and south being in Essex is a bit silly though. Like I said, they really should have given it an overhaul years ago and split everything in to north and south. The Isthmian league is the problem though, they'd never accept being merged with the southern league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
