CPL Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 While we're on the subject of Robert, I remember reading an interview about his debut when he was a sub and his team had a free kick, he said to the manager put me on and I'll score and that's what he did. EDIT: Also for the young ones type in Robert knocks out Bernard on everyone's favourite video website Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Bramble wasn't THAT bad. Not costing a lot, could be handy occasionally. Every thing started to turn bad since the arrival of Bowyer. Bramble is the worse ever player to play in the BPL. Even Woodgate couldn't help him. He probably doesn't even make the top 5 worst defenders to have played for us im the premier league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble is the worse ever player to play in the BPL. Even Woodgate couldn't help him. Ok, I'll play along with this tripe. The season Woodgate and Bramble were our main partnership we had the 5th best defensive record in the league, even with Bobby's attacking style. Helpless.

So that automatically makes him a good defender? Ok I was slightly going over the top when I said he was the worse to appear in the league but there's no doubt he's a big clown and the sooner he was sold the better.

Belfast Mags Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Laurent Robert Feel like I would have loved this guy, based on youtube. Robert was the shit Mike, one of my all time favourite players for us, a real maverick, as you can see from the clips, he had a real thunderbastard of a left peg, but besides that, he was a very canny player, a real cult hero in my book We had a great team back then, even watching the compilation has made me feel instantly better, we played with a real swag, scored tons of goals, we were everybody's second favourite team, truly good times In fact it's the only thing that keeps me going tbh, thinking back to what we were back then under KK and SBR Changed days guys, changed days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Bramble's aimless hoofs towards the corner flag when under no pressure at all were nearly as annoying as his many, many ricks. Didn't like him much at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Bramble was shit, but for me he is still behind Boumsong, Ramage, Cacapa and maybe Huntington. Probably on par with Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 And yes, it hurts like hell to see those videos, while it's suprisingly uplifting to see what this can be about rather than the apathy and anger. Was just about too young to really experience Keegan's side, but Sir Bobby's formed me as a football supporter. Anything was possible with that team. So many loveable players and the most dignified manager in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers represent their appearances for the club how the hell did Bramble get more than 100 is beyond me.

colinmk Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Bramble had everything apart from a brain. And that makes a central defender worse than useless.

Mental that so many managers kept trying to get something from him that wasn't there. He wasn't worse than useless, though. He had far more good games than bad. His major problem was a bad dose of the brain farts in game. He could be playing very well at times and then BOOM he'd go and do something inexplicably stupid. You just couldn't rely on him to see out 90 mins, hassle free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I was wondering when the Bramble debate would come back around again. He was shite. As a defender he was the sum total of crap because his mistakes were almost always absolutely suicidal and were almost always punished. You can be Ferdinand for 90% of the time, but if you make one mistake that results in conceding 9 times out of 10, then as a defender, you're useless.

Ronaldo Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Whatever he was, his two goals (and solid defending under Roeder) got us into Europe in 2006. Be a cold day in hell the next time we can say that about a central defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
