Kimbo Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 It’s pretty surprising that the usual geniuses in the media are going to bat for Bruce again. What has happened to both Bruce and Newcastle since he left has proved us right, and we have ex-players validating our opinions on him,… but still they insist on trying to make the case for him. They should’ve just kept their heads down and ignored all this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's after he's had them for a year or two that the wheels really fall off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Found a PDF of his books and the first page of 'Striker!' was enough for me to stop reading. Absolute drivel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Wonder if Steve Barnes ran any training sessions. Probably some clues in the book about the real deal. Is he trying to tell everyone that he’s murdered someone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he trying to tell everyone that he’s murdered someone? Reckon its a bit like the concept in Basic Instict. Describing training in his books on the face of it implies he'd deploy it in real life but is also actually an alibi for his career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-more Mag Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Could it really be that I’ve managed more than 1,000 matches? My stubby sausage fingers don’t go that high, and for a moment I thought perhaps I’d never know. But then I remembered! There’s lots of lads in the squad. Surely among us we have enough!

Decky Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I could manage 1000 games easily if the extent of my work was two days a week at the training ground, drinking bovril and doing nothing, then at the weekend go to the game like any other supporter. Could easily do about 2 or 3 thousand if I have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Actually thinking back hadn't he actually admitted molesting a child to Byrne, and they still kept playing him? Wasn't even just an accusation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 As a former proud owner of the Steve Barnes trilogy, I'd say I'd recommend them. Problem is, they go for a bastard fortune on ebay these days, which is a shame, and also means I regret the fact that I lent them out to my mates a couple of decades ago and have no idea where they ended up. I'd have been rich if I'd kept them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
