Stal Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Sorry to hark back to the previous few pages, but I haven't been on here all weekend and this story made me blink twice; the HTT you're mentioning in this Bramble story...is it the poster from here HTT (who I haven't seen post in ages come to think of it)?

James Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) This is my memory of Bramble, seems to differ from what I’ve read. Following a return from injury: Game 1 - Bit rusty, few hairy moments, did OK Game 2 - Solid enough Game 3 - Nearly cost us there Game 4 - That was a horrible clanger Game 5 - OMG Titfuck Bumble WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??? Game 6 - Solid enough Game 7 - Really good game Game 8 - tremendous Game 9 - injured injury meant he wouldn’t usually get to games 7 or 8. Robson and Souness are the worst managers he could have, I seem to recall he did well for Roeder. he could have been a world beater - I think Howe would have got him to that point.

No HTT used to have a forum called HTT before N-O existed. N-O is a merger of HTT and the (old) Toontastic forum. I can't remember the name of the poster who cuck'd for Bramble. Probably for the best. It was 18-19 years ago. Think we baited him out with "POIDH" thinking there was no way it happened, then being in shock when he actually posted the evidence of Bramble in bed with his missus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus dominated him and he was subbed at HT or soon after. No no no. Bramble doesn’t get a redemption He was positionally awful, reckless and had no concentration. His occasional decent long balls masked he was shite in possession as well. He also had a stinking attitude and along with Dyer was one of the main reasons that team fell to bits. One of the worst players of that era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 In my opinion there was a lot of casual racism / unconscious bias when it came to both Dyer and Bramble which meant that people saw some issues that weren’t really there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyer was really hated on the forums back then. I mean I get he wasn't the nicest fella, had a touch of arrogance, but you would have thought his sheer ability and excitement factor would get him some grace. But not really, there was some nasty posts around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Dyer was a self-entitled prick. Remember photos of his Bentley in disabled parking bays at cinemas etc. Brambles greatest game at stJames’ was without doubt the 5under1and game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racism isn’t just about abuse, it’s about how we treat players. Still happens today as players like Sterling will attest to. The most common racism today is that many of us are guilty of holding certain players to a higher standard before we accept them and like them. I think some attitudes towards Murphy in particular have been inwardly racist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
