Was offered a very basic pay and play contract having been paid fortunes to sit in the treatment room, injured and not so injured over the years

Could have taken it tho, decided to come to the club he supported as a child

I’m glad he is here, he is decent enough for us

He played 20/30 games at bmouth before going to you.....

He’s a busted flush imo, looked fantastic in one game agent Barcelona though 😂😂

Certainly worth a punt for any middle of the league team. But I can’t recall too many games in the last five years that would make me think he’d get into a settled top 6 team. Actually probably UtD’s midfield atm.

That’s what we aspire to!😁

Agree with this. Had the potential to be fantastic when he came through, but completely stalled due to missing so much football. Never developed any better than he was at 19 as a result. You can't still be talking about potential when the player is 26, 27. It's too late now for him to be a top player.

The only "melt" on here is you I'm afraid ,you seem to think that you are the oracle when it comes to football ,but in reality you haven't got a bloody clue.
You harp on and on about your precious players as if they are gods .definitely twelve year old hero worship.As for the drivel you post about golf confirms to me that maybe you are only twelve years old .

I'll assume this was aimed at me since you haven't mastered the quote function. I don't recall ever worshipping any of our players, if anything the majority of posts I make here are to criticise the poor ones! And at your age I suppose anyone who can walk unaided probably does appear to be about 12, yeah. This is some tantrum just to defend the honour of Stan Collymore man. :LOL: Then again you have form since I remember you having a strop about people quite sensibly predicting Brighton would get relegated as well.

Maybe an off field timekeeper would help.
He could make sure the ball is in play for 90mins and no need for extra time or time wasting.
A 3pm match may end up finishing at 5.30-6pm though :eek:. I'm all for an off field timekeeper, I think that would work well, but I don't think 90 minutes of ball on the pitch would be practical. There is a balance that could reduce the time wasting without stretching the game out too far, I'm sure that is what you were meaning.

American football is probably the extreme of ball in play timekeeping, 60 minute games that last just over 3hrs (thank you Google)

Rugby does it very well, with the ref stopping the clock when he feels there is an undue delay. The ball going out for lineouts doesn't stop the clock.

Yes but once teams realise that time wasting is just not counted they won’t do it.!
When you buy your ticket you are promised 90mins of footy how often has that happened.never prob.

American footy basically has two sides each offence and defence so time one runs off and another comes on, time outs, four quarters not really the same.

A time keeper would just help imo. As the refs got enough to do.
