Guest sheridans_world Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) "We have been speaking to two such people over the last two weeks" Messrs ............HOOF Branston and HOOF Swailes I didnt think Swailes could play football again, end of career jobby? Edit: Quote from Tranmere fan(about John Thompson): He looked OK for us on the few occasions he was actually fit enough to play. Sheridan must have offered him more than the 50p and a book of Aldi vouchers which is about all we seem to be able to afford in wages at the moment Somehow i dont think Uncle Ronnie can afford to sign BOTH Swailes and Branston!

Guest oa_exile Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I didnt think Swailes could play football again, end of career jobby? Was he not playing for Falkirk , Hamilton...........or someone like that after we released him ? Actually it was a joke about HOOF players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, especially after they signed Adnan Ahmed - by all accounts the worst player in huddersfield squad... Well done Ronnie... You know.. haining isnt a bad shout.... could see him at the trannies... esp as he doesnt want to move too far away.... Haining and Branston though... still scares me...

futchers briefs Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have to say i really did "dislike" messrs RM and Branston ( I actually thought he was one of the worst footballers to play for us) and i know we've been through the list of 'bad uns' but that's how much i didn't rate him. But if the trannies turned up to bp next year with Branston in the side, the paddock will certainly be full of HOOF HOOF HOOF shouts!!! and probably the Whit Hart after!!

Rocky_Latic Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Just come in. Can't be arsed looking as i'm too knackered. Is this the same John Thompson Tranmere had on loan and absolutely raved about and all of their fans wanted them to sign. If so. Brilliant signing just to wind them up.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Did you have to dig up a thread started by me Heh sorry. Anyway, it's the lack-of-hindsight comments like "Agreed.... very commited centre half... and dare I say it, a much better player than Will..." which seem the most amusing. Note to self: Never go all OTT at a player signing until you've seen him play at least 10 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daznathe Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 personally i think he should be given a chance, victim of his own eagerness to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I probably said at the time that I thought John Thompson was a very good signing. And what's more, I stand by that. Poor early form, injuries and opportunity (or lack of) conspired against him. Sometimes a transfer just doesn't work out - this was one of those times. That doesn't mean anyone at the time was wrong, and it doesn't make people raking up this kind of thread remotely clever. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Seeing him play for Forest when we battered them 5-0 said a few things to me. A bit like Branston when he played for Wycombe when we put 5 past them. Not coincidenes in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznathe Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 by that yardstick we should get rid of greegs and crossley. well thats what hartlepool fans would reckon anyways, even if seven isnt ten! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 He was superb at Luton when he came on after the Rubes red card, and was again unlucky with injuries I guess to be taken off five mins into the next game at BP. Still think he could do a job if we need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
