conlon worst player weve ever had

[jonny2201]

i honestly say hes shit , what you want from a striker is more than 3 goals in a season and all his goals nearly eccept the lincoln one are from the penalty spots


Why doesn't thorne take the penaltys

or willy topp

why choose a striker who cant score from open play a sttriker ment to score form open play (and cant hit a fucking barn door) .


and not just cos of this match yes hes got great hold up play but i couldn't give a fuck a striker ment to put the ball in the back of the net

[Dr Wisey]

feel better now?

He was obviously given the role of pen taker - thats down to the players themselves - you don't see anyone else rushing to take them.

Worst player ever? - nope, no way, at least he shows commitment and hard work - we've had some other plonkers in the past that can carry the title - thinking of the likes of Darren Crybaby Tracy / Dowson.

dowson wasnt anywhere near the worst ever solid defender just a tad slow...agree on the others though and dont forget Jason Gavin

[Gary1975]

Darren Morgan :)

Who was that shit C/Defender with the Tache? - I don't mean Dave Evans, later than that but shit - around the same time as Wayne Heseltine - another dope from the past lol

Still shit though lol

conlon lost us the game! He is awful!

[Parrot]

Hoyle had a bad start but improved, hence his big money move shortly after!

Anyone remember Steve Gardener? ;)

[emj]

Why was a guy that had just got of the bench allowed to take a penalty?
I would have thought that someone up to speed in the game would have taken it.

or maybe someboday who doesnt take gay penalties:flame:

[Legend_4]

I totally agree!

Conlon should never have taken the pen after only having been on 2 mins. Also, did anyone else notice him running away in the opposite direction half celebrating, when if he had been following his pen in, then it would have dropped right at his feet with an open goal! - That is the reason we lost today. I am sure, that if we had scored the pen, then we would have gone on to win the game. We were so dominant in the 2nd half.

Why didn't someone say "hang on a minute, you've only just come on, let Thorne take it"?

Also, didn't Thorne say after Law missed a pen earlier in the season, that he would be throwing his hat into the ring to take pens from then on?

I am really angry about this. I drive all the way up from London for home games, and this lack of ability to make a good decision at a crucial time has cost us three points and wiped out all the good work from 2 successive league wins.

Best post ive seen for a while!!

Conlon can't shoot at the best of times!

why didn't willy take it?? or thorne?

willy looked as though he couldnt stand up after the tackle let alone take a penalty

[Yeadon Bantam]

ye but he recovered quickly imo ....

[Yeadon Bantam]

was it even a penner in the first place? the one were colbeck ran through looked more like a pen to me

[Wicker Man]

Conlon is alright, he's just not good enough for a promotion winning side

thus we should get rid of him in the summer

[CTID86]

why didnt willy take it? cause he cant hit a barndoor either. i think we will be waiting till next season for his first goal

[Jamaica Love]

Colbeck was a massive dive, he should have been booked to be fair! But why o why was conlon on pens??? Although why didnt one of the other players say...NO....im taking it? The fact of the matter is Conlon is the only one who is not a bottler!

Stu said after the game that the penalty taker is the one one the field who is up for it and takes the ball -- maybe the others are a bit scared of Big Baz :wet: he's a battler but without skill or goal scoring ability.

he is a battler but he will never score goals..

I remeber us having this scenario b4 when none of the senior players would step up to the plate when young symes had to take a last min pen somewhere. Some argue that pen miss ruined his whole bradford career, seems to me that we would be much better off naming a player as the pen taker who is in the first 11. Who would have taken that pen should conlon have been off the field

[Parrot]

How many had he scored previously though?

I know he was gonna miss sooner or later and wouldnt bet him scoring a open goal ffs!

I think he must be going through a confidence crisis which seems to effect most strikers we sign, surely he has being better in front of goal with previous clubs than us?

No doubt we'll offload him to someone like Shrewsbury in the summer and he'll score shitloads for them! :(

[tony d]

conlon lost us the game! He is awful!

Did he fook..We were shite for 70 mins before he came on..

When he Topp and Thorne were playing together Citys game improved ffs..

He may not be great but he linked up better with Thorne in 20 mins than Daley did for the previous 70...

[Superfatbantam]

Worst player I have seen in a City shirt, Paul Tierney.

2nd half we deserved to win! we had them penned in for 40 minutes of it!!

Penned in for 40 mins are you mental???


We had the better of the second half doesnt mean we looked good..

I think you were blinded by Topps couple of touches or the mass or failed crosses by the hugely forgetful and very poor Rhodes..

We were shite and when Conlon and Topp came on we slightly improved due to the ball distribution..

Penned em in....Have a word will you...

[tony d]

Ginger Hopkins, Pet rescue both shocking for City..

PSG man Rodriguiz was piss poor too..

We have always had shite players but the so called rated ones always take precedence over the ones who we signed in the bottom leagues..

As Chuckles says "shit pool" signings.. But how that happened in the 70's and 80's when we had proper managers and proper chairmen who knew how to do their jobs i have no idea....

How did that happen Dave?????

[Lofty]

What about Bryan Robson's briother....what was he called....Gary?? :poo:

Ian Banks :(

[Tallinnbantam]

Ian Banks :(

Banks was quality. I think he holds the record for the fastest ever sending off. He was sent off as a sub on the touchlines whilst waiting to come on (al la John Aldridge for Ireland). We miss the so called 'hard men' in the team. Ian Banks, Micky Kennedy etc. Who've we got now that scares the oppo - umm...Big Baz? He's only fit to scare the oppo fans seated in the top tier of the Dallas stand! :)

[Kop Kred]

Ahh.. Mick Kennedy...

Thought nothing of kicking the opposition over the Bradford End if the situation demanded it... like all the time.

What has happened to good old fashioned English footy.?

We had Lee Crooks, he got stuck in!!

Deano didn't mind a bit of push and shove and Schueys 2 feet tackles scared the life out of me! I always thought he would break someones leg, but he must have perfected the art of non malicious 2 footers!

I tried that in junior football but i got a red card :(

Schuey, Crooks and even Windass were pussycats compared to players like Micky Kennedy & Rod Johnson. Abbo and Ronny Futcher could dish it out though

Who's Citys current hardest player?? I can't think of anyone that you'd shit yoursen over if they threatened to twat you?!

Float like a bee sting like a butterfly Big Baz?? Nah!
Evo could probably "ave a row" but the rest all appear to be soft twats!!

[Superfatbantam]

There isn't one hard man. Wethers can tackle hard when he gets time to set it up, but I can't see anyone who would be scary.

Too true!! Whereas Dag & Red had three or four big lairy fuckers!! :wet::poo:

[king billy]

Oh Micky Micky, Micky, Micky, Micky, Micky - Keeeerrenedy!! Hard as fook - he weren't massive either, never, ever saw him tin out of a challenge - or anyone square up to him - no matter how big they were!!

Abbo could def handle himself too - Goddard never shyed out of a "challenge" either, and don't forget Lee, Lee Duxbureee!!

Who'd have fooked with Bobby Campbell tho - i fookin wouldn't.....:wet:

Bullock would have to be classed as our "tough guy" of the team i suppose at present - but he's a pussy compared to some of the hard men weve had in the past!!

[Yeadon Bantam]

Wouldnt mess with Donovon

[Tyneside BCFC]

Darren Morgan is by far and away the worst player i've ever seen playing for BCFC. One of John Dochertys former Millwall rent boys in the early 90's.

Other players that spring to mind are Mike Duxbury, Gordon Cowans and Craig Ramage.

[Jantje]

Abbo used to scrap with Denis Irwin every time City played oldham & when he left for Man U he turned his attentions to Hulls Billy Askew. Lunatic but a superb loyal player for City.

Futcher was plain evil in the penalty area punching, grabbing or even nutting people.

Darren Treacy (spelling) too - was another of the Docs signings - i'm sure i heard we still held his registration - he did a runner from us because he was homesick and give up football - no great loss to the world of football i don't think - he was shite!!....:poo:

Don't think he was particularly that hard or dirty JS - just an old fashioned centre forward who did his upmost to score!!

[king billy]

Do you remember Billy Whitehurst?....

Probably the hardest bastard that i've ever seen on the footy pitch!! Would have loved for him to have played for us - seem to remember Abbo having a go at him once - i wouldn't have fancied his chances against him tho!!

Big bad Billy Whitehurst!

Millwall and Portsmouth had teams of nutters round that time....Kennedy, Hardyman, Noel Blake, Les Bailey and Terry Hurlock immediately spring to mind! :wet::eek:

Anyone being watching the Big match revisited on Sunday ITV4 just after the Championship?

Proper footy from the 80s jump:

[Mallorcabantam]

Going back in time (50s) -- the 2 hardest men I ever saw were - George Williamson at CH and John (Jock) Whyte RB

When an opposing goalie kicked out a leather, wet and muddy football these guys would get under it and head it straight back -- something that todays hard men could never do

These were 2 guys you didnt want to mess with on the field

Long gone are the day of the hard man now - shame really, the last of that ilk (altho not in the same league) were probably Cantona, Shearer, Keane, Kevin Ball etc.....altho that said Rooney's a strong fooker who i wouldn't want to tangle up with!!

I remember us playing the TBs away when Futch ran through on goal with only the keeper to beat!

The silly old twot pulled his hamstring and went down like he'd being shot :eek: while the ball ran through to their keeper :(

Good job we won 2-1 and it didn't matter eh? :)

[Tallinnbantam]

There is a picture I have seen before of Deano clashing with a Leeds player - who is absolutely shitting himself. Can't seem to find it anymore...but its quality.

I wouldnt have wanted to mess with most of the Man U midfield through the ages - Keane, Robbo, Hughes, Scholes could all tackle right through a player!

In Gazza's autobiog, he talks about the first time he played against Wimbledon and knew that Vinnie Jones was marking him. He says he was being sick in the changing room before hand because he was so scared. Frightening.

tom penford is pretty hard, look how hes teaching this millwall player a lesson n getting stuck in....

I remember a story about a City player, though i can't remember if it was Treacy or Ian McCall (who himself was crap). They lived in Allerton whilst playing for City and one night they got p*ssed up in the boozer at Sandy Lane, came back home, had a full scale drunken barny with their missus and ended up throwing a television out of the living room window leading to the police being called and the player being arrested and cautioned. The player was subsequently sacked by City as they were on a final warning and never played for the club again. Can anyone shed light on which of the players it was?
