I think you should play them January 2nd too. Big game at home, important you do well, full strength side required. Send your reserves to Palmerston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway if the temperature is less than 4 degrees the game at Palmerston will be off and we could ply Livi at home instead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still see big Roy standing 25 yards out hitting the ball perfectly on the volley and the ball screaming into the back of the net with such force it flew straight back out and landing near the centre circle The referee thought it had hit the bar as did half the players and spectators but the linesman on the far side raised his flag giving the goal- This takes me back to anothther incident in the late sixties at home against opposition I have forgotten big Roy was flattened by a terrible tackle and was carried off in great pain- His leg might have been broken but I cannot fully remember Anyway nowadays a player being carried off would receive polite applause but not then The adults took the opportunity to light up another Senior Service whilst the wains took the opportunity to scout for stones to throw at the ballboys As big Roy was carried in great pain towards the stand one worthy leant on on the boundary wall and roared Take the useless B out the back and shoot the B Aye those were days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been on his Instagram too I take it. He's a good looking chap and has a cool name. Hopefully we sign him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Had a look at his highlights reel and it looks very decent (better than Froxy’s did) he appears to be an attack minded deep-lying midfielder who likes to skip by players, has excellent passing range and is left footed. Also the pace of the games he was playing in was faster than ours so hopefully you can read more into that than Seb Osei Obengo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This is amazing. I love the Cypriot press. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftvonenews.com.cy%2Fgnwriste-ton-seksi-podosfairisth-aimilio-panagiwtoy-mesa-apo-to-instagram 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure of the Souness comparison, looks more like a Craig Sibbald to me, but that would be perfectly acceptable [emoji106] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Roy later said a St Mirren defender had let the linesman know it was a goal. I also remember his leg being broken. But it was usual back then to applaud a player who was being carried off. Big Roy was mysteriously under appreciated by some in the Sons support, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Roy was mysteriously under appreciated by some in the Sons support, though. The defender was Iain Munro, and it's hard to imagine such sportsmanship today.Big Puma broke his leg in a 3-0 home win over Motherwell in (I think) late 1973, a very sad footnote to what was a wonderful display by Sons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
