Bollocks

The season begins to unravel before it has begun.

If Robbie does leave Clach, It will be a big loss as he was a huge player for the club last year and will be a massive loss but hopefully it will give another of John Beatons outstanding youngsters to shine through and make a name for themselves, I will be looking out for Clach this season and wish them all the best

I would think that plans are in place to cover the loss........

Is this Robbie Duncanson of Arderseir way? I went to school with the guy. Good striker but something of an ego goes with him.

Yup.

interested to hear why both of you think he has an ego ?

I wasn't passing comment on his ego, mearly confirming who he is.

okey dokey so then RIG , what has he done to make you think he has an ego ?

He was always cocky and full of himself when I played with him. Can be a good thing but I can see why it would irritate others.

Aye, he was a cocky wee bugger at times, especially over his football but he was a good lad. And to be fair he got better as he got older.

I'm just finding it hysterical that a boy I was in school with from Primary 2 until Fifth Year has a thread about him on a board I post. Magic.

Agreed! I think the word "scamp" was designed with him in the mind!

He will take a lot of replacing Rowan. I appreciate you have inside knowledge but I can't imagine how Clach have someone with similar ability to do the job.

Don't know if they can replace a player like Robbie at this stage of the season?, He did very well last year but I am sure he will do a great job at Deveronvale if he equals or gets better than last year they will be big contenders for the league.

They will be phoning up Alex Bone

I know he was a key player for you last season and to be honest I don't really have any inside knowledge other but that the article isn't really a true reflection on what has gone on.

I just know that the club have been aware that he's going to be going for a while.

oooohhhh controversial

you can't leave it at that Rowan , let's hear more

there is a difference between confidence and arrogance , i think he is borderline on the confidence side

confidence = Pele , Zidane etc

Arrogance = Maradona , Ronaldo etc

there is a fine line all brilliant players mind you

Are you comparing Duncanson to Pele and Zidane?

Surely maradona had both of those traits, in fact most of the above mentioned i'd have put under both.

I'd put Zidane under arrogance also, but not too sure about Pele as i'm too young too comment on him, more thazn the WC goals you see from him.

You never hear much about Pele's playing career outwith Brazil.

Theres nothing wrong with arrogance if you have the skills to pay the bills.

I assume by Ronaldo, we are speaking about that pansy from Portugal and not the trinagle-shaped haircut wonder from Brazil.

Aah, i made the assumption it was the latter..

i concur , doesn't stop the arrogant ones been twats though does it ?

you should know Jimmy , a certain Alex Bone would come under that category

i don't think Zidane was arrogant in the slightest but maybe i am just biased since he has been the greatest footballer in the last 20 years (Maradona was past his peak by 88 in case anyone tries to be pedantic)

and yeah was talking about the tango man ronaldo not the pubic hair heid one

but going back to the initial subject , i wouldn't class RD as having that arrogance , just a cheeky confidence

but Rowan still interested to hear it from the other side of the fence , obviously you either won't or can't go into too much detail but summarize for us the views from what you know

Yup. As I say, the word "scamp" was made for him.
