Just shows how invaluable he is to Linlithgow Rose and well deserving of his testimonial 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravehearts dad Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 We’ll see how good he is next season(if still there) when you are likely to be playing in a stronger league with stronger teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted the opposition hasn't always been great this season - same for most of the teams who moved to the EoS. The big difference TC regularly scored 30 plus most seasons whilst in the Super League against good opposition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 ......mainly soft penalties to be fair. Couldn't resist that wee (predictable) dig. The exceptional goal scoring record of TC over several seasons speaks for itself but how long can he be the main man at the rose ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his positional sense, touch and finishing mean there are many more goals in him yet, he just needs others to do his running for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he's got himself fitter than in the previous 2-3 seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes may be fitter but his legs can't do the running he used to do. And ex player said to me that was at shire game on a bigger pitch he looked well off it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC has never been a flying machine - as with all good strikers his defining work comes within the box and in his goals return - something which he has proved beyond doubt season after season.

FuzzyBear Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I see we are looking for sponsors for a "Stadium Naming Opportunity". The "Fuzzy Bear Arena" has a certain ring to it but I wonder if any local businesses will look to partake in this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Plus you don't need to run far taking penalties - lol) It's a very important point with TC, his game has never relied on pace. He's not one for running into space behind defences, and given that Rose are favourites in the majority of matches they play we have more need for a striker who can play with his back to goal and find space in the box. Even as age catches up with him I wouldn't expect any sudden drop in the number of goals he gets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game which TC was absent from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
