As he was ineligible to play I doubt he left the comforts of his own home. |

Some of the people who posted in this thread need a fucking CAT scan asap.
A bigger loss than Cox?
Fucking brilliant player?
Jesus cunting Christ.
After watching the goal highlights of the '89-90 season, David Kerslake was putting more dangerous crosses that Macca ever did, as Kerslake was prepared to try and beat the opposing full back and get to the byline, which Macca hardly ever did. Yes the front two at the time were shear class in comparison now, but the supply of crosses which MacNamee did were, on the whole, poor. I cannot remember him beating at opposition full back and getting to the byline for over a year. Good riddance. |

Kersy was class though. Good defensively but a load of little flicks and tricks as well. I remember him doing a lovely little behind the leg flick against newcastle in 93 and a nice little stab flick over an on rushing fullback around that time. Really was good football in those days.

Kers was a class signing by Ossie.To convert him to fullback/wing back was even more of
a masterstroke.

I've always been a big fan of McNamee, but I'm surprisingly not bothered by him leaving. He doesn't seem to be having the same effect on games this season that he did last. Not sure why, maybe its down to our style of play changing?
We seem to be more defence minded this season, perhaps just due to the fact we've got a solid defence who are confident on the ball and we can build from the back more - especially as we've got a very solid defensive midfielder in Douglas to hold things together.
I'm sure the loss of Cox has got a lot to do with it as well as they linked up well last season. At least, McNamee could put a ball in to the box and know there was a good chance of someone who can score being on the end of it.
I could be talking total shit of course, but as I said, I don't think the loss of this seasons McNamee is anywhere near as bad as losing him last season would have been.

Beckham has done a lot of damage to the old style of British wingers. Because of him so many wingers dont try and beat the full backs and end up basically wacking the ball into the defender.
Beckham can do it, but most players do need to make the space to cross.
Lets have O'Brien and Macklin on the wings, beating the opposition for pace, that will give the crowd some real excitement.
