All hail the scottish wonder

[url width=320 height=424]http://videocelts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ferry-Simon-Swindon1.jpg[/url]

Not overstating the point to say his was the best midfield performance i've seen all year today. Never gave the ball and popped up literraly everywhere. Pity he didn't start the season, but he is just going to get better and better and better.

He's my new favourite player :)

Needs a haircut.

I also thought he was our best player against Peterborough.

I also like the fact that before they interview him after every match they have to remind him its live but I dont like the fact he wears skinny jeans.

He reminds me a little bit of gazza. A sensible gazza

he's on the radio doing a quiz now!

He's been great recently. Hopefully he can put his injuries behind him and stay in the side for a prolonged period of time.

He's been highly under-used this season... he's great.

please tell me im not the only one listening to him on the radio, he's hilarious...

"How sad is this boy's life?"

a good player when we are the side on top.not so good in a battle though.
played well tonight.deserves to start next game

I think i've always been a little bit gay for him.

over christmas we had Lucas in talking about music

ferry: i watched that!!

Jedward

He was much more like the Ferry of last year tonight.

Was that deliberate? I mean, what with it being the 3rd January like :hmmm:

Usually agree with alot you say but have to say he has been under used so much this season i personally can't see that as a case this season tbh .

Played very well tonight. his bursting runs forward reminded me of Ward's goal against, oh, Charlton last year! Just needs to be a bit more consistent and he'll deservedly keep his place.

He plays deep to allow Prutton and Timlin to wander forward abit.
Was impressed with Prutton's fitness today...lets hope we are starting to see him near his best.
Ferry kept it simple today...some of our passing out of defence was sublime.

That turn ferry did on the edge of our box before he cleared it took the piss out of that charlton cunt

Superb

i think the physical side of his game is his only real flaw.at times it has him really struggling.
i like him,and like i said should keep his place.

He was a fucking machine last night. Heroic display.

Thank goodness Danny Wilson allowed to him to fully recover from injury, right? :D

Ferry is a grafter and something we need in that midfield.  Unfortunately we have so many midfielders that when someone comes into the team and does well, he should stay in the team, e.g. Timlin.

Dooooooogie will be having his place i think.

Behind Timlin in the pecking order. How undignified

Ferry forgot to put sugar in wilson's tea and will now never get a game again.

no Dave

just fucking unbelievable

Didn't Batch say in the match day thread there's a rumour that Ferry wants out and that McGovern & Sheehan are very unhappy? Could be bollocks.

Judging by that they all want out

I'd understand it if we were like 1-0 up and shutting up shop - but 1-0 down to Yeovil. Its got to rank up there with some of Kings tactics!

Yes. But they are rumours not facts. And since two of those haven't played much this season they are bound to be unhappy.
-------
Quite how Ferry is behind Timlin in the pecking order is way way beyond bizarre.

Ferry hasn't played much and he's been overlooked a lot i wouldn't blame him if he was pissed off especially when he see's Timlin coming in instead of him!

Where did you hear the rumour about Wilson being on thin ice and may be gone by Monday?

I cant say, which I know is very very annoying.

However thinking about it I can't see how the person who said it would have a clue anyway. It would be a boardroom decision and they wouldn't know how the wind was blowing up there.

Seems to me Douglas and Ferry have fallen out. I can't see any other reason Ferry isn't playing.

Because I'm sad like that I thought I'd try and see just how much of a difference he makes.

Overall record this season: W9 D8 L12

Record in games where Ferry has played the 90 mins: W5 D3 L3

Small sample size but still staggering that he seems to be Wilson's fourth choice at CM.

Bring back the douglas and ferry of last season, prutton was wank on saturday!!!

King had tactics?  (In a Blackadder 'Our battles are directed?' stylee).

Simon Ferry did more in his 15 minutes today than Michael timlin has in the last 15 years of his life

Bit harsh. Timlin was a hell of a lot better than Douglas today.

Wrong

They were both shit

I thought Ferry was anonymous after he came on.

I don't think he was great but then i dont think he is a left winger is.

He was in acres of space a lot of the time, but we were too slow/inept/kept being closed down by carlise to notice. Should also have been played in by obika in the second half

At least when he passed the ball it went to someone wearing red :)

Can't blame Obika he's a striker and his natural instinct was to go for goal. Too often fans moan at our players for not taking a shot at goal and when they do the'r moaned at for not passing

Timlin nearly made a couple of killer passes and would have found a Town player in acres of space - unfortunately the lino wasn't in the same team.

I thought Ferry did well. There's a good tempo to his game and he uses the ball well.  At Rovers, as part of a 3 he was lost, not helped by an aerial game and shocking team performance. I don't understand why the dice keeps on being rolled for team selection but never falls on him.

Paul Hart trolled the fuck out of Ferry today

What the fuck was that about.

what happend?

Ferry was stripped off, on the touchline ready to come on, 4th official ready to raise the board an everything. The hart tells him to sit down and brings on Timlin

oh dear.

I feel for Fezzer. He hasn't done a lot wrong. When Hart came in he perhaps rightly told him to knuckle down and stop fucking around on Twitter and work on his fitness. To be fair he did that. So why doesn't get get a look in? I wouldn't blame Ferry for fucking off somewhere else in the summer. He's been pretty poorly treated by both Wilson and Hart this season. He's probably had more than enough of STFC.

Absolute farce and Ferry must have felt quite stupid. Unfortunately the shouts of 'There's only one Simon Ferry' were drowned out when Notts County scored. Hart fully deserved all the abuse he was getting fucking clueless twat.

Surely he signed a 2-3 year contract so doesn't have the option of fucking off somewhere else unless the club are keen to offload him.  Given that we probably paid a decent amount for him I can't see Fitton writing off that "investment" and given that a new manager should be arriving we should be planning for Ferry to be a key part of the team for next season.

Maybe so. I think from a player perspective though given what he did last season he's probably wondering why he even bothered coming back.

:D

I agree - hopefully a new manager will get him motivated, get him enjoying his game and make him feel that he wants to continue to be part of the club

Yeah so apparently Ritchie had a "stomach ache" and had to be switched for Timlin, who's a better striker than Ferry.

yes - the interview just let that comment pass by - who was Ferry going to replace and why, with Ritchie going off was it not another attacking player replacing him?

He should have stuck Benyon on for Ritchie.

Even Ferry for Ritchie would have done, with Ferry playing off Andrew. What Hart said after the game just made no sense, and as cheltred says its a shame Vic didn't push him further on the issue. Although to be fair, Hart was being an arse about it all so you can't blame Vic too much.

Ferry, Ferry, Ferry Ferrrryyyy
I love how your passes find their man
Ferry, Ferry, Ferry Ferrrryyyy
No-one else can do it like you can

Jolene - Dolly Parton

Ferry, Ferry, Ferry, Ferry
I love how your passes find their man
Ferry, Ferry, Ferry, Ferry
No-one else can do it like you can

Your style is beyond compare
With dodgy clothes and shocking hair
We signed you from the famous side in green

And when you played, well we all new
The magic things that you could do
Bossing the midfield like xavi

You like to dictate play from deep
I really hope that we can keep
You in the middle of the park, ferry

And I could never comprehend
why Wilson left you on the bench
your much better than prutton was, ferry

Ferry, Ferry, Ferry, Ferry
I love how your passes find their man
Ferry, Ferry, Ferry, Ferry
No-one else can do it like you can

You could have your choice of clubs
Who’d pay top notch for that right foot
I’m flattered that you bless our humble team

I had to write this song for you
Expressing all my gratitude
For everything you choose to do, ferry

Ferry, Ferry, Ferry, Ferry
I love how your passes find their man
Ferry, Ferry, Ferry, Ferry
No-one else can do it like you can

There surely has to be a song out there somewhere to the tune of Ferry Across The Mersey.........

Ferry, Simon Ferry
He's our midfield dynamo........

etc.etc....

Ferry has deleted his Twitter account @siferrytapboi within the last 24 hours. Without wanting to turn this into a twitter is shit thread, does anyone know why this might be.....and without wanting to start any rumours, has anyone seen or heard anything in the past few days?

He had deleted it before Saturday's game.

He had re-tweeted something in the week before from some dickhead that was giving him abuse.
It may have been because of that, but I've no idea.

Simon Ferry has had more comebacks than The Eagles.

I expect he's planning to get on it at every opportunity and would rather not broadcast it to the boss

Shame, he was random but occasionally came out with some classics. That's more likely Flash :pint:

Its like the 5th time he's quit Twitter now, he'll be back.

For a manager as strict as we have, i'm surprised he hasn't banned the players using twitter. I would as it serves no purpose at all

he probably keeps forgetting his password

Gittaefuck, I imagine.
