McShane

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

What sort of reception did he get from our fans last night. Just curious.

 

[Simster]

Largely ignored, very minor booing.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I for one am very happy to see him playing for Palace. If he screws up as much for them as he has for every other club he's played for since leaving United, he will prove to be a genuine comedy acquisition for them.

Righto, cheers for that.

Do YOU know what DAY it IS?

Watching the extended highlights on my iphone app at the moment and I must say Bob Booker is an absolutely terrific co-commetator. As biased as you can possibly get!

Me?

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

Of course, meant Tuesday.

Thought McShane played quite well, and same when he came on against Cardiff

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

He seemed to tidy up quite nicely and get some good blocks in

 

[TheMajor]

He got no reception from us because apparently we didn't sing at all

Short memories!

He was our Player of the Year in 2005/06 ...

With a few exceptions, loan players often more lively than contract players that have become complacent.

What app is that?

Because of one goal (which he didn't actually score).

 

[Red'n'Blue]

He has been quality so far.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Very mixed - no one could really hear the tannoy around me though.
I expect he would have got cheers if more people had heard his name read out.

About time that we had an out and out biased Albion commentatator. When it comes to the Albion I want our lot to be as passionate and biased as many of the European sides-doesn't matter how biased, so long as it's Albion biased.

Very mixed - no one could really hear the tannoy around me though.
I expect he would have got cheers if more people had heard his name read out.

That's because, in a move entirely bereft of any class, they read our team name out in a whisper before turning the volume up to 11 in order to scream out the names of their lot at the top of their kit's capabilities.

Personally, I didn't boo McShane - I thought he was a good player for us, and he had a good game on Tuesday. His block about one minute after we equalised, clearing the ball for a corner, looked vital. He was a loanee for us, now he's a loanee for them - this hardly puts him in the same bracket as Mr Murray.

Because of one goal (which he didn't actually score).

As I said, short memories. He was a defender, not a striker, despite which he scored more than the goal disputed.

There's a good summary of what he did for us at:

What app is that?

It's the Football League official app and is cracking. Think it is about 9 quid a season and you get prematch pressers with Gus and sometimes a player then post match reaction, the highlights the next day and the extended highlights with SCR commentary. This plus obviously all the latest news.
