[Football] Conor Goldson take a bow

[Palacefinder General]

Love hearing that Goldson’s having a great career at the Gers, definitely a wise career move.

Top bloke and forever gutted he’s still not here.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

That's him and Oliver Norwood both captaining their sides in the Premier Division in their respective countries. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Captaining a team in the SPL is one thing, but captaining a team in the English version is a far geeater achievement.

Loved his chant. Always welcome back, a promotion hero.

Indeed, less than three years on and very few of them still left at the club.

2015 to Easter 2017 .... amazing times to be an Albion fan.

2015 to Easter 2017 .... amazing times to be an Albion fan.

By far the best l've ever known in nearly forty years of watching the Albion.

Love seeing us in the Premier League too of course, but somehow just getting there was the really exciting bit.

 

[Invicta]

The irony being that if Celtic go through then Scotland rises to 13 in the UEFA league rankings.

That's two Champions League spots.

Celtic will be happy to lose then !

 

[portslade seagull]

Thought Rangers were offloading him. Must have changed their minds looked good though won everything in the air

2015 to Easter 2017 .... amazing times to be an Albion fan.

Goldson was actually with us until summer 2018. 3 full seasons and he only made 32 appearances, the majority of which were in the second half of the 15/16 season.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Goldson was good and a nice bloke, but certainly not PL standard.

It was, wasn’t it? It’s for this reason that relegation wouldn’t be the end of the world to me; although that’s easy for me to say as a fan who’ll not be covering the losses we’d make if we went back down.

 

[papajaff]

I was shouted down when I said we were mad to let him go. I was right.

And for a poxy 3m.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Indeed, less than three years on and very few of them still left at the club.

Think it’s quite impressive we still have Dunk, Duffy, Stephens, March, Murray featuring regularly. Don’t think we had that many still with us from the end of Poyet to promotion.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Goldson was good, but there was a reason Hughton went out and bought Duffy. Goldson was slightly suspect in the air at the top level

 

[darkwolf666]

At least Goldson never had the misfortune of Asa Hartford, who also had a heart defect (hole in the heart), with David Coleman creating one of his famous Colemanballs, by describing Hartford as a wholehearted player!

3m was a good price for a defender that wasn’t even our first choice when we were in the Championship. The SPL is nowhere near the level of the Premier League, and Rangers would probably struggle to make the play offs in the Championship.

Hughton apparently made this decision after that 2-2 Burnley game in 2016, when we conceded a last minute equaliser direct from a corner.

Same for me, on a par with Taylor/Mullery Jan76 (my Albion start) to May 79.

How many home league wins did we see from Jan15 to Easter 17? Countless occasions leaving the Amex very happy.

 

[JBizzle]

Indeed, less than three years on and very few of them still left at the club.

It'd be even more if some fans had their way... Stephens, March, Duffy, potentially Murray get absolute pelters at various times this season. The only one immune continues to be Dunk. Let's not pretend that if Goldson were still here, there wouldn't be sections wanting him out too.

That side, those two years were amazing. Two of my absolute favourite years

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Oh come on. Goldson couldn’t get a look in over the last two seasons because Dunk and Duffy have been immense. So now you’re saying, with such incredible hindsight because Duffy has not been at his best, that we should have kept him? I seem to remember the same situation with Steve Cook when he went to Bournemouth. It happens, when you’ve got a surplus of good players vying for the same position that the unlucky ones will move on.

Both Duffy and Dunk were excellent last season however this pairing has been messed about with this season and the centre of defense is not what it was
