Inigo Calderon - Legend

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Needs to be on legends wall. Cant believe the cant ****ing defend for shit bruno gets a year but not calde. Sack the board.

 

[Blackadder]

He is a legend and we all love him

Yeah.... eh.. can we forget that half time chat where I said he needed to come off because he was not a midfielder and off the pace!

:returnoftherev: Sorry I meant

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Who constantly writes Calde off? He can be a part of the playing squad right up until his 60th birthday for all I care, as long as he's here I'll be happy (and I suspect others would be the same).

 

[Bombadier Botty]

The Calde situation is a bit like the unfortunate Kuipers, who missed out on turning out for us at The Amex after years of loyal service to the club. In a similar vein, the loyalty to BHA shown by Calde, who could have signed for Saints and gone on to play for them in the top flight has almost certainly meant that his chance to play at the highest level in England has gone for good.

 

[W.C.]

The Amex should renamed after him.

The Calderon.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

The Calderon.

Wouldn't be sufficient. Maybe the city of Brighton could be renamed Calderon.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Didn't have the best first half, took his goals very well though. Thought he was just onside for his first and the replay seems to confirm that. Would have loved for him to get a third today and complete a hat-trick, you know you will always get 100% effort and commitment from Calde even on a poor day he won't let his head drop and will keep trying.

 

[Norman Potting]

Great to see him score on his 200th appearance. I was willing a hat trick, I am sure the place would have gone utterly mental.

 

[pasty]

I was looking for the flag, but the replay showed a defender playing him on.

Yeah, just seen it on FLS. From my seat I couldn't see the Brum player behind him playing him on which is why he looked a yard off.

 

[Stat Brother]

I guess the rest of the team thought he was offside as well.

That can be the only reason for leaving him to celebrate on his own in front of the north east corner.

 

[Hamilton]

Great to see him score on his 200th appearance. I was willing a hat trick, I am sure the place would have gone utterly mental.

I didn't realise it was the Legend's 200th appearance. I think for milestones like that the player in question should lead the team out, or be first out onto the pitch.

Was his 200th appearance in all competitions and also his 150th start for us in the league.

He was last off, instead.

If only the club had a legends wall Calde would be deserving of a place.




Oh and as for Bruno getting a contract and Calde not, bollox on this thread.
Calde will be offered a new contract to sign, he will sign it, so what's the rush.
He's not going anywhere else, and he's likely to turn up next season anyway, with or without a contract.

 

[Marshy]

Had stockdale not saved the penalty, listening to Hughton interview I am pretty sure Calderon would have been off at half time

 

[jasetheace]

Wouldn't be sufficient. Maybe the city of Brighton could be renamed Calderon.

Like this. My mate Pedro already says, that "we will give you back Brighton when you give us back Gibraltar". Only problem is, Gibraltar is a shit-hole and they can have that back anyway.

Anyway, back on topic. Calde is a legend and sorry if fixtures but I noted for the first time yesterday that Leon had seemingly been removed from the legends wall. Fitting place for Calde.

And another thing, surely someone has the club has sat down with Calde, told him to do his badges as he is not going anywhere and will be part of the coaching team...

 

[Eeyore]

We are getting a cat soon. I shall be pushing for the name 'Inigo'.

 

[pigbite]

Absolutely love the man. He's been my favourite player for years. We've had some great representatives on the pitch like Liam and Bobby but Calde's positivity and commitment is so consistent and backed up by the shifts he put in I think he truly an Albion legend. I also really like his attitude to education and football - he has a real long term view.

I did not know he was on 200 games yesterday - that should have been marked in some way - perhaps a montage of his goals could still be put together.

I really hope we keep him at the club not just as a player but on the coaching staff. Would a future manager be asking too much?

 

[Surf's Up]

Love him, admire him, please give him a new deal, however for me was very poor first half and should not be playing midfield, got away with it today with his goals. Love him more than ever though

Yup, agree with this. His goals masked a generally poor but enthusiastic performance today. And I love him as much as the next man!!

 

[vegster]

Always plays with passion and has adopted the club as much as the fans have adopted him. We have been lucky with a few " Legends " over the years, I would put him in the same bracket as Oats and Mayo.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Not 100% sure, but from block G, WSU he looked at least a yard offside for his first goal. Was he?

Probably answered further down the thread, but no he wasn't offside. Watched FL show carefully and he timed his run like a true striker. We should give him another year!
