[Albion] Liam Rosesnior-When Brighton told me I was being released, it was a bitter pill to swallow

[Weststander]

He signed from a Prem team so wouldn't have taken a big drop in wages and I'm sure his contract would have included a promotion pay rise.

We’ll never know. I hope it did. If anyone deserved that, Liam did.

 

[clippedgull]

I still doubt he would want to drop his wages from c.£20k per week to c.£1k per week.

That may be the 'bitter pill' he's on about.

He seems to have his head screwed on correctly, so the hundreds of thousands he has banked throughout his career should see him ok going forward.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

There’s probably a maximum number of this type of player/personality that a squad can cope with/handle/self regulate through for want of a better word banter that knocks that person down a peg or two.

Whether CH would want to indulge such personalities for the sake of on the pitch success remains to be seen.

More generally as a club since I’ve been supporting (1987) fwiw I can’t recall us having a player universally thought of as a bit of a bell end or big time charlie.

Even personalities like CKR, Leon Knight who were often outspoken and confident never came across anywhere near as bad as maybe a Scott McGleish type.

Maybe NSC can enlighten me as to people I’ve forgotten?

The utter clown who gifted 2 goals away at Brentford and one at home circa 99 was apparently a total nobber off the pitch. And surely Jamie Moralee can't be a top lad. But those were different times.

Liam is a top man and I wish him all the best for the future. He was an important piece of the jigsaw that saw us gel and kick on - just what were Hull thinking letting him go and where are they now?

As for the article I thought it was a very honest and insightful piece.

Liam, we salute you.

I suspect I am alone but this photo really winds me up. I don’t need someone to tell what he was trying, i’ll do it myself. An ok player who I respect and wish him the best, but not a legend

You are alone.

You are alone.

I’m cool with that, never one to follow the crowd

However do you get to see the matches then ?

One of favourite images and moments looking back.

Contrast that to Poyet sticking the boot in about ceilings after we'd been knocked out of the play offs.

You’re testing me I would have been there but can’t remember who?

Was that the first of the consecutive 4-0 games? Though they may have been later I think 02 & 03 maybe.

It was 2-0, August 98 I think, but the player I have in mind is not listed in our squad on one site I found. My recollecton is he played only 3 games.

It was Glen Thomas, subbed off at half time against Brentford and then again in the following home game against Mansfield and was thankfully never seen again.

That's the one. God, what a nightmare that was. And apparently quite a little charmer off the pitch to boot.....according to someone who had the misfortune to spend a small amount of time with him....
I was at that Brentford game and he gifted both goals in a horrible fashion. And I saw his other shambolic games too. My recollections of his contribution are on a par with recollections one might have (I don't, thankfully) of accidentally catching a glimps of your parents in flagrante

Thank god one of us remembered. So bad i'd blanked him out of my mind. Was at the game as well. Remember being mildly impressed when he signed (nearly 300 games for Fulham etc) and then immediately realising he was utter bobbins from the first minute of his first appearance.

In a defensive pairing with Ashley Neal #shudder

Ashley Neal was a couple of seasons before, he played for us at The Goldstone Ground, Thomas was from the Gillingham days. From what I remember (and what soccerbase seems to show) Thomas was part of a 5 man defence with Ian Culverhouse and Derek Allan alongside him central defence, Kerry Mayo and Peter Smith playing as wing backs.

Culverhouse and Smith - FLAIRTASTIC.

Apologies, I was convinced they were the worst pair I'd ever seen. Must have each been half of a terrible pairing with two other non-legends! Blimey, I've seen some clowns play for us over the years.

We’ll never know. I hope it did. If anyone deserved that, Liam did.

When Chris O'Grady (remember him?) was still contracted as a Brighton player, he was gutted that we failed to get promoted as it would have meant that his final year salary would have doubled from £500k to £1m despite him being nowhere near playing for us (fortunately).

If he had a contract like that then I'm pretty sure a player as valued as Liam would have had something similar/been on at least £1m in the PL.

And yes, the O'Grady story is FACT.
