Could do a job?

I actually still love him.

 

[GreersElbow]

Yeah but can he play left back? Not being funny Bozza but we're in need of one.

He was good for odd moments but not enough of them.

 

[Easy 10]

I was always baffled at the cult status he seemed to enjoy with some fans here. A few mazy dribbles that invariably came to nothing, yet we were so desperately BAD that season, that some people were still crying out for him to come off the bench or to get a start. He was utter junk.

But I suppose when you had a midfield containing JFC and Gardner, almost anything would seem preferable.

Those odd moments would only be between a) being passed the football and b) losing possession.

That is all.

 

[Springal]

Biggest myth going. That standard is pretty much Sunday league

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I thought he was wonderful. In a team where people thought Rohan Ince was good, to have a player with that natural ability and willingness to try something like daring to beat a man was a sight to behold.

I always think that people who didn't like McCourt because he didn't "do it enough" are the same people who, when asked about Vicente, say something like "Yeah but he was injured a lot" rather than "OH MY GOD. WE HAD VICENTE".

McCourt is going to end up with a lovely end of career montage.

This.

He was proper gash

I remember him doing something similar for Barnsley against us at the Amex.

Had his chance here. Great talent in glimpses but never seemed fit enough to play week in week out.

Another gifted player wasted his talent IMHO - still only 33 but playing non-league

There is a difference between not doing it enough, and not doing it at all.

Had talent for sure but also probably wasted his career, could of been a top player with the right manager.

 

[Easy 10]

Always looked like he'd slept in a bus shelter.

the combined efforts of Upson, Bridcutt, Ward and Bruno couldn't stop him.

Still not lost his pace

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

I wrote an article about him to The Albion Mag. He's one of those players that we've all played with at sunday league level- turns up about 5 minutes before kick off, he's forgotten his boots, he NEVER brings money and he's hungover. He played with a blissful unawareness of the general game- he'd just kind of stand around and then if he got it he'd go on an epic solo run

Football Manager Stats: Dribbling: 20 Everything else: 0

I liked him

If you don't like Paddy McCourt, you don't like football. It really is that simple.
