Hey Kingers, since you dont seem to look at your phone these days I'll ask you on here the same as I asked on Whats App..... will you now agree that Parrott is a number 9????

he forgot that part when he was crediting himself for Troy's career over on his thread

I don't think he's an out and out number 9, no, even allowing for this week - I think he's so much more than that.
He contributes across the front line and from deep as we saw across these match days and as we've seen for Alkmaar. And as you know, I'm basing this on what I've seen of him since he's 14, playing up a year - not just what a lot of people are claiming to see him do for Ireland at senior level.

I know this is going to sound ridiculous (even typing it in my head I know it's ridiculous) but I don't think we've any comparison for him - genuinely. Of our previous front line players he's probably most like Robbie Keane, but in a lot of aspects I think he's better than Robbie. I think the fact that he was sort of forced to be the totem (for the want of a better word) in a system in England stymied him in his pathway. He's never been, nor should he have expected to be, that.

I know, I know, I know.

I was trying to see how one can painlessly remove those bottom two ribs.

I was thinking the exact same. I think he has more to his game than Robbie did and look, time well tell on the goal count

David Connolly wrote this on Twitter, obviously in real time, and it’s bang on. A small tweak can make a big difference

‘Putting a left footer, in Scales, at near post space with corners from the Hungary left means any clearance is unnatural. A right footer clears the danger down field with their leading leg. Unfortunate miscue for the first goal.’

We had a rule defending corners:

- Front Post defending the corner from the right-back's side of the pitch has to be defended by the left-full/left-footer, because the right-footer covering the front post correctly will not be able to clear the perfect corner properly;
- Front Post defending the corner from the left-back's side of the pitch has to be defended by the right-full/right-footer, because the left-footer covering the front post correctly will not be able to clear the perfect corner properly;

Just reading through this thread. The number of people who wanted both Azaz and Scales off. Sometimes the manager does know best.

Haven't had such a buzz since O'Shea equalised in Germany. The German fans were doing waves at the time. Similarly the Hungarian supporters were celebrating when they were 2-1 up. It's never over until the fat lady does her party piece. I thought those days were over but isn't it great for the younger generation who haven't had anything close to this before.

A day never to be forgotten.

Thanks for the reminder of that O'Shea goal. I was living in China at the time and woke up the whole building screaming and roaring at 4am 😂
