QuoteI'd agree with that, in Gaelic particularly so, you either have it or not, take Willie Joe Padden in Gaelic, only about 5'10 but serious ability and strength in the air. Some guys have it some don't.
The fact that you have already argued quite a bit about a picture clearly showing Sammon to be around the same height as some teammates just shows how innately argumentative you are. Or was it an acquired skill nurtured by an argumentative environment?Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin
There absolutely is such thing as innate aerial ability. Just because some players had it without having great skills with their feet doesn't mean it's not an innate ability. Nor does that mean it can't be worked on so I partially accept your point that he could conceivably get better at it.

I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
It's a learned skillI meant if we continued down the road we were going it would very quickly have become an argument in which we are both losers.
There are aspects that are innate like balance and awareness, but mostly it's down to upper body strength and height, and most importantly practice.
Hull supposedly interested in Sammon and Carlton Cole.

Between that and offering McShane a new contract, Bruce really is making up for not lining out for us all those years ago; a tremendous servant to Irish football.
Watching The IT Crowd as I write this.... is it just me (it is!) but why is Chris O' Dowd so popular?
Anyways onto more pressing matters. The "Sammon Spain Opportunity".... so he tried to curl the shot with his right foot around Valdes from what I could see....
and missed....
Technically was he right to attempt it? What would Gabriel Batistuta have done? Delayed and cut it back to Keane?
It's a miss that really gnaws at ya!
He's a Rossie. Popularity is something that's just unavoidable for us.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

His second touch took him way too wide. If he'd taken it inside he'd have had a much simpler chance.Watching The IT Crowd as I write this.... is it just me (it is!) but why is Chris O' Dowd so popular?

Laugh, shake his head and wonder if the bald guy was one of them football-mad dictators who put themselves in the team.
Either that or he's trying to get them out of sight for relegation by Christmas.
All we need now is Martin Keown to take over at Crystal Palace and sign Paul Green.
McShane and Sammon in the same team.
Oh dear...
Could Bruce really have played for us? His mother was from the North so surely, at that time, he wouldve only been eligible to play for them no?
Folding my way into the big money!!!
Born in England to a NI born mother? Then young Bruce was entitled to be Irish citizen when he was born, or take it up any time in his life. The 1956 nationality act decreed that all northern natives were entitled to Irish citizenship. Bruce would have been entitled to play for the FAI as a naturalised citizen, according to the FIFA rules before 2003.
These days (post GFA), that Irish citzenship is conferred automatically to Nordies.
Hmmm. I always had presumed he was eligible on the basis of grandparent. Maybe I dreamt that up.
Just noticed that Alex Bruce got 32 games under Pops last season. Norn Iron's latest Premiership superstar.
Sammon has found the net. (no pun intended.)

No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Scored tonight in the League Cup against Brentford.
Don't think he's been starting in the league, so that's a nice reminder for Clough.
Another in the second half. 4-0 now.
Early signs may not be great for Sammon under new boss Steve McClaren.
Sammon must seize chance to start week in week out asserts the Derby press.
