seve Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Incidentally what happened to the team that played against Leeds, and were robed against city, that was very recent, but seems a long time ago. Just think we would be one more point better off, and the red shit would be top, every cloud hey. badaids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a bit of nitpicking going on there Mike, my post never mentioned any "Golden Era", the post was about How good Mick Lyons was but never got the credit he should have done, the reason was because he was always among better players. I think that list of players from the 70s sort of proves what I said Mr pedant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nitpicking at all, I agreed with your point on Lyons but disagreed with him being "surrounded by other great players" because he really wasn't; there were certainly a few over the years but nowhere near enough to surround him, I just though that part of your post was hyperbolic.

Cornish Steve Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Bill said: Not bad for a centre half, 2 goals and an assist. Got number ten on his shirt because he played everywhere. I well remember this game, for two reasons. First, I traveled from Cornwall to Plymouth every Saturday morning for piano lessons, and I was on the platform of Plymouth station waiting for my train home when an express arrived full of Everton fans. The noise as they alighted and chanted was deafening! They all walked from there to Home Park (I'm guessing a two or three mile walk). Second, one of the players on the Argyle team was a Sullivan - one of three brothers from my hometown in Cornwall. I believe Colin played for Argyle, Keith played for Saltash United (in Cornwall), and I forget the name of the third brother.

Bill Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I just new you would want the last word Mike, you're renowned for it. And yeah Cornish I was amongst those fans. Will not forget Mick Lyons racing through the mud to score his second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is clarifying my position to explain rationally why I thought part of your post was not strictly accurate wanting the last word? That's my last word on it, and the fact that you've not argued the football facts, but simply chosen to chuck in your opinion on my character shows you have no rational argument against my point. Feel free to have the last word if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badaids Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Not sure what to think about that line up. A few players in that squad that have let us down, but I guess lamps had to change it up.
