A young man, resplendent in Rangers shirt and scarf walked along the gangway that runs along near the front. Despite his obvious affinity, he was mercilessly taunted by his fellow Bears with the cry that Ginger hair was not acceptable, as this boy was GINGER. It is pleasing to see that we have moved on from those days of rampant Gingerism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that I mean absolutely no nonsense does the basics cb. He has been steadier than any other cb we have played this season. He has his limitations but fuck me I wish our other cbs would defend just like him. No really interested in the fad of a "ball playing centre back" that's how you get caught out. Agreed on that principle mate, we really aren't at the level to have CBs like that anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered at the time what he was doing during the celebration! Did they insinuate that he did or are we wanting them to insinuate he did so we can get upset with them?

He'll make mistakes I have no doubt but as I said he's a no nonsense defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been solid and dependable. He is a defender who defends and thats good enough for me. I dont particularly care about his distribution, if he was playing in midfield that would be different. The guys lining up to have a go at him need to get a grip. Music to my ears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I know he scored 2 goals but yet another sitter missed by Morelos. If he could actually finish properly he'd have about 30 goals by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,559 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 59 minutes ago, GeeSS said: Most right footed attacking/wide players nowadays play on the left so they can cut in even the great Davie Cooper who only had a left foot played a a lot of his career on the right I know that has happened with wide/wingers for a while, but Murphy seems to be poor with his poor foot and unless it is just trying too hard at the team he supports and he will come good soon, he is not providing the quality of balls we need from the left. As soon as he might moved more central (away from the left) he scored one and made another. Hopefully we will find out soon if playing on the left is going to work or not.

Amac9 2,060 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Bates with the ball at his feet is a nightmare but his job is to defend and he has never let us down. Unlike that Portuguese clown Alves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or the players don't listen. Perfect example is bale and cr7 at real. 9/10 they look to cut in on their stronger foot to shoot. Robben is probably the best example tho Yeah, I get that. But like u say, you need Ronaldo, Bale, Robben, Robert etc... For this to work effectively. You also need midfielfers who can score. We have none of these type of player.

Good point. If Bates was a foreign player people would be labelling him the new amo or something. Underrated due to coming from Raith rovers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a fraction of a bawhair to decide to hit it first time like 99.9% of professionals would do, seriously you expect him to realise its bobbled, stop the ball and tap it in in a millisecond? Agree to disagree on this one as we won't see the other's viewpoint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,016 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Cannot for the life of me understand how some don't like Bates. His job is to defend and he does it perfectly fine. Absolutely no nonsense about it. For me it's Bates+1 as our centre back pairing now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
