Did you guys think the same of Scott Salisbury, Alan Stringer, Kym Klomp, David Grainger when they were going around for other clubs?

Any why have a go at my "sh1te" team? I'm not allowed to offer up an opinion? You folk are getting a bit precious aren't you?

In that post where you said you wouldn't take them. That's where you said it.

Me and a couple of other posters on SAFooty had Richie Snr as teacher at Craigmore South.

who knows mate, but they're knobs (on field). Good players from the limited amount I've seen of them but they spoil it by being knobs.

They certainly are not up there with "favourites" for sure.

Sturt would have taken then in a heartbeat and Gadj would now talk about them in glowing terms. They are simply magnificent players on the field and what they bring to the club beyond their playing skills is massive.


You are living in absolute fantasy land if you think Sturt wouldnt love to have 2 players like the Gowans at their club whether their knobs or not they get the job done, maybe thats why we have been taking the pi55 for the last ten years because other clubs are too worried about being nice people.

hope it makes you feel good that your football team is 5hite but they act properly on a football field, f**k that win games of football is all i care about.

So the gowns don't act properly on the football field? I'd call the opposite to acting properly, dirty

No, I would call the opposite to acting properly, acting improperly. As in stretching the rules to the limit & trying to get away with whatever they can to piss the opposition off & get under their skin, so they stuff up.......without getting reported. Playing dirty, such as Sandery, gets you reported & FOUND GUILTY.

Not having a go, but with some of the teams the Bulldogs had on paper in the 80s it is perhaps surprising they didnt go further in 1 or 2 seasons. When you consider names like Lee, Girdham, Mandemaker, Bubner, Greg Smith, Chaplin etc etc.

Perhaps it was a cultural thing as far as not having the confidence to win big games against the "established" clubs, in a similar manner to their current culture of domination.
