general interview...

 

Who would win a fight between a lion and a tiger?

[He answers in a jiffy, and with great confidence] A lion!

 

So confident! But why?

Because if they are the same age the lion is supposed to be bigger. Stronger.

 

Very well thought out. Paris Hilton or Scarlett Johansson?

Listen, I've never heard of this Scarlett, and I don't know Paris Hilton either - but I read about her in the newspaper. I will say my wife.

 

Fair enough. Cheese or chocolate?

That's a good question.

 

Yes, that's what we think

Yes. Because I like both of them. But I think in the end chocolate would win for me.

He's a bit barking isn't he....

Rocket Ronnie is ace. He took Jocky and Digger out for dinner a few months back and Barnesy mentioned it on LFC TV saying he hdan't had so much fun in years or seen Jocky laugh so much.

 

All the smartasses on TV go on about that miss at Villa(?) but we've all seen many worse and more crucial misses than that - they don't ever mention some of the great goals the lad scored.

The perfect hat-trick on his full debut, right foot, left foot, header!

[Falconhoof]

He was brilliant. I never understand why he gets so much stick over that miss.

[kop205]

I liked him, but it was an awful miss

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

the best miss ever was Forlan vs Juve in a preseason game. Beats the defenders, rounds the keeper & slices wide in front of an empty net

Nah - Roger Davies for Derby County in the '70's. gets the ball from Alan Durban in his own half, and sets off at pace. Rounds one defender sends the other one on a mystery tour - beats a third, nutmegs the last one on the edge of the box, rounds the keeper, 4 yards out with the goal empty - he falls over and the ball trickles out past the post. Outstanding.

Ronny was on tv here during the Israel-Russia game, he somehow looks YOUNGER now than he did when he played for us!

 

I tell ya, I was about 15 when he joined us, he was my new hero very quickly. Great little player to watch. Then again, I had high hopes for David Speedie at the time too.

I remember that FYDS, it was hilarious and they showed it relentlessly but at least the pitch was heavy if that's any excuse, that miss of Forlan's was on a pristine surface, it was much worse.

True, but not as funny as Davies' miss - you're right though - it was on that bog of a pitch that was the Baseball Ground.
