Guest Rob Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 At the game yesterday i heard a man saying that when City get promoted to the first division we will sign Scott Murray. If he is for sale, i personally am wary about bringing him back. He has been a bit of a flop at Reading and may have too much expectation on his shoulders if he comes back. Quality in the 2nd div, but could he do it for us in the first? (p.s, sorry about the "murray subject" again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gater2 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 If we go up I'd certainly take him back if he wanted to come. I think he'd gain confidence again here and he'd work well with Wilkshire. I doubt it will happen, but here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be around 56 by then and surely too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94th Minute Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Are we allowed to say that word on this forum 'promotion' i thought it used to be censored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThOmO Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Should we manage promotion this season, it will be timely in that alot of fringe and under achieving players contracts are up for renewal, I feel that should we make it to div 1, with the inevitable increased crowds and tv revenue, plus the removal of several players off the wage bill we will undoubtly see more recognised talent at ashton gate. Though i would very much doubt this will include SM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpaul Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 BYE BYE S.M. A bit harsh in my opinion. I agree that players never seem to reproduce previous form upon a return to a former club (i.e Mark Gavin) but if Murray were to become available and at the right price ?? Never say never.

Admin Ian M Posted December 29, 2003 Admin Share Posted December 29, 2003 <br /> He left us for the good times; o.k. fine but if the grass aint greener on the other side of the fence; tough ;bye; Tinman = loyal B.C.F.C. Murray = himself the end Careful, I wouldn't be so categoric if I were you. Danny may decide that he is the man he wants to bring in in the Summer by which time you'll be proclaiming it as the "perfect signing from the perfect manager", and you wouldn't want to look hypocritical would you?

Murray = himself the end If we can continue our form and gain promotion, I would suggest that 'Mr Loyalty' will need to be shown the door. Murray has delivered more goals and assists in his stay at City than Mr Showboater. Tinnion was not missed yesterday,(poor opposition granted- as it is every week) but Dohertys pass to Brown was quality, as was his all round performance. Dont let your heart rule your head.

Admin Ian M Posted December 29, 2003 Admin Share Posted December 29, 2003 Last time we got promotion to Div 1 BCFC signed a load of players and we finished bottom. On reaching Div 1, I hope we'll stick with the players and manager that got us up. Sacking John Ward and pushing the noses out of the players that got us promotion was wrong and the club paid with immediate relegation. The problem was in the amount of players we bought. We should have followed the Watford model and just brought in 1 or 3 players. Pretty much what we did last Summer actually. I'd say a keeper to provide competition for Phillips and possibly a striker to replace Peacock (going on the basis that we sign a right winger soon or Roberts delivers on his 'promise') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you calling Brian Tinnion "Mr Showboater"???? What a joke, this bloke has put in years of hard graft for the club and is city through and through and if it werent for blokes like him the youth system wouldnt be what it is. He has played a HUGE part on and off the field in aiding the development of many youngsters at this club with Matty Hill, Simon Clist, Craig Woodman, Aaron Brown to name but a few. Sort it out!!

Guest Rob Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 PLUS, the fact that he is still the ONLY and i state ONLY player who can hit a cross field pass with pinpoint accuracy in our team. Granted Tommy is getting there but there aint no better at Tins' game in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Murray will be past it next season , he doesnt look like he's doing very well at reading now anyway, maybe it was our style of play that suited him more but i wouldnt like it to happen because he obviously isnt up to division 1.

myoudale Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 i dont wont murray back he wanted to leave so i have no burning desire to bring him back i hink we are doing nicely at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cider_Army Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Murray had one or two good seasons for us. Roberts is way above the standard Murray was when he joined lets hope he gets to and beyond the same level sooner rather than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 <br /> Mr Murray has been put on this God like pedestal by some city fans why? He was a good player I will go with that, but he was hardly a prolific goal scorer and did tend to either be in or out of a game. D.W. is not nowhere near perfect either ;and has made some really strange choices I dont think even he will bring mr Murray back though; still I am prepared to look even more stupid than I already am if it does happen. Hardly a prolific goalscorer?! Hello?! 26/27 goals from a right winger? Where were you last season?! :Hmm, yeah that's really funny Tarquin.: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted Tommy is getting there but there aint no better at Tins' game in this division. Suggest you arrange a visit to Specsavers!! i) Wilkshire is by far a better all round player than Tinnion ever was or is, even when he's not in possession. ii) Doherty has the ability to use both feet, is strong in the tackle and good in the air. iii) Tinnion has the annoying habit of overplaying. As stated previously, why does he need to collect the ball from defenders 30 yards inside his own half ? and then launch a 'hit and hope ball' and lose possesion. Granted he can pick a pass around the opponents penalty area but because he likes playing so deep, he is rarely in this position. Also because of his obvious left sideness (?) he is often oblivious to the would be right sided players when making attacking runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
