He can still get a lot of distance on those things! Those shots that cleared the backboard by like 20 feet? Wow.
If that wind wasn't so bad I think he'd have nailed it in 2 or 3 throws.

Such a good defensive midfielder. You can't compare the two. Delap was a selfless worker for the team, but he was very quiet. Whelan was the organiser, and on those occasions we actually used our midfielders for playing football, the better player, although you'd have to watch him for the Republic to see more of how good he was, at least under Trap. There was nothing quiet about him, he was always shouting orders to everyone and his dog. |

With those throws alone, Delap Sr would've done a better job for us this season than some of our players. Delap Sr throw to Delap Jr head could've scored double figures.

He’s building a career, think he was injured for a while but playing regularly and getting a few goals and assists in a competitive enough league. And still young. I suppose we’re so amazing and way above him now aren’t we. Arrogance. I wouldn’t bet against him walking into our team now. |

What I don’t understand is why Rory didn’t have our current team making more (any) use of throw-ins when he was here.

Rory was so good because he'd been throwing javelin for years before becoming a pro player. You don't acquire that ability overnight, so if none of the players had such ability, there wouldn't have been much he as a coach could have done. |

If he can do his job whilst blocking out those Palestinians having their homes taken off them and kept prisoner in illegally occupied territories just up the road then good luck to him I suppose…….
