Great player but 101% actively racist. wasn't so much a reference to their spat on the pitch, more dyer's time at the club in general. thought the sun shone out his own arse despite spending the majority of his time out the team. seem to recall him being nicknamed both sicknote or 80 klicks because of giving it the big one about his wages in town. couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, particularly when it came to one on ones with a keeper. remember him holding the captains armband out like a piece of shit covered bog roll when being brought on as a sub at middlesbrough after being dropped by robson for refusing to play right wing. pretty sure he paid for the hotel room at the grosvenor at the time of the spit roasting debacle.

Wow, well reading your post made me realise how old I'm getting: "seem to recall him being nicknamed both sicknote or 80 klicks because of giving it the big one about his wages in town" oh... yeah I vaguely remember..... wow that feels like a distant memory "After being dropped by robson for refusing to play right wing" was that Dyer, or was it Jenas - I always thought that was Jenas.... no it was Dyer: "he paid for the hotel room at the grosvenor at the time of the spit roasting debacle." Oh aye yeah, that too.... This has taught me how much I have directed my past hatred for Bobby's sacking at the feet of Bowyer and Jenas (I hate that lad, still. goldfish bowl haircut even takes the fucking piss).

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 i was one of the few on here who liked dyer at the time. shite attitude, alwas injured and couldn't finish his dinner, but his movement was scintillating. that midfield of robert, dyer, speed and nobby feeding shearer and bellamy was a joy to watch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) What was the game where we played Dyer as a lone striker, well after his legs had gone, and we ended up winning? Was that the Southampton game? That's also reminded me of the constant links to Boa Morte when Souness was manager. His name was in the Chronicle more than Eddy Eats Edited February 22, 2022 by Ayatollah Hermione Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think 90% is probably being generous to the players since. He was a very good player for a lot of his time here. He was integral in a side challenging for the league, getting into the CL and so on. He had a fantastic understanding with Solano. He also ha a great engine and coupled with his pace it stopped a lot f sides being able to break quickly against us. A pretty unnoticed side of his game. Off the pitch he wasn’t any worse than a lot of his peers. Bellamy was comfortably a bigger cunt but you’d have a player that good back in a shot. Him and the ‘young guns’ got the blame for SBR getting the push but if there’s poor discipline at a club that’s on the manager too. I love Robson but deifying people doesn’t really do them or the people they worked with justice. Also Shearer had fallen out with Robson. Liverpool were interested the summer before Robson’s sacking. Robson rightly thought Shearer was no longer good enough to be the focal point of a top side. After Shearer got wind of Robson being happy to let him go and his being so close to Speed and Lee, it meant the manager was undermined by not having the more senior half of the dressing room to fall back on. And we all probably knew Robson had to move at some point in the near future. Obviously the timing was all wrong and the replacement was an unmitigated disaster. Sorry for going all Fish but it’s always more nuanced than one or two people being to blame 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 9223 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 @Alex I can see I'm not winning this one with you! dyer wasn't fit to lace the boots of any of his peers in robson's team, when he could be arse to even play, well, in my opinion. as far as comparing him with bellamy, I can recall the welsh man being involved in some incident whereby he was questioned for a minor assault but nowt came of it, think some pissed up wannabe WAG on the quayside had jumped uninvited in to his car and he'd pushed her out. dyer would've footed the bill for a gang bang in the nearest premier Inn. bellamy didn't really hit the peak of his twatishness till he left us, but before he did he was absolutely bang on in labelling souness a wanker for hauling him off at charlton athletic, he was easily the best player on the pitch that day, he had every right in being fucked off at being shunted out to celtic by a bloke who had already decided before he walked through the door that he was the bad apple and not dyer. the stupid scotch twat was wrong. I agree with everything you say with regard to robson/shearer and so by default I'd imagine you'd have to concede bellamy was pretty much on the mark with his assessment via text that the lion of gosforths legs had gone? anyway, loved bellamy as a player, in a different league to dyer, and while I'd be in no rush to invite him round for a meal, I'd do so in preference to 80 clicks every day of the week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 9 hours ago, Alex said: I don’t hate Dalgleish. I think his intentions were honest. He fucked about way too much with the final third when it was the other end of the pitch that needed a bit of tinkering (although it’s a myth the defence was poor). He was hampered by Shearer’s injury massively as all his plans involved building the team around him. He also had to buy a reserve team after KK scrapped it. I can’t say I’m fond of him as his tenure was a bit of a disaster to say the least. Some good points here. Massively hampered by the injury to Shearer, by which point the PLC had pissed Ferdinand off to the point he was never going to stay. I also agree about the reserves. For all the great Keegan did, this was IMO by far his biggest fuck up. Set the future of the club back years for the good of the here and now - lacked vision but then what we loved about KK was he was passionate, not necessarily a visionary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but his treatment, and total disrespect of SBR is unforgiveable for me. All the greats that bloke managed over the years and some jumped up little cunt from Ipswich thinks he was too good to play on the wing.

Set the future of the club back years for the good of the here and now - lacked vision but then what we loved about KK was he was passionate, not necessarily a visionary. He did it because teams were being made to play (iirc) 75% of reserve games at their actual ground. Him and a few of the other managers stood up to the league. Including Ferguson supposedly. I think it had been voted on so it had to happen. The others relented. KK, being KK, didn’t. Although this was probably a flaw of his because it did cost the club in the medium term. What people may forget though this is before the days of the wide use of the portable UV lights. So big stadiums all over Europe suffered from bad pitches, often having to be relaid during the season. KK didn’t want that being exacerbated by the reserves playing there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Yeah I get it and you're right about the portable UV lights (BTW - weren't we the first club in the UK to implement them?). It's an observation rather than an outright criticism - he went for the short-term solution and we fell short. The cost was the damage to the medium and, IMO, the long term development system within the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
