I asked him for his autograph at that Osborne Road restaurant and the cunt sign it something like "Ali Dia". That was enough for me to start the Robson hounding.

I’ll never forget reading the Sun’s account of what happened, they didn’t divulge the names but it went something something like… ”the player’s manager, a legend in the game, had to sit down after being informed of the incident” Think that was the first ever Friday night game on Sky at Highbury. Bramble as usual had been in decent form for a month or so but inevitably (so it seemed to me) as soon as the tv cameras appeared he fell to peices, skied a clearance and Henry buried it. I think it was an equaliser after Jenas had scored a cracker to take the lead? Imagine letting that bunch of fuckin twats loose in London on a Friday night after a game though? I'm sure dyer paid for the room for them on his credit card? I could be wrong, not that it'd make any difference, I would've still hated the little cunt anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked back to our hotel in centeal Brum afterwards and fair enough to say it was quite edgy, despite them twatting us in the field and it being a lovely day. West Mids police were also cunts. I wanted Robson to have a respectful planned exit because it was obvious he was getting too old and had lost respect from some of the dressing room. Souness though? Gemmill was happy as I recall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35568 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 I’ve rarely seen someone as much of a confidence player as Bramble. That’s not a good trait in a centre-half. At times he looked fucking brilliant for decent spells though. I also remember him slagging off the fans here in some black magazine long after he’d left. Seem to remember him inferring he got stick due to colour of his skin. The cheeky, revisionist cunt was very well treated. Especially seeing as there was always another clanger round the corner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22142 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 i remember being absolutely gutted when SBR got the axe and having loads of ding dongs with people on here about it. there was a much more even split, and plenty thought his best days were behind him and he needed to go. quite different to the howe situation where i think LTA is the only person to vote in the poll for howe to go. the board is older and wiser today than it was in 06 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc, it was in large part down to Leazes being his usual mental self whereby Souness was the worst manager in the history of, erm, history. And at the same time the board were absolutely defended to the hilt over just about everything. Including appointing him as manager. Off the back of it Gemmill earned a reputation as being a lover of the ‘Scottish Fuckpig’ as I think Leazes called Souness. A fair bit of it was Gemmill winding Leazes up after the odd decent result. It was difficult to have any sort of nuanced discussion about anything ti do with the club at all. Mainly due to Leazes. Who believe it or not could be really interesting and insightful on the rare occasions he calmed the fuck down. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt wondering if he could talk Elsie into one. “I just don’t understand how they got the fire going in a hotel room without setting the alarm off. Could quite fancy a bit of pork now with all that talk of a spit roast, Elsie love. Shall we go for a drive to marksies? Titus, put that bloody thing away you’re more likely to blind yourself than you are to blow her back out. Silly boy.” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then staring into the middle distance wondering how it's taken him in to his 70s to discover this, slowly coming to terms with the fact he'll never know spit roast love. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could definitely imagine him struggling with the core concept. Wondering if they take it in turns being the piggy in the middle and how that works when it’s the lass’s go at the back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was terrible in that game, aye tbf. Actually, thinking back, I think it was the last 10-ish league games of that first season he arrived. He came in the January, aye? And a lot of people were raving about him come the season end. But while he did look good, he hardly had to break sweat because Bramble was going for everything, winning almost everything and Boumsong was just picking up the bits. Boumsong wasn’t physically strong enough to be a centre back in the PL back then. I seem to remember some big duck egg, might’ve been Geoff Horsfield, giving him a torrid time at SJP in one game. Funnily enough he had a great game once at SJP marking Henry. But that suited him, as he had pace and was much more his cup of tea. Souness blatantly did a cash-strapped Rangers a favour signing him. £8m (a big fee then) for a player they’d gotten in a Bosman (the previous summer?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank fuck we infected his computer By the end (and we’ll before that) he was absolutely as you describe him. I’m not seeking to defend him. But when Robson was still manager, which was when I first started using message boards, he could be reasonable at times. I stress at times because there were certain topics where you just couldn’t have a discussion without him going ballistic. He definitely had a tile or two missing off his roof like. On that message board him and Wacky ran that was deader than dead, he definitely used to reply to himself using different accounts. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
