Happy Face 29 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Does Rory Delap actually do anything else? Not a lot: http://www.zonalmark...s-stoke-wolves/ Someone should do a similar chart For Nile Ranger. Passes attempted versus Gangsta moves.

trophyshy 6434 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Steve Watson never used a towel for his Moscow State Circus style throw-ins. Proper. No Towel Required. Edited November 2, 2011 by trophyshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 336 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I seem to remember Tranmere had a long throw 'specialist' back in the day and as Prenton Park was so cramped he'd run down the steps of the main stand when the throw in was vaguely level with the gangways. Anyway absolutely delighted at our attitude towards the towels. If you're going to try and reduce the game to a catapult contest expect people who care about football to do anything within their power to fuck you over. He played against us (and did that) when we played them in the cup. Was it the 1/4 final when Robson was manager? Dave Challinor? (sp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sp) Can't remember his name but you might be onto something with Challinor. Aye, I think you might be right with the Robson quarter final Alex. I was trying to recall how far back it was going but I was thinking it had to be about 10 years at least. Used to see him do it quite frequently on the North West regional footy highlights show too, the bamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13847 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It was West Ham and Burnley. No-one else, according to my source. Embarrassing crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CabayeAye Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 And the best bit is, Raylor can throw it further than Delap, yet he is also a footballer and doesn't need 15 minutes with a towel beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 In fairness to many Stoke fans, on their forum they do point out that delap would not be playing for them if couldn't throw a ball from one end of the pitch to the other. I think a good few would prefer a change of tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noaliasmike 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm sure we definitely did it too. There was one section where there was a gap, and I remember being particularly outraged because Delap didn't take the throw where the ball went out and they ended up scoring. I could have dreamt that I suppose but it seems so clear to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Apparently he's fit but not 'Stoke/Pulis fit'. Funny because their players looked to be blowing out their arses for most of the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
