Sheesh, I only wanted to communicate the fact he'd been hired. I've heard him on a lot of phone ins and he seemed a bit of knob. Compared to some of the people we could have hired, Mooney seems a very peculiar choice. He wasn't a very good player and doesn't seem like a very nice bloke, so it seems that it's an unusual choice. I didn't expect to be made out to be some kind of obsessive idiot for making my opinion known. Infact, I didn't even refer to his Blues past, strange.

The point I am making is that there are countless strikers who were/are vastly better than Tommy Mooney in their careers. It also seems to me that he is an unpleasant character and he certainly doesn't speak with any real insight about the game. To me, appointing a Division 1 journeyman striker seems an odd choice, perhaps by delving into the semantics of my use of the word "incompetence", you've seen it as a slur on the club. I admit perhaps my wording was a little strong, but it still seems to me that when there are so many strikers who have performed at a high level, this particular choice is peculiar. It's not an anti-Blues thing and it's not an attempt to be part of the "McLeish Out, Lerner Out, Houllier Out, Ellis Out" brigade, it really is my suprise at the appointment of someone I'm surprised to see on the coaching staff.
You do know that your not allowed to have a different opinion than Dave Woodhall and the Barton Arms crew dont you?
My opinion.
