Wether Regan should or would have been captain is one argument, however it's very likely he would have been recalled to the starting line up this week regardless of the terminationsQuote:

Just like anyone who deserts their post in battle and dogs it does not deserve the respect and appreciation given to those that stood their ground.
Deal with the analogy and stop comparing watching football and participation in a war cause your not impressing me with your IQ
The rest of us are going batten down the hatches stand our posts whilst the going gets tough and see this battle through and earn our stripes.
You plastic fans enjoy yourselves
Was going to give this post 5 stars but now can only give 4 1/2 as the Members recent war related posts have raised the bar yet again.Quote:

Nah, I'm pretty sure the good Member hates everyone (including himself sometimes).Quote:

This quote suggests he is talking about potential fans....
He has also been injured during his absence so it ain't like his non selection since the 4-0 Roar hiding is the only reason he hasn't had a game. Henrique owning him was what got him dropped but the injury made sure he had limited chance to get back in the sideQuote:

Regan as captain smacks of a political move to some of the fans back- no nonsense local lad etc.
however, he is not up to this standard and reflects the Dudley psyche perfectly - any of our local players who have had the misfortune of playing Dudley over the years you will know what I mean.
regan is not up to this level and plays an ugly version of the beautiful game.
this is not the way forward, to use Stubby speak, and represents a throwing of kero on our burning carcass of a club.

Care to elaborate?.?.

As a continuation to this genuine question to Blackmac and militia and friends - TWG have written an article (http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/artic...isis-torn-jets) saying that the captains armband was offered to Kanta and Caravella, but they turned it down due to respect for the axed players, and the two axed captains.Quote:

Taylor is just a bonafide Newy legend who is doing the honourable thing and stepping up in the clubs hour of need.Quote:

Now WLG answer me a question. When will we see the Sheep Quiz Answers???

Sad thing is tho, that i beleive nev is probably the only one close to deserving the arm band.
:rof: end this madness Pierre!
I am led to believe Roundabout was one of the 3 who told Stubbins they would not play for him and were only playing for the fans.Quote:

Sorry when was Welsh & Gallagher ever getting selected infront of Regan as a CB in a back 4?? Gallagher hasn't played as a CB since rd 3/4 and Welsh played entirely in a back 3 or as a DM.Quote:

On the captaincy, wether he deserves it or not is another story, but like Joel Griffiths you could never question Regan's commitment. It's players like these I want to see play for the rest of the season, players that actually give a shit.
Yes i know he was one of those players. But hypothetically if he wasn't, would you be saying he has stood up for the lads and the fans or would you be blasting him?Quote:

Agree about playing players that actually give a shit and giving their all FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON. This seasons gone. Different story for next year, still need players that give a shit but they actually gotta have some quality too. I.e. not giving virgili another contract/playing just because he gives a shit!!
The last time when brisbane played us here, I dont think anyone gave a shit that game!! It was painful to watch
Gallagher was dropped as a CB in round 3/4 and has never played there since. Welsh I don't think has ever played as a CB in a back 4, maybe one game.Quote:

Paired with Mullen, it's probably the first time in years we have had 2 fit mobile CB's.
Madaschi and Kew deserved to get dropped regardless.
Interesting fact - Taylor Regan played in that Brisbane game.Quote:
