He never missed the penalty, the Braga Keeper saved it. And I was there folks :drink: The only reason we went out of Europa was because of some outrageous match fixing in the Maribor v Bruges game :angry: kro Edited by bluenosekev, Jul 1 2014, 05:06 PM.

I think you'll find it was because the leech missed a penalty...and an absolute pathetic miss at that. |

Now then Lowds, talking about star players, what about: Walter Wigmore - we paid £180 to reunite him with his striking partner Bob McRoberts. He was probably the forerunner of such Blues stalwarts as Trevor Smith and Kenny Burns when he was transformed into a centre half. For nine years he remained first choice in that position, making the last of his 355 appearances for Birmingham only a few days before his 39th birthday. He was often penalised for dangerous play due to his unusual reluctance to head the ball, preferring to use his feet however high the ball came to him. Nice. :) |

Farewell to Ziggy and Burkey and a big 'Thank You' from me anyway :applause: :applause: They were both excellent players for us, both were also arguably below par on a few occasions this past season as well but I think it is totally fair to say that this past season was one in which most of us Blue Noses wish to forget .....wish them both Good Luck in their futures **thumbup I was just wondering but weren't Burke and The Zig the last links to the previous McLeish/ Huhgton eras ? Is the current side (Academy and our own youngsters aside) completely a side built by Lee Clark now ? feed.back Edited by PartisanBCFC, Jul 1 2014, 07:21 PM.

Burke and Ziggy were the last links to McLeish, all his players have now left. But Spector is still at Blues and he was signed by Chris Hughton. We also still have 1 player who was given his debut at Blues by Steve Bruce, though he doesn't start very often - Colin Doyle. Edited by baloos, Jul 1 2014, 07:49 PM.

Thanks , baloos What a great team Big Eck had built .......best top flight season for 50 odd years and a magical Cup triumph at Wembley watched by tens of millions around the world Ah , well , onwards and upwards .....hopefully..... we can't fall much further than we already have although League One was too close a call for comfort Spector might stick around, don't rate him that much to be perfectly honest but he is versatile and I reckon Doyle may move on soon to try and secure more regular action ....No knocking his loyalty though, I wish there were more players like Doyle around in the game today Only just over a month now until the season starts once again .......promotion would be nice :silence: |

Spot on Des Any criticism of his contract should be directed towards Yeung/Pannu. I'd have taken that contract offer but only if they'd included luncheon vouchers :) |

Can anyone tell me if they have continuosly under-performed and at the same time sucked the cash out of a financially chronic company? ...a resounding no. That useless toerag just continued to suck the blood out of our dying football club. That's a leech in my book. He had offers to apply his trade at higher levels but the lazy toerag just wanted to sit back, do little and try to financially kill off the football club I have supported for near on 50 years. Leech. Edited by lowdham bluenose, Jul 2 2014, 10:08 AM.

Its all very well to accept a contract that is offered to you, especially when you are tied in come what may...but one would be expected to work for that amount of money and the bigger the contract the harder one should work. |

Lowds that's a rant not a rational counter argument, while steve mag although he may not have been your cup of tea nevertheless he is a Blues Legend, played in our league cip winning team beat the villa changed the game V west ham, scored first goal V Arsenal, frour goals at Leeds changed and scored V Blackpool home leg of play offs and great comeback header at Bolton....Legend! Forget his wages lay that at the feet of PP & CY, facts are Alex Chris & Lee realised he was too good not top play, and finally I 100% believe if he could have started six games after Wembley we wouldn't have finished in bottom six!

As soon as anyone goes on the Blues payroll they're a legend in your book Des. Legend :LMAO: Legend :banghead: My word folk don't half dumb down the meaning of that word. The bastardisation of the English language continues. Edited by lowdham bluenose, Jul 2 2014, 11:21 AM.

My son and I were talking about Ziggy and we agree that his agent has not done him any favours not accepting a lower wage, he's now gone form earning 60 grand a week to zero, I doubt he'll get anything like the wages we were paying and will have to move his family. I would have liked to see him stay, he had his moments, ie 4 goals aginst Leeds, scoring in the cup final, my only gripe with him was the wages he was on, but that was hardly his fault. As for Burke, great first season, rubbish last year. On the plus side, our club is now 1/4 of a million a month better off ;) |

As you, for some reason have brought my name up, to put you right, I said that people are entitled to their opinions and just because they differ from yours does not make them any less of a Blues supporter. There are many people on this site whose views PI disagree with, and I will continue to argue my position, but I would not stoop so low as to say they are not Blues supporters as you seem to suggest so often. I must admit, I get a bit tired of this 'I'm a better supporter than you, so anybody who disagrees with me can't be a Blues supporter. |

If it wasn't for Zigic how do you think things would look no carling cup still would of got relegated as we couldn't score, still have the same owners and maybe playing league 1 football . Thanks for the memories and wish you well still think he wasn't used correctly during his time and we didn't get the best out of him on a regular basis. Thanks Burke for your time here aswell think a change was needed good luck for the future. |

Some have very short and highly selective memories! I remember travelling to the Euros and seeing zig grab the ball, demand to take the penalty, and muff it up..... |

Agreed, Francis was a legend as was Dugarry. Zig is certainly not. There are of course several others who were legends but to say zig was demeans them. Thanks for the three or four !!!! Great big game goals Zigic. Now let's move on. Faster the better. |
