[Archived] Gallagher

[b12_simon]

Nob Ender at work said Gally played well and was by far the best player on the pitch but went off with cramp.

He's now PNE's joint top scorer with a magnificent haul of 1.

I was at the Preston game on Saturday with work, it was hard watching another team but many ex rovers on show plus gally.

Jemal Johnson - CRAP in one simple word.

Callum Davidson - did okay, this is certainly his level.

Franny Jeffers - CRAP in one simple word.

Paul Gallagher - best player on the pitch and was head and shoulders above with regards to touch, vision and positioning.

Burton Obrien - CRAP in one simple word.

Preston are poor and Sheff Weds are possibly the worst team i have ever seen.

I THOUGHT J J WAS AT MK DONS

I think you saw JERMAINE Johnson...As Waggy says Jemal Johnson is at MK Dons

[Consequence]

It's a shame for Gallagher, at most other clubs he would be well worth a shot in 15-20 games per season. I still think he provides something different to our other forwards but needs to be more physical. I hope he isn't sold off as he is still worth taking a punt on should we pick up an injury

[vintageadidas]

Yeh, my mistake the wrong JJ

When Gally meets Steadinho

[only2garners]

Things seem to be falling apart for Gallagher at Preston. He was dropped from the squad for the Plymouth game midweek and the LEP has an article today saying Simpson will not guarantee him (and Andy Carroll) a place in the first team just because they are on loan from the Premiership. He played in PNE's reserve team the other day.

When Gally meets Steadinho

Neither of them are Prem quality but I seem to rem both had many admirers on here calling for them to be played more often for BRFC!

But then again I also remember a fairly strong lobby on here in favour of playing bloody Grabbi!

S'funny what criteria people employ in formulating their opinions and selecting their favourites isn't it?

Yup that's right.

I ###### myself every time Curtis is mentioned.

[thenodrog]

Yup that's right.

Cheeky!

Yeah and he went onto great things when he left us didn't he?

[Fife Rover]

Yup that's right.

Then of course there was the champion of all open goal missers; Ken Beamish. He is the man who is responsible for supporters on just about every ground in England and Scotland now roaring out "Beamo! Beamo!" whenever any player misses a good chance. I stand on these grounds in Scotland and listen to this and think to myself: Yes lads, and you haven't got a clue where and how that chant originated. I feel very priveledged to have witnessed most of Beamo's games for the Rovers and was of course one of the 1000's that originated the chant.

I must say right now that I and virtually all of the Rovers fans at the time were chanting in the best of good humour. We were all very fond of big Ken and I am happy to see him still employed at BRFC. And of course he did actually score loads of goals as well as the misses. If he had put away all the chances he got, he would have been the all-time top scorer for Rovers.

Went watching PNE tonight and once again Gally wasn't even on the bench. Something must be going a bit wrong for him if Patrick Agyemang and Neil Mellor are on the bench ahead of him!

As an aside, I was sat there today feeling very glad that I support Rovers and didn't have to suffer that kind of footy every week! I know its not that long ago we was also at that level, but thankfully we are not anymore

[Silencio]

sounds like a falling out. paul simpson has form for that though. w#nker...

Before you jump to conclusions I seem to rem that Paul Simpson has some sort of a qualification in sports psychology. Anyway I'd wager that whatever he is doing with gallagher it is after full discussion and agreement with our management team.

[rover6]

Why assume the fault lies with Simpson when we don't know the facts? Preston are struggling and Gallagher had a real chance to shine amongst moderate team-mates. It's a shame he hasn't impressed and if a falling out has occurred, I'm pretty sure that Gally won't be blameless.

Ah yes the memories, I remember the chant catching on at a ground or two even when I was there and remember thinking WTF. As for the 1000's they were very few 1000's.

As for Gally he needs to turn it around and quickly.

[Silencio]

Didn't say it wasn't Gally's fault. I said Simpson has form for falling out with players and he's a w*nker. Both are true, ask Preston fans...

[CAPT KAYOS]

On the Gallagher issue ... don't know if you take this with a pinch of salt, but was listening to an interview with Simpson on Radio Lancs ahead of yetserdays game and he was saying that Gallagher still has someway to go with regard to his fitness as he is not quite up to the levels as some of the others, strange considering really so whether this is because of injury or not he didn't say but he did mention that as a result that was why Gallagher was behind in the pecking order.

[Hughesy]

Gally is a prima donna and thinks he has already made it. About time he put 110% in and proved his worth!

I still shout Beamo at games even now,in fact i let one rip at weekend when somebody blazed over the bar (can`t remember who).

I think we should bring it back every time somebody blazes over the bar.

Would also be funny to see the look of bemusement on some of the younger supporters faces.

Huh? I've never seen another ground do it, are you sure?

[LeftWinger]

To be fair I think he's already doing that, Hughesy.

Speaking to a few PNE fans and they think he's got talent - but doesn't seem interested. I agree he needs to start working harder.

[b12_simon]

I don't think he has a future at Rovers as a striker but it may be worth bringing Gally back as cover at right midfield. He's not a patch on Bentley of course but does look a lot more comfortable there than Derbyshire.

[Hughesy]

Never gave 110% for us in the last 18 months. Yes he didnt have many opportunities but neither did Matty. Its all about taking your chances when they come.

I hope we sell him on with a sell-on clause added on for security
