They told us he was good, but he was shit really! 20:33 - Mar 13 with 4326 views | R17ALE | On the other side of the coin, there is so many to choose from. The other team would have been quite good. This one is scarily bad and I'll have missed some out! 1. Kevin Rose (Sutton) 2. Andy Thackeray (Sutton) 3. Pim Balkestein (Err) 4. Andy Farrell (Barrow) 5. Neal Trottman (Err) 6. Simon Coleman (Parkin) 7. Mark Bailey (Barrow) 8. Andrew Tutte (His Dad) 9. George Donnelly (Coleman) 10. Graham Shaw (Docherty) 11. Trevor Snowden (Sutton) Choose from any of the following for the bench. Paul Williams, Ashley Grimes, Stephen Jordan, Mark Payne, Robbie Wakenshaw, Mark Leonard. Can anyone use the same criteria to pick a team to out-shit this one?! | |

I always thought he was a good player - his dad was a numpty though! Too lazy to name a full team, but honourable mentions go to; Lee Hodges, Jon Shaw, Kieron Durkan, Brett Ormerod, Simon Hackney, Chris Beech (in a playing capacity) | | | |

Simpkins though was something like seventh choice left back signing due to a minuscule budget and I think no one said he was any good. We got what we expected | | | |

That crap Scottish keeper we signed from Accrington. They made him sound like Gorden West but he was about as agile as a tin of John West. Mark Carter was a bag of shite also. Soz macro, didn't see your post regarding Not King Arthur. [Post edited 13 Mar 2016 20:50]

I've got to say here, in his defence, that I saw Kenny Arthur many times for Partick Thistle before he went anywhere near Accrington and he was a very solid goalkeeper. For whatever reason, it didn't happen for him here. A bit like Robbie Thomson. | |

I don't think Grimes or Probets could boast Premiership experience and Kevin Kyle went on to have a half-decent career after his loan spell with us. | |

Yes. Graham Barrow once said in a Fans Forum that the first three players the opposition manager always wanted to talk to him about post-match were Farrell, Leonard and Mark Bailey, as they were our stand out players. As you can imagine, the room burst out laughing with a chorus of "yes because they're shit!" He responded by saying, "I can only tell you the truth. What else have you come here for?" Cue Mr Angry's finest moment. "We've come here to get you sacked!" And to an earlier poster, Simpkins cannot be included, because no-one told us he was good. Jon Boardman is another name in the frame however! | |

I can only call it as I saw it. They came with premiership clubs on their CVs, I didn't mention experience. How Kyle became half decent is a complete mystery - he headed over when stood on the goal line in his first appearance at Spotland - my granny would have scored. Probets was "recommended" by Steve Bould - clearly offering the young man a second chance - he should have recommended Theatre school or a dressmaking course instead. | | | |

Presumably Robbie Savage was paying him to be the worst player to emerge from United's FA Youth Cup winning side of 1992. Lee Hodges was equally shit but more was expected as he had a very decent league pedigree. Ashley Probets made you wonder how he got anywhere near Arsenal's first team. Although I recall him scoring at Spotland on a Tuesday night (?) | | | |
