    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    I totally love ya Benny-boy, a fabulous servant of the club in our modern premiership "era", unfortunately the game got away from you.

      he was a good servent etc and i admire what he did and he was a good honest player for a while.

      But he didnt step aside when he should have, something leo barry and crouch will both be guilty of if they go on.

      For a team that is the blood brothers who put the team before all and so on, why do players hang on past their use by date.
      Theres not much left to say

        I gave him an 8. Not for senior performance, but im told he did a wonderful job with the young players in the ressies and has really helped on the development of bird and jack etc this year
        The edge is not the limit, It's just the starting point...

            Based on his performances in the Seniors.... 2...

            Sorry Ben. But thanks for an otherwise great career.

              Special rating for Ben
              10 for commitment, effort, doing all the right stuff over a long career
              8 for ressies performance
              2 for seniors performance
              = 6.66 (repeater)
              Rounded that up to 7

                This season : Rating : 0

                If we are rating on what he has done overall and his year in the magoos : 6

                Wish Davo had Bens work ethic, got the most out himself and was a good ordinary footballer at best who was a vital player during our premiership year.
                Great set shot at goal and had the balls to keep Pluggers number.

                  Like many of his opponents the game left him rather than he leaving it. Courageous, strong and told Plugger to get stuffed. Master of the St Vincents Accident and Emergency handpass and kick. But a great career and a true spear carrier.

                    a great career for us but should have called it quits earlier. But by the sounds of it this year hasnt been a total waste as it sounds like he has had an excellent influence on the club's younger players!

                      If the kids develop even half the skills Benny had, I'll be happy

                        2 for Seniors.

                        Agree most comments - stuff Plugger, honest stopper, tried and ran, good shot for goal, frustratingly indirect towards goal.

                        As to this year, hard to say he stayed too long as no-one really expected all of Bird, Moore, Jack, Bevan, Veszpremi to get the games they did; or that Bolton J, and Kirk would have such good years.

                          Only played 2 games this year averaging 11.5 disposals with no real influence in either game.

                              Thanks for all the years of loyal service. Thanks for your part in 2005.

                              Something that can never be taken off you. Wouldn't Matty Nicks love to have had the same chance in '05!

                              Had a role that was expendable.

                              Expended..
