Hadn't appreciated his NL background before. He must have been ridiculously skillful playing below Conference South.

Interesting. Who do you think would win in a fight? Tracey, with a kung foo kick to the swede Hm. I can see this. Nice. I reckon Brophy might get a bite in, though, & scratch his neck at the same time.

It's taken him a while but I'd like to hope Brophy is finally starting to win over a few doubters.
He's always been good for us, but this last few weeks he's been *really* good.

Quite interesting these player chats. Greg Taylor - teachers pet Shame they started so late in the season - would have been good to have had them start earlier in the season and had one a week, so that all players (and coaches!) were covered.

They need to turn the music down a bit though. Between that and the general background noise it gets a bit much at times.

James Brophy has a beautiful burst of acceleration with the ball. Personally, I think he's had a cracking first season and been a fantastic outlet.
Very good player.

Every time I see him I think he's excellent. You just can't underestimate the pressure he takes off us defensively with his ball running, not to mention opening up attacking opportunities.
Of course the odd pass and cross is going to go astray, he's a third division footballer who was brought up in the lower reaches of NL. I can accept that for all the good he brings the team.
Sick of the morons at every game I attend who have a constant pop at him for 90 minutes, no matter how good he is.

Indeed Vess.
It's the quite spiteful cluelessness of the Brophy haters that really aggravates.
Had one behind me on Saturday. Didn't want to get involved in any verbals* so limited myself to a few passive aggressive peers around my shoulder when Brophy did something good.
*Witnessed the block c shenanigans a little while back

Brophy seems to get more love from opposition fans than our own.
Cracking player. Really enjoy watching him play.
