every side seem to have a player like sean that splits the fanbase as to him ability or lack of. i for one want him to to do well as he wears our shirt but being inconsistant can be anoying to say the least as well as going missing during games.

'Twere ever thus - during the interregnum I was about the only person in the Stretford End who didn't think John Aston was useless, until he came out as pretty much m-o-m in the European Cup Final in 1968.

He was a left winger too ......

We might have caught the same Ribble bus from Melbourne St to Manchester in those days, Chimer!
The comparison of Sean McConville with Johnny Aston is a good one, in three respects at least.
Not only was he a relative (son!) of the United coach, he also had rather a good player on the other wing, whose skill he could rarely match and with whom he was inevitably but unfairly compared.
You're right he played a blinder at Wembley in 1968, but, I suggest, otherwise rarely proved a match winner.

So is Chapman (Portsmouth recorded zero shots on target)

From the Portsmouth News:

LET'S 'AVE HIM

Sean McConville
Excellent delivery from dead balls, yet it was his all-round attacking play which made him a regular threat to Pompey.

and in their player ratings:

Sean McConville - 8 - At the heart of every bright moment.

and:

HE'S ALL YOURS

Billy Kee
Wasn't allowed a kick by the superb Tom Davies, struggling to get in the game as a result.

Let's hope it continues

- (not for Billy obviously) I know some will say everyone's bound to have a good game sometime

but you never know

I'd agree with all the above, Tom did effectively stop Billy from playing but I still can't believe he got away with the way he did it while Billy got absolutely no protection from the ref, no wonder Tom was smirking!

Talking about the boy wonder took me down a different path this morning, I remembered well the many comments that Redraine used to make on his behalf !.

Is today then ,being so near the end of the year when we all have lost good friends , the time to pause a moment and recall the important contributions which they made to our lives.....Join me in this if you have a moment !.

Sorry to detract from this tremendously important thread !.

KTF !.
