To be fair to the ref Bocanegra was red carded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picicata Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Loved watching him at RB but, strangely, the time I most remember him for was managing to get fit around the Christmas period in the GT2 season and coming in at centre back. We went on a pretty decent run of form which coincided with Mark being fit and, eventually, was the difference in us staying up that season.

lapal_fan Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Delaney was great at 2 things, slide tackles where his leg would go full on Inspector Gadget and stretch incredible, vast distances to nip the ball away but that's already been mentioned. The other thing he was great at, was once every game, just collecting the ball in space at RB and going for an amazing run, just jinking past players (most of the time) and getting a decent opportunity on the back of it. My brother and I used to say "Oh, Mark's going walkies again" and no sooner had he left a trail of bamboozled opponents in his wake, than someone like Carlton Cole smashed an easy chance into row Z before Mark calmly trotted back to RB. He was cool as **** for a gangly Welsh dude with a goofy appearance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was his last season under O'Leary, he even scored vs Everton and club wouldnt give him a new deal which he was begging for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I typed my post I thought 'or was that under O'Leary?' Which got me thinking of O'Leary. Which upset me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 11, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 11, 2020 He's hilarious on the touchline - he can get after a linesman with the best of them and he looks like he's having the time of his life during games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah - he wasn't up to much tbf. Agree with the second part, though - I think he's a better coach than he was a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
