Comments on: Pro Vercelli: Well, We Signed Messi http://www.runofplay.com/2009/02/02/pro-vercelli-well-we-signed-messi/ Attacking Football Sat, 11 Feb 2012 05:36:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brian Phillips http://www.runofplay.com/2009/02/02/pro-vercelli-well-we-signed-messi/#comment-3969 Brian Phillips Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:40:44 +0000 http://www.runofplay.com/?p=6732#comment-3969 I think the shuffle-foot thing was part of the celebration. It was like a Speedy Gonzales homage. Or else he was trying to give himself a static charge so he could run over and shock Carlo Saba. I think the shuffle-foot thing was part of the celebration.

Unless it was related to the type of goal? Sadly, his terrifying footspeed means I shall never catch up to ask him. I am disappointed by Messi’s unimaginative Shearer celebration.

So if one had enough time on one's hands, I'm sure it could be done. I don’t know if you can still do this, but on the Championship Manager 3 games, it was possible to edit the commentary files.

Maybe Ray could appear in select games and have a positive effect on the motivation/morale of his favorites.

I'm not sure little Alain's quite ready for Ray's "all his name's missing is two letters: an 'a' and an 'h'", but it looks to me like the ball rocketed off his head like Athena springing forth from Zeus's skull.

I think that should do the trick. Unless of course he takes it literally and turns the stadium lights out.

He's just so erratic. 5 goals in his first 24 games, then 13 in his last 10. It's like he quits trying for long stretches of the season and then turns it on again when things get interesting. Our fans adore him, but my relationship with him is intensely love/hate. He’s the key to our hopes, all right. He’s just so erratic. 5 goals in his first 24 games, then 13 in his last 10.
