You have a complex about Carey I’d persuade you to seek therapy for.
I’d say leaving Argyle for Champions League qualification matches and a pay rise is hardly dropping to the Vauxhall Conference.
Not at all. He was a great player in spells.
What I do have a complex about is the daily need from posters to queue up and go all gooey about an ex player, specifically denegrating a current player at the same time.
Personally I think Danny Mayor should be made to personally visit every season ticket holder and apologise for not being Carey.
Remember, it was our current manager that felt the need to say Mayor was better than Carey. Out of nowhere.
The urge for repeated comparison, the pressure that comes with eclipsing
in my opinion one of our all time greats, came from a statement made by our manager.
Stop having a go at our fans for bringing up something the manager said all by himself 18 months ago.
When our fans start slagging off Niall Canavan or Gary Sawyer for not being as good as Graham Carey I’ll agree with you.
What did you expect Lowe to say.
'nah Mayor is crap compared to the guy who was part of the team that just got you relegated. Don't bother buying a season ticket'
I'll stop having a go at the 'fans' when they stop berating a current player who has done nothing to deserve it and going all wet eyed about an ex player on a daily flipping basis.
All time greats :lol:
No one who played in the bottom two divisions for Argyle and ended up back in the bottom division qualifies as an 'all time great'
I've only gone since 1990 but the following players would all get in my best Argyle midfield ahead of Carey:
Nalis - championship
McCall - made the third tier payoffs with Argyle
Buszaky - championship
Castle - made the third tier play offs, scored shed loads
Dalton - wonder goals, made play offs
Friio - helped us get promotion to the championship
Halmosi - superb in the championship
Norris - championship consistent performer
I'm pretty certain people who have gone for a lot longer would have seen players playing at a higher level and wouldn't be a as wowed by wonder goals against Morecambe
For the record Carey was one of the only highlights of an otherwise soul destroying period of watching Argyle. But the more gushing that goes on about him the more sick buckets I'm getting through
