I mean seriously, talk about a scapegoat. In a team game the weakest thing to do is blame one player imhfo!!
We looked gone at half time even though we were in front on the scoreboard in '97. Their midfield was dominant and it wasn't only because we didn't have Vidovic or Spider that day.
We were getting beaten in the clearances and contested possession as far as I could recall. We were relying on 19 yr olds to win it for us and relying on goals of the year to get the scoreboard ticking over. If you're gunna say one player cost us a flag in '97, then I don't think he was playing for the Saints that day...he was on the other side and he was Gary Jr and Cyril rolled into one..and these days he weighs more than both of 'em combined

seriously can't you see that my post was a bit tongue in cheek ffs....
.....i don't blame him entirely...another contributing factor was our coach.....
anyway...the saints pissed shanahan off after that game.......i think they had a reason of sorts...
