Re: Dave Mooney - his story
He doesn't get opportunity to say much about the O's, which is a shame, because we emerge with credit.

Re: Dave Mooney - his story
He had plenty of opportunity to do so if he wished.
I thought he’d been playing this season?

He played 13 games for Royston Town last season, but was released in December.

Re: Dave Mooney - his story
Seems sad that his time with us ended badly.
His Twitter doesn't even congratulate us getting promoted ,whereas other players like Elokobi did. Maybe his gagging order (which he referenced in another interview) prevented him.
Hindsight is always great but had he stayed I am sure he would have done better than Alabi despite being a different style of player.
Re: Dave Mooney - his story
No he didn't get plenty of opportunity because the interviewer was asking him other questions. What he did manage to say about the O's though was positive.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 8:04 am He had plenty of opportunity to do so if he wished.

Re: Dave Mooney - his story
He had ample opportunity. I thought it was pretty clear that for whatever reason he’s not allowed to discuss how things ended.

Re: Dave Mooney - his story
He played twice for Harlow in end of the season games, did not score and hardly mentioned in the match reports. Harlow had a poor team last season, lost all their good players ( including Christian Scales ) and ended up getting relegated.

Re: Dave Mooney - his story
Scales now playing in Sweden and YES, he played really well for Harlow when on his loan spell there. Scales got very good ratings in match reports in the local paper. Why mock the lad, surely wish all these ex Os the best for their future in the game. If he had nothing about him, then Norwich and Crystal Palace would never have signed him in the first place. From when I saw him play, he looked really good, perhaps playing in Sweden will make him apply himself better and bring out the potential that is there.Buddy Manucci wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 10:47 pmChristian ScalesSid Bishop wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 2:52 pmHe played twice for Harlow in end of the season games, did not score and hardly mentioned in the match reports.

Re: Dave Mooney - his story
Oh, so his issue is that he doesn't apply himself very well. Reckon he would be more offended with that then saying he lacks talent.

I heard he has suffered disciplinary problems by going to ABBA before a game.Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 8:51 amScales now playing in Sweden and YES, he played really well for Harlow when on his loan spell there.

Re: Dave Mooney - his story
Quite obvious that if any player at any level of sport wants to improve and become become more consistent then they have to put in the extra work, train hard and work at improving their ability in order to progress in the sport of their choosing. The very best sportsmen and women get to the top by putting in the extra training to make that extra difference. For just two examples of that, David Beckham who spent many extra hours training to improve his abilities at crossing the ball, also even when established at Roma, Saleh built a football pitch in his garden and would practice his shooting every day, aiming at small holes in a covering hung over the goal. Enough said on this subject.Buddy Manucci wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 11:53 am Oh, so his issue is that he doesn't apply himself very well.
