Scott Carson - retires age 40 (p5)

[blue b4 the moon]

Apparently Marcus Bettinelli.

Interesting, I'm assuming he'll not be deemed HG.

Haha Google tells me I'm posting shite and he's English.

 

[the blue panther]

39 - he was only 32 when he first signed for us on a 2 year loan. Just the 1 start, according to Wiki.

He's might just be the least ambitious footballer ever, but at least he never asked for a cake - so give him a statue.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I'm actually gutted about this.

I wanted to see at least one more time Scotty coming in when we're taking the piss.

 

[oakiecokie]

The lad appeared to be very well liked by players and staff and he will be sorely missed in the dressing room.
All the best for the future Scott and maybe Hugo is like a new broom sweeps clean and maybe we`re in for more shocks ?

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Statue?

Fair enough he was getting old and wasnt the quickest but I think calling him that is a bit harsh :-)

I wouldnt say unambitous. He was coming to the end of his career, lumber around the championship or league 1 as first choice putting your body through the mill or work with the elite, get more money, best facilities in the world and prob save your body years of pain. Als be ready for potentially a decent opportunity(it didnt come but you never know). He made a good decision all round for me.

I think he has done a decent valuable role for us that 99percent of people dont realise.

It must have been his decision as it seems a waste of time and energy on our part to try fill this role while we have a million other things that needed doing. Easiest option would be give him another year and do it next year.

 

[its a Barm]

Had a job we would all of loved training and playing every day with our superstars good look to him in his future.

 

[eyalluvitt]

What's John Burridge up to these days?

Budgie is now a roadie for the pet shop boys

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Definitively end of an era now.

 

[Bobby the blue]

If this isn’t the biggest indication yet that we’ve lost the charges against us then I don’t know what else is. Telling.

 

[Lavinda Past]

About time. Waste of space, waste of money. The biggest collection of unearned medals in World football.

Paid £1.5m a yearto be Pep’s court jester.

All the best for the future Scott.

 

[DTKOAG]

6 Years and only started 1 game..
What a gig.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Good bloke and obviously very popular with the team and club. Does feel like its probably the right move with us obviously needing a shake up so badly

All the best to him

 

[happy]

He was the footballing equivalent of the little donkeys/pony's that trainers put in a field with racehorses to keep them company.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Now I may well be talking nonsense here and it turns out he did do but I've always thought it was strange he didn't do his full coaching badges and become our official goalkeeper coach. Pretty sure he would have been almost doing the job anyway.

Maybe that's what he will do. Now he's got time on his hands

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Another Character gone all the best Scotty lad.

 

[Coatigan]

Is he going to the CWC for one last hurrah/piss-up with the lads?

His contract doesn't expire till after the group stage.

 

[Manc in London]

Confirmed by club.

I would guess he is joining Chelsea or Arsenal as they are both desperate to be us.

 

[Suffolk Blue]

Sad news indeed, I liked seeing him on the VTs - I wish him well. As a 5' 11", bespectacled former playground standard GK, now retired with time on my hands, I'm perfect to take his place
