Division 1 Scorers

Rooney to win the POTY for the 1st division. He was on top form last night, and it's always good to see him celebrate a goal, he doesn't forget that the fans supported him when he was finding it tough in the SPL.

Interestingly, the P&J article on last nights match has Rooney at 17 goals. I assume the 15 mentioned on the Beeb site is SFL goals only?

Aye that's right 15 goals in the league from just 16 starts, a fantastic return.

Makes you think that had Butcher played Rooney at the start of the season we'd be clear at the top.

I'd go further than that and say that had we played Rooney more last season we would still be in the S.P.L.

I constantly asked the question, on this forum, last season and at the start of this one, basically saying, why are we not playing our best striker ?

In the league last season Rooney got a measly 10 starts scoring 5 goals (still our top scorer) both Barrowman & Garry Wood started more games and they didn't get 5 between them.

You may say that the boy wasn't playing as well last season as he is this, I'd counter that by saying he never got a decent run, Brewster giving him 7 starts and Butcher just 3 !

Och well, I don't see him sitting on the bench in the forseeable future.

Is there not a buy back clause in his contract if Stoke want him back? I seem to remember hearing about when he signed and there's one in Football Manager.

Aye, and Rory McAllister is rated 64 or something on Fifa 09. One of ICTs best players!
