Robinson - Wall of honour.

1. "Congratulations to Danny dichio for getting on the "wall of fame". Fully deserved... Still waiting for my call though!!!"

I know a some have mentioned that he should be too... I personally don;t think he should...
There are a lot of fans that that are devided on what he brought to tfc and although it was he was one of the better tfc players. The fact of the matter is that the rest of the players were pretty shit. And for what he was getting payed i think Carl should give the fans some refund. BUt hey that is my side of the story.
the reason to this post was. the fact that he actually... kinda asks for it... Which i personally find a little annoying.. on top of the fact that i don;t think he really deserves to be there. What's next? Lombardo and Welsh?

[sidvan]

Love Robbo and wish he had never left. Wall of honour - No.

[pekduck]

wall of honour - bloody hell, no!

it's what people call 'a joke'. He's following that old Welsh tradition of 'having a laugh'.



see... here's another joke:

just not as funny

[yellowfellow]

Cunningham? Or does he belong to the Wall of Horror

[Mikey]

It's double funny cos' the "wall of honour" itself is also a joke.

This 'Wall of Honour' is going to turn into a shit show!!

then smash it down oh angry one.

[AL-MO]

Naw, I'll just put a banner on top of it.

[tfcleeds]

I still think Dichio should be the only one on it. While both Brennan and Robbo were loyal servants to TFC during their time here, neither of them is quite wall-of-honour worthy.

[yellowfellow]

The Buffalo Bills put every player who played for them on a wall. We might as well do that.

[Shway]

the next player to go up is Dero

Woah brennan loved the club, he was a good captain

Exactly! Dichio should be the only one recognized for his achievement. Because he is the only one who brought the fans some happiness during those years of misery.

DID SOMEONE SAY...
FUAD IBRAHIM?

[tfcleeds]

Not sure there would be quite enough room at BMO if we had a Wall of Horror, lol.

[ilikemusic]

Robbo is obviously joking, but it is still frightening to hear.

There are people here who would support putting Robbo up there. And that scares the shit out of me for what kind of standard has been set.

Robbo is the most overrated player in franchise history.

[bimmer]

Meh, in terms of on-field contributions, I feel Robbo brought just as much, if not more than Jimmy B during his tenure here. JB just has that whole first player, first captain, first Canadian thing going for him.

ha! YEs definetly and Ricketts' twitteRAGE was posted by someone who hacked into his account.
I was trying to make a joke, and I am pretty sure neither did carl...

I've read that a few times.... still not exactly sure what you mean.


Clearly Robinson made his comments as a joke, as you'd have to be crazy to think you'd be on a 'wall of honour' for a team other than the one you are playing for.

[Darlofletch]

Brennan, decent player, first player, first captain so fair enough
Dichio, decent player, first cult hero so fair enough.
Robbo, Decent player, but doesn't have that little extra to make him worth it. and to me it seemed like he was joking about his own chances, as well as poking fun at the whole idea.

De Ro, best player we've had so far, next captain, record goalscorer, and will hopefully have led us to some success by the time he leaves, but even if not, I'd say he's earned going up next whenever he retires.

[colman1860]

We've never made the playoffs - why should we be honouring any players? I love Dichio like anyone on this board, but I think in order for that wall to be worth anything, it should still be empty.

He also holds the record for most minutes played, which with our revolving door roster policy will unfortunately stand for the next ten years.

+1
can you imagine 15 years from now how Robbo will look on that wall of honour besides really good players? Who DESERVE to be there!

is robbo on the wall? no, he was making a joke.

man... selective reading comprehension around here.

[Mango Kid]

I'd be in favor, if he is coming in to cover up the previous two. Raise the bar, TFC!

The "decent player" says it all. That should be for all-time greats, of which we've had none so far.

Picture this scene in 20 years:

Son: "Daddy, who are those guys and why are they up there?"
Dad: "They, umm, were among the first players on the team."
Son: "Not all time goal-scorers, champions...?"
Dad: "Nope. But they were popular!"

If I were DeRo, I was watching those ceremonies thinking "wow, I've already got this in the bag!" And, he might not be alone.

[sully]

Well if winning the nutrilite is all it takes then why not put all of them up there! If sentimentality is reason enough...put them all up there!

I disagree. I'm fine with "honouring" players that resonated with the fans and the city - Dichio was definitely one of those people. If they retired his number or something, I wouldn't be okay with it. But having a little ceremony, and putting his name and number up on a wall?

I think we need to lighten up a little bit about this stuff.

That said, the next player I see as deserving of it would be DeRo, if his tenure here stays on it's current trajectory.

So how 'bout putting good 'ol Garcia on that wall too?
After all Dero gave him the captain's armband in a memorable game in LA (this move was approved by a ton of people on these boards by the way), plus in that game he didn't fucked up anything!
