Talking about skinny.... i walked past Dylan Buckley today... I think he was walking with Gorringe ( tall bugger with long lochs??? ) & I was gobsmacked at how small he was.
I thought he'd putt on a bit in the upper body over the last few yrs but by God, he looked like a 14 y o boy ?
I'm not blind. I knew he wasnt a big kid but honestly didnt realise he was that small.
I've been a massive backer of this kid. I love his positive play. Attacking and using his run whenever possible. Trying to make something happen when it seems that everyone else around him has given up. Ive been hoping this kid would make it, especially as he's Jimmys boy too but after seeing him today, Ive gotta hand it to the kid... I dont know how he has lasted this long.
May he make it big time this yr. May he find whatever the hell it us that divides the great from the also rans. May he have a great long career at the mighty blues.
I'd be absolutely stoked for him...........
But unfortunately, I cannot see how a kid his size "could" make it?
I have commented on this before that the players look smaller in the flesh than they do on TV. You also need to remember that Jimmy was a skinny little bugger back in the 80s also. I had the privilege of attending the 1982 B&F where Jimmy won it in our premiership year. He could bloody well put the grog away let me tell you but he was definitely a skinny little bugger, but still tuff as nails.
