Football Ralls leaves

[Popeye]

Classy message

Seems an intelligent guy which is rare in football these days when you look at thickos like Ollie Palmer and Grealish.

Cole Palmer

Sad to see him go after all this time, but probably the best for all concerned. Shame the fans never got to see him off. Hope he gets a decent contract somewhere to finish his career. Good luck Rallsy.

It's clearly what Bale wanted

Yep, clubs being sold.

Cole Palmer

Yep thats him, was gunna say Ollie Tanner

 

[Cyncoedslumdog]

Sad when a long standing clubman like him leaves but it's absolutely the right decision
Twice before he's spent much of the summer negotiating a new contract which unfortunately resulted in a poor return. There have been spells out with injury and the zip and influence disappeared from his game which meant that a new contract would have been poor value.
Good luck to him but if BB-M is building a new team and style of play there can be no room for sentiment.

Sadly I agree with the move.
Classy bloke tho, my son said he was the one player who really took the time to talk to all the mascots and put them at ease.
Best if luck for the future

Clearly making way for Messi

Really sad seeing Ralls going ! 15 years at a club is rare and the word legend over used but not in this case will be missed for what he did away from the pitch as well as on it LEGEND

I hope the club have something planned here for Rallsy, a testimonial is more than deserved. Without being morbid, the tragedy revolving around Whitts shows that time isn’t always gonna be there. Now his departure is fresh let’s give him the send off a club legend deserves. 15 years at one club is such a rarity in the game nowadays I think only Dean Lewington for Wimbledon FC / MK Dons did longer. With money coming before loyalty in the vast majority of cases he should be celebrated as a hero to the club. Gutted all in all as I don’t think his place in the side would be in any doubt if injuries weren’t a factor. Stood head and shoulders above a lot of players in his tenure when fit.

All the best Rallsy!

The little bit in there about BBM to me reads that BBM said he wouldn't be a first team starter or something like that.

Otherwise, I think (and hope) he'd have probably stayed.

Brian and Barry Murphy,you've only been in the job a few days and your getting it wrong, who's gonna be the heart of your team, not my boy that's for sure

Thanks Joe, cheerio. 6/10 player at his best. Not what we need to take us forward. It sounds, quite rightly, that BBM doesn’t want him. We owe him nothing, regardless of the time he’s been here.

The only time I’ll ever agree with the flange.

Have some respect man,6 out of 10 over 15 years is worthy of our admiration.Who else gets close to that over the last few seasons...not the football genius tgat is Colwill that's for sure

Not a train delay thread then

Just seen someone on Twitter unironically say we should fill the Ralls shaped gap with Marlon Pack
