For anyone that hasn't seen it. Not quite inside our half as suggested but not a bad goal all things considered. Hope to see a few more moments of magic like that from the man this season!

I love the way he just turns and walks away, just like he's saying " do it every day in training"

[Donnybax]

The technique on that! Magical.

[Pancho Regan]

Sublime skill, quick thinking, incredible control of the football.

Not bad for an old 'un!

He is still our best player and it’s vital he stays fit all season. It showed at the end of the season how poor we were in the final third without.

We will never have a player of his quality again. His technique for that shot is unbelievable!

There's the conundrum. We need to learn to be good without Copps. Ideal scenario, 2-0 up, 20 mins to play, bring Copps on to do what he does best and go and run rings round them, slowing things down as necessary, controlling the game as much as possible in the oppositions half.

Too many times, he was subbed irrespective of the status of the game and it immediately gave the opposition a lift with the opposite effect on us of losing composure.

Aye, like at f**king Hartlepool.

Yep, and some people said that it was only the players who messed up winning the title.

(Now waiting for the inevitable.........)

What's gone has gone, but if we can reverse the balance, then without doing too much else, we'll be higher up the table.

It's yet to be seen how McCann manages Copps,  but I can't help think Fergie over did it at times being too rigid in pre-planning Copps substitutions. However, that said, let's hope we can get the rest of the squad gelling so Copps non presence on the pitch has less of a negative influence.

Spot on,I wish I had a penny for everytime I groaned/prayed for DF not to take Copps off last season.

Bloody rubbish.
