Herbie Kane

[dickos1]

You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about this CIM and have clearly been waiting for an opportunity to revive this thread.
Fair enough, it’s all about opinions.

I just appreciate what Herbie is bringing to our midfield, which is a much more valuable contribution than if he was stuck up front.

And he’s scoring goals; I don’t see a need to change anything.

Exactly

Is Herbie Copps’s love Child from a previous romance?
They seem to play as if they’ve known each other for years.

[RoversAlias]

Here's a thought...Herbie Kane was 5 years old when Coppinger signed for Rovers. Now look at them linking up together in an exciting DRFC team.

Is that wishful thinking, or does someone know something?

I've heard a rumour , early next week  (in good faith),but can't elaborate .

Let's wait and see , it could be rubbish .

There was an exchange between them early in the game that was telepathic! Magical to watch!

[ravenrover]

If I have missed it already forgive me but did anyone else see the cheeky free kick he took off Marquis back just in front of the West stand? You can't teach that, pure brilliance

We've known for years Copps' special talent and it is no surprise to me, as soon as we get another special talent in the team they work together to such good effect.  Just a shame we've had to wait so long to see it again.

Laughed my b*llocks off at that. Can't wait to follow his career after Rovers.

[roversdude]

They even look alike lol

[idler]

It was very impressive how he saw the opportunity to pounce on the defender for his goal. He obviously doesn't switch off much if at all during a game.
Old beyond his years and a joy to watch.

I’ve heard this said quite a few times - am I the only one who doesn’t think they look anything like each other? Both short (Copps obviously more so) and similarish hair colour but that’s all I can see!

I think it was Saunders playing for Galataseray, took a throw in to hit an opposition players back then took the ball , shot and scored a terrific goal. Great footballer but not a character I personally liked.

[since-1969]

Wasn’t it when he played for Sheff U

[WheatleyRover]

No he was playing for Sheff Utd

[ravenrover]

Think that's what he said 

[Alickismyhero]

I obviously thought wrong!

Not only how he saw it, but how he controlled his touch as hegot to the ball a split second before the defender. Gorgeous touch. Just enough to lift it over the challenge but not so hard as to run it through to the keeper.

I wouldn't say it's anything to do with their facial features, but from the distance of being in the crowd I have got them mixed up a few times. Similar hair colour, similar height and build and both midfielders. Add in that they're wearing the same kit and it's not too bizarre that folks have been saying they look similar. 

[drfchound]

That is what I think too RA.
When the play is at the opposite end of the pitch it is often difficult to tell whether it is Copps or Herbie on the ball.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Tricks and flicks have been Copps domain so when Herbie joins the party you can understand the confusion.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Definitely a bit of the cheeky impudence of Gazza in him. Other players respond and are inspired to do better things. No doubt he's given Copps a new lease of life.

I am sure that years ago such a "move" would have been judged as "ungentlemanlly conduct" - although Dean Saunders got away with the Throw in onto the Opposing Keepers back

I dont care - because I love Herbie with a passion and that was another example of his quick thinking / impudence / brilliance. One thing did spring to mind "if it WAS against the Rules would Muppet Woolmer have known (or noticed) ?

On the pitch they look very similar. Even down to the way they move.

[RobTheRover]

Kane and Copps seem to have brought the best out of each other.  Copps looks like hes rolled back the clock 3 or 4 years and seems to be having so much fun, and Herbie clearly loves playing our brand of passing, technical football.  Everyone just looks like this little winning run (and the tightening up of the defence) has given everyone a massive confidence boost at just the right time.
