Currently live on Instagram talking about all Football but currently on Charlton
https://www.instagram.com/kevin_lisbie/live/Mentioned that there was one away game when Rommedahl was sitting in Ugg Boots because he was cold
Even they admitted he couldnt cross the ball

A decent one up at Newcastle as well, although not so important!
Apparently got woken up in the middle off the night with Hermann's face inches from his own
Hermann started repeating something in Icelandic with Matt responding each time that he couldnt understand what Hermann was saying
HH suddenly went: "Oh yeah I forgot you didnt speak Icelandic" and went back to bed
Safe to say Hermann was a character.
Not to mention he also threw Lisbie across the floor in a nightclub for no reason
Shows how good the unity there was in that Charlton team that they were able to just laugh about it
(cant imagine there would have been issues afterwards as we saw with Todd / Kiely that Curbs didnt mess around)
I still love that Curbs persuaded him to join Charlton, I remember being really made-up about it.
I know he probably didn't deliver all that was expected, but that was probs less to do with him then with us not being quite good enough to accommodate him.
Anyway, I'll slap anyone I hear dissing him.
When I say slap, I mean I will look very fierce.
Didnt he put in another really good performance @ Middlesbrough?
Ultimately the biggest disappointed was the fact he couldnt get Mark van Bommel to sign for us (if ever we were truly interested)
Unfortunately due to the uber conservative tactics that we had under Curbs, out and out wingers like Rommedhal would find themselves getting possession 50-60 yard from goal, and expected to work their magic from there - nigh on impossible.
Incidentally if you look at his Palace goal, that is exactly where he wanted the ball more often, receiving wide 30-40 yards out and having the chance to drive at goal.
His delivery was frustrating, and he lacked a little bit of mongrel, but our set up at the time did him no favours.
Yes, I was there. Why the question?
3-0 game very early in the season on television.
As I remember we had a capitulation against Spurs or Blackburn at The Valley and Curbishley decided from thereon in it was eleven men behind the ball all the bloody time, which really wasted their talent, (especially Rommedhal), and completely pissed off Murphy. I don't like the bloke but he was initially vocally positive about our getting into Europe the chemistry they had and the way they were playing in those early games.
Big reason Smertin wanted out too I think.
Typical Charlton... "what might have been"
I know we had Scott Carson the following season, he got Player of the Year etc. but wonder if we'd have done better with Deano
We certainly would have done back in the Championship as remember him being a proper thorn in our side when we played West Brom
Remember the Manager of the latter being outspoken at times about his playing time etc. with us
We were 2-0 up and bloody cruising... Heavens suddenly opened and think Spurs got a lucky goal as a result - Game completely changed from that moment
I then went to that Blackburn game in the Carling Cup and was an exact repeat - 2-0 up and then capitulated in the last 15mins to lose 3-2 again
