Yeah, maybe.

I've really come to despise Thorne though - I don't he's as "emblematic" a Worthington signing as Andy Hughes, but he's definitely representative of Worthington's approach to the 2005-6 season - sign workmanlike players with "experience" of the division (because the existing players, having just spent one whole season floundering in the Premiership, didn't have any), particularly big players with no discernable skill.

Thorne, however, didn't even have work-rate - he wasn't just unfit, he was slow, lazy and disinterested. Somewhere just below Mike Sheron and above Paul Dalglish in my list of our worst-ever strikers - and definitely below Keith Scott.

- It sounds like something I'd have said (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jul 5, 13:37:16
  - Yeah, but you're still saying it now. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jul 5, 13:39:35
    - Pants has more than a germ of a point though. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Jul 5, 13:43:09
      - By the way players like Jonatan Johannson were just chew up and spat out on loan (NCFC) - pants, Jul 5, 14:03:25
      - Yeah, maybe. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jul 5, 13:48:09
        
        Peter Thorne is not "disinterested" (NCFC) - Old Git, Jul 5, 13:55:16
        
        His style of play was "impartial". You certainly wouldn't think he was partial to Norwich (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jul 5, 13:57:36
    - oh right, ignore my post below then. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jul 5, 13:40:43
      - No - I'm sure it was someone else besides Pants. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jul 5, 13:41:58
        
        Although I've been temporarily side-tracked by this: (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jul 5, 13:42:34
- That was most definitely not me (NCFC) - Old Git, Jul 5, 13:34:02
  - I've got such a sneaking suspicion it was you ... (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jul 5, 13:35:02
    - Go on then (NCFC) - Old Git, Jul 5, 13:46:58
      - I'm starting to think it was. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jul 5, 13:50:22
        
        It was what? (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Jul 5, 13:54:12
        
        Pants. But there's too many posts about Dennis Wise, I can't be arsed looking any more. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jul 5, 14:00:16
        
        Super Dennis you mean (NCFC) - pants, Jul 5, 14:16:32
        
        I'll take that as a grudging, graceless apology and admission that you were WRONG (NCFC) - Old Git, Jul 5, 14:02:19
    - pretty sure it pants, as above. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jul 5, 13:40:10
