Call me nit-picking, but I'm going to wait until I know he's been selected before I congratulate him.

Him and Gwilt did enough to last another week in the side in my books. Then again Ross Lyon makes some strange choices from time to time.

Well done Raph.

I'm a fan. Quite a big fan actually.

Lot's of upside to this guy as a footballer. Quality human too.

Well done raph I have been a big skeptic but last week was a good game looks to be finding his feet and improving on his defficiencies. This game won't suit his game style but will be a good indicator on how he's coming along m

I recall reading at the time he followed X-man to join us that Raph was rated the better of the two. Has been a bit slow to prove that up till now but I have faith in him.
Go well Raph !
And a nice guy to talk to as well. :lol:

Was there to do the banner - in fact it is my wording that was used. It is a celebratory banner for Raphs 50th!

If he doesn't play it can be easily altered

Yes, he has had too many injuries for such a young man (like his older brother), so hopefully this milestone gives him just a little more confidence to go even further. I have long thought that he will be integral to a strong attacking backline - because he has just that bit of flair.

people forget that his first 3-4 preseasons were wrecked through back injuries. Add epilepsy and it's n suprised he was in and out of the team.

Well done raph, have a great one

Raph, I've always been a fan despite sometimes questioning your selection ahead of others. I'm glad to be able to congratulate you on 50 games. I hope you continue to grow in your game and prove to us all that you really are the quality Saint we all want you to be.

Well done, Raph. Congratulations.
