He lost a bit of weight and played better.
However not good enough for us.

And that's not inflated by EPL mediocrity t/v money?Brentford have a weekly wage bill of around £170k and are one of the best footballing sides in a very competitive league. Livi are none of those things. Sorry, but there is no comparison.
Brentford would pump liviCos Brentford are not a run of the mill English lower tier club amirite?...
Either that or you buy into the fact that TV money makes you a superior club... (proper use of elipses)
If I saw Livi playing Brentford, I'd fully expect a draw or at least a very close game. Unless of course you think Brentford town is Barcaesque ^.-
Brentford that narrowly missed out in the playoff final? You'd expect to draw with Livingston?Cos Brentford are not a run of the mill English lower tier club amirite?...

Your having a mare here fellaYes I have seen them play, they aren't Man city, nor are they even Norwich town. Fk me You'd think they were RealM/AthleticoM level by some peoples reactions.
So what if they sold some players for xMillions in England, Harry McGuire went for over £80m...
People wanted Hodson playing before Tav, that’s even worse.
Nah, I'm not really. You either believe that the English market is overinflated or it's not. I believe the former. Brentford are nearly just as pish as the rest of the SPL outwith us & them. If Brentford were in the SPL they'd be Livi level or worse, in my opinion.Your having a mare here fella
Play Hodson rb and put Tav RM was often the shout. When we didn’t play with a RM.People wanted Hodson playing before Tav, that’s even worse.
He’s a poor footballer that’s why he doesn’t have a club. Also he’s not a good defensive full back either. He gets labelled a decent defensive full back because he’s hard in the tackle, that’s it and the fact his attacking side of the game is atrocious.
That's how I remember it, plus the old FF equation of "Tav+form blip X player becoming better from not actually playing = horrid idea"Play Hodson rb and put Tav RM was often the shout. When we didn’t play with a RM.
Finally someone gets my point.Nonsense, Seb Faure was a poor footballer and why he never found a club ever again. Flanagan will have a lot to offer L1 and L2 and if he was prepared to drop wages would be a good freebie for most of the SPL/or Hearts signing
He may well do a job for a Wycombe, a Barnsley, a Rotherham etc in that division, but Brentford v Livi is a ridiculous comparison. Brentford were very nearly a PL team this season and if you go and take a look at their model, I'd like to think you'll agree there is zero comparison with Livingston. Brentford have never had the TV riches of the Premier League, but they buy young, hungry players with potential, not injury prone journeymen. One example is Olli Watkins who they bought from Exeter aged 21 for £1.8m in 2017 and sold to Villa for £28m plus add-ons. He scored a first half hattrick against Liverpool and was generally outstanding in that game, so yes, it's an inflated market, but not to that extent. Brentford have a squad filled with genuine quality. Livingston have a squad of free transfers and loanees, most with very limited ability. They wouldn't survive in the Championship, let alone be pushing for promotion.And that's not inflated by EPL mediocrity t/v money?
Again, I say £80mil for Harry McGuire - would you trade him for our back quad of Goldson, Helander, Balogun, Katic? I wouldn't.
I beg to differ, there is a comparison..
And even at that, I'm not saying Livi are totally Brentford level, I'm saying could Flanagan do a job at either team? I believe he could and all I'm saying is I'm surprised he hasn't signed for someone at those levels.
SG deemed Flanno good enough cover for us for a period of time, you don't. Do you believe that Brentford are better than us due to how much they pay on weekly wage budget? How about Celtic?

Livi or Brentford. WTF.
Brentford that narrowly missed out in the playoff final? You'd expect to draw with Livingston?
Yeah that was my exact reaction when I read your post.
Is this brentford of about 5 years ago or brentford now?Nah, I'm not really. You either believe that the English market is overinflated or it's not. I believe the former. Brentford are nearly just as pish as the rest of the SPL outwith us & them. If Brentford were in the SPL they'd be Livi level or worse, in my opinion.
You don't. Your opinion, you're entiltled to it.
My point is nothing to do with Livi or Brentford, it's the fact that Flanno, not a totally terrible player still doesn't have a club. Just find it weird, that's all.
I know his name is mud down south, but he could have been easily picked up for free here by many SPL/Champ teams. That like a more defensive minded RB rather than an attacking RB.
Its Brentford Town the lad's on about, maybe they're in the Isthmian League or something.Flanagan could play for Brentford because Maguire was sold for £80m. The logic of the mental element of FF in a nutshell.
