Between heaven and hell Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Week in week out the old boy does the business for me. Long legs, last ditch tackles and never gets beat in the air. A Swindon ***** who I used to drink with said we paid to much money for him £300 your joking right. Today at 2-2 up he pops and we're jumping around like idiots again Flinter your the best of the bunch mate. £300k and your in league two you mugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Has his limitations but gives it his all and has many qualities Cant help but love him And you will go a long way to see a centre half attack a corner and plant one in the top corner as well as he did today Wouldnt seem the same side without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkeeebles Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I have to admit he's one of my favourites as well. I personally feel there are a lot of teams in the championship who'd love to have him in their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatn Over Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yep. Makes the odd howler and has his limitations but points, shouts, drives forward, pulls the net in frustration when the ball hits the bar or just goes over, holds his head or thumps the ground when a chance is missed; got to love the guy. Pleased for him today. Worth every penny of the modest amount paid. Had to smile at the end mind, LJ trying to reach up and him trying to reach down for a mutual celebratory hug. Made I chuckle.

I personally feel there are a lot of teams in the championship who'd love to have him in their side. and yet some seem to think he's not up to it (forgotten your name btw the one who said Bailey Wright is 10 times the player) Flint is a BCFC through and through he gives it all and scores goals , some cheeky that Sky sports even mention. I agree, if we decided he's not good enough I bet he'd go to another rival in the Chsmp. same as Pack btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyInWeston Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Flint. Got to love the guy. You know he's the only city player to have made an appearance in every league game so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Impossible not to love him. Still suspect his cult status and goals perhaps mean he gets away with a little more than other players do, but nonetheless still rightly one of the first names on the team sheet. His bullet header yesterday will surely go down as one of the greatest moments in a season without many contenders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I love him as well. He's my kids' favourite player too. The sort of player we'll miss when he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Proper cult hero. I'm proud to say he played for my club. I reckon he'll be loved like Basso if he sees his career out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I was sure he would score yesterday after he got free at the very first corner we had. I don't think I have seen him get such clean runs at the ball at this level, it was bound to pay off. His reaction when Tammy put that chance over at the far post, when he was coming in behind him was frightening! my mate said I think he will go mad if he scores and he certainly did!

I see him as 'hungry' though Peg and he would surely be off in an instant if a Prem Club took a punt or even a Big Club threatening promotion from Championship - Villa are an obvious example and within a couple of seasons will get themselves out IMHO , or could we have hung onto him if Newcastle had come in for him at the start of this season ? Not so sure If we were progressing on the pitch and had a Preston or Huddersfield type season we'd be in a stronger position to hang onto him and our better players Another struggle may mean one or two players may think it could be a time to move ,if the right opportunity arises , just how football is Flint may only get one chance at a 'big' move - he's not a 20yr old just breaking through , and has backed himself through his rise upwards - Think the challenge would appeal to him more than the ££££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDarwall Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I've thought for a while we will lose him this summer. He came into the Pro game late & is very ambitious. Can see him going to a "bigger" Championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Great character but I really dont rate him as highly as some. A jobbing Championship CB with a great goal record but nothing to justify continual ever present imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Newky had come calling last summer, he'd be gone faster than Ian Holloway down the Atyeo tunnel. Maybe Boro if they come down. Would have suggested Sunny too but they are in debt to the hilt. Norwich and Huddersfield possibilities too. Can't imagine he'd go for Villa though just because the club is a shambles. Unless they sort it this summer window, I'd expect them to be struggling mid table again next year. Oh and Grealish is gonna be gone this window. Possibly Kodj too. The big Prem boys will come knocking I don't doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
