Silvio Dante Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Great Finish. But what an absolute cheating arsehole of a player. Was it three or four dives to go with the handball? Then remember his stamp at Villa earlier this year. Football ability alone would love him here. Personality wise though, just no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty, horrible cynical bugger but just what we need. I'd have him here any day. Knows where the goal is too. He's one of those players you absolutely detest but would love if he was in our red and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too nice. You win nothing by being nice im afraid!! Nothing wrong with having unlikeable characters. I’d guess most opposing fans hate Matty Taylor as he’s a niggly git who winds people up. However, there’s a difference between that and throwing yourself to the ground four times in twenty minutes, deliberate handballs and blatant stamps. That is, plain and simple, cheating. (On a related subject, I’ve always thought a deliberate handball to score or a dive to win a pen should be a red card. If a defender can get a red for stopping a blatant goal scoring opportunity, then a striker should get a red for cheating to get a blatant scoring opportunity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3City Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Not sure if Maupay is like that every game. Maybe he's just got a thing about us, particularly as he seemed to get very agitated at the end of the Griffin Park encounter earlier in the season. Wasn't it Hunt winding him up at the final whistle? That said I wouldn't be unhappy to see him in our squad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too nice. You win nothing by being nice im afraid!! Completely. Championship top scorer with 15 goals and 6 assists (we don’t have anyone anywhere near the list) and a firey bloke who gets stuck in and seems to give a shit for his teammates and wants to win. What I’d give for an ‘unlikeable character’ like that in our team indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear, hear. Him and that Luke Ayling, not going to make Bristol prowed them two, what with their cheating - perish the thought! - and dingling their dangle out at the gee-gees and drinking filthy lager and that. Might make Bristol hard to beat, or even premier league, but I think we are better than these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Taylor was no weakling, Galliers loved a tackle and although Dave Martin was crap, he was one horrible git( same for Martin Kuhl) . Shaun Taylor hard as nails. Even Brooker, Orr, Brown and Partridge could put up a fight! The last 10/15 years is a different story.

Red-Robbo Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 His dive in the box wasn't very clever though was it? Threw himself backwards. If he'd flung himself forward, as if pushed, he might've conned the rather soft ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 One of the top 3 players in this league imo. Don’t care if he dives, that will win games and earn draws over the course of the season, it’s part of the game now. He was one of the players I wanted us to get at the beginning of last season but that boat has well and truly sailed now unless we get promoted. Another hidden gem from France, I sincerely hope we go back and have a look over the summer, plenty of great wide players and strikers in our price range we could snap up.
