InCyder Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Well the headline clearly worked as plenty seem to be talking about it. It just sounds like a rather sarcastic remark without much meaning behind it and the paper ran that part as the headline. I'm sure he did get a few negative tweets, practically every player does.

Edge1981 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Fans say negative things about pretty much every player during there time at a club, particularly when they can hide behind the screens using Twitter. I’ve seen a fair few Leeds fans say how much of a liability Ayling was and he went in to win player of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all very subjective but I think you'd expect someone who's achieved what Bryan has and scored THOSE goals (Rovers, Swindon, United) to be better thought of here. I'd argue that actually lots of fans are fairly ambivalent to him - as shown on this thread. More so than you'd think. I don't really remember seeing many shirts on the back with Bryan on at games. I saw plenty of Flint for example, Tomlin even. No real way of proving anything one way or the other but thought it was an interesting point.

I think there was plenty of times where it was clear Joe was slightly disinterested and not giving 100%. Commonly on the colder Tuesday nights or the away games up north it didn’t really look like he fancied it which made him an incredibly frustrating player to watch given the potential he had could’ve taken him to the very top. On his day he was capable of some extraordinary football. It was the questionable aspects of his attitude that stopped him becoming truly loved at Ashton Gate, but I still think most recognise him as the best talent our academy has produced in recent history.

I don't think its clear at all. I think body language can be misconstrued. Don't think he was ever disinterested or not giving 100% That was levelled at him a fair amount though.

However, perhaps my memory is failing me, but I can't recall Joe Bryan ever coming in for abuse from City fans? He was always an extremely popular local boy done-good during his time here wasn't he? Correct me if I'm wrong! Nothing in this article reflects badly on the club at all. There is one really tongue in cheek bit where he says: “I had a few tweets saying: ‘Now I know why you play so many games. Because you’re rubbish. Your dad saved your manager’s dad’s life. You must have gone and said, ‘Play me because my dad saved his life’. I can confirm I did not do that.” A few tweets. Hardly damning of Bristol City or Joe's views on club. The surgery happened in the 2016-17 season, by which point Joe was obviously really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bryan copped some stick from fans at times, but like Reid its not like he was a stand out player for years and years. He had a couple of good seasons and a couple of really memorable goals. Looked completely out of his depth positionally in the Prem in the few games I watched but I hope he does better this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a nothing story for me. He said he got a few tweets, that’s pretty much it. I agree with you though, despite being a Bristolian and scoring some historic goals, he was never quite up there with the top ‘fans favourites’. I think he could well be a little sensitive, but for what it’s worth, I remember him, pre/early LJ days, definitely getting some stick in the ground and on here. I wouldn’t go as far as to say ‘scapegoat’ - but I remember his mental strength, pace and effort being questioned on here, that’s not to say he should be free from criticism, but I wouldn’t say he was universally adored.

Both him and Reid were reportedly unhappy and clearly both knew they were going in the summer but given we were still in a promotion race it was pretty unforgiveable, in my opinion.

Probably frustrated at various things during the game being misread as a lack of interest, for me. Definitely hard to read body language so don't think anyone can be definite in their opinion on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Who cares. Good luck to the lad with his career, wish him all the best, but the Joe and Bobby love in we continuously see on here and by the club, is cringe He’s a decent player, but let’s not make out he is the next Ashley Cole.

Red Skin Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Think there are a few sensitive souls on here too. I suspect this was more of an sardonic aside that Joe gave - to highlight how daft some fans on social media are - and the reporter reckoned it would be the sort inflammatory tone to go with get readers. In nearly every interview I've seen he's quite aloof and sarcastic so he's quite easy to misread. Great player. Enjoyed his time with us. Pleased he's showing the world his class. Good luck to him.

redsquirrel Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 one thing Joe never came across as was arrogant or considererd himself above anyone intellectually during any of the conversations i had with him.. yes he was well spoken and well educated but that was down to his parents upbringing,nothing he could do about that. we had a few laughs and he even waited for me to go and get my shirt once so he could sign it at tesco. the article doesnt sit right with me as he didnt speak like that then unless london life has changed him.
