Chairman Mao Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 13 hours ago, Angmering Red said: Maybe threads on here like Joe Bryan - Conference player Started by Chairman Mao May 7th 2017 presumably after the Birmingham home defeat last game of the season, may have something to do with it. some interesting descriptions of his ability, ‘if he keeps going backwards at this rate he will be on the downs’, ‘it looked like they had given a competition winner a game’, ‘ not sure he has mental strength, desire or courage’ , as well as the usual terrible, awful, shocking, woeful etc etc. From the same poster who thought Ayling was a waste of space as well, maybe they should shut up about full backs. Not my finest hour, clearly. But Bryan needed the move, he had stagnated at City. Good on him for kicking on (my recollection was he had a decent first stint in the Prem so expect him to have another good year). Funnily enough my favourite part of his city career was when he played centre midfield at the back end of the 15-16 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim S Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 12 hours ago, And Its Smith said: Tim Shires saying that Bryan shouldn't say things that might get taken the wrong way. Ridiculous. I didnt say he shouldnt have said it. I just thought it could have been worded differently. However - after reading it several times, it becomes more apparent that the journalist who wrote the article (or his editor - whoever wrote the headline) is partly responsible for it being taken out of context. The headline made it sound much worse than it was - even though the quote from Joe seemed like he was tarring all fans with the same brush, when he actually only aimed it at a minority.

TomThumb84 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 For what it’s worth, and I will probably get loads for this; I think Joe Bryan is given a lot of slack for being a local, when actually he let us down when we needed him most. His performance v Bolton away in Feb 18 was pretty much the worst performance I have seen from a City full back ever. Personally, and obviously this is completely subjective, he is not in my top 5 left full backs of my lifetime of supporting City, and aside from an excellent performance V Man Utd, and a goal V Rovers I struggle with him.

The fact he is a local lad was used against him for years. The complete opposite of him being given slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packman Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I still think Joe Bryan's performance against Man Utd was the best I've ever seen of anyone in a City shirt. I wish him all the best in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinmans Love Child Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I didn’t read his comments as negative about the club, sounded very much that he was telling a funny story more than anything, nothing to see for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Joe would be one of those footballers that yer insecure poorly educated, abuse-bantering munter type fans - and players! - cannot warm to, and feel threatened by, for reasons they cannot fathom, and a player that traditionally, upon seeing him in possession of a book, or a newspaper that did not contain a picture of a young woman dressed only in her pants, would label as "gay," and want to fill him in (or, in the 21st century, send him abusive messages via an electronic thingy).

It's called the "Grayham la Saux" syndrome, It's fostered on middle class people who choose a working class job like footballer or Turkey felcher over more traditional careers like solicitor or massive ****...
