GodEmperor Palpatine Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Awful group, the average iq on there is far, far lower than here it seems. Loads of absolutely basic opinions.One of their main mods started a 'campaign' to 'close down' otib. His justification was a screenshot of a post calling for SC to be relieved of his duties. The screenshot wasn't even from here?Bit harsh, its not much different here... just more swearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Whilst nearly inciting a riot in the Arsenal end. I can even understand if he scored the goal in the Arsenal away end, but to score the goal the other side of the pitch and run 90 yards to celebrate in front of them was OTT, and completely hilarious.At least we don't have to worry about Wilbs running 90 yards to celebrate scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaw Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 At least we don't have to worry about Wilbs running 90 yards to celebrate scoring Don't worry.....he'll get the full 90 minutes to complete it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephjnr Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 He sort of did, he ran off with players surrounding him, it looked to me like he was, and I thought from the restart he appeared to be geeing up the home fans a minute later. But whatever, he wasn't prolific for us, I don't expect much affinity there.The 2013/14 League One Golden Boot says otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 The 2013/14 League One Golden Boot says otherwise.The irony is people do consider him to have been prolific for MK Dongs, yet he scored more for us in fewer games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 The irony is people do consider him to have been prolific for MK Dongs, yet he scored more for us in fewer games. Percentage of chances taken perhaps.Baldock himself stated with some embarrassment that he'd never had so many chances created for him than when he was at City, and had never missed so many.If you miss open goals week after week you're unlikely to be remembered as 'prolific' even if your total gives that impression in retrospect.

He had a poor spell where he did poorly in one on one situations but for some reason people think he should have scored 40 goals! Let's not forget we were fighting relegation for most of the season. His ratio of 1 every 2.4 games for us is amongst the best we've had in my 20 odd years of regular attendance Maynard, Thorpe and Lita - who are all widely considered to be prolific for us - all behind Baldock in terms of their prolificness....prolifirence....prolifency goals.

BS4 on Tour... Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I really liked Baldock, he was an absolute credit to our club, especially when he was captain. Great pro. Good luck to him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 The irony is people do consider him to have been prolific for MK Dongs, yet he scored more for us in fewer games. I wasn't just talking about the infamous and seemingly never ending series of one on one's, though they stand out as possibly the worst run of failures in front of goal I've seen from an individual City striker in 45 years.No, it was missing tap ins as well, concluding in him losing his head completely and violently booting an advertising hoarding in front of the EE when he somehow contrived to put an open goal header wide from 2 yards out, his 3rd bad miss in quick succession.He was furious and embarrassed, and rightly so, and it was to the credit of City fans that the AG crowd remained supportive.I realise all too well we were fighting relegation at the time, hence his appalling spell of finishing at the time being all the more frustrating, and presumably prompting his need to publicly express his disappointment in himself.At other times during his time at AG he finished with superb confidence, but overall it has to be said Baldock's finishing for City was very much hit and miss, and at times bewilderingly poor.

... Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 To answer the OP:-1) Did they play 'Celebrate', by Kool & the Gang, when he scored?2) Did he do a ridiculous dance to the music?Therein lies your answer.Hope this helps.

TRL Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I hope he celebrated. Personally I think football is about winning and enjoying the game when you score win etc. When you start taking that away because of some sort of respect I personally think it is a little false. Enjoy the moment... If it really upsets you to score against a former team do not make yourself available to play. If you respect your former team and you want to convey that then speak after the game. Personally I think you are letting your team mates and you current fans down. Enjoy the moment.

That's not prolific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how anyone can score a goal at any level and not run off punching the air in Steve Jones fashion.At professional level you don't aim your celebration towards the other team's supporters though, that's just being antagonistic for no good reason.This not celebrating out of 'respect' nonsense is truly pathetic and annoying, if you score a goal the natural reaction is to celebrate, whoever the opposition are.

havanatopia Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Players over celebrate a goal at the best of times. A handshake is good enough every time for me; its their job for crying out loud and they are well paid for it.. just score, shake a hand and get on with it.

A handshake is good enough every time for me; its their job for crying out loud and they are well paid for it.. just score, shake a hand and get on with it.Understatement really, there's nothing like scoring a goal. I remember the euphoria of that feeling even playing u12s football. Football would be far duller without players/fans/managers showing emotion. It's great to see players enjoy the moment after scoring.It was great to see Cotterill celebrating the goals at the 3-0 vs Swindon and sprinting down the touchline vs Leeds. That iconic image of Murray cupping his ear to the Cardiff fans wouldn't have ever happened had he just "had a handshake and got on with it" because it's his job.It may be a "job", but it's far from completing what's expected of you in an office or something.

Alex_BCFC Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 He did well for us but I don't think he cuts it at Championship level.Decent for applauding the City fans at the end - not really bothered what he does for celebration.
