He wouldn’t have acted like such an ass if on the street… Seriously, if you were allowed on the pitch to smack a professional footballer, you think them smiling in your direction after their team scoring is justification to do so? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 I took offence to the Birmingham players celebrating after scoring rather than sending us a written apology and promising not to do it again! Bloody Birmingham players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works both ways, supporters wouldn't give the abuse to players if they saw them in the street Quite different though isn’t it… one persons actions is in your opinion enough to act like a douche bag to god and antagonise to try and wind up a whole stand of people? There would be people out there who will do it so you can’t say that. I just know that Pro’s wouldn’t stand out in the street outside Greville Smyth park after winning the game and start taunting and goading the whole street of people. You’re as bad as Ivan. What a right pair of plonkers we have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 When I was an 8 year old in about the fourth match I seen City play, I was in the East End with my father, Bristol City v Sheffield United. In a very close, contentious game Tony Currie scored the only goal of the match in the East End goal. As thousands were hurling abuse towards him from the stand when he scored, he stood in front of the East End blowing kisses. The showmanship was superb it knocked spots off of booing the villain in a pantomime and the impression it left on me has remained vibrant for over half a century. It summed up what football is all about and to me it defines the opposing reactions to a goal in the game. I much prefer this to having to mute celebrations in case of hurting the feelings of the already aggrieved at having conceded a goal. I love rubbing it in when I am elated at City scoring but equally I can take it when it's reciprocated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touch_my_butter Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 My housemate went to school with him. She said that Ruddy used to bully her relentlessly until her big brother stepped in to sort him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Alligator Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 It's very difficult to judge the competence of a goalkeeper if he's not put under pressure. As for the exchanges with the fans, well it's give and take isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtucks Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Having just watched the West Ham keeper save a penalty, it occured to me that his name makes him a bit of a tit!!! Edited August 20, 2023 by Redtucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max was lauded for his box command and distibution. he flaps at most crosses ( as he did before concession of the corner for the first goal), and his distribution makes Matt Hill’s delivery down the line look like messi bending one in the top corner. Hes not a top keeper whatsoever. Academy love-in is a joke. Just because a player is from the academy doesnt make them good enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 'If you can't take it, don't give it '.........were his words. Can fully understand the frustration of our fan though. It was a dreadful City display. Ugly even. Re his performance......he didn't have to do a thing. We were completely inept. Can't imagine we'll play that badly collectively again this season.... ...... bloody hope not anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right. My first match was earlier that season v Sheffield Wednesday who had just come down from the top flight. So I seen both Sheffield clubs before I seen both Bristol ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruddy, on the other hand, would probably be relieved to have been playing in front of the South Stand, rather than the East End. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
