Barry Sheene Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 He will be playing for Cardiff. If we want to get to the promised land then we need to make Ashton Gate as unwelcoming and intimidating as possible and that includes ex players. If you want to stay behind and applaud them after the final whistle then that's your business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 BOOOOO. He plays for Cardiff and we won nothing in his time here anyway. The only (recent) ex-players I really have any love for were the double winners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 If you're asking me to cheer for a player who cost us £5.3M, gave him a platform to ultimately go towards him playing & winning the AFCON for his country, refuse to sign a new contract and ultimately proceeded to run his contract down so we got nothing for him, then proceeded to allow his performances to dip towards the end of that contract and was one of the numerous reasons why we've suffered FFP since then, it will be a no for me. Yes, he scored 50+ goals for us [that will earn polite applause] but he could've done a whole lot, lot more but sadly he chose not to do so. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natchfever Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 1 hour ago, Cole Not Gas said: When they're gone they're gone; i dont usually have much sentiment about ex-players and certainly not about ex-managers - unlike a small group on here - but this Saturday may be an exception. I wont cheer him on but i certainly wont boo him; what about you? I quite liked CoD until his injury which i think happened at, or soon after, he ripped Sunderland's LB to pieces at the Stadium of Light. Thereafter he didnt really impress. Famara was different; we had a good song for him, which could be modified to "he comes from Senegal and now he'll win F.All, Famara" Some 50 goals for us in 160 games, great defensively and part of an era where we recruited really good forwards, unlike the most recent ones of Mehmeti and Cornick Let's hope his legs have aged a bit and he doesnt cause us any problems. Ill ignore him initially but he will naturally get boos so how he handles them might set the tone for the rest of the game. I think he went through the motions latter stages of his time here, so I dont think too fondly of him tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westonred Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Callum O'Dowda comes on crosses for Diedhiou to score of course we are going to boo him.. Did Rovers fans cheer Matty Taylor no of course they didnt Its a Boo from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I liked him (also accept the point that he checked out with about 4 or 5 months of his contract left) but Saturday would be completely the wrong time to acknowledge that. He plays for Cardiff now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His checking out' certainly was his choice but may have been more to do with other management at the club including the coach, who also made numerous mistakes with other players. He wasnt very complimentary about Ashton either, but for me it's water a long way under the bridge now. We will see quite a few players leave in the next few months if Manning is still in charge and gets money to spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Anyone with the energy to boo Fam on Saturday clearly isn't putting in enough effort to boo our own players and manager . According to some posts on here, we need to destroy our own new recruits as a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 It’s an ignore from me. I won’t go down the booing route as I’ve witnessed what an inspirational boost it can give a player. Stan Collymore for instance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from his performances, you have to blame Mark Ashton for all of the other reasons. I dislike when there's complaints about players running contracts down, that's a risk a club has to take. Same way players get released after years of service. Neither owe each other anything, you agree a contract and that's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fpcity Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Yes he scored 50 odd goals but he was here 4 years, played most games, took penalties. I'd expect most strikers with that amount of game time to score that many. As I've said before he was slow, no touch, not that physical most of the time for a guy his size. Those months out in 17/18 when we had Reid and Pato forward kind of proved he hampered our play or certainly that season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
