swindlered Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 It's not that he's a bad footballer (well to some it is) it's his 'chav' persona, it's hard to explain as I can't speak on behalf of them Some Brief Views. ... Obviously the whole Bristol City will come into play too. ← Swindon is full of 'Chav' he'd fit right in. Except that rather than sample the dubious delights of the Bedroom, Edwards & Lava Lounge he'd wisely hot-tail it back to Cardiff at every opportunity.

bransonmo Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Good point Mr Ed. Bit early in the morning for all this. I'd still let him go though. We have Brooker, Lita, Heffernan, Miller and Gillespie who I all think are better players. An argument could be made that Roberts can also play on the wing but he has seemed ineffective when played there. Plus did anyone see Roberts not celebrate with the rest of the team after Murray's goal against Huddersfield? Very strange. ← Right now we have Miller & Heffernan who cost us money and cant hold down a first team spot.Goodfellow has gone to the Vale, and Roberts wont be a first team fixture. We have Brooker who also cost us money, so we need some money coming in. Yes we do have bean counters, so lets bring in some revenue to help balance the books. We have an exciting squad with Scott Brown, Harley,Gillespie,and Lita still in their teens.....lets use our own talent....correctly in their best positions,we will do just fine. Perhaps we will not quite make the playoffs this year, but given a season to settle down, Tins should have a stronger settled team next season.

Cider red Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yes , lets sell one of our best strikers to our local rivals so he can score a hat trick against us! Sounds like a masterplan to me. With the majority of fans attitudes to roberts i would actually be happy for him if he scored against us , and beleive me he would celebrate.

Guest Neo Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yes, like you did on Lita. ← Once again we find your facts slightly clouded. I, like several others wondered at the START of the season, whether Lita was ready for the first team and wondered if a loan move would suit him. I'm sure even you "oh great one" were surprised after a fairly average pre-season to see him given a starting berth for the first league game. AND, unlike many others, I did not brush this statement under the carpet and hope nobody noticed. I came on here and said I was wrong and that he has proved beyond doubt that he was ready. Never once did I state I don't rate him and not once since I admitted I was wrong have I criticised him in any shape or form. However, many others have and yet you are surprisingly silent towards them. Is it that you like creating argument with a select few? If so, you are sadder than I at first thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
