elhombrecito Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 :@ of course not!! i new this would start an argument :Sleep12: ← Then don't be racist. By all means boo Robbo 'cause you don't like him. And engage in some friendly banter with the Welsh (like Saturday) if you like but don't boo Robbo just because he's a Welsh c###.

Slave to the rhythm Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I don't think booing Roberts because he's Welsh would be quite the same Really? So anti-Welsh racism is OK? As I'm an Englishman called Jones who comes from a Welsh family I think that's really daft. Racism is racism and it's always unwelcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TinmansCulturedLeftPeg Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I'm not a big fan of Christian Roberts because I think there is potential there,A LOT of potential....there's still more to come out of him,I understand that in training he could be a world-beater at times but a sunday league player at other times,but I've been told he really looked the part in training on occasions and was annoying to coach because there was so much more to come out of him....at Cardiff they told him that he can be as good as he wants to be....I'd of moulded him into the most lethal striker in this division if I was gaffer and would never of got rid of the fella....he'd add a spark to any squad and Swindon are lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freezer Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I'm Robbo's biggest fan now, i think the bloke is amazing. Pace, vision and he is more intelligent than i thought. Anyway, just wondering how you lot feel about him now? ← Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest monster red Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Damn right I will boo him, In fact I wouldnt normally bother going away for a LDV game but it should be quite a laugh taking the mick out of Roberts!! I think I'll puchase my ticket now!! Makes me laugh all these fools trying to sound intelligent wittering on about racism, the simple fact of the matter is any player who was crap for City then moved on would get the exact same treatment from me and many others!!

Guest jaypug Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 its a bit like telling most fans down the gate not to boo a certain Colchester player who was on loan to us & was a waste of space. If people want to Boo then it is going to happen!! i myself like Roberts but i a more thinking of how is he going to be with the City fans. I f he scores against us next week is he going to not celebrate it like when he scored against Cardiff!! Lets all think about that one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albany P reds Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 As i said in an old post, i was talking to him the other sunday at the races. And i did say to him just because i'm talking to you now doesnt mean i won't be booing and giving you abuse on tues. And his reaction was to laugh and say he didnt expect anything else. So how come the bloke it involves can take it in the spirit its given and half the people on here just don't get it I'll give him 90 mins of abuse/banter but after the game my opinion of him will still be he was a top bloke when i met him.

jimmyb Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I wont boo him at all - i'm not someone who tends to boo old players when they come back anyway as at the end of the day they are all free to go and theres no reason why any of them should feel any loyalty towards the club really - its just a job to them at the end of the day. And although Robbo certainly wasnt everyones cup of tea he did score some important goals for us while he was here (Cardiff Home and Away, Hat Trick at Barnsley, Hartlepool of course, last minute winner against Grimsby) and that should be recongised and appreciated. Of course it wont which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphy_STFC Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Interesting replies there people. I can't understand how you all think he has one good game in ten though?!! He has been outstanding for us in every game. Set up loads of goals and his pace is awesome, Hull couldn't cope on saturday. I've allways thought Robbo is the sort of player who you love to have on your team but hate it if he is against you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 In answer to your question, no I won't. He did do well for us I think and I certainly didn't slate him when he was here. He did his best to get us promotion with his goal against Hartlepool. I wish him all the best except against us. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfan Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 You should all applaud the guy and at least give some acknowledgement that he did do some good at City (including, but not limited to, a great contribution to the play offs). Brooker has scored 5, Roberts 4 since they started with their respective new clubs. As with Brooker, Roberts has made many assists and looks in awesome form for Swindon. He seems to have a more free and wandering role too as Wilkshire does for us. Naturally, I hope we win. But I would like Roberts to have a great game and score a fantastic goal against us, either from distance, or by running us ragged, just to remind evetyone that he IS an exciting prospect and even now, a decent player! Let everyone give him a warm welcome and round of applause when he comes on the pitch. And lets all hope that we come out the winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I really liked robbo as a player , i found him explosive and really exciting to watch , he gave me some great memories as well with some great goals.

Rednready Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Like all players playing their old clubs, Robbo will be trying 110% to make City management look bad. Robbo will know that Butler is our slowest back, and with his speed may try to create gaps through Butler. I would spot mark him with Bradley Orr and have him tied to Robbos ankles for the entire match.....take him out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
