Re: Gary Roberts update
 

yeagh OK .... you read on a MB things about gary roberts.. you decided to add a few more bits and continue to post them slagging him off even though its been pointed out thats its sorted...

I will continue to point out that he is a stanley player and should be supported until HE says he doesnt want to be here or HE doesnt give 100%

When i say suypport him.. i mean support him rather than attack him.. i am not talking about how long or big a stanley fan you are as you seem to ahve taken it in another thread :)

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

I will continue to support Accrington Stanley and anyone who pulls on the shirt and takes to the field, but when a players comitment has been questioned, you have to sometimes believe the hype

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

I think you'll find a lot of things get said by footballers agents and lets face it gary ain't the brightest button on the cardigan.If his agent has turned his head to bigger money then thats between him and gary.

He's a talented lad will obviously want to get as far as he can with his career, but to say he won't try is wrong. Gary knows hes got to knuckle down now and play his heart out coz he wont go anywhere but down, sat on his backside in the dug out.

Top and bottom gary loves his football and I'd rather he enjoyed it with us.

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

I agree with you up to a point.. but your then adding bits ... i dont recall gary roberts saying he wouldnt give 100% or that he wanted to leave.

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

Well when your linked with another club and go to meet agents etc. it sort of leads the fans down the path of "i want to leave"

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

being a footballer is a job... if you get offered more money elsewhere then your a fool not to look..

your putting a lot of store by what eric has said... yet eric also said he would prefer him to sit his last year out on the bench... i think 99% of people know that statement is not true as he would then leave and the club get nothing.... so do you also believe eric when he saus that or are you being selective? :)

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

woah! Don't take the hump with Gazza!!
Surely we should be angry at the agent who has alledgedly turned his head & illegally showed him insane figures of cash he could be earning.
We should also applaud the integrity of Eric when shooting down nasty speculation which disrupts our players.

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

But i have always thought when you sign for a club and play for them for a season and you get love from the fans, there has to be a little thing called LOYALTY
Yet again, not questioning it, but i belive that is what football today lacks at every club in the country, from Unibond to the Premiership, there is always some "big fish" to pry away a talented home-grown youngster with the promise of big bucks weekly and a celebrity lifestyle with a big house, and its getting pathetic, just like the money in our game today (which clubs like lower league teams never see)

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

shakermaker: So ya dont think erics comments fueld the anti roberts feelings then ?

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

Well, they led to some thoughts of "he doesnt want to be here, so why should we keep him?"

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

Well of course some people are going to 'rally behind Eric' so to speak - but we know all too well from past experience how some Football journalists love to paraphrase & twist the words of the people who could influence a big transfer.
We also know how passionate Eric Whalley is about this football club.

All I'm saying is people shouldn't be so quick to shoot down our own without proof of dissent towards the club.

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

Agree with ya Shaker, no one can question Eric's dedication towards the club, and who can blame someone for quoting him ?

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

has anyone ?

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

No KIPAX, dont try and twist my words, its called making a statement

Re: Gary Roberts update
 

haha wind yer neck in dan :)
