RE: it's because he is ****, not I think SwintonRed's point is does that justify the ferocity of abuse he gets?
Perfect example ...Tommy Wright. Fookin useless at this level but didn't get dogs abuse. Barnsley is full of repressed racists. You'll never get folk to admit they are while ever they've got a hole in their arse though. A lot of people will genuinely not realise that they are either, their attitudes so ingrained and accepted within their own circles.
RE: What a load of B*ll*cks. We know he is. The point is, so have been a lot of other players over the years and they haven't had dogs abuse.
You see, that's the thing... he does not try and would never and will never "come back fighting". He doubted his own ability when we wanted to sign him. He had to think about staying put rather than believing in his own ability and going for it in the Championship. Don't call me a racist because I think he is toss. That is a very arrogant narrow minded view point and I think it's a terrible point of view. I can't deny he has has abuse some of it racist, but fans supporting him more would not have made any difference - he is simply not up to it - black, white or pink.
probably more xenophobic but either way immaterial. If he's good or crap it doesn't really matter what race or nationality he is
Thing is with oddjob, he's nigerian so he's actually 49 rather than 26 which is why his relflexes are shot.
I don't think he is being arrogant or narrow-minded or accusing people who don't rate KO as racist He is saying that the people who give him an unacceptable amount of abuse are driven by their racist attitude. there are numerous players over the years who aren't good enough but haverecieved nothing like the severity of the abuse KO does for simply trying to do his job which unforunately for all involved he isn't capable of at this level
Case of Obafemi Martins? While at Inter there was rife speculation he was alot older than his passport suggested, although rumours of him being close to 40 were unfounded when he scored and did a triple summersault Still not entirely sure how old he is like!!!!
I've never booed him and wish him all the best And am not the slightest bit racist, but I'm afraid he is simply not good enough. Whatever culture, creed, colour someone is, is of no relevance to me. How come everyone loves JCR if that's the case and everyone thought Paul Gibbs was wnak?
Tommy Wright got some absolute terrible abuse , he still does on here. If a player is not good enough he will get some stick, it has happened all through the time I have watched football, its nothing to do with the colour of his skin or his nationality. We have had worse players and everyone will agree on this one, Willie Ferry, he was not black and he got some proper abuse, he was just a poor footballer, same as KO.
The guy is one thing many people on here cry out for... a proven goalscorer. The only problem with KO is that he suffers from lack of confidence. Building up to the Liverpool game i saw an improvement in KO, when the Chelsea game came he terrorised one of the best teams in the world. He looked good afterwards but his confidence was shot to bits again when he issed at Wembley, even though he scored 2 in the game after (against a very out of form Watford side), he's never fully recovered from what happened at wembley, i thought a loan spell to get some goals under his belt would help out, but obviously not.
