JUDAS? Honoured his contract. informed club of his decsion and moved on. bit harsh really get over it. Will flinders hold it against us we were so keen to get shut and cash in? Its football how it works
Personally I see Healy more as a McPhail replacement Essentially for his range of passing, which to me was McPhail's strong point. Looking at who we lost from midfield last season, there was McPhail the playmaker, Burns the playbreaker and Shuker the tricky wide man. On early showings I suspect in Healy, Togwell and McIndoe respectively, we may have replaced with a better man in each position. Defence and attack both look a man short for this level to me. We'll have to hope for loan signings, or pray one or two of the young lads make rapid progress this season.
RE: Personally I see Healy more as a McPhail replacement Maybe Atkinson could be the answer. he played last night and didn't really look too out of place. The more he plays the better he will get.
RE: JUDAS? 1, I am over it 2, He fecked about last year and only re-sisgned when no one else wanted him 3, made it clear that if someone offered money he would go 4, he only started to show his true talent when his contract was nearing the end basically, loyalty is a cheap word in football nowadays, and in the way he acted in the points above, will certainly be getting some stick from a few fans. Whos being harsh Flinders, just what the hell has that got to do with McPhrail... end of the day it was up to him, the club recevied an acceptable offer (to them anyway) and told scott they had accepted a bid, from then on, its up to scott. he didn't have to sign for them, could have turned it down and stayed. They didn't kick him out the door. completely different scenario
He nearly cost us in the playoffs with that daft backpass to Colgan! That's what I'll remember him by!
RE: JUDAS? im just saying JUDAS is a little harsh. I hope McPhail and cardiff do nothing and he regrets his decision. Im just saying he never lied to us, he played we paid him, his commitment of course looked shabby at times. He never lied to us though, never said well im staying here, decided to stay last time because we were best offer. Got what he see's as a better one cant say he has betrayed us for that? Danny Wilson, JUDAS yes im staying with Barnsley, then sods off. i see that as betrayed. Besides i do not think we will miss Mcphail as Tina said his last telling contribution was to almost knock us out of playoffs.
aye... now I agree, maybe we both just read each others post slightly different to what was meant. my brains not with it last couple of days ya see(seestars)
RE: aye... perhaps Flinders was a bad example was trying to do flip side. Then i remembered good Old Danny Boy. how could i forget. Anyhow we agree McPhail no big loss, wish we had Chopra though
RE: aye... completely, chopra, but don't think we will ever see him now, but that one will go down as a big miss. Danny boy, now theirs a 50/50 split, completely agree to that too, but their are still people who would have him tomorrow, wheras other would rather give him a slap. I would have had him back at the point we were looking into a new manager, but think we are in capable hands now, and am glad we appointed AR...
RE: Personally I see Healy more as a McPhail replacement I'd agree with you on that, all 3 look better than the ones they replaced. Let's hope the early promise comes good
