THOSE OF YOU ALREADY ON MATTIS'S BACK

his chest lay off or nardiello at end of game was good-ish

 

eh?

(chinny) S)

 

I thought he had a decent game and showed enthusiasm

 

He should have been toold that we play in red

cos he never gave the ball to a Red shirt all afternoon

 

u been smoking the same **** as Davey? nt

 

Maybe he is Simon Davey?

 

well im afraid i said mattis wasnt good enough b4 he even tryed to kick a ball and guess what it proved me right today w**k w**k w**k

 

Ronnie Glavin was ****................................................

Ronnie Glavin was ****.....for the first 3-4 games he played for us . I can remember all the banter in the pubs , why have we sign this fat Scott who 's not fit.</p>

&quot;Don't worry Kev&quot; said my mate Stewart (RIP) from Fife. &quot;You have a fantastic player there just give him a bit of time.&quot;.</p>

Well ,we all know the rest of the story and the impact Ronnie had at this club.</p>

Mattis is certainly no Glavin but give the guy a chance to settle in for fecks sake.</p>

He's had one game in which we lost 1 nil to a top side in the Championship after hitting both crossbar and post. We could have been talking about a 2-1 victory to the Reds with a little luck.
</p>

Today was not a disaster there are still points to be played for and this team is capable of getting them..</p>

</p>

RE: Ronnie Glavin was ****................................................

Glavin was an international, Mattis is a player from BURY, after leaving HUDDERSFIELD on a freebie. Not a good comparison to make I dont think.

 

Instances of player's playing ***** in their first few games and then turning out to be gods are very few and far between I reckon.

Normally, when a player plays as ***** at Mattis did today, it's because he is *****.

I think that for every comparison with Glavin, about 1000 comparisons with other ***** players could be found.

 

In fact, I think that even Paul Gibbs had a better debut than that.

That says everything you need to know.

 

I was well impressed with him.

He got stuck in, never shirked a challenge, was always looking for the ball.
What do people want?

 

enthusiasm?

see gary jones.

 

Agreed

Gary Jones - Mattis,
both from lower leagues, bought because the new manager had connections with there clubs
Jones from Rochdale- Parkin was his manager
Mattis from Bury- Ryan Kidd was his coach
dont think Mattis will be any better than Jones

 

Neil Shipperley was christened Shitterley

after his first few games.</p>

Redders wasn't an instant success.</p>

Danny Wilson used to get dog's abuse.</p>

Chopra - nuff said.
</p>

And so it goes on...</p>

We allus know better than the professionals, don't we?</p>

 

RE: Ronnie Glavin was ****................................................

Ronnie had one cap and he was still crap for his first few games.
</p>

The condition he was in when he first came to the Club had folk saying he should head back over the border and be quick ablout it.</p>

My point is give the guy a break. It's much too early to judge.
</p>

 

You must have been looking for negatives in his play then because he wasn't *****.

We were all impressed with him in the Ponte. He has had to make the step up after 1 training session.</p>

Give him a break, he did well against a top of the league team who are looking to win a place in the Premiership </p>

 

Ronnie Glavin top scored for Celtic before he joined us.

Ahead of a guy called Kenny Dalglish. He cost &pound;60k about 28 years ago, that might be slightly more than &pound;50K today. Well done, yet another ridiculous comparison.

 

Not ridiculous at all.

It has nothing to do with the players' relative ability - what he's comparing is the fans' attitude.</p>

Which at Barnsley is continuously and consistently childish and pathetic.</p>

And frequently wrong.</p>

 

Not disagreeing about fans negativity to new players, just the relative backgounds

and cost of Glavin and Mattis are not remotely comparable.One had done it at a high level before he joined us the other has not.
