He's here for money and has chosen to toss it off on plenty of occasions since he's been here. Look at the physical state of him at the back end of last season. Seen smaller bellies in the pie queue at half time. It’s like fans really don’t want quality strikers. The hate since he has arrived is ridiculous, abit like this post. I couldn’t care less if he celebrated, he could stick two fingers up at us every game if he finished top scorer for me. More seem chuffed about Fondop because he does social media and tries hard.

This could be a big problem. Plenty on here saying Conlon should be better this year after a full pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Ah the Norwood hating has started already. We really do try our best as a fan base to fuck ourselves over. Can’t wait for Norwood to leave and those same people say we need a proven goalscorer. Can’t fucking win. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Do we know if Norwood and Garner are even injured nevermind the bizarre theory that they would fake an injury to Jack it off. Think it's important to deal with actuals rather than rumour and innuendo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s starting to become really irritating. We won’t move on unless as a collective of fans, we change our mindset. People are already eager for Mellon to lose a couple of games at the start of the season. It is sad to be honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought this would be a big season for Norwood given our midfield signings but this injury may well hold him and us back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense Ad. For 1000th time. No one has ever questioned his ability. For the record. I think this injury thing is complete bollocks and he is actually- just injured. But he doesn’t always try, his level against Chestefield at home is what he’s capable of, yet we only see it when he can be arsed- which isn’t very often. 17 goals last season was an average return for someone of his ability and maybe if he contributed more to the team his goal ratio would go up. This idea that he is untouchable because his previous record and ability is ridiculous. Then add in the numerous whispers about his off field conduct and you start to get a picture of player that is a bully big bollocks who is bigger than the team. If he showed some humility and did his job more, he’d the player we all know he can be more often. And yes- people do like Mikey because he tries, and god forbid he actually gives the impression he enjoys playing for the club. How disgusting. . . The amount of fans that want quality players and don’t give a fuck about their conduct, attitude, or professionalism just because their quality is utterly bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With potentially better players to support him, we should see the best of Norwood this season. And what’s even more frustrating is that the club has provided no update on whether it’s a serious injury or just a niggle. It all just adds to the rumours.

We have almost daily bulletins from the club but no mention of any injuries. It shouldn’t be too difficult to keep the fans informed as to why our main goal scorer is not in attendance!! Info coming out of the club regarding injuries, suspensions, illness etc.etc. has been non existent for a while now and it needs to change. I’d rather the important issues are dealt with rather than the ‘Where is St Andrew’s’ & the ‘What’s Scotland most famous for’ bollocks!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The where is St Andrews stuff is fine, it is just abit of a gimmick and shouldn't be taken too seriously probably just designed to show that players are a normal group of lads who just happen to play football. Their could be all kinds of reasons for them not appearing there so I wouldn't rush to draw any conclusions just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm glad our club ignores all this social media innuendos and crap. Remember when back page of the chronicle was our info source. No speculation and toxic comments that seem to drive everybody these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to disagree, especially with the points about his 17 goal return not being that good. Despite our leading assists last season (Green, who missed half the season injured) finishing on 4 assists. When the quality was that bad around him it’s hardly a surprise he gave up. Not sure anyone could blame him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he did give up, but that’s not his fault. . You’re actually admitting that because he’s good and the others aren’t - he can be excused for not trying!! Nor does he need to take any responsibility for his own performance. Well, I’ll tell you what- don’t bother joining and taking money Barnsley won’t offer two division higher if you’re just going to give up. A lot on here can’t believe we don’t like top players. No. What I don’t like is top players who don’t have to try, are excused from any personal responsibility of performance, and lauded for past achievements not what they do for us. I like top players who are the difference between winning and losing, I like top players who lead by example, I like top players to show a level of consistency that is beyond the average player.

LightDN123 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 The disrespect to Norwood bloody hell. You trying playing upfront with Shelton, Sheron and McGahey pumping it to your head for 90 mins. Or centre mids playing on the wings. Madness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 This is hilarious with Norwood now. Conlon and Raglan don’t get the same absolute free pass he does. Both have played at the same level he has, both are judged on their performances regardless of who is in the team. But our James is being disrespected or picked out unfairly to the point where it’s understandable if he gives up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
