Chris Bailey - a disgrace!

[dadnlad]

only at city can we call one of our own and that being one of the best players in the world, time to get a grip and support the lad

I sat somewhere different in the North Stand yesterday, and have come to the realisation that some people will never be happy!

Here we have a luxury £32million pound player, somebody I would never dream of having in my team, somebody who has more skill in his toe than most players, somebody who I truly believe likes this club. Yet the abuse directed at him yesterday made me want to go around and castrate everyone of the fuckers who do not want him!

FAIRY
DOESN'T TRACK BACK
£100,000 A WEEK
AND THE BEST ONE...WASTE OF MONEY

This was some of the utter shite that was aimed at ROBINHO yesterday. Iv'e put ROBINHO in capitals so people who slag him off will realise how lucky we are to have a player of his calibre.

Sure he is going through a bad patch but it's his first season in un-doubtedly the greatest league in the world, you can see that he is trying to get out of this and the only way he will, is if people get off his back and start supporting him and the club, rather than picking at everything he does!

Great post. May I add that from my seat in the singing section yesterday I witnessed something that I can't remember happening since the days when Richard Edghill was playing for us - the downright inexcusable act of booing one of our players, namely Robinho. It happened the very next time he touched the ball after missing the penalty and to say I was disgusted is an understatement. So much so that I told every idiot who was booing to shut the fuck up. Some of the abuse he's enduring from our own fans at the moment is a fucking disgrace - the bloke tracks back far more than he is given credit for but no, some people fail to see that, and instead make stupid retarded judgements whenever something he tries doesn't quite come off.

Booing Robinho is as wrong and out of order as booing Edghill several years back.

Two cracking posts. Its a shame to say, but also undeniable - there are some thick fucking c**ts who support City.

You have to laugh at the numpties who have a go at him for not tracking back, when he does it almost as much as sweep. His strength is not his tackling but he puts his body there. Funny thing really, that a 32.5 million pound forward should be playing primarily as a defender according to plenty.

The irony is that as soon as Petrov is back they will all be calling for Robbie to be dropped. Petrov the incredible left back. Theres a player who will track back and fight for the team!

I whole heartedly agree. There is an agenda against Robinho. He has been made the new scapegoat. Its disgusting. The people doing it are the ones that are holding us back.

Exactly. And as much as I like Petrov, you're dead right in that he tracks back less than Robinho. Another thing that gets on my tits is the much-peddled line that "He doesn't do it often enough in away games" - well, to be honest I don't think many of our players do the business in away games on as consistent a basis as they do in home games, because if they did we'd have gained a lot more points away from home. Pointing the finger at one particular player with regards to that is utterly wrong because it's quite obvious that pretty much the whole team are culpable.

I agree with everything in this thread, the stick Robbie is getting is ridiculous. It just proves even further the theory that the average football fan is a complete idiot.

My old man commented yesteday about him after that penalty, and i told him not to start this shit. The lad is short of confidence and getting on his back wont help.

If it wasn't for the Sunderland keeper yesterday Robbie could've scored 2 or 3. Get behind him, like you do with the team when they need you.

Or lets just ban Brazilians at City, cos lets be honest, every single one of them are shit! Aren't they?

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

He didn't play well yesterday and he badly needs a goal, that being said he gets a 5 from the same paper that gave Rooney a 6 as a 2nd half sub that was sent off and who's team lost 2-0!

judge Robinho on his performances, not his reputation.
i think some people are still getting 8=========D over him simply because they like the idea of having a 'world class' player
at City
the reality is he has failed to show up when the pressure is on. he doesnt win games; thats what defines world class players, not the amount of stepovers you can do without actually beating the defend

and its silly to compare his first season with Ronaldo's; Ronaldo scored 6 in his first season, but as an 18 year old, playing abroad for the first time
Robinho is an experienced 25 year old, on about 16 times a week what Ronaldo was at the time

and no before you start im not a 'rag' simply a city fan who also has an open mind and appreciates good football

When the other ten players were playing out of their skins?!?!

IT's not us that are wanking over having a world class player at city it's people perception of what a world class player is and what a world class players role is!!

For me a world class player should score 200+ goals in a season and at half time be buying the fans a pint whilst signing autographs, anything else and he's shite.

Robiniho is a great player who is going through a tough patch on and off the field, give him time.

How the fook does Robinho warrant a mark of five in his MEN ratings today.

I'm starting to become right pissed off at the amount of people who have it in for Robbie in recent weeks and there now appears to be a real agenda to force this boy out.

People need to start asking themselves why the 'buzz' word is to stick the knife into him at every opportunity.

Yesterday, I really felt for him, he ran himself into the ground and tracked back and covered Zab time and again.

It's clear he was desperate to get on the scoresheet and I would suggest he is trying TOO hard at the mo.

Chris Bailey and other papers this morn again questioned his desire, one thing definitely on show on Sunday.

This is a young kid who has scored 12 goals in his first season - three goals behind Ronaldo (who scored six in his first year) in the most physical league in the world.

Robbie doesn't exactly possess the frame (yet) to totally compete and make the progression he wants more than anyone else.

The only thing which I can see being thrown at him is his price tag - something out of his control - as are his wages. Nobody can say he hasn't proved a better buy than Berbatov.

I finally cracked yesterday when a guy behind spent the entire game laying in to him - telling him he was shit ' the worst player ever to pull on a blue shirt'

Anyone who thinks the fans of Manure, Chelsea, Liverpool, media, are slagging him off because they can see he is holding poor old City back and just want the best for us are deluded.

It is done because Robbie being at City has put noses out of joint and he reprsents our challenge to the old guard.

Now I fear a significant minority of blues are also deluded.

Ask themselves how we will be perceived by others (included those in media who already take delight in doing us down) if Robbie is forced out - and to other players we are trying to sign.

Little old City, not big enough to keep a player like Robinho etc etc.

I told him to shut it and realise how lucky he was to see such a world class talent in a City shirt - Brazil's number ten - and how he'd rather have Ricky Holden running down the wing like the good old days.

Imagine what Robbie will be like when he has seriously good players around him.

In a Manure, or any other top four team, he'd have had 20 goals already.

All I hope is my fellow blues will put an arm around this kid, before it's too late to realise how much of a good thing we were actually on to.

On the bbc where fans vote he got 4.47

I like the lad he just infuriates me when he looks like he does'nt give a fuck

If he didn't give a fuck he wouldn't have taken the penalty.
