He had a couple of nice touches, a good offload here and there, but for the most part he looked shattered.

Got some stick but took it well, he actually seemed to enjoy it.

The point is he did very little yesterday to impress many, he may well improve buts thats for another day.

So what, they are opinions one of which was totally tongue in cheek but hey.

Why do you feel the need to justify Bird, I don't get it. If he goes well I'll give him the credit, but to give him the kudos he has received after half a game from folk like you is not for me Id like to see a little more, in fact on second thoughts I really don't care - I'm a lot more bothered that Bibey continues to improve - silly me when I should be wetting myself over a Catalan player

I am starting to think that there are 2 possibilities here - either you genuinely didn't see any class, or indeed signs of class, from Bird yesterday or you see complimenting him as some sort of slight on our club as we tried but failed to sign him. If its the former, then I suppose its fair enough - as the saying goes about opinions and arseholes - but it would leave some questioning your judgement. I suspect it could be the latter though, and out of sort of misguided loyalty to our club you think you are defending it by refusing to admit a guy we tried to get is any good.

If you want to debate I all ears, but you seem to want to just get the last word in at the moment......

may i suggest a new limit?

number of posts can not exceed the minutes in games time a player has been on the pitch in the debated game?


so this thread ends at about 20

or about 5 if you say its when i noticed he was on the pitch


damn got involved

To impress many ?
Think the same amount have said they were impressed than they weren't.

Now this may seem a silly point that perhaps havent cropped up much on this board ever, but in the first half were he impressed me the most, i was stood behind the sticks to the far left about 10 metre's in and for the first half bird was straight in front of my line of view.

I could see how he stood, what he did with every ball, where he looked, the lines he ran, the spaces he put people through the little things he did some of you was stood on the other side near the bottle bar (i know adam was not sure about vastman? ) and he may of seemed to you and others to be just another player, passer at the other side of the pitch couldnt see him in as much detail about 55 metres away.
The second half i switched sides so i could see our players score and on that side i could watch his performance albeit not in as much detail.
Perhaps, Just Perhaps you couldnt see his performance in as much detail as i could and cannot fully evaluate his performance ? !
