You should mate, you should.

We'll just put this unfortunate incident behind you and forget it ever happened.

You are never gonna learn owt if you are constantly in denial mate. Face up to your misgivings and you too can be like me. Don't worry tho, al tell Phil you're sorry for your earlier comments.
 
There are other areas much more important to improve before Bardsley, but that is probably the only reason he is still our main RB

If we want to develop and improve the squad over next few years, then him along with several others must be replaced
 
If Bardsley is a good, solid, mid-table Premier League full back then I take it Danny Rose is captain and the greatest full back ever for Universe XI?

We have a young kid on loan from a team that finished 4th last season, who has been a winger for a lot of his career and has only recently been converted to left back, that is 10 times the player that Bardsley is.

Phil Bardsley is Championship standard through and through.

He can't pass. He can't go forward. His crosses go higher than they go far. His positioning is terrible, it's either stand on the central defenders' toes and leave a gaping hole at right back or ball watch and leave his man at the back post. He is always too tight or giving the opposition too much space. He gives the ball away consistently with aimless hoofs as he shits his pants under and kind of remote pressure.

There is no doubt that he committed and likes a sliding tackle and fist pump but, ha'way, honestly, he is terrible.
 
I personally can't understand the stick he gets, never hides and one of the few players we have with a strong mentality.
 
It's the only reason he posts so much tripe about him. Bardsley never writes back. I think Eminem based his "Stan" song on Randle.

I wish it was tripe. Unfortunately the tripe is actually the player in question.

Err, because that means pretty much nowt if you're got no ability?
 
Is the OP a complete piss take and said in a sarcastic manner?

My, my, I was a bit drunk last night.

I was trying to get a bite off people. It seems there has been some decent debate on the matter though. Sensible, reasonable arguements put forward and little abuse.

SMB the way it's supposed to be. All it needs is for Spug to appear and tell us the news at the Peterlee Catholic Club about and a whinge about the trees and the thread is complete.
 
Seriously, Bardo comes in for a lot of stick on here despite being a former player of the year. I'm ever more convinced that most clowns who say this have little or no perspective on SAFC or RBs.

In the top flight the only proven RB we've had in the last 20 yrs was Chris Makin. He crossed the half way line with an oxygen mask and his lack of shooting or scoring earned him a chant that would erupt from the stands if he got 40 yards up from his own goal line of 'shooooooooooot'. He never made a decisive pass, never beat a man and never supported forward runs. Yet he became a legend.

Why was this? because he never let a man beat him at RB. Sure the ball might go past but we all knew the man never did. We'd regularly concede free kicks but we never cared and we came 7th twice.

Compared with this, Bardoi is class. He scores, he tackles and comes away with the ball, he can make a pass (sometimes very good), he can (at times) cross, he gives away fewer free kicks, he's totally committed. He is a defender when considering this information.

He is far in excess of players we've had in the past.

Post here if you can think of players we've had who are better than him in that position and justify your decision.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Because he is shit
 
The solid defensively argument, annoys me because he's not, he's just a bad tackler that makes him look 'git 'ard'.
 
Severely limited in an attacking sense and a liability in a defensive sense on occasion. For a "solid defender" his positioning is absolutely terrible, he gets sucked in at the back post constantly and is asleep half of the time when we are up against it.

Johnson would have a far easier time creating chances if the full-back would overlap and give him some space or an option other than attempting to take three players on and get a cross/shot in.

People citing that player of the year award might want to consider our fans also voted for Nosworthy and Collins to win that prestigious accolade. It's a f***ing joke.

Nyron deserved it that season tbf. Fuck knows why Collins got it like.
 
Amazing how well we have done defensively at times with a right back who can barely stand up or kick a ball according to some clever people on here. :lol:
 
we have the majority of our SAFC years tolerated players like Bardsley , tbf to the lad he nearly always gives his all but is substandard in this league , Man U rarely get it wrong when they hang their washing out
