Alternatively if you walk around with a “Bannan is poo T Shirt on ” or maybe stand up in the middle of the North slagging the lad off someone will take you up on your offer . Fair do's. Seeing as I've been advocating leaving Bannan out in favour of a different midfield three, and, at the time when I posted I was the only one hinting at it again, I thought the comment was aimed at me. Whether it was or wasn't, "mugs" for me, is a bit much. Call us daft, tactically naive, had too much to drink or even a closet truffle hunter if you want, but I took offence to being called a mug. You've said you stand by it, fair enough. It seems cos we're online the normal rules of society don't apply, because unless you like looking for trouble, I doubt very much you'd say it to someone you don't know if you were having a debate about it. In my opinion, they'd get p**sed of about it and call you out. Let's get one thing clear, I'm not intimidating or threatening anyone. I ain't big enough and my days gobbing off at anyone ended when I was about 14. What I said, if you read it back, is that if you go around calling people a mug, you'd better be prepared for the consequences of that, whatever that might be. Personally, I'm gonna call you out on it, because last time I checked it was post, not poster. How you take that up is your business. Finally, I've never said "Bannan is poo", or anything remotely like it. To the contrary, I've commented that I like him as a player. I wish he was more productive, but that's more to do with what's ahead of him and around him. I'll be honest, I'm a little perplexed by the Bannan love in, but hey, each to their own. I certainly wouldn't call them mugs or any other insult. Anyway, it appears I stirred a hornets nest. Like I said earlier, I apologise. If my back chat was a bit abrasive, I apologise for that too, but intimidating, threatening... Give over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented that I doubt you'd do that face to face, to anyone really. Or maybe folk do. I took offence, I made that clear. My bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan is a good Championship player and one of our better players. There are better creative midfielders in the Championship such as Eze, Phillips, Pereira, Cairney, Daniel Johnson, Joe Allen. Bannan is weak defensively. Not his fault, not a criticism, he’s just not suited to defensive duties and therefore at times is a liability. Don’t think any are suggesting drop Bannan forever, rather that we have different / better options for certain games, opponents and situations. Like everyone else in the squad Bannan isn’t and shouldn’t be “ undroppable ” based on form, fitness, fatigue or tactics. Bannan is a firm favourite of the fans because of his love for the club and his passion and commitment. Also for some of his performances. However, like everyone else in the squad he’s good championship standard but not much more and if a better option became available we should upgrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike1867 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Folks, I've pm'd Hugeowl with an apology. I took offence to something that was posted. I should have phrased my reply much differently. My apologies. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Bannan is a wonderful footballer. Seems incredibly harsh to immediately compare him to shezza. Fletcher isn’t Hirst and Harris ain’t waddle. We all know that. If he was shezza he wouldn’t be playing in the championship, he ain’t perfect, but which championship player is, the reason he is with us is because PL clubs haven’t come knocking, lacking size and pace for that I think. But for what we want, he is wonderful. As for the other stuff on this thread, I’m staying well clear of it. Everyone getting fired up about very little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMacLean Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 He's good but slows the game down and is very inconsistent. Bit of a luxury player at times. If he was truly top class he'd have gone back to the Prem by now of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, takes a proper man to admit publicly he made a mistake (or more likely didn't word correctly) I'm sure he appreciates your personal apology too. UTO!

Many can't recall the goal you mentioned, but it may also have something to do with the speed it's at on the clip. I remember it being a fantastic goal (even better than Dalians earlier cracker) but never recall him having the pace he has on that Vid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
