markowl Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Can anyone, hand on heart say they wouldn't have been surprised if we'd lost 4-0? Or is it just George and Sally who think that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely give him stick if he plays against us but I'm not bothered whether he does well or not and I have no animosity towards his Wednesday departure. I agree. He's not a goal scorer like his dad, but he runs the channels well and works hard. I can see him as a decent "forward" playing wide in the future. But only in league one or the championship.

McRightSide Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 4 is probably a bit generous, but a 2-0 win probably would have been a fair result but for some poor finishing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 His audition for the British Olymics diving team has been a success. Judges were impressed by his ability to execute so many dives in such a short time. Charlie Uniform November Tango 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mcguigan Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Footballing nepotism at it's finest. Can't think of many strikers, with just 4 goals in 70 appearances and 6 season's as a pro, that get to still play on the stage young George does.

prowl Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 He's not going to make it at this level. He's played 70 league games and scored 4 goals and he's 22 years old. It's hardly the recoerd of a journeyman striker in L1 or 2. He might get to L2 level in a few years when he's in his prime. He got too big for his boots too early and ended up throwing his career away. He will have made a few bob on his current contract but I doubt it will be renewed. Leicester sent him to Rotherham expecting him to kick on, the fact his next loan was a league below speaks volumes. It's a shame, he had so much goodwill while he was here,fans were desperate for him to succedd but 2 wasted years looks to have ruined him. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just George and Sally who think that? FDB came very close and we came close again from a few corners. So on the flip side a classic 1-0 away win could have happened. But Hirst is speaking to Pompey fans so will suggest they should have won, 4-0 was an exageration though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise on another day we could have got a 1-0 away win. You are over analysing it because it’s George Hirst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 We were under the cosh for much of the first half but by the end of it we looked as likely as them to score. In the second half I think we had the best of it until the sending off. I think we might have nicked if Luongo had stayed on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tactical Bacon Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 People really need to let go of the memories of Hirst. He wasn't good enough, the chairman stood up to him and he was proven very correct. Its a bit tragic seeing these threads started up in the weak hope it might cause division amonst the fanbase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
