parajack Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 2 hours ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Not that I recall, no. From what I remember, he said he was disappointed with Forestieri. If he wanted to protect Rhodes, he could have just said that he wasn't one of the five planned penalty takers, or that he chose who was going to take them The fact that he didn't, suggests that what he said was fairly open and honest to me. I'm not sure why we're still discussing this five years after the event, to be honest? Nothing anyone's said has changed my opinion that for all Rhodes' faults during his time here, letting his manager know that he wasn't feeling confident about taking a penalty was the right thing to do in the circumstances. We can keep going round and round in circles, but I really don't see the point. We (including you) are still talking about it because a thread was started and we are interested enough to want to post A number of poor decisions,transfers, and poor player displays have left us in Div3 it’s perfectly normal to discuss it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, I didn't view it that way at the time, and nor do I now. For whatever reason, he wasn't feeling confident. Rather than keep quiet about that, he let his manager know, so that five more confident players could go ahead of him. I don't have a problem with that; it was in the best interests of the team. There were all sorts of issues around Rhodes' performances during his time here which might be criticised, and we could spend all day going into the whys and wherefores behind his lack of confidence, but that decision in that moment was fair enough as far as I'm concerned. You seem to think that people are just being vindictive. But our current situation is also down to players like Rhodes and Reach. Not giving a sod about our descent down the league to LAST place. That tends to stick in the throat a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even heard someone(i wont name him) on Radio Sheffield defend the player who 'high fived' another after our opposition scored.... No wonder TP wanted out.... Not just a matter of a difference of opinion, the happy clapping at times is ridiculous Not sure exactly what you are suggesting here. Seems like you are saying fans should boycott games if the team isn't doing well. Am I reading that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely says he feels it's like "coming home" - which I imagine it probably does feel like given the time he had there the first time - but I think is a bit different to suggesting it's "his club" and he therefore wouldn't put effort in against them, to the detriment of his current employers. Also, all his goals against Huddersfield for other teams (including a hat-trick for Blackburn) would also probably kill that idea off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, given the kind of player he is and has been, and given what I've observed of him during his career, including his time with us. Some fans will look to that one moment in the Play-offs, leap to totally unfounded conclusions, and then stay angry about it for years and years to come. Can't really do anything about that, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
