    As i stated in the post I am NOT criticising/slating either of the 2 aforementioned players, but people slate Gomez for things that other players are more guilty of!

    Also I wasn’t attempting to take any ‘moral highground’.. Just voicing my opinion.

    I’m sorry but even if you put “Not slating these players, but” at the start of a sentence, if you then go on to say “they don’t even look forwards” then you are criticising them. How could it not be?? It’s like when someone says “I’m not taking the pish, but..” & then proceeds to take the pish

    I get your general point but people have opinions just like you. You like Gomez & think he’s a good player, some other people don’t. Those who booed Gomez in the 1st half on Saturday were merely exercising their right to voice their opinions on him just like you have about McCarthy & McArthur (albeit on a different forum)

    For what it’s worth i did used to boo players & heckle them during the match but have long since realised how counter productive that can be as well as making you look an absolute plum when said player goes & bags a hat-trick or is announced over the tannoy as the man of the match after you’ve just spent the previous 80+ minutes slating him, loudly (as happened to me when I did it to Greenall in the league game v City back in 1998 at Springfield Park).

      Fair point.

      In all honesty I like McCarthy and McArthur and see no need to critisice them, and it was not my intention for it to come across that way. I was only making the point that Gomez was being slated for not looking forwards, when he clearly does, and other players that don’t get slated do the exact thing that Gomez was being incorrectly slated for.

      People are fully entitled to their opinions, but as you stated before, it is counterproductive to do so in the way of boo-ing.

      Because if you pay your money,you’re entitled to boo ( not that its right,i never have )

      Entitled, but not right? Make your mind up.

      Oh, and I think what you meant to say is he is backwards, negative and shite in your opinion. Don’t use the word “we” and “us” when you mean “me”[/quote]

      I was using the royal we, youre right. In my opinion he will never be a premier league player.
      Fair play to him finally doing himself justice. I dont think it will be the start of anything to cheer about.
      Hope you dont mind me having an opinion . ;)

        Some players will always cause strong disagreements between fans.Personally I think Gomez is a decent player but sometimes needs more time on the ball than he is allowed in this league.Once he settled down last Saturday he was our best player.Wednesday will be a little bit more difficult though I imagine, so let’s reserve judgement until then eh? :)

        I remember standing on the popular side at Springfield Park in the very early 80’s watching 2 blokes nearly come to blows over the merits of Jeff Wright as a footballer.

        Like Gomez,Wright had a decent touch and tried things that didn’t always come off,but like Gomez as he didn’t run 20 yards to tackle someone or chop them off at the knees, the majority didn’t like him.

        This one bloke was really ripping into Wright,the other told him to shut up and it kicked off.As he was dragged off by his mates the first bloke was screaming “You’re a Wright lover” into the other guys face as though he should have been taken behind the main stand and shot for thinking Wright was a decent footballer.

        I always thought Purdie and Corrigan were the weak links in that side – but that’a a different argument !! B)

        We’ve always been the same in this country. Bryan Robson vs Glenn Hoddle being a prime example. Captain Marvel – yeah right!!!

          Whatever lad, how annoying are you?

          The point of an opinion is that it will be disagreed with and lead to a debate. If it didn’t, there would be no point having these forums.
          Some of you lot seem to think that if someone disagrees with you that is is them stopping you having an opnion. You should try arguing your case a bit better rather than just childishly slagging people off.

          And what’s with stupid smiley face? Yet again, grow up.
