Anyone remember our resident non-league expert gassing about him whilst saying that Mansell, Sinclair and Taylor were s**t signing and there were better players in the Southern Premier?
Yeh he was playing for Chester yesterday, anyone notice him?

A bit of an unnecessary dig at someone who used to contribute a lot (and only had the good of the club at heart) and now, due to negative people like you, no longer feels its worth it.

Not sure that observation is entirely fair, The tone of the person in question was often critical of the club for not listening to his recommendations, often people on here jumped on his comments to also criticise the management team etc. I think if you are going to give out a bit of criticism you have to be able to take it as well.

To be fair, you couldn't fault his enthusiam, he was prolific with recommendations, but most of what he did seemed to involve watching YouTube and posting links to players scoring goals. When pressed for names of youngsters that none of us would have heard of the best he could come up with was listing lads who had represented England at youth level. |

Personally feel he had too high an opinion of himself and didn't see anyone else as being right including our Manager. Be fair if you recommend as many players as he recommended you were bound to get some right. The problem with using U Tube is that you could soon come up with a case for Paul Tait being a fantastic player if you put together clips of his best moments and the same could be said of most players both amatuer and Professional.
You also have to remember that the club has to put money behind any recommendations and for every Charlie Austin there are 50 donkeys in terms of making it to a higher level.

I'm marking this to fall because I don't think it is fair to initiate discussion about an ex-forum member. This is not a constructive thread - it has just been made to take a potshot at somebody in their absence. That's not on.

And is it really a cheap shot at the `experts` who continued to slag off Darrel Clarke and Bristol Rovers at any opportunity? The OP asked the question about one of Wes star recommendations that's all. Why look at it any differently? If it was himself or Padstow they would be on here crowing loudly how ineffective/what another poor signing this brilliant recommendation was.

Yes I am because there is never any need to take personal shots at individual posters no matter what they argue and that's doubly the case if they're not currently active on the forum. Just upholding the basic rule of playing the ball and not the man. This thread has no other purpose than to target criticism at a specific poster who no longer contributes and that's just not on. Subsequent replies by people on the thread seem to support this; just people taking shots at a person in their absence and nothing to do with any general points. This thread has nothing constructive to contribute, it is just a pointless personal attack on someone who hasn't posted here for 6 months. If someone wanted to argue that a particular player they'd recommended was poor/excellent then I see no problem with that because it's not targeting another poster (and there's nothing to stop anyone disagreeing with them on equal terms) especially one that is not here to answer back; that's the bit which is not acceptable it has nothing to do with the subject matter. Someone wants to argue that Darryl Clarke gets too much criticism - fine go ahead, make that general point or engage with someone you think is doing that. But starting a thread that aims to launch a barrage of criticism against an individual poster is not constructive and it's not on. |

I disagree and think you are making this out to be much more than it is. But there you go. |
