One player is not bigger then the club. Nicky Forster is completely in the wrong, and I actually think Gus Poyet has handled this situation well. Like somebody said earlier, get a grip man!

perfect strikeforce if you ask me my love as long as you can bring on Pierre van Hoijdonk and Robinho at half time.

Reverting to being antagonistic, well done, without these young supporters where will the club be in years to come? I really do not like people like you, why should your opinion matter more than mine or anyone else's just because you have supported us for longer?

I'll reply to your childish attempt at an insulting post, with a brilliant post made by another user in this thread.
Take a bow, son.
Fair point i wasnt saying you weren't entitled to yours by the way
you put across a good arguement for Forster being left out however i also agree to an extent with people on the other side of the fence of which im sitting on.
That's because you're respectful and don't over value your own importance.
The thing is, I agree that Forster deserves to atleast speak to Poyet about his future. He's an experienced player who has a family to support, I can understand his concern at his future being up in the air after his contract expires in the summer. I can understand why he would want to talk about his future, and get it sorted out as quickly as he can. Like anyone else, he doesn't want the uncertainty. And I'm sure El-Abd getting a new contract already has made him think it's only fair for him to enquire about getting a new one aswell.
The thing is, we don't know what exactly happened between Forster and Poyet. It's a difficult subject to talk about because we know so little about what actually happened. But all we do know is that Poyet felt it neccessary to drop him from the squad for Leyton Orient, and probably for tomorrow night aswell. Which to me suggests that he doesn't think Forster's mind is on the team right now, and if that is true than he shouldn't be in it. We have plenty of strikers to come into the side. And if Forster does indeed leave the club short term and then permanently in the summer, though it will be a shame, he'll just be another player who got too big for their boots at our club who then left. He'll be history here, but we will go on. It'll be a loss to the team, naturally, because he's a good player. But we're a bigger club than any one player, and I'm not fussed about the individuals. I'll support the club whoever plays, and I would have expected others to say the same thing. Clearly, I support the club in a different way to a lot of others, which, naturally, deserves criticism and name calling...

Yet further proof you know nothing about me in the slightest, so don't pretend that you do.22. Just a pup, only been supporting the club 13 years. I know f*** all about the history, the team, football in general and certainly have never been to an away game. Apparently.

I'm a twat and you can call me one if you like, I'm not offended easily either
It does not matter whether you actually are a twat, only if you are younger than the person offending you. Maybe, if you were at Hereford and are slightly younger than me I may, that is may, downgrade your insult to twit.

i would have preferred twit to twat
Sorry mate but 22 is too young. Thems the rules, I don't make 'em, only enforce 'em.
As you say NO player is bigger than the club! We don't know the full story but it appears that Forster went public about his contract issues instead of going to the right people. If that's the case then I'm surprised as I've considered him a model pro...Being honest I've felt recently that he has played crap and is constantly offside. I pressume it's because of his loss of pace and if a manager/club wants to consider giving a 36 year old a huge contract I think that is wise. I also think that Nicky is looking after his own interests and wants to get to the front of the queue cue before a glut of players at the end of the season to get a new club now or atleast get the ball rolling. So I guess I see it from both side, but should have been handled much better.
