Gary Hart

[steward 433]

Butters, in my opinion, was one of the best cente backs we've had in this team for years, certainly positionally and I would have been perfectly happy to have him in the side next season. Gary Hart, since his injury, has not been the same. He has little pace and cannot play on the wing or up front and he wasn't a good at right back as everyone seems to think. I personally feel that he wouldn't add anything moreto the squad that a younger member of the squad could.

Plus he's more accustomed nowadays to coming off the bench and getting himself sent off.

The sending off incident is not important (by the way i was right beside that and if i was Gary i would have kicked 7 bales of shit out of him)

Gary has improved his pace over the last few months, Made 1 scored 1 the other day.

I (and obviously Micky) think that he can do a job and i would be happy to see him in the squad.

We have got the makings of the best team since Zamora was here. I can see us needing to rotate a bit due to the three cups and fully expect a trip to Wembley in the JPT this season.

We need a depth in the squad that includes experience

 

[crasher]

what if we progress in all 3 cups?

Nurse! Mr Steward's pills please.

 

[steward 433]

Nurse! Mr Steward's pills please.

Full of optomism then?

Have you had a bet at 10/1 for us to be relegated?

Oh right, who was that against then?

What was his goal like? tap in?

He is a professional footballer and should know better than normal punters about how to conduct himself on a football pitch. Lost a lot of respect for Harty with that incident.

Woah! Be fair, we've only played lower clubs.

Judge him after the Ipswich game, I reckon.

Does it matter who it was against?

If he wasn't that good he wouldn't have put in a pinpoint cross or been in the right position to score :thud:

 

[crasher]

relax will you..

It was meant to be a light-hearted comment reflecting the many dozens of times over the years I've seen us knocked out of cups by teams even worse than us.


No need to give me the hand gesture.

Not having a particularly good day so sorry for the hand gesture

I actually believe we might surprise a few in the 3 cups this year

95% of footballers have done it at some point in their career

 

[CHAPPERS]

:

Of course it does.

Anyway, we're not going to agree. I don't think we should sign him and you do.

I'm right, you're wrong. Let's leave it at that.

No problem. Hope you're right about a cup run

No they haven't. I've probably seen that sort of reaction from a player 3 times in the 150 odd games ive seen live - anyway at 31 years of age he should be expecting to get verbals from opposition players, could forgive him if he was 19/20.

 

[steward 433]

Like i said it's Mickys decision not ours and he knows him better and sees him in training everyday

So Dean Cox at Lewes wasn't similar then

 

[BigGully]

It was. Then he got removed, and ultimately resigned, and so that issue has almost certainly gone away.

Misrepresentation, totally.

You are trying to say that Wilkins himself was unprofessional.

That isnt true, he was trying to instill a level of professionalism within the club that hadnt been seen for some time.

It rattled a few cages, from the top to the bottom and it felt uneasy to some.

The cosy 'contractual clauses' that were given to some older players were addressed as was the clearout at the end of the season.

I would guess Wilkins had a vision for the club and the club would need to change.

Unfortuantely it wasnt ready, so we got back to the good ole days with asking released players to return with the offer of a possible contract.

The issue with Hart is who is making the decision to sign him.

Adams or Knight ??

As I said before I can accept a rush of blood to the head when you're 19/20 years of age and not been playing the game for long. Hart is 31 and should know better.

Cox to be fair isn't the best of charactor reference for well behaved professionals either!

Its a passionate game.

Harts sending off was indiscipline, no doubt and didnt help the team.

It was an unprofessional incident but that doesnt make Hart himself unprofessional.

 

[El Presidente]

That isnt true, he was trying to instill a level of professionalism within the club that hadnt been seen for some time.

He was hardly seen on the training ground for the last few months of his tenure, which is neither professional nor wielding a big stick.

Not at all, just saying I expect better from a player of his experience and usual professionalism. Can see why Wilkins wasn't too keen on him after that.
