Virgo v Stockdale

[tigertim68]

The two Fulham fans I know were gutted when he left. They loved him and wish they had kept him.

So do i

 

[Sheebo]

Indeed I do. Numerous aways and homes his saves turned the game. Compound this with a lack of goals and BINGO.

He's made waaaay too any errors that have cost us goals and points. Hasn't been close to filling Kusch's boots for me and has had a very poor season in terms of keeper errors. Of course just my opinion and he has also made some crucial saves but too many mistakes for me. I think he'll do better next year but also think spending a million on him and letting Kusch go for nothing was shocking business

Regarding Virgo, it was shortly after the Bournemouth game when he said Kayal going off didn't influence the outcome, it was at that point I realised he doesn't have a clue

I am unaware of the facts surrounding PIG, but have heard the usual tittle-tattle. Overall they are similar in many respects with iffy kicking, but if we're getting down to nitty-gritty, wouldn't things have been different if PIG hadn't dropped his clanger v Brum?

Team Stockers all the way, we don't need our pundits on the local radio laying into a side already devoid of confidence, very poor.

 

[Stat Brother]

To me Virgo comes across as a bitter 'know it all' when commenting.
A posher Geoff Boycott.

There's saying how you see it and there's wilfully sticking the boot in for the sake of it.
The hatchet job he did on Jones' abilities as a manager was utterly shameless.

For that and many other reasons I'm Team Stockdale, and I haven't even read the thread.

Sorry mate the only games he turned were through his mistakes , and he has made loads , the bloke is a clown and probably the worse keeper I have seen in an Albion shirt he really is a crap keeper

 

[Farehamseagull]

Cringe.

I can understand Virgo spouting off to a degree as he's now in the media and paid to give opinions, right or wrong as he is in this case.

But I don't understand why current players go on Twitter. They're just asking for trouble and although he seems a nice guy when interviewed, Stockdale's (who I do rate as a keeper) bleating on there is really annoying.

 

[Justice]

Stockdale has made around ten blunders. No hiding from them to be honest.

He'll come good next year and be our player of season.

Its not like the strikers are helping him out much, if we won 2-1more often the goal keeping slip ups would hardly be mentioned.

Nonsense. That's exactly what a mediocre team like this one needs: pointing out that they're not as good as they think they are, not sycophancy. Stockfail seems a bit of a stroppy nob doing this tbh.

Let's agree to disagree, and thankfully for BHA there seems to be a few that are as misguided as myself.

So we didn't benefit from Stickdale saving a penalty against Birmingham at 1-1, or a point blank save at HT against Derby when it was0-0?

 

[Mackenzie]

He's made some great saves and big blunders this season, his early season form in terms of goals to shots saved was terrible, I guess that's why he's with us and not a bigger team.

Virgo is opinionated and this Twitter spat is unedifying.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

In anyone with eyes opinion yes...

Not mine. I think you're wrong.

 

[Gazwag]

Exactly my view. And he started having a row with the 'We are Brighton' account the other day from another tweet that they sent in the game - and didn't tag him in. He needs to give Twitter a break. And the goal at Wigan was his fault no matter what the lickers in there tell him...

Twitter trolls (like I played for celtic you know Virgo) and We are Brighton should think before posting as well, especially those who are paid for their opinion. About time SCR had a reshuffle as well.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Neither come out smelling of roses, but it is hardly a monumental battle. It will soon be forgotten.

#TeamVirgo by the way. The fellow Woodard gent let me buy him a drink knce.

Oh great 2 saves , do you want me to list all his mistakes that have cost goals and points . By the way he is meant to be a keeper LOL and make the odd save , and in Stockdale case it is the odd save

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Really? How come? He flapped it into the goal after Halford got done too easy no? How you can call my view rubbish is beyond me?

It was a deflection from Stephens which distorted the flight of the ball.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

.....do you want me to list all his mistakes that have cost points?

Yes please.

I don't disagree and the mistakes were listed in another thread

Having said that, Stockdale does seem extremely sensitive to criticism, especially where he has clearly been at fault.
