Keefaz Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I actually like him. Seems a nice lad, doesn't go out on the piss, works hard. Just is absolutely hopeless on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 That was me being on the KIND side of he fence. I know you've seen him play, and i know you're not f****** daft. You know i'm right, on this occasion. I know you're right, I was taking the piss. You might hate him more than Wullie does. I don't hate him either. I just think he's a country mile short of being a Premiership or even a Championship footballer and I resent the fact that he plays for NUFC. I don't believe he gives 100% either but that's another matter. Duff on the other hand... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Just shut the f*** up and leave, you c***.. I don't think he's a "c***". Just a crap footballer. Gives his all, tries his best etc, but his best simply isn't anywhere near good enough. For me it's not that he doesn't score goals, it's that he doesn't even look like scoring a goal. He never has a shot, never gets in the box, and never sets anyone else up for a shot either. Aye. The people slating Smith to such an extent are f****** embarrassing, although I do appreciate that emotions are running high at the moment. He's been very poor, yes, but by all accounts he's an honest lad and he always seems to give 100%. There are people at this club who have been very poor for more than three quarters of a season, and who most certainly haven't given 100% to this football club in their time. There are quite a few in the current squad who I'd reserve that sort of bile for ahead of Smith, to be honest, but he's become an easy scapegoat. Allright, cunt may have been a bit of an overstatement. What I don't like about his present situation is that he doesn't put his hands up and say he's not been good enough. In that interview that prompted my agressive reply he says he would play in goal for us, and everybody sees what he contributes to the team (supposedly good things).. In the same interview he also says he is most critical on himself and takes things that other people say with a pinch of salt. Doesn't sound to me like he's overly critical of himself and I can think of 52000 people who are more critical of him.. It's this attitude that the managers seem to appreciate in him and for which he gets rewarded with an automatic first team slot. Well, it's clearly detrimental to the club he claims to love so much (oh, come on, I mean, can somebody pass me a bucket), and for me if we go down it will be in large parts due to mr Alan Smith and the bewildering bewitchment he seems to have over our managers.. He may be the nicest man alive in private, but I can't feel much sympathy for somebody who claims to have our best interest at heart yet somehow does the exact opposite whenever he pulls on our shirt.

Guest Edd Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Smith might be shit be he's not the one writing his name on the team sheet every week. Surely that's where questions need to be asked and anger directed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been very poor, yes, Oh really ? One game he didn't play - against Stoke - we won comfortably. Surely even you can add 2 and 2 together and not come up with 17 and three quarters ? ...but by all accounts he's an honest lad and he always seems to give 100%. I have a mate who is as honest as the day is long, will give his all and run through brick walls for whoever he plays for - but he's an absolute disaster as a footballer. As is Smith. He's an utter Jonah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 He's been awful this season but I didn't expect any better from him, he was just a poor signing from the day he put pen to paper and lacked any of the qualities we should have been looking for in a player back in the Summer. Fat Sam is to blame for that of course but it doesn't mean people shouldn't feel resentment seeing a player of his ability level getting picked every week.

Guest birdhunter Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Smith isn't the blame for playing each week. Which player would say "hey coach I'm shit pick someone else"?.. KK should realize that the pressure on the guy is increasing each week. He should give him a rest or use him as a substitue. This will help the team and Smith... just amazing to see that managers don't realize this. As for Smith's current performance: terribly poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I wonder if Smith is getting picked because he runs around a lot? He is definitely shit no doubt, but in a relegation battle you need all your players to run non-stop. I don't think many of our team do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm positive Smith wont be picked for the next game. The only chance of that happening is if KK drops Owen to play Smith and Oba up front because their is no chance of SMith playing in midfield after Saturday.

Wullie Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 No team ever stayed up by running round a lot. Give me Viduka with a pair of lead boots on ahead of Smith anyday and twice on Sundays. I realise Vids is crocked but there are at least four players who should be playing up front ahead of him. I'd even pick Zamblera before him, at least there is some chance he may resemble a footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a defence of Smith, more an indictment of the rest. It's the only reason I can see for him getting picked week in week out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 A certain type on here seems to be the No 1 fan of Smith - you his dad, "Janitor" ? 100% effort means absolutely sweet FA if it isnt accompanied by a modicum of ability, or actually having a positive as opposed to negative effect on the teams performance How many chances does he get FFS ?? Smith doesn't even come up to zero on that. He's been an absolute disaster (I hate to say I told you so - but I TOLD YOU SO) More of a hindrance than a help, and I'd class Butt only fractionally ahead of him.
