Had to turn off MOTD after watching the Citeh match for a few seconds. It felt so, so wrong to see him in a citeh shirt. Gutted.

the best keeper we've ever had, a man who has kept his trap shut when all around were mouthing off and a great servant of the club

 

but HTT thinks he can "f*** off"

 

and you ask me what is wrong with football and NUFC today...............

I am in no doubt that Given is the best goalkeeper we've ever had (that I've seen), but to be fair, he hasn't always kept his trap shut through out his time with us.

I recognise all that, but he can still f*** off.

 

I'm taking a hardline stance where players are concerned now. Don't want to play for my club? Then f*** off, go, good riddance. Doesn't matter who they are and what they have done here or why they want out.  When you decide you want out of my club, you're a deserter in my eyes now. Especially in the manner in which Shay left. If things were so bad for him here he should have handed in a transfer request the day he stopped wanting to be here. But it appears the small matter of a loyalty bonus was just as important and for that he can f*** off. I hope his career goes down hill and he fails spectacularly at Man City. I'd piss myself laughing if they spent huge money on Buffon and he ended up as number 2. Fingers crossed. Me, bitter? Damn right!

Not bothered in the slightest, he didn't want to be here any longer so can fuck off.

 

Ditto. He's been worshipped on Tyneside for years, but now he's just another prick playing for Man City. He wasn't forced out he got his agent to put the feelers out like plenty of other ingrates have done in the past. Good luck Shay and yes..please do fuck off.

I'm as interested in Given as I am Bellamy, Dyer, N'Zogbia, Parker, etc. I.e. Not at all interested. They aren't our players anymore so who cares?

 

Shay's a great keeper, but there's no need to go overboard for a few stops from Alves that were straight at him.

If Boro are depending on Alves for goals, they are going down.

I agree with that. The hype Given was getting was ridiculous. All 4 of Alves' shots were directly at Given. If he'd aimed at a corner of the goal he'd have scored.

Great keeper, great servant, but he has not kept his trap shut. He's had his bad moments like any player.

 

Pretty much what I was getting at  :thup:

Exactly Stevie Harper has had great games too - and will have more to come.

Not the loss he thinks he is, Shay.

Great keeper, great servant and a Newcastle legend.

 

But he didn't want to be here anymore.  He checked out after the Liverpool defeat, and you just can't afford to keep him around.  Survival is too important.  Same goes for Zoggy, and any other player that isn't up for it.  He had to go and for that reason I don't feel particularly bad about it.  It is one thing to sell your best players for money - it is entirely different to sell them when they simply don't want to play for you anymore.

Can I ask what's your opinion of Keegan?

KK was forced out, Given wasn't. Shay tried to hang around despite wanting out in order to get a bonus, KK when he wanted out, he went there and then. Not that the two are comparable.

Rubbish.  KK didn't agree with the direction the club was taking so he walked (twice!).....the same as Given.

 

Shay tried to hang around despite wanting out in order to get a bonus

 

Eh?

 

KK when he wanted out, he went there and then

 

Rubbish, again. Dissagreements between KK and the board were going on before the day he resigned. This is proven by his speeding offence reports that came out the other day.

 

Not that the two are comparable

 

:lol:

If Given could have walked like KK with no contract problems he would have. Both as bad as each other.

 

Rats and a sinking ship.

 

y

 

:lol:

 

f***ing hell.

 

 

ou couldn't make it up could you?

 

HTT & TT presumably think players should sign on for life with one club.............  it used to be called slavery  :shifty: :shifty:

No, but when a player deserts us he should expect grief.

 

The grief equation:

 

Club situation x player ability - transfer fee = Grief

 

Relegation battle (+ winter window) x European class keeper - shitty measly transfer fee = SERIOUS AMOUNTS OF FUKING GRIEF!!!!
