ozzrahog Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I am truly saddend by the news but (and I am going to be shot down here) but I recall not being teh only person who was happy when fat fred let him go after a bad season start. I think bobby deserves all the praise he is getting and he is a big loss, a fine and decent man, but lets not rewrite history thru rose tinted lenses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Really want to come up and pay my respects. Going to try and do it sometime tomorrow but it's not looking likely. If I can't make it, I'll definitely head up on the day of his funeral, whenever that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Walnuts Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 In a city that never fails to take the chance to take the piss out of me for any derogatory Newcastle events,I have been touched,and a tad surprised,if I'm being honest,by the amount of Coventry folk,who've made the effort to shake my hand,and recite a Sir Bobby moment to me...it's all good. had a peak at the SMB messageboard, expecting the worse - but fair play they were very respectful with a lot of them pretty gutted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphisto Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I know what people mean when they say they feel sad about Sir Bobby, but for me I just have a cheesy smile when I think about him! Great bloke on every level! RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Top level football is screaming out for a personality like Bobby again. There are just too many boring, wooden Managers out there. Not quite sure where the next one is going to come from though. A rare breed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 http://www.sport.es/ Dunno how to show only the video? But anyway, watch the video at the top of the page. Bobby with the glasses and then the goal. Love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Held it together most of the day but been watching bits on Youtube and am not ashamed for a moment to say that tears have been flowing freely. Also SSN has had a similar effect with its montages. Before today I couldn't ever imagine in a million years going somewhere to lay flowers for a bloke I've never met, it seems so preposterous. I consider myself a sensible, intelligent bloke. But despite this the Mrs and I are off to St James' Park tomorrow for just that reason. I just feel I have to be there. Might take a shirt along with me too, I'll see what I've got. Legend is an overused word, but for Sir Bobby it's not nearly enough. We haven't just lost a great manager, we've lost a great man. Rest in peace, you've earned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Robson with just two of his proteges. http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/06_03/robsonMOS0107_468x316.jpg outside of football, but one of the most important things he's ever done is raise over a million quid for cancer research while terminally ill. what a hero.

EthiGeordie Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 RIP Sir Our own plight is directly assosite with him we never recover from his unjust sacking.

chicago_shearer Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Top level football is screaming out for a personality like Bobby again. There are just too many boring, wooden Managers out there. Not quite sure where the next one is going to come from though. A rare breed I don't think it's surprising that one of the few managers to emerge in the last decade with any personality, style and success was Mourinho. A man that owes everything in his career to Sir Bobby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filflop1 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 The bloke was a legend and deserves all the praise that will ever come his way such a nice guy to !!!

Guest Stephen927 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 "There is a law in football that you should put off your mobile phone in the dressing room, but his phone was ringing.

fredbob Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Absolutely devastated, cant say anymore than that. "Legend" is such a cliched over used word in football and in general but i can honestly say i cant think of too many people to whom the word would be more apt than it would be to Sir Bobby Robson. Have genuine affection for the man, was a giant amongst men and an incredibely brave person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
