Guest thenorthumbrian Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I think it is terrible. It looks like it was knocked up at the last minute with much care, the Jackie Milburn sculpture seems to capture the essence of Wor Jackie and Sir Bobby deserves better. The Cynic in me wonders if this is a distraction from the current owners over the renaming of St James' Park. Ipswich got it right. http://www.bbc.co.uk/suffolk/content/images/2005/11/18/bobby_robson_statue_sherman_300_225x300.gif Contrast and compare http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content/StaticFile/thirdparty/jpg/2012/May/Week1/16223012_300x225.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Great that some people love it, but while not quite the disaster I feared from Tom Maley, the end result still makes me disappointed and a little angry... Leaving aside the likeness (and fair play, Tom did a great job on Bobbys bust inside th stadium), what the hell is going on will his hands and pockets ffs.

Disco Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Forgot about that bust of his napper in the foyer. Even more reason to have a statue of someone else or at least put it in the garden with the rest of his stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Not going to keep laying into the sculptor but it pisses me off that his lack of technical nouse or eye is so sodding blatent, and we're going to be reminded of it everytime we pass by the ground. To echo The Northumbrian, Sir Bobby deserved so much better, and that is why this feels like such a kick in the nads despite it's being such a wonderful gesture.

Cajun Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 What are some going on about Hands in pockets? Reminds me of Bobby tbh, quite chilled out/casual/relaxed. As for the work I think it's brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's a statue ffs, it's impossible to be a complete replica of the subject. Looks fine IMO, everyone knows who it is. Take a look at that Southampton one if you want to see a shite statue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 They both look great IMO, they're just different interpretations.

Dr Venkman Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 If the bloke that does Wallace and Gromit did a Bobby Robson film it would look like the statue. imagine if it was just one bloke 'Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of Mackematics, released Summer 2034' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
