Guest Roger Kint Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The lengths some people will go to, to defend these clowns running our club is truly unbelievable, seeing stuff that isn't there, making stuff up or ignoring it How ironic....... You mean like Alanis Morisette's song ironic, that contained no irony? Feel free to give me an example of what you think is ironic and I can kill two birds with one stone, ready when you are. Not surprisingly you are confused. Maybe some proof of these 'people' you refer to would have been a start as i have seen nobody setting out to defend the two wankers running this club. I see some people mature enough to understand the difference between acknowledging a rare correct decision and defending them but surely you arent stupid enough to think they are one and the same? Its also ironic that this thread has people blindly agreeing with Bartons bullshit as its a chance to shit on the aforementioned clowns.

quayside Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 This whole defence of Barton based on him being on some sort of "becoming a better person" mission doesn't wash with me. I have always thought he was a good footballer, and some of the twitter stiff was at first quite funny. But as a character, if you look at his track record, the very best you could say about him is that he's an attention seeeking, psychotic egomaniac. He had his ego bruised here and can't stand it. As for Llambias every time he makes some public pronouncement it seems to me to be oozing with cynicism and venom. I can't believe that isn't a true reflection of his character. I think he and Barton are both pretty reprehensible tbh although at least Barton is good at his job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of some idiot misreading this i think Llambias didnt do too much wrong in saying what he did. Barton was begging for a reaction and no doubt some on here would have slagged him for keeping quiet too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah, agree as well. Let's not forget that "becoming a better person" for Joey mean stopping assaulting people and getting imprisoned. He isn't suddenly the authority on good behaviour because he's keeping himself out of prison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Colocho So no irony and no example, glad we sorted that out. I do believe Barton as it goes, but that's not really the point, the point is he did an interview and he answered questions put to him, isn't that what we want them to do when they're interviewed? Or should we all completely change our opinion on this matter like we did Barton and start wishing they all give cliched answers that give nothing away like Michael Owen? If I think people are boring or I'm not interested in what they have to say, I don't follow them on twitter or discuss every word they say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Llambias maybe didn't say too much wrong. But neither did Barton tbh (his views on suicide on the day of Gary's death aside), I cannot really see why people have to valliantly defend one or the other (which is happening whether yous are meaning it or not). If he'd have tweeted this stuff a day after the stadium was renamed we'd all be lapping it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 So it's not possible to think that both Barton and Llambias are cunts? Because that's where I stand. I think they're both egotistical, sly, manipulators of the truth with track records for being cunts and that's probably the reason they have clashed to the point that even now both sides refuse to just shut the fuck up and give it a rest.

ponsaelius Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Worth noting that I used to be in the 'Barton is an interesting character who's changed his ways' camp, but he's proven to be a complete knacker since leaving and looking at him without black and white specs on he really is a bit of a wanker.

Guest Eric Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 So it's not possible to think that both Barton and Llambias are c***s? Because that's where I stand. I think they're both egotistical, sly, manipulators of the truth with track records for being c***s and that's probably the reason they have clashed to the point that even now both sides refuse to just shut the f*** up and give it a rest. Of course it is as long as you're not precious enough to think things are about you when they're not? I don't think I've even noticed you're thoughts apart from saying my opinion was shit and cheerleading on a post that was fundamentally flawed? I want footballers to be open and honest when being interviewed, I hate the trite, cliched, lip service that is usually paid when they're conducted. I also think Llambias' response was appalling, not getting into a war of words by getting into a war of words, using Gary Speed to curry favour, making false threats of legal action and mentioning Sports Direct as though he works for them. Is this the kind of gutter response I want from the MD of my football team? No it isn't. It doesn't matter what you think of them as people, it's what they've said and done that's important, just like Joey Barton's opinions on suicide the other day, why did he even need to comment? Any criticism on that particular statement is justified, there was no need, he knew no facts and people were obviously upset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 It would have been wiser for Llambias to say nothing, but what he said was right. At this particular time, it's a disgrace that we have a former player publicly complaining about not getting his bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
