littlelunchbox Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 wtf, people are going way over the top with the slagging of this lad, yeh we know he's completely s*** after he crosses the halfway line but put that aside, speaking purely on defensive skills, he really isn't bad at all. put it this way, defensively he is the most solid fullback (left and right) we got in the entire squad, i know that may be a shock to some, but it's a fact , not that it's saying much given how s*** the rest of our fullbacks are. Your views on Santon are hardly well balanced. So I'll take your less over the top views on someone who is vastly inferior imo with a pinch of salt. Theres no sugar coating it with simpson. 'Limited' is the nice way people are putting it these days I believe. you obviously only like to pick and choose what you read. When 'limited' is subjective. to say simpson is limited when it comes to playing around the opposition's box,yes. but is just as good as saying santon is limited at defending. i have no problems with santon , just want the lad to be playing in his best position which is a winger. Never accedited 'limited' to you btw. Having read some of your views on Santon as a defender in comparison your views of simpson (attacking aside) I still can't agree. He's as flawed as Santon arguably is. so you don't even recognize that simpson is at least decent at defending? then i have nothing else to say to you.

Darth Crooks Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 He's no centre back but I have more confidence in him than Simpson on the ball. The fact we have ended up splitting hairs about players who should arguably be filling backup positions is testament to how much of a travesty not going all out for defensive impovements in Jan. We have one truly competent defender fit in our squad and amognst dross a series of young lads who have talent but have massive levels of expectation and pressure thrust upon them when called upon.

durhamunigeordie Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Prefer Perch to Simpson. There is this myth that Simpson has a good attitude. He should try concentrating less on pumping his fists in the fans direction and more on actually being a footballer. He clearly thinks he is a much better footballer than he actually is and refuses to make learn from his mistakes and develop his game. Then he wonders why he gets criticised and gets all defensive about it, referring to those fans who criticise him as not being 'real fans'. Well guess what Danny, it costs £100+ to make a trip to London to watch a match. If you will take a shit throw in and then lie down on the floor with cramp, which then leads to us losing the match in the 95th minute, then you are going to be criticised. I have no idea what people actually were writing to him as I don't use twitter and there was almost certainly some uncalled for personal abuse in there, but as a premier league footballer you should know what you are getting yourself in for. There are plenty of morons out there. It's no good crying just because of a few insults - that isn't how life works. In summary - Simpson is my least favourite current NUFC player by a distance (overtaking Raylor) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Twitter really can bring the arsehole out of people. It's brought footballers and celebrities closer to the public than ever before and frankly, many can't handle it. Sending abuse to your own players? Dear me. Criticism is one thing but abuse is just out of order. Hopefully those responsible are ashamed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Simpson deserves the abuse for no other reason than he him abusing fellow professionals via the same medium earlier in the season.

JH Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Don't agree with abusing him, but certainly don't like his "Thanks to the true fans" comments that have come around everytime he gets criticised for poor performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Seriously, some of the Simpson hate on here is way over the top. Like any other player, he deserves praise for when he does well and criticism when he does bad. Unfortunately, Danny seems to have had more bad days than good this season. Yes, he's a limited player and he has made some silly and costly errors this season (and so some criticism does rightly come his way) but come on, over the top abuse isn't the way to get your point across.

captainhaircut Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Simpson abuses other pros = Simpson deserves to be abused by own fans (who I assume want the team to do well...) Yeah, fans will always abuse players. That's the way it is. Professionals should never criticise other players in a public forum. Maybe he'll think twice now before he opens his rent a quote mouth. On another note, I'm not a fan of criticising players. However, we would never have finished 4th if the fans hadn't started to abuse Barton after the Troyes game.
