Away Day Gadgie Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (while this has all definitely been blown out of proportion) Whatever people say about Ritchie and wanting to upgrade with Townsend, you absolutely can't underestimate his influence off the pitch. He's a radge bastard and will not accept a scrap less than 100% from anyone, even holding his captain to account when needed. This. Ritchie is a good player and an absolutely huge character for us.

Kanj Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hope is desperate for this to be a bigger issue. It’s quite annoying and I’d be angry too. It’s not what anybody needs if we’re simply talking about getting results on the pitch. Hope should use some of his investigative journalist skills and go after the shit head who owns the club.

Kaizero Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Ritchie POTY nailed on then. "There are fears that outside influences could be attempting to manufacture a move for a player they do not want to sell and who remains popular with supporters." Good thing articles like this pop up to turn fans against Lascelles then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I can’t help but think this non story is something KBA is more than happy to see as it diverts from the real agenda. If they had a bust up in training it’s likely that Ritchie left a late foot in and Lascelles lost his cool and was about to pull his head off before Shelvey stepped in as peace maker (again) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I’m with Hope on this tbh. Ryder just swallows whatever the club feed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I thought he was back to his worst from earlier last season. Lots of huff and puff and shouting and screaming at others, but poor on the ball and guilty as anyone for things going wrong. He gave it away so many times in the second half I lost count. Bottled a few challenges in the air too. It’s all good and well chasing lost causes and trying to cajole team-mates, but when you have Yedlin in space 10 yards ahead of you and you play a ball meant for him to a red shirt sorry, but that’s shite. He wasn’t alone in that regard mind, more so the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Ritchie is never great and he certainly wasn't today. He obviously cares but that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Most, if not all were poor in the second half, however Ritchie had the most quality of any of our players in the first half and made some clever passes/crosses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest covmag Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Ritchie is never great and he certainly wasn't today. He obviously cares but that's it. i always feel better when he's in the team, like Shelvey, to me that makes him a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Man, I didn't realise so many people didn't rate Matt Ritchie. I like him, he not be world class, but he's what we need. Has a bit of quality, tries hard, seems to give a shit, and I've seen bollock players around him for not helping him press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey jake Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 We need this guy to have as good as if not better season than last. Atsu, Murphy and Kenedy are not upto it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Man, I didn't realise so many people didn't rate Matt Ritchie. I like him, he not be world class, but he's what we need. Has a bit of quality, tries hard, seems to give a shit, and I've seen bollock players around him for not helping him press. That sums it up for me. He'll never be my favourite player, nor will I ever expect to see him do something amazing with the ball, but I want him to be playing most games this season. The leadership he brings is crucial, as well as setting the expectations and tactical discipline so high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 In the second half on Saturday when Perez number came up for him to be subbed for Muto Richie just walked off and sat down on the bench, is that even allowed by the rules of the game? Perez stayed on obviously but, even the announcer didn't correct the substitution after he has said Perez replaced by Muto..... Kind of odd.... Guess he was just knackered and felt it was better if he stepped out of the game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 4th official just puts up what Muto tells him. Maybe a language issue? Ritchie and Perez seemed to know and Rafa didnt stop it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
