Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 17:41:20
....OK I know he's a bit of a tosser, but he was generally a decent player for us, during some difficult seasons.......I think it important that he at least gets some sort of welcome even if its polite....rather than a load of abuse.

 Maybe some time away may have made him a little older and wiser and playing for a manager, who appreciates him might help his performance.

  BTW when I say performance, I mean in a strictly footballing sense.

A normal 'new player' welcome with some of this:

He'll get polite applause from me til his first 75 yard effort on goal :soapy tit wank:

Reg is right, thinking back he was a decent player for us at times. much better than when he left.

As long as he keeps his mouth shut, and doesn't insist on being in charge of all set pieces I'll give him a polite welcome - he has to realise that he is a new addition now though and not an established regular, in other words he has to behave himself while he's at the club.

Gurney was a gobby thug,
Though long ago he was no mug,
But sadly learned to play  "away",
And lost his brain for a very good lay.

I'l clap him, couldnt care if he did Hewletts bird doggy, lets be honest Jenkins is our best right back at the club and he's injured every other week so this is the best alternative option.

Ill give Gurns respect. Gave us some good memories, Goal against Leeds was superb. Ran to celebrate at the other end of the pitch.
Might give a few others a kick up the ass.
Also he doesn't boot the ball up the pitch like Ifil, Smith, Collins, O Hanlon and others.

His passes usually went somewhere though and for a defender he does have a good goal scoring record for town.

HE WAS THE ONE THAT FUCKING STARTED IT!!!!!!!

The cunt thought he was David Beckham for about two years, spraying the ball all across the pitch and finding the stands most of the fucking time.

I won't give him any reception to match my apathetic feeling about his signing.

Didnt Gurney score 9 golas in our play-off year?.

year before wasnt it, he was 2nd top scorer after parkin i seem to remember!!!

Yep and if he can chip in again then im sure everybody wouldnt be moaning then.

I'd be happier if he scored none and stuck to his defensive responsibilities :old:  :wink:

Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, August 26, 2005, 08:07:14
What the fuck? Have we just signed Gurney or something??

I don't understand, it sounds like that's what you lot are talking about?

Tell me it isn't so... PLEASE!


Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: Titch on Friday, August 26, 2005, 08:10:14
Yes Barry, looks like we have signed him til Xmas.

I agree with you Reg.  I never minded Gurney and he would often pop up with some valuable goals.  I am fairly pleased he is back and he can definately do a job for us i am sure.

I think we should definately give him a good reception as we would for any new player.  After all what does anyone gain if we give abuse?


Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, August 26, 2005, 08:13:29
We got him on loan then?

To be fair to the bloke, he will be a valuable member of the team, i'm just concerned by the fact he used to like getting carded.


Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: McLovin on Friday, August 26, 2005, 08:13:54
I don't think anyone will abuse him.  I just don't think he'll get as big a reception as a normal new signing.


Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: Bennett on Friday, August 26, 2005, 10:54:47
i think it's a good signing. he shouts on the pitch, and will make people scared to run at us, which is something we could have done for ages! i don't think he'll set the world alight but getting in a different type of player can only be good, instead of the middle of the road namby pamby swines we seem to get.

optimistic about this one!

i also can't see any reason to give him a bit o stick, i just can't believe we got rid of him and not the worst player EVER for town (i despise hewlett and will hunt him down in torquay just to bitchslap him)


Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: walrus on Friday, August 26, 2005, 11:22:05
I love him.  I'll scream "I want your babies" and cheer every time he touches the ball.  Considering he was second top scorer one year, I think you lot are being a touch harsh.  He was a class act for the club, but had a couple of flaws to his game - but then most of the worthless cunts playing for the club do!


Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: Spud on Friday, August 26, 2005, 13:41:40
Gurney is a battler which is just what we need at the moment, if he cuts out the Beckham-esque 40 yrd passes to nobody and needless bookings then he'll be a good signing.


Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: normy on Friday, August 26, 2005, 15:18:12
Which Gurney will come out of the tunnel?

One of our best players a few seasons ago, or the liability he was before he left?

Hope King has got this one right.    :old:


Title: Reception for Gurney....
Post by: Luci on Friday, August 26, 2005, 20:32:48
I personally think that a bad reception is pointless.  If a player gets a good reception, it gives them encouragement and confidence and increases their likelihood of performing well.  If you get off to the wrong foot so to speak it isn't going to do the team any favours.

If I was here not on holiday I for one would be applauding him and I would suggest that other Swindon fans should do the same.

Post by: DiV on Friday, August 26, 2005, 20:37:00
Yep, Lady what you said is true, but the thought and logic behind it didnt stop idiots getting on David Dukes back.....away at Tranmere all the fans cheered his every touch and he was a different player.

I'm clap him, I'll be nice to him....no doubt at least 72 times in the match he will frustrate me with a 'Beckham pass' or something.

"away at Tranmere all the fans"

Booing players of the team you support isn't called being a fan!  The idiots that do it are mainly pikeys and go to one or two games a season!

Mr Negative needs to be a Mr Positive me thinks!

Anyway, off up old town for a few more beverages!!!!

I booed Duke :oops: I felt totally ashamed afterwards mind.

I've never booed a player although I have hurled abuse at players, Ifil for example.

It'd surprise me if Gurney gets any sort of reception to be honest.
