McNamee has said 'he likes playing in front of good atmospheres'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/8387105.stm

Is he trying to say you cant get that at the CG?

what I think he is trying to say is

I like 'playing' for more money.

To be fair he has a point. The CG atmosphere is terrible most of the time. In saying that when we played up at Norwich they had the numbers in terms of support but at times you could still hear a pin drop. They sing the same song as well but do it with 10 minute intervals between which they are totally quiet.

Macca's first interview with the Norwich media,i'd expect him say all of the positives.

Sheehan when he spoke to the press last friday,was much the same.Neither player

slagged off STFC or Leeds Utd respectively.


We could dwell on Macca for evermore,time we moved on and concentrated on the present

and the future.

And we best not forget 2 other things.....

1. He wanted to go.

2. He wasnt that good, and certainly not consitantly good.

He will go the same way as most who think they are leaving for bigger thing's,and will end up a squad player on the bench and then fade into obscurity when they sign a better player who can last 90 mins and put in a decent cross more often than not.

He looked good at times but anybody would look good against some of the wingers we have had recently.

I wish him well and hope he improves enough to become a hit more than a miss.

Unless its against us when he can be as much miss as possible (if he ever plays)

So why not battle for a place at Watford...not join Swindon...total bollox.

"Knowing that a big club is after you, the size of Norwich, is going to take your mind off your daily job, but it's done now so I'm happy.

This is the bit i find more annoying.

Fuck him.

He didn't perform consistently for us, so why wish him luck?

He wanted to go, he's gone. Why wish him luck?

I hope he is as frustrating for norwich as he was for us.

He's going to end being a black Grant Smith. :D

Nah, Grant Smith actually did the business for us

proves my point really that he didnt care, and his attitude was shit in the other thread. He didn't care about his team mates. He can Fuck off as far as I am concerned. Good Riddance don't need people like him on the team.

He's now severed all ties with the club, so won't be coming back.

He will have to if we dont release him January just to piss him off.

I like the cut of your gib Dell

Of course come january Norwich may not want to keep him...

Which would leave him rather up shit creek after that.

This is a possibility...

only in the last 6 months of his contract then expected to be top dog. Glad he fucked off.

also this from MacCunt says it all

Bit like us with Revell then  - he's going to love going back to Southend

Do you honestly think we won't keep him?

I wouldn't, but I'd be surprised if he goes back.

I think Revell might well go back.  The goals he has scored for us have been good ones, but there haven't been enough.

Crucially, we're on the fringes of the play off places.  That gives DW much more leverage with Mr Fitton than had we been, say, 14th, to argue for a significant investment in the squad in January.  As things stand, I doubt that Revell will be seen as the man who will fire us in to the play offs.  So unless he has a blinding December - and let's face it, he's not even making the starting XI right now - I think he will go, freeing up some of the wage bill for someone else.

I can't even see Revell coming off the bench tonight.  Hoping he'll start Paynter & Austin then bring Danny Ward on for last 20 mins. 

Ward is a big strong player & holds the ball up well so he can do more & probably better than Revell does now

That wasnt all his fault though.

Andy King didnt play him, and when he did he played him mainly at left back and sometimes at left midfield.

Away at Bradford in January Hewlett and Turbo both went off injured in the first half an hour and King stumbled across putting Grant Smith in central midfield, he scored twice, we won 2-1 and the rest as they say is history.

Still a cunt but only performing for 6 months wasnt his fault.

Agreed if Revell was that good that Wilson would not have felt the need to get Ward in from Bolton for a month wth a view to the rest of the season, I'd be shocked if he stayed here.

Haha

Footballer having ambition and wanting to play at a bigger club. What a cunt! How dare he.

Grow up

there are ways to go and conduct yourself if it's ambition you've got. Coxy did it and is welcome back anytime. McCunt is a little shit who sulks cos he's not getting his own way so plays crap.
Coxy was being scouted long before his move yet still banged in his goals yet McCunt just struts around the place blatantly not wanting to be here. good riddance

Interesting that Lee Holmes has started a grand total of 11 games for Southampton since moving there summer 2008.

Probably won't ever happen, but I'd have him back.

:)

You won't find many calling Cox a cunt DMR.

I'm rather apethetic about his comments. We're doing well and he doesn't want to be here, so I'd rather he left.

He's only trying to get in the fans good books, in a way this is good for us because he's more likely to stay there than be dead weight earning money here.

Not sure he got on with Wilson really.

I think this proves what a lot of people realised a long time ago, that his heart wasnt really in it at Swindon.

Fact is our home atmosphere was reasonably decent up until the players started to show a complete lack of desire under Malpas.

mcnamee clearly has a poor attitude, and poor ability - why do we want a bit part powder puff one trick wonder, but can only put in 1 decent cross a game player? reminds me of aaron 'im too good for league two' brown - norwich will realise, and he'll be out on his ear come next season. good riddance.

Spot on.

I do wonder if the club would offer a season ticket discount if a pre-arranged group of people could occupy a block in the town end, with the aim of creating some atmosphere? I'm not talking a group of 5, but a group of 50.

The Town End is the only stand which is ever going to make some noise unfortunately, but with the atmosphere so flat, people will sooner take a decent view over it.

Wilson has slowly transformed the attitude of the side since he came in.

Some players like McNamee and Brez have fallen by the wayside. Others like JPM and Amankwaah have really got on with it.

We didnt play well on saturday. But when we scored we did look like we had a team that was playing and winning for each other.

Now i may only have seen us 4 time this season, and only sober for 2 of them, but when i saw him he looked no different to normal. He was our best player by far against gillingham, set up hutchinsons goal against brentford with a fantastic pass. People's expectations were raised by his purple patch he had when he signed for us, but that was never going to last. He's a league one player for a reason. It's just now people have an excuse for those poor performances

He looked no different to normal because he's always been a bit poor but a crowd favourite.

Did he start for Norwich last night ?

To answer my own question  :D He started on the bench and didn't get on the pitch

Funny how everyone was begging him to stay and saying how he was pretty much the second coming of god, and slagged me off last week when I said he had a poor attitude etc towards Swindon etc. then when this finally came out and I was proved right everyone says, Oh he was shit anyway, good riddance...

I still think we'll miss him but DW is ace and knows what he's doing (except with strikers).

You should change your Facebook status to "Smug", Gaz

:D

I'd rate him an above average player overall. People say he's a luxury player and bemoan his lack of physical presence and defending which I don't think anyone can disagree with. However, I don't think we've played to his strengths more often often than not which hasn't renderred him entirely effective. Has he been shit? He has been below par this season but certainly not shit last season, one of our better performers. Was he too good for us? - absolutely not. But if his heart wasn't in it (for one reason or another) what's the point of him staying?

Did I notice a shift in attitude recently? Probably. It doesn't help when your manager publicly states he thinks the way you play is a bit shit. Lots of people moaned at Kingy for that. I agreed with Wilson's sentiments however and to balance my thoughts a bit more, Wilson's public ambitions/affections/honesty has made us better overall.

Amankwaah's had patches of shitness and Lescinel has had a difficult learning period. Paynter missed some sitters too. I suppose this is all down to bad attitude. (Before the Charlie Austin Facebook Society get wind off this, I'm being ironic).

Whilst I was impressed with the way Cox conducted his interviews in the summer, I'm fairly sure he made the usual cliches to the press in West Brom. The only difference with McNamee is that he hasn't stated his time at Swindon has been the best experience. It's quite funny how a lot of people are getting worked up about a player leaving (who they don't rate). Oh and comparing him to Grant Smith is rediculous, he's not really done anything that cuntish.

Will I read this back and realise it's probably quite annoying how I've listed a few questions and responded to them along the way? Definitely.

I think he is a good player

I think we won't miss him

He'll probably go down in STFC history a bit like Ifil, potential, never fully delivered, the expected gaping whole they leave ends up being a pin prick when you consider how the team changed and more than covered their loss.

Hes calling you cunts and I think hes probably right,lets be honest the County Ground scores pretty low in atmosphere. Swindon home fans are probably amongst the most moany and passionless group in the Country.

Funny you saying that, with regard to Macca, when he came off the bench the atmosphere always seem to rise with hope and voice. God it is going to be quieter in the future.

The CG hasn't always been quiet though Yeovil has it, I blame the younger generation!

Didn't you sponsor Malpas's kit last season Gazza ?

The crowd passion has definatly gone down hill since the CG became all seater.

when was the last proper decent game of football at the county groound?the football is pretty poor quality,and that's why the atmosphere is the same.not alot to get excited and sing about is there?

yes I have sponsored a player (Lee P with L&P, Blair Sturrock, Maurice, Danny Wilson, Alex Henshall) for a while.

Well you say that but he has bought in Charlie Austin who looks to be a gem and who knows, Danny Ward could turn out to be very good.

Probably Soton back in August...

Cant speak for anyone else but I thought the Huddersfied game was a good'un.

Agreed. That's the sort of game I would like to see most weeks TBH.

But to be fair, Soton were a shambles, which kind of helped our cause...

I was thinking more in terms of atmosphere and the fact we were on top for a majority of the game  :)

Speak for yourself...and dont call me a cunt...its easy to be pasionless when your watching pasionless players like him...

I think Yeovil calling people passionless cunts is fantastically ironic. It made me smile :)

Agreed. If it wasn't for the conditions it would have been even better. Enjoyed the Southampton game as well. I think Arriba has been watching too much Arsenal on the box.

what does arsenal have to do with how shit the football is here?

Was I?
I said thats what he was saying...

Its true to say ive lost any passion I had for Swindon football though.:)

everything

the football isnt shite here but it is to you because you compare it to Arsenal.

Anyway, we're winning so who gives a fuck?

Aren't you an Arsenal fan like Fatbury?

arriba is fatbury.

when have i compared it to arsenal?
and i dont give a fuck either.the thread went into a debate about atmosphere so i said what i did.
for entertainment value, the football at the county ground is generally poor fayre.

Its been good this season.
