Evan's old man in the Adver...

[DMR]

... bleating on about people criticising his perfect son.

Anyone else think it's a bit self-righteous, fundamentally we pay his wages, and he's been inept at times too, he rates himself and he's stringing the club along a bit- surely his old fella should just accept that such an attitude is going to attract negativity.

Isn't that right, Santini?  

[Piemonte]

As per my this is response:

Dave - your Evans hated is bordering on the ridiculous now.

He's one of our better players and you really need to accept that. (player of the season anyone?)

Blackpool made him an offer, so he went up there for a look about. I dont see the issue, hes hardly being tapped up is he?

I'm surprised his old fella didnt just come out and say "he's a bit of a cunt actually, that Rhys" :-))(

[DMR]

Hatred? I don't hate the bloke, I think he's arguably our most overrated player in the squad, living off a laboured u21 record who said he's have had a decision for the board 2 weeks ago.

Why's he still here but not contracted?

[Piemonte]

Bollocks. You slate him at any given opportunity, and have done for about 2 years. (although fair play for sticking to your guns in spite of the overwhelming evidence that you are wrong)

If Evans is overrated I shudder to think what the majority of our squad would be classified as.

Whys he still here but not contracted?  I'd guess hes waiting to see if a better club than Blackpool offer him a deal. My gut feeling is he wont go to blackpool.

For what its worth I rate him based on his performances in an STFC shirt, got fuck all to do with 2 U21 caps 4 years ago.

People who know the bloke personally say he is a good lad Dave. You are making trouble.

[DMR]

Shot-stopping. Catching. Commanding area/defence. Kicking.

Of those 4 key areas for a GK, Evans has one- of which he's top drawer. He's been first pick in a side that's been gloriously relegated, he's clearly not that good.

Of course he's entitled to get himself a better offer. My gripes are; are Blackpool really that much bigger club than us? 4000 in a half built stadium at the foot of the table? No, they're not. So presumably he's moving for money, in which case I'd say about any player "fuck him."

He also stated he'd have given his decision one way or the other weeks ago to allow the club to decide who needs bringing in- along with Sean, whose also messing us about.

If he's pulled the wool over your eyes because of good saves to counter numerous errors, then fine.

I don't know him personally though but I'm entitled to my opinion? I'm not looking to cause trouble matey, I don't like the man and I don't rate him as a player.

[Piemonte]

"I dont hate him"

"I dont know him personally........ but I dont like him"

[Bogus Dave]

blackpool are a little bit bigger than us

[DMR]

I don't like you either, but I don't hate you  

[Spencer_White]

blackpool are a little bit bigger than us

fuck off.

[Piemonte]

Dont be horrible to Swindontowndave

[Spencer_White]

Il be horrible to anyone who thinks Blackpool are bigger than us.

Stanley Mathews is ancient history. They are crap. When did they ever bring more than 300 to us? Not in the last 15 years. Remmember 96 when we rammed that bank and had loads in the home end?

(I love ya really STDave  :gay: )

[Bogus Dave]

awwwwww luv u 2 babe  

the main reason i said they are bigger than us is because they are a league above us now. they also have a better history, and a lot more money.

No, Blackpool are not really a bigger club than us, although obviously they are in a higher division. With thier recent latvian investment they will be selling themselves as  "a club with ambition" and a club going places" It seems reasonable to assume they will be investing in quite a few new players over the summer.

Of the areas you've highlighted only his kicking lets him down in my view and is the least important anyway.

As for getting relegated, you could put any keeper from league 1 (i'd go as far as including the championship) behind our defence (well, mainly Ifill actually)and we'd have still gone down.
