FTAO Christian Roberts

[DV]

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

what a fucking joke. a supposed striker by his natural position has a clear view of goal but decides to run it across the box rather than shoot  :-))(

[Red81]

[Spud]

Agreed, why didn't that cunt shoot?  :evil:

[Amir]

I thought he'd been fouled myself, although it was a long way away.  Should have shot before that anyhow.

[DV]

even if it was a foul the ref wouldnt have given it...so pro-rovers is was sickening

[Bogus Dave]

Aye teh ref was fukking appaling. such a homer its un-true, and then making zaboob put the flag back on the corner flag :?

as for the roberts incident looked like a great tackle from where i was stood.

[chalkies_shorts]

I was stood in the Rovers end right in line with Roberts run - it was a good tackle. Actually it was a bloody easy tackle to make as he's overrran the ball and should have shot earlier. He was shit all game and reacted quite badly to the Shithead chants. The Rovers fans got to him and he wanted to show them - not very teamlike is it. He wanted to walk the ball into the net and stick two fingers up to them.
Peacock ,althuogh shit today, just looked up and smiled at them.
The referee wasn't that bad and got most decisions right.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

you sat in the home end?  :shock:

[my-velocity]

He was shite yesterday, cocky twat. We need to get rid of him, sign Corr to replace him. The club did him a huge favour keeping him on after his Alcoholism and this is how he repays the club, playing shite week in week out.

Rich - I stood in the home end near the Bass Stand. I was one of the idiots that when we sold out the seats wanted to see the game and thought I'd go in the home end. They then put extra tickets on sale - doh!. It wasn't a choice thing I just wanted to see the game.  There were a few of us - all very quiet.
On the positive side it meant I got back to my car immediately and was sat with a can of cider indoors before 6.
Roberts was getting a lot of stick and it certainly got to him. Instead of playing for Swindon he was playing against Rovers and wanted to show them individually what he could do.  Basically, the bloody idiot bought it.

[Simon Pieman]

I didn't notice the rest of our fans getting on Zaaboub's back and he was by far shitter than Roberts.

I thought Roberts played ok. Not good, not too shit (compared to the rest of the team) but ok. He was one of our few players that actually looked like he wanted to do something yesterday. It's little wonder he doesn't shoot when most of the fans were having a go at him for shooting too early, earlier on this season. People have criticised Roberts for not trying, but I thought yesterday he workes hard and he even ran back to make tackles.

People just wanted a person to blame for our poor performance and Roberts is the easy target.

[DV]

but if he shoots instead of taking on another 3 men, we score, we draw and get promoted

[Simon Pieman]

Provided the ball is on target  

Roberts had his faults yesterday, but at least he looked like he wanted something from the game. Unlike most of the other players.

We needed to keep the ball on the floor more and the problem was furthered by the fact we had nobody able to get the ball down and hold it up for any decent length of time. I blame the players who hoofed the ball constantly more than Roberts.

[DV]

I expect a professional football to be able to score from 6 yards out
