Coxy wants to put himself in the shop window..

[JPC82]

cant believe Coxy is doing to us what Ronaldo did to Utd, what a cunt!!

[Reg Smeeton]

  Sounds to me like he's hoping to notch a few between now and Jan, and hope to fuck off. Which suggests to me he'll be playing for himself not the team and certainly not the fans...in which case he can fuck off sooner rather than later.

[Simon Pieman]

But Lumps, what's the point in him saying this to the adver? Only Swindon fans are going to read it. How demoralising is it when one of your star players is going on about leaving after this season?

I expect him to have ambition, I don't expect us to hold onto him for long, but fans will struggle to support a bunch of players who just come out and say we are a stepping stone.

[Dazzza]

I like the young miscreant's openness and egotistical attitude.

When he arrived he ruffled a few feathers when he said he’d be banging on the gaffer’s door if he wasn’t in the first team and I don’t see an issue with being open and stating your desire to play at a higher level one day.

As long as his head doesn’t drop or he starts angling at the first sniff of a dogs bottom that calls around then he can talk all the shit in the world.

[Lumps]

Do you go to matches?  

Of what fucking relevance is that?

I thought you were above that sort of level of argument Reg.

Presumably that means Bangcock isn't entitled to an opinion on this either, or any of the other overseas fans thet post on here.

The answer for what it's worth is fucking rarely. Sometimes if there's a match on when I'm down visiting family I'll go. But I get to Swindon rarely and I have to admit that recently when I am there I've been prioritising spending what time I have there with my Mum rather than fucking off to football.

If I still lived in town I'd have a ST and go each home game. If I lived a bit closer I'd be able to give up an afternoon every few weeks to go to the saturday home games I expect. But with a round trip of over 350 miles to get to the CG it would take a day out of my weekend. During the week I work away a lot and work long fucking hours whether I'm away or not. My other half does the same. We're lucky if we see each other for a couple of hours each evening.

So no I don't spend one of the two days a week in which I might get to spend some time with her going to football.

Sorry for having a relationship and a life, I know that marks me out as a bit "odd" in the fraternity that is the TEF.

Obviously those of you that are "married to the club" have far more of a right to comment on the moral conduct of a young man that you've never met, based on a 5 sentence interview on the back pages of a local rag.

Fucking hell Reg how old are you? Did growing up never seem like an attractive option to you?

lumps u have no right to a opinion, u part timer

Chill out Lumpy, ffs.  It's not worth getting all stressed out about it fella.

"What's the point in the Adver asking the question" is more relevant. They've asked him, he's answered. What do you want him to say? The same old non commital bollocks that they're all trained to trot out at Prem clubs that anyone can read between the lines of.

What did Reg's hero Sam always used to say in the same circumstances?

"I've always wanted to test myself at the highest possible level..blah blah blah.... hopefully I can go as far as possible with Swindon ...bollocks waffle.... but I'll just get my head down and score goals and see what opportunities  arise."

Pretty much what Cox has said couched in spin.

Look back at the threads from the start of the season and there are several posts that suggest we'll be lucky to keep Cox beyond this season unless we get up IF he keeps scoring. All he's said is what we ALL already knew.

Why are you all so fucking upset at seeing in print something that you knew already?

[JPC82]

why are u so angry today lumpy?

[Lumps]

lumps u have no right to a opinion, u part timer

I'm not sure I even qualify as a part timer. I'm more casual labour on a zero hours contract, or maybe and office temp.

[Bushey Boy]

Im turning to liking Lumps, I say fair play to Cox for being honest!

[Simon Pieman]

Bitey bite bit.

[Lumps]

why are u so angry today lumpy?

I started by just being amazed at the adolescent reactions of fans who have been around long enough to know better. (Seriously if you can't handle having players who's long term ambitions are beyond your club then go support Man United or you're going to be outraged all the bloody time and it'll get wearing.)

Then Reg decided to slip in his little comment and I bit and gave him the reaction he wanted.

And I've spent the last four days puking and shitting as a result of a nasty stomach virus so I'm a little tetchy.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Yeah this is great. Of course Cox wants to play at a higher level. No doubt Macca, Jerel and Brez do as well but they didn't harp on about it. If Coxy tries and gives it his all i have no problem but if this is the start of him becoming the next Cureton then i will be dissapointed to say the least.

yeah but perhaps someone from the adver havent said "you're a young player, do you think you've got what it takes to test yourself at the highest level".

if they did you'd probably find them 'harping on about it' a bit more.

Cox seems like a bit of a stupid cunt generally, no wonder he didn't quite get the answer to his question quite right in the eyes of the fans.

i've given up caring about our players tbh.
