There you go, there's your "legend" for you. "I was becoming stale" " i hope there was intrest for me and thankfully there was" bit of a change to (at the end of Chesterfield) "i'm not out there looking for a transfer if i'm still i'm at Swindon next season im more than happy to turn up"

If no-one came in for him he would have turned up for pre-season etc and still played his heart out for us, no doubt bagging 20+ goals again. |

Come on let's be serious he didn't alwways play it his heart out at all. He was very lazy in the first two seasons and wasn't that much better this year with his work rate.
Mooney and Fallon both have fantastic work rates Roberts grit is good as well. Parkin didnt' have that and he'll have to start working hard if he wants to go anywhere with Ipswich

I don't agree with that at all, what more could he have done?

i agree with what some of Swindon_away, is saying he was quite a lazy player compared to Roberts and Fallon, i'm not saying he wasn't a good player, but no quite the legend everyone makes him out to be.

Lazy compared to Fallon?!?!?!  I really have heard it all now. I think it must be fashionable to dislike Parkin or something. If you actually read the article, Parkin is only the third ever player to score 20 goals+ for three consecutive seasons - that qualifies him as an invaluable and very good player for the club. I don't care if he spent half his time eating cornish pasties and enjoying Swindon's vibrant nightlife, the fact remains he was bloody prolific. Get a grip people! |

if you watched him sometimes, im not saying all the time, but he waited for the ball to come straight to him, rather than fallon who if he loses the ball in the air nearly always tries to win it back again.
i don't dislike parkin at all i thought he was a good player, but some people love him too easily, he was invaluable but i think we can move on without him now and do well this season.

They play a very different game of football, so it's a touch unfair to compare them in that sense. Last season there was not one Swindon player who convinced me all of the time that he was truly committed - at one time they all appeared disinterested. I'm not a fan of the people who bum Parkin, but I'm not one to talk... He was a great player, but his name is eclipsed by Cureton. I really have got a hard-on by that signing. |

He worked his bollocks off most games, there was a brief period last season where he lost that spark and did look lazy, but that coincided with his only truly barren spelland it was also whilst he was being played on his own up front which he openly admitted to not enjoying in the slightest. Despite that he still scored 20+ goals, Fallon and Roberts didn't even come close to that if you add their totals together! |

Bloody hell i'm only airing my own opinion in that i thought he was a very lazy player and i'm doubt i'm the only one. How comes i get abuse like twat and moron yet one someone else suggests the same as i that get a well reasoned and mature response?

Don't worry swindon away, I agree with you on most of your points. I'm not in the Parkin bumming brigade either.
Yes he is a good player but he is not a god. He's gone now and people need to get over it.
