Hullfox Posted 16 December 2005 Share Posted 16 December 2005 Sometimes a benefit of the doubt is required especially when dealing with children. It also occasionally beneficial for people to see what lies beneath peoples' perceived persona. Not sure I understand the second bit Davie but personally I don't think there's any doubt to give benefit to in this instance. That's just my view though but I admire your tolerance.

That's just my view though but I admire your tolerance. The second bit was to do with true colours being shown, certainly no pun intended there, hopefully allowing people to make their own judgement e.g if it had been deleted you wouldn't have seen it and therefore would have less knowledge. As it is you are free to make you're own judgement which you did, others may wish to follow your example. I guess my comment about benefit and doubt was perhaps a bit flippant in the circumstances.

whothefoxthat Posted 16 December 2005 Share Posted 16 December 2005 Nice one Lush, if ever you thought about getting back onto 'General Chat' you've done your chances the world of good with that little insight! Hi I'm a new un on here, been reading through the posts, some very good stuff , then I get to this post, which is fine, until the "Spear chucker" remark, bit childish, and narrow minded, I know folk are allowed their own opinions, however the only place for this is the bin I believe. Is the person who posted this going to back themselves up with a reason why they feel this way or are we to put up with this ? Really sorry this is my first post, 'd much rather be talking about our players playing ! Oh, and for the record, I think Sylla isn't as bad as people are making out.

When he wants, he can be quite good indeed but unfortunately I don't think he wants to often enough. He's got the ability, has he got the motivation to do his best? I don't think so. No-one is challenging him for his place at the moment. He's guaranteed a starting place week in week out. Even if he has a terrible game he knows he'll be playing again next match. He's in a massive comfort zone here at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he isn't the most talented of wingers himself I think he will make Sylla raise his game a good few % just knowing there is another senior right winger after his place. If that happens, it'll be worth our while bringing him in because a motivated Sylla will be like a new signing even if the Griffiths bloke isn't a world beater himself.

Jimmy Posted 16 December 2005 Share Posted 16 December 2005 When was the last time the european championships were held during our season He should honour his contract like a man. If he goes we should fine him all the wages he could earn whilst fleeing our sinking ship, and when he comes back, if he aint up to scratch, we dont pay him untill he is. you do realise fifa can ban him from playing for us for the duration of the tornament, if ginuea insist he goes and he doesn't "retire" from international football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Sylla, he's frustrating, a bit like Williams. Has a lot of ability, but his application and effort let him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 17 December 2005 Share Posted 17 December 2005 Regardless of how good Sylla is at the present time playing in a City shirt, doesn't every player have the right to play for his country if selected? Why is it different because the competition is an African one? No doubt all this has bben discussed within the club at the time of his signing and allowances have been made should he decide to play for his country.

Oh please, stop being so wishy-washy, Lush's comments about Sylla 'throwing spears' was racially abusive. End of story.

TrickyTrev Posted 17 December 2005 Share Posted 17 December 2005 Dont worry mate, we have joel, you go off and have a nice time throwing spears whilst we pay your wages Twat.

Hullfox Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 Sylla can stay in Africa, he is not wanted or needed by the club. I think that you'll find that he is wanted by the club. Needed is however open to debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 Well he has been banned! I hadn't realised that when I made my comments as I didn't see anything about any action being taken. Good to see you guys tackling this kind of behaviour in an appropriate manner. Back on topic... I think we'll miss Sylla if he goes, but, I think he should be allowed to go and represent his country without having to face any criticism from City supporters. It's part and parcel of modern day football and we should be proud that so many of our players are called up for international duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationwider Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 I think he should go if he wants. There's not much the club can do about it anyway, and you can't argue with a player wanting to represent his country. He's only one player, and arguably, he's been fairly ineffective at times. It sounds like this Aussie trialist may be signed as a replacement. If not, Hammond, Hughes or another signing will most probably fill the gap. I don't think Smith would be moved to the right wing as some are suggesting. There will probably be certain conditions laid down by the Arse, such as that he always starts when fit, he doesn't start if less than 95% fit and that we don't fanny about playing him out of position.

Jimmy Posted 18 December 2005 Share Posted 18 December 2005 a winger should be able to play on either flank, also the arse reserves have played him on the right so i doubt they'll mind too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
