[Archived] Keith Andrews - Rovers Newest Signing

[Billy Castell]

Probably not, as he likes to show himself up all the time. Funny, as I'm sure Vinjay got banned for less. Some rules for some................

what rules have i broken

[Billy Castell]

What did Vinjay do to get himself banned? Yet he has been barred, and you are here.

I guess you're repetitive crap about Sam does link in with the thread's topics, and thus you avoid a ban. And you are a long established figure and part of the in-crowd who will never get banned.

pathetic,julie gets slated and i point out saint lardarse picks him,now whats wrong with that

[Billy Castell]

It is the constant sniping, name calling and generally childish behaviour just because you have a pathological hatred of the manager. We could win 10-0 against Sunderland on Saturday and you'd be there playing the same record calling him lard arse and wishing Rovers relegation just to prove your point. You come across as such a petty little man with all your posts since December. The only pathetic thing is the fact you can never, ever support the team just because of one employee, and you probably have a burning desire to see Rovers relegated just to prove a point.

could say the same about you and ince,or julie,whose fault was the citehs first goal again

[S15]

The irony of you suggesting someone else ''get over it'' will probably go straight over your head.

Yes my mistake. Grainy 'Goals' vid.

Keith Andrews rewarded with new contract.

[stuwilky]

Didnt Rovers report a new contract back in July?

And wasnt it a four year deal?

[Ninjathunder]

I thought that too, but I've read it elsewhere he's got a 3 year contract.

[broadsword]

He's been given two contracts!

For God's sakes, utter madness!

[LeftWinger]

It's a cunning plan. We gave him a 4 year deal in July, a 3 year deal in September, we're going to offer him a 2 year contract in November, convince him to sign a one year deal in January and then release him in March. The sort of thing only Baldrick could come up.

[broadsword]

Just so long as they run concurrently and not consecutively.

10 years of Keith ... I can't contemplate it.

[Al]

Relax. It's just another piece of lazy journalism on a quiet day. If you read the text it is referring to the new contract signed in July.

Archie Andrews (just as wooden) has not had another pay rise.

our keith plays again for ireland and strides towards a world cup place,humble pie for some

[Jonnolad]

Even if ROI won the world cup and Keith scored the winning goal, the usual moaners would still come out with any excuse rather than admit he's a half decent player.

The truth of the matter for some people is it's just not possible to see Keith in anything other than a negative light - for them it really is literally not possible. All they are looking for is any negative aspect of his play which then backs up their already formed negative opinion, and absolutely nothing will change that. It must presumably be inexplicable to them when they read the papers the next day and every single time the journalist hasn't agreed with their dire assessment - usually even rating him higher than some of our other players. Let alone the host of other things that have been gone through before ad infinitum; Sam playing him, making him captain, giving him a new contract, turning down Fulham's offer, international starts, etc etc. These things must really peck their heads because it conflicts so massively with their own assessment of the player.

Normal thinking of course would dictate a re-evaluation, but if you are completely entrenched in your view, and generally have an "I know best" attitude anyway regardless of contrary evidence, then nothing that happens or anyone says will change that. Their thinking is they are right because they "know football"; presumably because they watch an odd game every couple of weeks (it clearly doesn't take much to "know football" eh)!

The fact is every player does multiple things wrong every single game - if you were so inclined and had already made your mind up about a player, then you could easily watch any player in any game and then list his miss passes etc as justification of your predetermined negative assessment - it obviously doesn't mean you'd be correct though.

People that actually do know football, at the very least because it's their full time occupation, clearly do rate Andrews (I'm guessing that must drive those with entrenched negative opinions absolutely nuts) - it's up to the detractors to explain this huge anomaly with their own opinion, unfortunately and unsurprisingly though they never seem to be able to.

Jonnolad, was that post really necessary? There was hardly a debate going on, just Waggy fishing and the odd person taking the bait.

You just make yourself look mental sometimes.

Edit: Actually, that was the other thread. Waggy's post was the first one here in four days and it prompted you to write that!

Well obviously, yes. There's a whole raft of new points there and it's a very concise argument.

Let's be honest though, there's been an incredible amount of Andrews bashing going on in various other threads - match reports etc - with very little countenancing in his favour (even though the bashing still flies in the face of match reports etc). So if it makes you happy just think of my post as a delayed response to a whole host of unsubstantiated drivel written over the past few weeks. The truth of the matter is I just really haven’t had time to post much till now.

Also if I mention Keith in another thread, people then whine that I should keep it to the Keith Andrews thread!

If people want to watch Keith Andrews and think he's sh*t then let them. Please, for the love of God, let them. And we can all get on with our lives!!

Its not like Andrews has been playing well recently, hence the criticism...

It is called an opinion.

No need to be needlessly sarcastic and write a long extract even when nobody is discussing Keith Andrews!

Are you related to him?

By the way, I don't even mind him, but you go way over the top in defending him.

[jim mk2]

The debate over the qualities (or lack of them) of Andrews is sterile. Most fans seem to agree he is a poor player. You don't. End of story.

Far more interesting is your continuing unhealthy obsession with this player.

Perhaps you should make a declaration of interest and state that you are either related to the player or his agent .....or something.

Because if it's none of these you need help.
