[Archived] Gael Givet Signs

[gumboots]

Please don't give him player of the season this year because we all know what happens next!

Perhaps that's an idea. We hold a poll near the time, decide which player we really most want rid of, all vote for him and then he gets sold. Result all round!

Who do you reckon that might be gumboots?

[LeftWinger]

The same David Pleat who mispronounces the majority of players he commentates on ITV?

I think it was Pleat on the radio the other day that was really struggling with Assou-Ekotto. He decided it was much easier to call him Couto.

I've got my four year old niece running around singing 'Ole Ole Ole - Givet, Givet'. It's a shame videos cannot be share with external sources from Facebook.

Used to love him trying to say Chimbonda it normally ended up as Chimbomba.

Well at the moment it's probably a toss up between andrews and Pedersen with Andrews probably winning (or losing depending on your point of view) but give it time! We could find another scapegoat by then.

Classy so far this season - 2 goals already too (yesterdays was his really).

Bargain signing - well spotted Sam

roberts scored the goal,the keeper had the header covered before our dynamic centre forward chested it past him

are you for real? stop being so bloody pedantic! We all know it was ACTUALLY Givet's goal! Roberts may have deflected it, but I still consider it Givet's goal. In the same way a minor deflection off an oppo player wouldn't change the goalscorer.

[Eddie]

It wasn't a minor deflection though and the rules are a bit different when you're on the same team. Roberts touch was crucial, it wouldn't have gone in without it so it is his goal.

I suppose so. I just dont understand why certain rules are in place I guess. Kind of a pointless rule imo. It was Givet's intention to get that ball in, not Roberts', so he should get the credit. Dubious goals panel need a re-think! Having said that, it might help Jason's confidence a tad?

It's allright for you waggy. You have the benefit of slo-mo replays from all angles with a dodgy ayrab commentator, a pint in your hand, the likely company of the town drunk whilst we have to make do with live action, proper mates and a good atmosphere.

We're allowed our own little rules.....just not you

roberts got in the way of the header, i think his header was still going in from my view in the Jack Walker stand. No doubt you have an advantage watching it on the telly in the pub!!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I watched it again on MOTD and waggy is right, the keeper would have saved it if Roberts hadn't got a crucial deflection.

that's what roberts said post match too

[modes98]

Shot on target from Givet! I just want it to be his because he is in my fantasy team.

In my opinion it should go down as a Roberts assist, as he assisted it going into the net.

The intent was Givets.

I'm liking your logic. You should be on the dubious goals panel.

Hopefully his knee injury is nothing serious:

I sincerely hope so, losing him is one of the last things we need at the moment.

[philipl]

That is worrying. Losing Givet for a long spell turns us into serious relegation contenders.
