Midsblue Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 If Byrne isn’t playing due to disciplinary action then why not a fine instead so the team benefits from Byrne’s inclusion? If Byrne isn’t playing due to an appearance fee issue then that’s the price to pay for signing a player who evidently will enhance our midfield, our play and create chances for our strikers. If that fee is £4K a week then I’d happily pay £5 to £10 of that simply to see Byrne playing for us. I’m sure other fans would do the same. Something’s not right here. The longer this drags on I think it’s more a case of Byrne’s face not fitting with AL so he’s out in the cold. Might be behaviour, conduct or comments - whatever it is I don’t give two f*cks. You play your best and Byrne is our best! Grow the f*ck up AL and give FB the chance of playing Byrne. Draw a kind and let’s focus on signing those two players you’ve suggested were incoming last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 13 hours ago, Midsblue said: Don’t care what’s gone on behind the scenes. He’s our best player by a country mile. Hang on a minute - he played 37 plus 3 as sub, and we were relegated. Of course one man doesn't make a team, but he's not Lionel Messi. Our midfield is desperately lacking his creative spark in the middle. He’s fit and ready to play. Understand if he’s a bench warmer but he’s not. We still have to pay him if he’s sat idle or playing so let’s do the best for the club on the pitch. Whatever his wage, it’s a sizeable chunk of our budget so accentuates the reason why we need to play him and maximise the return from that wage. But what if he has a bad effect on the rest of the team/squad? Plenty on here criticised him for his performances last season. This is the one thing that concerns me about AL if you read into the Fane situation last season and rumours from other players, ex-players and ex-managers. If his personal opinions and resulting actions are jeopardising our clubs fortunes on the pitch then will we ever get out this league? In which we've played one game - another 45 to go. Maybe you're writing us off a little early? A few thoughts above. I'm sure the club hasn't taken the decision to suspend Byrne lightly, and everyone is fully aware of his ability. And his baggage.

During Wellens purple patch I asked her what they hell Wigan were thinking letting a player of Byrne’s callibre go... he was immense. she said he was a fantastic player, but a complete cock who’s attitude stank, I replied he seems to have settled. Weekend just gone we were speaking of opening day and I said he didn’t play - she replied “told you you’d find out he was a nob” It’s fairly obvious given his talent (and the evidence that every club he’s been at have binned him off) that there is something seriously wrong with the guy - no one is queuing up for him hence him training with the youths on a wedge.

If there wasn’t (and AL wanted rid) he’d be gone Agreed. Let's face it, given his ability/potential, he should probably be playing at Championship level at least. The fact that he's not, and there doesn't seem to be a stampede of interested buyers, surely suggests that he is (very) high maintenance. FB has repeatedly and rightly stressed the importance of team spirit, and if (speculation) Byrne has to be frozen out to safeguard that, that's what'll happen.

PlayItLivo Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 We've been crying out for a quality midfielder for years. Since Wellens left really. We get one and then don't play him. It's baffling. We bought a footballer, not a priest. He's under contract with us, so let's utilise him to our benefit. This amazing, high quality, footballer, with long golden hair, as fit as an Olympic sprinter, who saves kittens from trees and works at the soup kitchen in his spare time, who will lead us to the promise land doesn't exist. Baxter's renowned for having poor professionalism given his history, but we all hail him as the next coming of Jesus. Why is Byrne such a pariah by comparison?

Jesus as a man is accepted as historical fact - I don’t believe in him as the son of god as I don’t believe in god hence he died 2000 years ago and I can’t ever comprehend his second coming especially as it’s 18 years overdue. i believe everyone deserves a chance to make up for their mistakes and Jose is entitled to that chance so whilst I won’t get on my knees and pray to him good luck to the guy. Byrne is making a career out of being a prick and as a manager of people attitude is a massive part as much as skill as a poor attitude can be toxic and spread throughout a team especially when those with a good attitude see such as not being challenged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter's renowned for having poor professionalism given his history, but we all hail him as the next coming of Jesus. Why is Byrne such a pariah by comparison? How long have you got ? Baxter came and played really well and got the crowd onside in his first spell He signed a contract to ensure we got a fee for him when he could have refused and left for nothing He showed a good attitude during his first spell with us, playing for the TEAM He apparently put his past misdemeanours behind him whilst playing for us first time He's chosen to play for us this time round (although it may have been Hobson's choice) He's keeps his gob shut most of the time on and off the field To my mind Byrne also played well during his loan spell but went off when permanently signed ( I know the "played-out-of-position" boys will have their excuse but it's not what the TEAM needed ) He's showed a poor attitude when things aren't going well for HIM His reputation from former clubs seem to have followed him His constant badgering of his TEAMMATES when a) they don't give him the ball or b) they don't receive it from one of his passes is poor (it's never a bad pass from him !) Shouting at the manager and throwing his hands in the air shows a poor attitude His twitter emojis ( or whatever they are ) serve only to ridicule, however justified, the club I support For me the main reason we went down was a lack of team spirit during the last dozen or so matches and I can't imagine Jack Byrne was one of the ones contributing to the whole team ethos ! I was hoping that he would calm down and just play bloody football but his arrogant attitude apparently prevents him from doing this and until it improves I for one am glad to see him playing with the kids.
