Another interview with Smith.


I'm thrilled to return to Scotland after English nightmare, says Graeme Smith - The Daily Record

 

[Ninja Elephant]

The best thing about that article is that we're FINALLY called Hove Albion!

"When the move to Edinburgh went through I packed up a four bedroom house in 45 minutes."

Either he is a tight-arsed Jock who lives with minimal furniture or should consider a career change to something he is much more efficient at than goalkeeping.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Shows he lacked any mental toughness, desire or fight. He did look like a keeper who didn't want to be at the club any more in some of his starts (Norwich game springs to mind)

What i don't get is if we got a new manager in after Slade got the boot, why he thought he'd be better off leaving rather than fighting for his place, unless he knew he wasn't upto the job.

There was a new manager who was judging all the players anew, and his poor record could have been forgotten about and he could have tried to show what he was capable of having been given a clean slate.

Best for all involved that he left as soon as the transfer window opened.

Hove Albion FFS

Must be some noddy jock journo to have never heard of Brighton and Hove Albion...

We have to put up with hearing their results, so perhaps they should pay attention to ours

 

[El Turi]

He does have a point about our players having to wash their own kit though.

 

[The Large One]

What a grizzler.

 

[HarryNT]

It annoys me to see he is to a degree making out that he wasn't giving a fair crack of the whip. He was utter shithouse. Averaged 3 goals a game? f***ing glad we've got rid!

i reckon it rather shows he never settled down. he seems to be acknowledging it didnt work out and best to move on.

 

[Trigger]

Never had a howler?

 

[clarkey]

So he admits he was bad, fair enough.

Also, he's pissed off at being number 2 here and getting the odd game, but he's happy to be a number 3 up there.

The mans not right in the head.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

No loss. He didn't look like a keeper. My advice - stay in Scotchland old son.

Absolutly agee. There's been many occasions in football over the years when
its just not meant to be. Its best for all concerned that he has moved on sooner rather than later

 

[severnside gull]

not sure why a pro footballer shouldn't wash his own training kit (as opposed to matchday gear) - spoilt brats!

 

[Father Jack]

Is it really outrageous to suggest we could pay some old dear £7 an hour to wash some kit for 2 or 3 hours each morning? We seem to be ok with paying an ARMY of people to stand around in the club shop, and in comparison this minor expense would be far more worthwhile as it wouldn't make every player who signs for us immediately realise we're a joke club.

I just wonder if its a case of not owning the training facilities thus having knowhere to put a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

 

[Trigger]

If he didn't cack his pants everytime the ball came near him then someone else probably would have offered to wash his kit!

 

[WhingForPresident]

Why doesn't that Jock c*nt just f*** off once and for all?
We thought he was shit, he thought we were shit. Surely that's all there is to say?
