why I can wash my work clothes when I get home, why shouldn't footballers, when you are old enough to live away from the fairies who wash your clothes maybe you will realise its not actually that hard.

What he said !!!

I guess anyone complaining about having to wash their own clothes probably still lives with their Mummy !

So aside from his total lack of ability, he is also a snivelling little weed with all the fight and mental strength of soufflé. It's amazing really, he is strengthening his case for being one of our worst signings of all time even after we've managed to get shot of him.

I'm afraid to say that Graeme Smith was one of the worst keepers I have EVER seen play for us. Not only was he a hopeless shot-stopper, he actually never really looked that interested. The defence quaked whenever the ball got into our penalty area as they knew the keeper was a liability. And I'm not sure his arguement that he convinced Slade he should be no. 1 is correct. I had to chuckle when I heard the reporter at the Hibs match yesterday say that Hibs had been lucky not to concede early on after Smith had brought down one of the opposition's forwards in the box!

 

[TrevorDove]

I always thought Brian McKenna to be the worst BHA keeper I have ever seen, however after reading the sour faced jocko clown's comments I'm now firmly in the Greame Smith worst BHA keeper camp.

Good riddance.

decent interview except for calling us Hove Albion

Couldnt agree more mate id of rather of had Andy Peterson than that useless jock in goal

<waits for a joke about clean sheets>

..... wish he could have kept his sheets as clean as his kit.






coat....

Wouldnt it be great if players and managers told it how it is at times. Smith could have said, "I had a great season and brighton came in for me. To be honest it never worked out, the defence was leaking goals, I also made a few mistakes and Im here to get my career back on track"

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Yeah, but DO the players wash their own kit tho? Face it, they're none too bright. Are they really wise in the ways of kit washing? One and only time I took me S1T top up the launderette it ripped the badge clean off

Was that the top you recently melted (a bit) when you stuck it in the hot tumble-drier?

Most League 1 and 2 clubs operate a system where the players wash their own training kit. Loan players, who are usually based in hotels, get their's laundered. It's never been an issue before, but I guess SPL clubs launder players' training kit and GS was used to it.

Over 30 years ago playing staff had their training kit laundered for them, I think it was Wilson's Laundry and the Goldstone didn't have the facility there either, although I think they did at sometime later have machines there,

Kit nicely cleaned and put out each day for the pro's.

Some 30 years on our players have to clean their own kit, it aint no big deal maybe, but the perception by player's coming in might offer a different view.

Although my view is that Scholars should do menial tasks, I am not sure at a professional football club pro's that might be being paid £1000's per week should somehow have to do this task, it can represent unprofessionalism from the club.

 

[Icy Gull]

We are well shot of a man who wasn't willing to fight for his place and can't seem to grasp that he was statistically the worst keeper that this rather lowly club has ever had. Less whinging more effort and backbone might have helped his cause. I do, however, understand the washing his own kit gripe though, he probably wasn't capable of hanging onto it long enough to get it into the machine or out of it for that matter.

 

[Captain Pugwash]

Ive never seen a goal keeper try to save so many shots with his legs, look at some of the goals and at least 1 goal a game went in becuase he's thrown a leg at it.

Its a shame really as i was really excited when we signed him, just goes to prove that IMHO we shouldnt have let Sully go

 

[Harty]

Perhaps he could have paid someone to wash his kit out of the alleged £3,500 a week we were paying him...........

Maybe he did, however the comment was more of a overview of how he felt the club was run, he is implying unprofessionalism.

Not sure about that, probably another player disappointed at his own form.

But I think proferssional footballers should have their training kit supplied, cleaned and ready for them.

You cannot pay good wages on the one hand whilst then showing an element of amateurism on the other.

 

[Eddie Bee]

Is that why Virgo and Hart threw their shirts into the crowd, they knew they would get new ones and could not be bothered to wash them!?

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

What a THICKO. just turn the clothes inside out and save half the washing time, or buy a new training top every day with his staff discount.

So, are you saying that Lawyers, Bankers, Doctors and others on 'good wages' also shouldn't be expected to wash their own workclothes? What has wages got to do with whether or not you should do this? And where does it end - will the management and training/support staff expect the same?

Have to say I totally agree with this. We are not talking about Sunday afternoons on Hackney Marshes here. Do they have to make their own halftime tea and slice the oranges too?

he was crap anyway no loss :US:
