[Albion] Back in Garth's good books

[The Optimist]

The whole column is unprofessional week in week out, shirley?

Well yes, there is that.

 

[The Wizard]

The man is a f***ing clown.
It's a mystery to me how he manages to keep stealing a living from the BBC.

Are you aware of the organisation that is the BBC?

But yes I agree, he’s stealing a living and probably earning a yearly wage from this stupid column, it’s the same every time he includes one of our player, he had a great game…. <Insert waffle here about how poor the opposition was>

I’d be willing to bet good money he doesn’t actually even watch games, just highlights of goals, hence why 99% of his picks just happen to be players who scored.

 

[papajaff]

Always a minimum of 7 players from the so called top 6.

Crooks is pretty useless.

 

[peterward]

Garth was a pretty decent player back in the day, a crap OTT and rambling presenter that was binned a long time ago and now an irrelevant small time journalistic side show.

Who cares what he thinks.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I was commenting on another poster’s suggested team of the week that included only Brighton forwards.

Sorry - mu bad.

 

[rool]

Girth Crooked thread is a lot like the MOTD threads. I open it in the vain hope that they will contain some measure of our footballing genius.

But ever am I disappointed that the fat tw@t and jug eared prat give us due acknowledgement rather than how crap the other team are.

But still, I live in hope.

Or fantasyland.

Like wise the 10 Talking Points bit in the Guardian after every weekend.
The whole bit this week about Moyes.

You all know what to do...

Well I nicked it off Facebook

 

[hart's shirt]

Is this the time to ask whether there's any chance of Garth Crooks withdrawing from BBC Sport on a permanent basis?

 

[albionfan37]

I’m surprised he’s not offered up his services to MOTD for as long as he’s needed

I’m surprised he’s not offered up his services to MOTD for as long as he’s needed

It is a sad world where if I see any monkey emoji in a conversation about a black person I get worried about the connotations

He’s clearly busy with a long standing reoccurring engagement on Saturday between 3 and 5pm to justify not watching games but who knows, maybe be free in the evening

Says you’re reading way to much into it matey

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Says you’re reading way to much into it matey

Yeah I know, derails fun pisstaking threads

Back on topic, I have it on good authority that our Girth offered his services immediately which is why the BBC decided to go with no pundits at all.

 

[Bombardier]

How refreshing not to have his useless review up this morning. Could the BBC bin him off permanently?

 

[The Mole]

I don’t see why he hasn’t produced his weekly column as it’s not as though he needs to watch the matches

 

[Pevenseagull]

I guess he did have the comments of BBC staff who actually watch the games on which to base his expert analysis.
