Beauseant

Surely Roeder can''t survive, not just this result, but the bloody awful performance? We clearly have no pride or motivation left.

[quote user="Binky"]Agree with your original post Beausant - though I''m not sure I like your reference to Ron Saunders. Saunders was tough and I think he was quite liked - but above all he was respected by players and fans (just ask Stringer or Forbes). Roeder fails miserably in the respect stakes. As for the game yesterday, I thought Bell was going to do the trick with some decent crosses: if ever there was a game where I would  have liked to have seen Lappin in a wide midfield role that was it. [/quote]   The point that I was trying to make was that Saunders was a person who didn''t worry too much about diplomacy, and certainly was prepared to make himself unpopular rather than compromise his principles .However,as I pointed out, he got the job done, and the club owes him a great deal. As you rightly say, he was respected , which is not something that Roeder has achieved.

[quote user="PhatCanary"]   Good posts one and all,It is obvious Roeder should go but when have the board ever seen the obvious and acted, i really fear that not enough fans are actually going to bother to show their true feelings at the next home games and Roeder will be left to ruin the club. [/quote]   While chants have an impact I think it would require a significant boycott of a game to really have much impact. However, it shouldn''t require that as it must be painfully obvious how bad things are!

[quote user="WeAreYellows49"]And how are baby and parents doing today Beauseant?[/quote] All OK, thanks WAY. We are hoping she''ll be released later,as we can''t visit due to the norovirus at the hospital, but no news yet. The proud grandfather does, however, have a slight headache due to an overdose of Pinot Noir last night[:D]

[quote user="The Butler"] Sorry I missed this yesterday Beau. Congratulations to you (welcome to the Grandad club) and the family. Hope all is well with your daughter and new grandson. Is he going to be called Glenn?[;)]     [/quote]   Many thanks Butler. There were times when I wondered if he was ever going to arrive,and yesterday was horrendous as I waited for news from the hospital, but I''m so proud now! He even arrived in time for me to catch most of the game! I have suggested Arturo (definitely not Glenn!), but the parents seem strangely reluctant![:D]  

[quote user="......and Smith must score."] Congratulations Beau............hope the head''s not too painful this morning.   [/quote]   Have to admit to being a tad delicate this morning![:D] Thanks again to all of you for your kind messages!

The sodding website logged me off half an hour ago and wouldn''t let me log in until I opened a new account! When is it going to get dragged into the 21st century? Thanks for all the messages guys,and thank you Arturo for lifting the cloud from my celebration! Now if you all excuse me I have some urgent business with a number of beers!!!![B][B][B]
