Once he plays for them he will love them and they will love him,
Orrin Pendly played for Redditch and was racially abused by a fan when playing agaisnt K*ttering, but he still signed for K*ttering.
Aaron O’connor too, but he signed for them. Money talks I guess, gotta pay the bills.

Guess RR has to hunt around for some options - he would’ve been low down our pecking order below Lorraine, Diamond, Bowen, Hall and possibly Dean for the coming season?

Plus, given this will be our first season at this level, we need players with consistently strong attitudes who will give it their all during every game, and RR’s habit of blaming the ref for everything and dropping his head when the going gets tough is perhaps why Peaks is going with those named above.

Good player on his day who knows where the net is, but when things arn' t going his way every other player has to put in 110% to accommodate him. Don't think we'll miss his blaming teammates, officials, supporters either.

Did he blame supporters? Always seemed to speak well of us on twitter. praising us for being “a different class”
I really rated RR, but if he signs on for K*ttering then it will leave a very bad taste in my mouth, as it would for any of our players who choose to sign for them.

Guess it works both ways though, their fans likely feel the same about Nathan Hicks and James Hall turning out for us.

Had the odd spat during matches on the Hayden road side, although he was giving back from abuse. But he should have been able to ignore it and concentrate on the game in hand. That's what I was referring to

Robbins was very quick to criticise on twitter when games at Hayden Road were postponed due to waterlogged pitches often referring to ‘bad prep’. Mark Panter took exception to his comments on more than one occasion.

Now you mention it I remember him doing that, didn't realise Mark didn't appreciate it

I don't think some players realise the amount of effort groundsmen put into their job and the pride they take in it. Some football fans are the same too and almost accuse clubs of trying to make sure a game is postponed etc.

Players should realise that if it keeps raining and raining then a groundsman can't work miracles, it's Hayden Road not a ground that's had tens of thousands spent on ground work under the pitch etc.

Bobbins should be more respectful to his next clubs ground staff and considering he lacks consistency in his own performances he should get himself sorted before commenting on the jobs of others.
  • Play it out from the back.
  • 1 up front.
  • Man gets one good result via a new manager bounce and thinks he's Pep Guardiola.

If he signed for K*ttering he will have plenty of opportunities to criticize their groundsman. Latimer Pond has far worse problems than our ground.

Unfortunately that does happen from time to time in the lower echelons of the non-league pyramid. Not at our club, I hasten to add.
