[Mr Gittes 0]

Great move by the club, was about time to honour the man in an appropriate way.

Very sound gesture and thoroughly deserved to boot.

[Gemmill 46034]

Good stuff. I have every faith it'll be a more fitting tribute than the mackem's shambolic effort at honouring Stokoe.

 

The fact his wife approves of it has to be a good sign.

good crack that. bet bobby would have loved this season.

[McFaul 35]

 

Sir Bobby deserves one, but not to diminish the fact he's getting one, no one deserves one more than Keegan. I think my hatred for Ashley would go 20% if he put one up for KK.

Statues are for the dead iyam. Joe Harvey should have some sort of personal memorial at the ground. But this is a good bit of PR for the present owner and his mate, a 9 foot bronze statue wont come cheap...fair play to them.

[Dr Gloom 22155]

nice to see some positive pr coming from the club for once

[Gemmill 46034]

He better not be wearing any sports direct gear.

Nice pair of donnay trainers

This is going to torture poor shola, every time he walks by he'll hear

 

"Carl! Carl! Whys Carl ignoring me?"

It's a nice gesture from the club, however to me there's more individuals deserving of one.

At the same time I can forgive them for playing to the gallery & I'm fairly pleased about it.

As well, you could argue that he deserves it for status in the game alone and this being his home turf, warrants it here. I agree others deserve it for achievement but I'm still happy to see one of Sir Bob.

Chuffed for Bobby but I echo the Harvey sentiment. The bloke won 2 FA cups as a player and a European cup as a manager! That's a canny percentage of any trophy we've ever won as a club!

Great gesture - makes you wonder what Ashley's up to though as good gestures are usually followed by crushing disappointment in some other area...

Half time lager going up in price.

I think it's champion.....is wor Jackie still stuck on the side of a dual carriageway though? Would like to see him back at the stadium.

[Tom 14013]

They've moved him to the Gallowgate end.

@Cognoscentinovo on twitter has been driven insane by the idea of a Sir Bobby Robson statue.

 

embarrassing crack tbh...

[Ayatollah Hermione 14053]

He's always like that. His opinion is the gold standard in his realm.

[Tom 14013]

He says he doesn't want to be sentimental he just wants to win. As if one prevents the other.

 

Crackpot.

Gets far too wound up over nowt like. I imagine he's one of those people where you've got to know exactly how to talk to him or he's just off on one. Must be a fucking nightmare.
