"You know yourself this isn't how things work in the REAL WORLD. Do you think you'd get a pay rise if you walked around with a face like a smacked arse at your job?................... I'm asking you a question, Billy." "*Billy reluctantly indulging him* Errr probably not no." "EXACTLY! It stinks!" Where fore art though, empty seat?! Fuck off Billy, that one's mine!

Your situation and Gordon's aren't remotely comparable. Even if we agree this is about pay (we don't know that it is), the much more realistic scenario is that he's been in contract discussions for a while with the club. He's supposedly been on 60k a week, which if true is absolutely a piss take. He goes away to the Euros and mixes it with lads that are all openly talking about their 6 figure a week salaries etc. He's not getting a game and he's fucking steaming about that and the fact that Newcastle keep coming back with 75k (or whatever) as their new contract offer. After the shift he just put in for us last season. Then the Liverpool story comes up and that doesn't happen, and STILL we're taking the piss in the contract talks. Given that (completely fabricated) context, I think he would have a right to feel that he's having the piss taken out of him a bit. I made all of that up and it was still a more reasonable effort than "I don't do this at MY job!" Now me and Billy have found two seats together, so if you'll please excuse us.... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 7436 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 (edited) Well, yes we are speculating why he visibly isn’t putting the effort in. Whatever it is his attitude has been honking this season. You can tend to forgive people like Robert and Ginola who just don’t have it in them to naturally do the dirty work for the team. Gordon clearly did it last season which is why we know he is capable. This is my frustration with him.

Gemmill 49313 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 I agree his attitude has been lifting. I do think he has reason to be put out if we've been taking the piss in contract negotiations though. And he came with this sort of behaviour in his locker - we know he all but went on strike towards the end at Everton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it’s coming up to pay reviews I’m normally on top of my game not sulking and bringing the company down. I suppose it worked though but if I was his boss then I’d move him on. Shit attitude and not the first time he is showed it since got here. So what you are saying is your professionalism can be seen as “shit! Pay reviews coming up, I’d better do my job properly for a spell" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lots of ability and potential to get even better, although I don’t agree he is a blue chip player at the moment. i just take issue with players that don’t give 100%. Regardless if he is not happy with his contract or a move was blocked etc you can still try your hardest in a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamTaylor5 1162 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 Has he not just had a kid? If that is the case, could this not more be a factor? Didn't Bruno go off the boil for a while after he had his first kid? Wasn't someone on here fuming that he wasn't doing well but brining his kid on for laps of the pitch? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's nothing to do with that and 100% because he's a chook who's just stinking attitude because because well just because. The fucker pretty much last season dragged us along but let's forget that. Let's forget that he's had two summers of no rest and traveling and playing tournament football. Let's forget that others are absolutely honking at the moment too and showing similar body language. Nah man, this chook is a cunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7551 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 Nailed on pen for me. Not sure what the drama is. Mental decision not to replace Gordon/Murphy with Osula/Almiron for the last 10mins mind. Gordon looked like a hamstring waiting to happen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 32850 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 Anyone got a clip of the foul? It looked like a pen to me but I wasn’t watching too closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 22533 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 VAR checked it and okd it. That will do me. Looked a pen for me but not seen any replays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 23385 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 Is Shearer saying the Gordon one wasn’t a pen??? It’s about as stonewall as they come. The Joelinton one was a softer shout but you’ve seen them given and they’re definitely given if it’s a team from the north west wearing red.

Gordon initiated the contact, it was a pen because all the top teams get those decisions. In any other level of football, you'd be laughed at. Whereas the big Joe incident was definitely a pen, Walker doesn't touch the ball and collects Joelinton's leg. It all evens out in the end but I think you need to get your eyes checked, and watch some replays of both fouls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 23385 Posted September 28, 2024 Share Posted September 28, 2024 The Gordon one was a blatant pen. I’m surprised Shearer thinks otherwise. I’m less surprised about Gemmill getting it so spectacularly wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
