I don't boo any ex players. Rico did today for Chesterfield what he did for us for 5 years, scored, dived, drew fouls etc etc. I was just making the point that to compare Richards departure (or Griffs) for that matter to Ainsworths is unrealistic. And as Hagrid said,why should Rico be be exempt from the treatment most ex-players face week in week out at football clubs in every league.

 

They both left for more money, one gets dogs abuse, the other doesn't. I don't understand why, when one was a better servant to the club than the other in terms of goals scored and tenure, they get more abuse. Maybe I'm an idealist, but I'd rather appreciate and be thankful for what someone gave us, than give them grief for doing what we ourselves would do.

I boo ALL ex-players and go all the way back to Bobby Gough in doing so. It's a football tradition.

Just out of interest, can someone explain how I managed to miss 25 of Rico's goals for Vale??

 

So I have my figures wrong, apologies. 75 goals is not to be sniffed at. I just don't think he deserved the abuse he got. Clearly I'm in the minority judging from the reaction on here.

I could score a penalty when given to me. It doesn't take mass amounts of skill to pass a dead ball into a corner of the goal, praying the keeper jumps the other way.

 

It doesn't take a massive amount of skill to deflect one in off your ****, but that counts in the records.

 

And if penalties are so easy why are England, as a national side, so ***** at them? Penalties are much harder than you make out.

I still don't count big Calvin's at Torquay as his goal:D

 

A penalty against Giulangi Buffon at the Euro's infront of 70,000 spectators plus TV audience is harder than a penalty against Stuart Tomlinson in front of 3,000, with it being a league season not a do or die penalty.

It doesn't matter how they are scored, they all count, they all matter and I'd take a 1-0 penalty win, rather than a loss or draw any day of the week.

I never think it's sensible to boo ex players because it invariably comes back to bite us on the bum. I think players probably expect it though so I imagine it was water off a duck's back to Richards. I won't get upset about it because it will never change. As Birdy said somewhere, some of our fans are thick!!
