CONFIRMED Gary Madine signs on loan

[Northyorksblade]

They play hoofball and hes a big lump. Cardiff fans think hes shite as well. Piss poor.

To be fair, some iof our best players were thought to be shite by their previous club's fans.

 

[Davalon]

I’ve just sent a turd in the post to McCabe

Only fair. He's provided us with a few.

True!! However Cardiff fans have a point with this one

You know when you land on Pornhub and you think "Blonde, mid-twenties, solo....".

And you end up with a horse, a dwarf and a nailgun?
Sometimes you have to go wrong to go right.

Just sayin' .

Best....analogy...ever!

15 minutes to go, who else is in?

There's a good few of us so far.

Unfortunately some 'blokes' think being a 'bloke' is acting up and slapping some random fella, usually an easy target, cos these 'blokes' dont pick on anyone who might be able to fight back. Most of these 'blokes' would get their arses handed to em in any boxing gym.

Yep, I’ve known loads of them, tend to have massive chips on their shoulders and sadly a few never grow out of it.

Nowt pious about pointing out how the vast majority of people choose to live their lives. But yes, I do look down on anybody who thinks there is anything defensible in wanting to physically damage other people. I’d call that civilised, I’m sure you’d call it being a snowflake or something equally vacuous

No, just relating to the real world. I've often wondered what kind of person would whip out a camera phone rather than intervene when someone is being assaulted or worse. Maybe you could explain that one whilst you're online.

 

[Bannerman]

Nope. Never got myself into the situation where it was necessary. Never felt the need. I wasn’t a Neanderthal nobhead who felt I had some sort of point to prove. I was like the vast majority of people.

I'm happy for you mate but can't help but feel that you're being just a little bit sweeping in your judgement on this. I have never started a fight in my life but unfortunately have been involved in a few when I was a kid. I don't like bullies and refuse to be bullied so it can happen whether you want it or not.
You are fortunate if you've never had the experience but what are you supposed to do if someone decides to hit you first?

As for Madine that's different, he obviously is ( was? ) a bully and does hit first. I'm not over the moon about having him onboard but people. even people you don't like deserve a chance to turn things around. As I said earlier Wilder is trying to achieve an objective while under financial constraints and adding to his difficulties by insisting on sainthood as a requirement for playing for us is asking too much.

Id say its the 'bloke' who would do eff all cos most of them are pussies when it comes to the crunch. Real men who dont need to drag their knuckles would intervene if the situation demanded.

Why would I need to explain that? What does it have to do with what we are discussing?

A different thing to going out looking to get involved in a fight, fair enough.

Football loyalty is very different to any other form of custom.

Understandably fans will make more excuses for their club than they would another business they use.

Long term fans invest a lot of time, money, and emotion in their clubs. They have a right to strong opinions even if sometimes misguided.

Being upset about signing one of the biggest dickheads in the game we've crossed swords with, isn't like falsely accusing McCabe of pocketing the money.

I don't have a problem whatsoever with fans being happy with signing him.

I do find the turn turtles now trying to justify or make excuses for his past ridiculous however. Many of the same would be having a field day if the Pigs were resigning him.

Equally this North Korea-esque attitude of put up with it and stop moaning or fuck off, is pathetic. The type of approach that comes from the self styled 'lads' or the real big Blades who think they have the monopoly on how to support the club.

I like the fact Wilder is big on doing background checks into players characters and attitudes. I can't believe that he won't have taken that very seriously in this case.

However if he's shocked and upset at the social media reaction like some are suggesting, then he's incredibly out of touch imho as a Blade. Personally I don't believe he will be, especially as I don't think social media is his bag. No doubt mates, or people at the club, will pass on the reaction.

In my near 40 years supporting the club I'm struggling to remember a more divisive prospective signing for this many reasons. We've had ex-pigs, a previously convicted rapist, a convicted woman beater....

With Madine there are multiple concerns not just the one issue.

It may turn out a masterstroke. Let's hope to God it does.

But let's not pretend people are out of order for being disappointed or questioning this.

Perhaps he's the best we can afford and CW sees him as a better option to Marquis?

Be happier if we kept our shilling in our pocket.

 

[Billyblade]

Billyblade please can you update the poll options to take account of the other 28,936 Madine threads?

Thank you.

I can't keep up

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

What would be the aim of booing Madine?

Remind him he's a cunt?

 

[Davalon]

The unfortunate thing about this post is some people probably won't see the joke/ sarcasm and turn up tomorrow with banner's and flares

What a remarkable comment. I would say its the person who's never been involved in an altercation in his life and it would be left to one of the "dickheads" to intervene.

 

[snootyfenooty]

See #696 above

 

[Chapel Allerton]

If he’s wearing the sacred stripes then I’ll cheer him. Simple as that.

 

[Northyorksblade]

How soon after he signs will it be, before a pig has a go at him for joining us and.....he reverts to form.
Mrs NYB is a real softie, doesnt follow the mob mentality, would normally be on the side of the one being picked on, in this case Madine, but even she is horrified at the thought of us signing someone so divisive although she was pro Ched coming back. She says this is very different. Only time will tell.
Ps Anyone who knows Mrs NYB, she's not such a softie at games

 

[Bannerman]

Remind him he's a cunt?

Pointless excercise, people of that ilk do not recognise any fault in themselves, if they were capable of doing so then they wouldn't be one.
I've known one or two and to listen to them it's all someone elses fault, the world is against them and they're playing a blinder despite that.

No idea if that is what Madine is like but if he is it'd be a waste of time and if he isn't then it will be a negative in terms of the team.
I shan't boo him despite my reservations about the situation.

Remind him he's a cunt?

He certainly was a cunt , but he was convicted, went to prison, apparently had therapy for his temper problems and it's been seven years. A few booing Blades will have limited effect on his regret and rehabilitation.

It could possibly have a negative effect on his individual performance as well as our results though.

Sorry Bergen, it was tongue in cheek.

He’s not changed much Bergen. He’s been involved in plenty of incidents since his release from prison, do some googling.

Come on, admit it, who's on this picture

 

[Smirth]

I think either you have been lucky to have never been in the wrong place at the wrong time , or you didn't grow up in Sheffield

Nope, it takes at least 2 people to have a fight and I just ensure I’m not one of those people. It isn’t difficult.

 

[Chingo]

It seems plenty are making excuses for him and putting him out there as some urban legend and what he has done is normal for a young man , it says a lot about those people !
