You really do talk bollocks Im sure you would walk into the Ayres Rock Shitkickers side you know so much about. Have you even had chance to commit any footballing crimes of your own, would you ever get there to give a foul away.
Yet I'm not a midfield dynamo who plays for a footballing club at a professional level. Get some perspective, eh? He earns in one month (even whilst warming the bench, as he has) more than I earn in a year. Who has the right to criticise, in return for my allegiance to the club? Oh, hang on, here we go ...
He has played professionally in the top 2 divisions for most of his 352 games more as a percentage than Edwards did. How many of his 352 games did you see as I would think living in Gosport it must be quite difficult to watch the Blades regularly
Ye olde chestnut. "You don't see as many matches as me, so shut-the-fuck-up." The mere fact that I don't see as many matches as you, yet still, in the ones I see him play (and the ones my mates see and tell me about) he is still as clueless, unskilled, woeful and embarrassingly consistent in all of this should really tell it's own story. Even reading Deadbat's regular, trusted and welcome (for a Sheffield ex-pat and Unitedite for 45 years now) reports it is not as though we heard 'Monty - 4/10: a poor game for him, which is unusual. Maybe he had an off day' more so much of the stuff I mentioned above, head-down, running into fuck-all, shit distribution, can't shoot, positionally wanting and basically running himself in circles whilst the opposition takes advantage of his footballing inadequacies. So I say to you, do I need to see many games to deduce he is a footballing pygmy? He's something I'd like you to answer as well. Why, if he is such a legend, were the doors at BDTBL not flattened when it was known he was finally surplus to requirements? Would you not think a lower-league side would at least make a cheeky bid, even on loan?
You compare him to Badger, Woodward, Joe Shaw, Coldwell, Edwards and Morgan all Blades legends in their own right and all more talented than Monty. He will never be a legend Im sure nobody would disagree but
every manager he played under picked him as a first choice apart from Wilson
Two things - I compared him to long-servers, just off the top of my head. His goals-to-games return isn't that bad, if he is classified as a defensive midfielder. Yet his performances were utter garbage for much of the twelve years he stayed, save for some where we had midfielders like Brown, McCall, Tonge playing around him. As soon as we lost those, he was found out for what he was, basically a pair of legs who ran (a given) but gave more to the opposition than he did create chances or beat his opponent.
Happy?
