And Bodin has now been sent off for diving. Hence why I made the thread. Silly me, why did I not notice you had posted that, oh hang on you did'nt!

I feel exactly the same way, they can both drop in to non league for all I care in fact I'd laugh my head off. Lee Brown is class and I hope he does really well wherever he ends up. So, BB doesn't ask to leave and you hope he drops to non league, Browner asks to leave and you hope he does really well... Lee Brown stayed when we needed him, the other 2 didn't, that's loyalty

I question any player who moves clubs in January. Leaving a job half finished to finish another job off for someone else doesn't sit right with me personally. You let your friends/teammates down for the sake of a few months. I know Bodin would have gone for nowt in the summer but I know he was looking for a move anyway. How can you question it?. There is a January transfer window and players are open to offers at that time.

Taylor and Bodin left for the same reasons. To test themselves at a higher level and to earn more money. Pretty much as most of us would if offered the chance of promotion, even if it were with a rival firm.
It really is time people got over it and recognised the huge contribution BOTH made to Bristol Rovers while they were here.
Yes, I would rather Taylor had gone anywhere but there, but so what? It's his life and his choice to make for the good of himself and his family. If we have a gripe, it should have been not with him but with the club he went to and the typically classless way they went about their business.
Brown was probably slightly different in that the indication is that there were external factors in his decision. But he also said himself that he wants a new challenge and to test himself. Fair enough.

Fair enough. Spot on. People need to get over it and grow up. These are pros earning a living and shouldn't be expected to have blind loyalty to clubs in the same way as fans. They have to look at what is best for them, their families and their careers. As I said in my earlier post both made great contributions to getting us promotions having cost nothing and left making us money.

You can find similar on Twitter for everyone of our players nearly lol. Looking on there forum, he was in most of fans selected 11 to start the game today. If he's that bad, why are so many putting him in there first 11?? Don't know why your going through Twitter, looking for the bad tweets. He did well for us and has moved on. It takes time to adjust, so considering, he has done well so far.

Looks like a few over the top tweets, due to the red card. Like our fans with lines a few weeks ago. Most want him in there team though.

The Snake went for money end of. He was bull shitted by the rose faced twat across the river just so we didn't have any chance of getting near them... All my respect went for the snake when he decided to leave us in the lurch - any professional would have made sure there was time to hand over before leaving for a new job - in any other profession. I'm not at all bothered what he does now. Bodin - not too different other than he at least had the professionalism to give a us time for a replacement... Both though, sh** on us, we pulled them from nothing and gave them a chance. When the time came to repay us they showed their colours. Both could have signed better deals finished the respective seasons with us then they could have looked for a club and we would have potentially got better fee's (I know snake had a clause). rant over. back to diy. Do you have the same lack of respect for any professional that joins us late in the transfer window or does it only apply to those that leave? I don't agree that that either owed us anything. Bodin was given monthly deals when he joined us and had he not performed or his knee injury had flared up we'd have dropped him like a stone - leaving him "in the lurch". With Taylor he would have been on low wages when he first signed and played a massive part in getting us from the conference to mid table in league one before then making us £300k - I'm sure everyone would have been delighted with that potential of outcome on the day he signed. I'll give you the Bodin one to be fair - I had failed to realise he had a knee injurythat was playing him up... Taylor on the other hand could have gone elsewhere if the money we offered him at the beginning was that crap - simple as that. He stayed, did exceptionally well. I have no issue with him leaving everyone leaves a job at some point. However, if you are being remotely professional, you don't leave your current employer in that sort of situation like he did. If someone joined us in under snake like circumstances that I would be very wary of them as they would do it to us. Is that even the sort of player you would want to sign?

You let your friends/teammates down for the sake of a few months. I know Bodin would have gone for nowt in the summer but I know he was looking for a move anyway. Why does it matter when they move? So you are criticising him for being ambitious and wanting the best for his future. Footballers only have a short career, need to make the most of it. Maybe its just me, if I start something I want to finish it. If I was a footballer id want to finish a season id started, especially if im doing well, offers will still be there in the summer. Like I said its just my view but I question any player that WANTS to move in the January window.

What do you mean by circumstances exactly? If it was our rivals best player who wanted to play in a higher division why wouldn't I want to sign him. He was clearly interested in taking a fresh challenge the previous season but nothing came along that suited him so he signed a short extension with us. Unfortunately it was City who came along in the window, matched his buy out and suited his career aspirations and presumably suited his personal/family life.

There different players so I would evaluate them differently but.... as I see it: Snakey. A good player, but signed for the wrong reasons. Heading LJ call him a natural finisher made me chuckle a bit. He works hard, gets in many good positions and for a really attacking team (which we’ve been) will score goals. His City time has been hampered by injury but he could still prove a good signing. I just don’t believe there commited to him. As his number 10 position is often filled with others. Bodin. A good player, but does go missing. Being a Lee Brown (6/7 week in, week out) will never be his game. He’ll be a 3/4 or 8/9. I think it helped Bodin that Brown was behind him Think Bodin mainly played on the right? Cutting in on his left. Good footballer, but you need a team that enables that trick. If Preston don’t- your loosing a good bit of what Billy can offer. But he’s good enough to learn things.
