Wes Tender Posted 21 March, 2009 Share Posted 21 March, 2009 Sad that he was booed. I don't see any reason why it was warranted. He always seemed an honest lad, always gave his best, although he didn't really set the world on fire at the level we used to be. He'd have been a lot more effective if he was still with us now, such has been our decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cool Posted 21 March, 2009 Share Posted 21 March, 2009 Brett gave his all for us. He didn't score a lot of goals but he did bag a few memorable ones such as the winner in the FA Cup semi-final 2003. Those booing him are prats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 22 March, 2009 Share Posted 22 March, 2009 Thats a shame - I never like the way we slag ex Saints players. Especially someone like Brett. What a shame. Agree 100% Robbie. Players often want away and afterwards they incur the anger of fans when we play their new side, and rightly so ; ( Kevin Phillips, example). but players like Brett (who apparantly didn't want to go in the first place) get a raw deal. He clearly wasn't Prem.quality a lot of the time, but his honest hard-working input and selfless service helped make James Beattie's career brighter than it might have been. Sometimes it's a case of the club making the decision on financial grounds but quite a lot of the players we've "dumped " in recent years would have been pleased to stay I'm sure had it not been that we needed to reduce the wage bill. Sadly, some (Saints) fans boo ANY former player regardless of their personal history. I think Brett deserved some better respect - even if he was playing for the other side !

Chez Posted 22 March, 2009 Share Posted 22 March, 2009 we embaress ourselves time after time. On the one hand we allow ex skates like Routledge to avoid any stick whatsoever then we get mugs abusing a player that will down in Saints folklore for scoring in the semi.

VectisSaint Posted 22 March, 2009 Share Posted 22 March, 2009 More than Ormerod. Wonder if the ego on legs will ever reach 107 league goals (ok, some were for Accrington Stanley before they rejoined the League) - another 80 to go, maybe he will. Given Brett's horrendous injuries over the years thats not a bad tally for someone who is crap. Made a lot of goals for Beatts when he was with us, even if he didn't score many himself. I see he is quoted on wiki (from the BBC) as saying "I had some of the best years of my career at Southampton. Its a big club with great supporters."

Ormerod is a fantastic bloke, great energy and a vital part off our best team for years but his ability actually was pretty non existant whereas McGoldrick actually has some. Not every striker has to be like Ormerod and run round like a headless chicken. Not every striker who doesn't run round like a headless chicken has a massive ego. I despise people who say things like that which is clearly a judgement of someone they don't know. Just look past your hatred of him, accept that McGoldrick is what he is and when you look at it is actually a talented player, whose our top goal scorer, and has looked alot better lately since he's got some support upfront.

SaintsAddict Posted 22 March, 2009 Share Posted 22 March, 2009 Had some people shouting about how ugly he was during the game and comments about Kev's wife but was applauded off when he was subbed and then at the end when he came over. He said that we were a superb club with superb fans in the progamme and that we should be back in the premier league where he spent the best years of his career with us. If anyone did boo then they were definitely in the minority and were not real saints fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When McG plays regulary in the Premiership,when he scores a FA Cup Semi Final goal, then perhaps we can compare him to Ormerod. Ormerod wasn't quite good enough for the Premiership, but made the most of his limitted talent. McG is CCC at best, but seems to think he's something special.

Bad Wolf Posted 22 March, 2009 Share Posted 22 March, 2009 Anyone who boo'd Brett should be ashamed of themselves. He never wanted to leave, he loved the club, he gave a heart felt speech about how upset he is to see us where we are. While he was with us he put in 100 times more effort than a good 8-9 of our reguler starters do now.

Alain Perrin Posted 22 March, 2009 Share Posted 22 March, 2009 He is probably the laziest, slowest, least motivated player I have seen in a Saints shirt for many a year. He doesn't read the game well, doesn't know how to make space for others or pull other players out of the game. He does occasionally spark into life, but flickers all too briefly.

Oh dear, I don't think I agree with a word of that. McGoldrick at his best for Saints so far hasn't come close to achieving anything like what Ormerod did, and he's nothing like as good a player either - Brett's selfless workrate helped create space for Beattie to score the goals he did, he was a far fitter player than McGoldrick and had more influence on play, he was a handful for opposing defenders, won the ball back in dangerous attacking positions with all his closing down, and was a better finisher than McGoldrick when his job was to score goals not help create them (at Blackpool the first time he was there). Plus he played regularly for Saints in the Premiership, for a team that finished in the top half. McGoldrick WISHES he was half the player Ormerod was for Saints.

Our travelling fans have been terrific, but this was stupid and moronic. Brett has been a loyal servant for Saints and always ran his socks off, scoring some crucial goals too, not least the one that got us to the Cup Final.
