Cal Roberts

[laddo]

Yes,we all get what your saying laddo
But no player is bigger than this club.
Cal Roberts,in the right frame of mind firing on all cylinders could possibly be the difference between promotion or failure.
He and a group of players are regulars on what you could say the pub scene.
I personally would say concentrate more on what pays your bills rather than pishing it up the wall..
Yes we have all been young and spent many nights out when we perhaps shouldn’t of,but this guy has a good future in football.
So get ya **** in nut down,and get back on ya footie son.

In a roundabout way I was implying that no player is bigger than the club. The club just won 3-0 away at what many rightly considered a tricky away fixture. What's happening with a player who didn't start, and hasn't started recently during the 4 unbeaten isn't a big issue for me.

Footballers drinking on a Saturday night in the city centre is a story as old as time. I used to drink in the same bars as many a Notts and Forest player.

Agree if he wants to put socialising ahead of football than he's a fool IMO but I have no idea whether he's doing that. Lots of rumour and innuendo, as IB perfectly put England C or no England C any player not in the starting XI has to work hard to get in there. Ask E Sam Me Lord for example.

Absolutely.

Cal Roberts is a young lad who may have more intelligence in his feet than in his head. He may or may not have got a bit carried away with the hype and transfer talk that surrounds young players who show promise. He may or may not be temporarily upset with the coach because he's not currently in the team. These things happen. Let's remember most of the social media material being discussed this morning was NOT posted by Cal Roberts, whose two significant contributions yesterday were posts congratulating his teammate Ruben Rodrigues.

I think back to the days of Gazza. Some relatively young, talented footballers don't come from backgrounds that equip them with the emotional intelligence and maturity to handle being the focus of growing attention. They make mistakes, but it doesn't mean they need to be savaged by supporters on social media, many of whom don't display any more maturity or intelligence themselves. I'm sure IB will deal appropriately with anything Cal has done wrong, but it's no reason to be writing off a young player who - with the right guidance - can continue to be a real asset to this club and go on to have a successful career.

An excellent post Jackal. From what I read yesterday, any comments made by Cal Roberts were of a positive nature.
I do hope that all posters on this and any other threads do not give this gossip any oxygen, but continue to support our player and encourage him to aid our promotion push.

You just beat me to it Cheltenham


We win 3-0 away from home, and all the noise on here is regarding rumours.

I think I'll put my energy behind supporting the team to have the best chance of getting promoted, and celebrating a well fought win.

Well done lads

"In short, people have become less tolerant of opposing opinions. And their reactions to those opinions has become more emotional and outrageous."

What an offensive statement. whoever wrote it should be cancelled immediately!

Oxygen??
100% do I want cal roberts to turn this around.
But my support of Notts county will never die.
Respect the people that help pay there wages instead of treating them like dimwits..
Train and play to the best of your ability..
That would be good enough for me and always will..
