Ben Mee revisited...

[Supersub6]

Your obsession with Ben Mee is bordering on the bizarre mon ami, this is what's in the link you put up,

"Brentford defender Ben Mee has revealed that he had no contact from Burnley about a new contract after their initial offer at the end of April. The former Clarets skipper was one of a host of first-team players that left Turf Moor after the club was relegated back to the Championship last season. Mee had made 376 appearances for Burnley over an 11-year period but was out of contract in the summer and departed once his deal had expired before securing a move back to the top flight with Brentford. The 33-year-old was offered new terms by the North West club in a bid to keep him but, as he revealed on Football Ramble’s The Drop In podcast, the deal tabled was not good enough and there was no communication after the initial offer. He explained: “The circumstances of leaving the club wasn’t ideal. Leaving the club when they’d been relegated was tough. I’d been there for so long that I cared a lot about the club, the people that were there, and everyone around it so that was tough to leave that.” Mee continued: “It’s how you’re valued and I think it’s a lot of different scenarios – is the club going to come back up in the Premier League? Is it going to do everything it can to come back up in the Premier League?"

Again absolutely nothing new or contentious there, and it's taken from a Podcast that he was asked to do which you haven't listened to. He did not seek to be interviewed, he was asked to do it and gave his time to oblige them, just what any decent person would do.

You really should start acting like a grown up, and stop throwing your toys out of the pram for spurious reasons, every time Ben's name crops up, it's infantile.

If he'd had a couple of painkilling injections and played for the team instead of making sure he was not injured to go off on his merry way to new and lucrative pastures, I'd take in his heartfelt comments.

BT, it's 2022 not 1959! Players don't have steroid injections to keep them playing these days. Why? Because the long term damage that they do is very difficult to contend with.
John Angus used to tell me that, in his day, it was very common for players, including himself, to have these injections and it cost him three new knees and a new hip.
Ben started 337 matches after he had signed for us and that is in 10 seasons, he did not need to play with injuries as far as I am concerned, he earned his corn and owes us nothing.

Sometimes I just have a strong cup of coffee, give my head a wobble and just remind myself this is a forum to vent opinions. It appeared to me and a lot of others on social media that Mee had himself one of those "convenient" end of season injuries and was not going to play no matter what Jackson said.

Subject closed for me now, I'm bored.

He refused to be jabbed ? He wouldn't take a shot to help out others, now that rings a bell mon ami. Why does the word hypocrite spring to mind I wonder ?

I have no idea and neither do you sinkov if he took a jab or not. I suppose he must not have done because his alleged knee knack or whatever it was that kept him out of our crucial games only went when he signed for Brentford.

You said he didn't get jabbed mon ami, so presumably you know he didn't, or you're just making stuff up again. So which is it, he didn't get jabbed as you said, or you were making that up and you don't really know ?

Either way, I just love the fact that the man who won't get jabbed, and loses no opportunity to tell everyone else on here that they shouldn't get jabbed either, has a personal grudge against Ben Mee, because he wouldn't get jabbed. You really couldn't make it up, I thought Ben would have been your hero mon ami, your poster boy, he's a soulmate of yours after all, isn't he ?

The Bedlington 'no jabs' Terrier and Ben 'no jabs' Mee, it's the dream team innit ? What went wrong ?

I know I've mentioned on here many times in the past Ben was never the most gifted of footballers, albeit prone to the odd goal conceding clanger, but he always displayed the Heart of a Lion.

How it turned into one of Little Bo Peep's lamb hearts I have no idea mon ami.

33 years old, still automatic first choice in a decent Premier League outfit, scoring goal of the season volleys at one end and smart enough to get superstar striker Diego Costa sent off at the other end, and all the while earning double what anyone at Turf Moor is getting. What a ****.
