djf Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Which post are your comments aimed at? It helps if you attach them to the post to which they refer. You can attach it to yours if you feel the need. Or a number of others. The long and short is, none of you know enough about football to judge a player on the number of minutes Obua has had, especially as he is returning from injury. But it's always easier to kick someone when they're down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I remember a story that was said on hearts world during the match. Apparntly one player when he first came into the U19s had green boots with him. Apparntly Darren Murray was not too pleased, took the boots and threw them into the woods behind Riccarton. The boots were never seen again. I like DM even more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lithuania Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Which of our 11 players are you talking about? Hopefully not Nade anyway, though he was leaps and bounds ahead of anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you meant to include yourself in that statement what makes you better able to judge than anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Gosling Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Have we lost a game that Obua's played in yet? Airdrie was a draw. Have we not won the other 5? Maybe they are lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Gosling Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 we lost the airdrie game mate, because of his crap penalty Yeah that's fair. The penalty defeat, and the 120 mins without a goal before that were entirely his fault, in retrospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ross Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 They certainly are horrific. Come on Obua, do the right thing. Why try and wind up your own supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 They certainly are horrific. Come on Obua, do the right thing. Why try and wind up your own supporters. Maybe he doesnt see the colour of his boots as having an effect in the winding up of his own supporters. If he scores with green boots does it not count?? Yes they are a horrible colour but its the feet thats in them that counts!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Quagmire Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Sigh How many minutes has he actually mustered? Alex Ferguson couldn't judge a player in that time, never mind some of the armchair gaffers on here. You give yourselves way too much credit. Aint that the Truth !

Tott Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yes they are a horrible colour but its the feet thats in them that counts!!! Shows disrespect for the fans. He knows that green is not a colour favoured by the fans,but still he waers the boots. Imagine any hobo with maroon boots? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooba1874 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 As much as i hate the colour green and having any hearts player wearing green, at the end of the day its just boots and as he said its only advertising he gets money from nike to wear them.. why not? unless nike are just trying to **** us off?

redm Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yes he was, green boots binned Someone must have had a word and warned him that we're a touchy enough bunch as it is without doing stuff like that. It is silly, but it's definitely a no-no to wear the colours of your rivals. Green boots look daft anyway, bit too much like camouflage for football pitches.

Boris Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 you should start a thread slagging them off. thats about your level. What's wrong with starting a trhead about it? If he has binned the boots, then I'd like to think I had some part in his "re-education"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4marsbars Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Going back to an earlier point about whether or not he ever was SA Player of the Year, I emailed the Kaiser Chiefs and got this reply: In 2005 - 2006 David Obua was nominated as one of the players who up for the player of the season award unfortunately he lost out to Surprise Moriri of Mamelodi Sundowns, for the same season though he was voted as the Kaizer Chiefs player of the season. So looks like he came pretty close. Give the man a chance. Still cannot believe the strength of feeling about the colour of his boots though. Tynie grass has been green ever since I remember (actually brown a lot of the time) and Hibs players bleed maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
