What tint do they call it when you completely ignore the good a player does because you dont like them?
****int....

Never ignored the good he did, but, to many on here he was MASSIVELY overrated
Sod off, Barry Corr, never rated you & you have the touch of a baby elephant!
Funny, swore you said this.
No you arent, you are as good as you were over the whole period.
Thierry Henry was rubbish at the end of his career with Arsenal, but that doesnt wipe out his contribution over his time there.
Corr scored a goal every 3 games, however you want to dress it up thats a great return for a striker, especially one expected to play as a lone striker for a large part of his time here.
If Corr was only as good as his last game then an assist and a harshly disallowed goal that wasnt his fault wouldnt be a bad level to be judged on anyway.
If the above is true Paul Smith should be in goal tomorrow then, had a better career than Bentley so far
Funny to read the squabbling over Barry Corr.
He scored a decent number of goals for us. Though, still i struggle to rate him as anything but one hell of a trier. Maybe he proves that if you work hard enough.....?
The play-off against Stevenage at Roots Hall has been mentioned to his detriment. Funny, it was the time I was more impressed with Barry Corr than ever before. It is fair to say he had a complete nightmare in front of goal..and in such a hugely important match. However, there he was, miss after miss, howler after howler - and yet he never went missing. He never hid. The worse it got for him? The more he tried, the more he gave.
Barry Corr is very much a marmite player. But a player that nobody can deny gave his all.
This for me too. I'll never have a bad word said about Corr after the man went through 17 months of what must have been pure hell but all good things come to an end and I think it was best for both parties to go our separate ways this summer.
I'll criticise him. He wanted his contract sorted out but the manager and CEO had gone on holiday? Well, how terrible! I'm sure they didn't expect to have to go through the play offs when they booked their holidays! Did a couple of weeks really matter that much? Corr was pretty quick out of the starting blocks with his move, who knows what they would have offered if he had waited?
When a player leaves Southend on a free for more money from a rival club, and he is still loved by a good proportion of fans, he must have been pretty ****ing special.
He should have had his contract renewed ages before then anyway so I don't blame Corr in the slightest. If my contract at work was running out that quickly with a young family to look after I'd be pretty disturbed by the lack of action being taken by my employers.I'll criticise him.

Barry Corr was a grafter and he did score goals for us. But no way on earth was he anything like "pretty ****ing special". If that is pretty ****ing special?? We have had many players who must have been very, very ****ing special.
With Gower Jnr on the wing supplying them with crosses.:smile:Barry Corr Jnr and Freddy Eastwood Jr would be a dreamy frontline. Maybe the Football Manager simulation was more accurate than we thought...
