Couldnt give a **** who scores the winning goal am just happy of the three points!

I am properly one of the only people who feels we should of off loaded him to Blackpool when we had the chance then it would be there problem and not ours , as much as I like the guy and had done good to us I just feel this could get out of hand and cause us a right issue!

Another problem is if we had to let him go PS & TB will get it in the neck from the fans yet the only person to blame is Bilel himself.

I'd be surprised if we actually did get an offer. Not having a dig, just saying it's easy to slag someone off when they've had a bit of a **** week on and off the pitch!
The bloke is so important to the club in many ways, he's a reason why people got the bug back when we had 'that year' that we don't speak of.
The issue is actually not that much of an issue at the moment, people give away penalties even our hero Adam Bazza has given away a few in the past weeks for B'mouth.

You've got to give the guy a chance because he is literally one of the most peaceful people I'v ever spoken to.

It is important we back him!

God you really do speak utter garbbish!!!!!!

I havent just come up with this theory just because he kicked last week and he gave away a week Pen last night, Iv said it from day one I have given the guy a chance and he blown it time time again even though as you said he is a very peaceful guy offf the field with the fans but its not about us its about the team and the team going forward
 
Apart from the thread and poll on the specific subject ? First Hall now Bilel. Were any of our players involved in the recent riots so we can idolise them as well ? At least Hall has unquestioned ability. I'm struggling to see the positives but hey, keep clutching the straws.

Probably a bad choice of wording being as tho Tilly is the only legend at SUFC :winking:

I really only created that poll to gauge if people wanted him here on not. That fact that I said legend and 104 said yes speaks volumes.

Fair. Not gonna deny I speak garbage as it is my specialty.

What has he actually done that people think is so serious? Just out of interest. He gets involved too easily, but it's a definite improvement since last year IMO. Bar the alleged Orient incident!

if i go by anything that ive been told, he really did kick of in the tunnel after the orient game and could have got pretty serious.

Is this scissors rumour actually true?
Or do you think that he was cutting his sock tape off and just happened to be holding the scissors, your honour?

This alleged Orient Incident as said below was very serious and could of lead to the old bill being called and him being nicked ( if true of cause)

yes the lad has a lot of passion and a winning drive which I love but slapping,jumping in and having to throw his toys around everytime he is kicked or even someone else is kick is not on, last season he caused/helped towards a couple of losses that we could of nicked a point from.

People need to look at the bigger picture and not just the fact he waves at you,talks to you, or replys on facebook to you

Obviously that's outrageous if true. The bloke must have been saying some serious stuff to him for him to do that!
I think people are looking at the bigger picture though, because for me the bigger picture is that you can work on his temperament, and when that mental side is scaled down, he's going to play at a very high level and earn us a lot of money!

Of course the other bigger picture is, just get rid of him because he's never going to get better and even if he does, he won't be worth more than 100K.

Just hope that this can be sorted out! As we can't be completely sure if this is true !

i new a bloke once who cut his old missus to bit with a pair of scissors, god must have been about 45 year ago now, walter ruby his name was in Rochford, I dont know if anyone can rememebr he was a right old sod and his old lady didnt deserve the cuts he inflicted on her
 
well said.

This bloke is clearly one of those pathetic inadequates who pops up occasionally trying to be controvertial. Probably whilst sat alone in his bedroom in his pants w*nking over pics from his Mum's Freeman's catalogue. Ignore this bag of offal, dont give him the attention he clearly doesnt get in the real world.

That said why I am responding???? duh.

Back to the undies catalogue for me


I was a Kays man myself,thanks for the memories,green on it's way.
 
Tone - now that Barrett has gone, is Bilel your new whipping boy? Just askin', like...

Nope, it is very simple. Barrett gone, over-rated and I've been proved right, Bilel, I can't see what the euphoria is all about. The random factor is about the only thing I can see, liability on and off the field seems to be the reality. I could use the same argument about Freddy E. Not done a great deal since he left. In simple terms we would be no poorer if Bilel went.

We would be richer, he would command a fee :smile:
 
I was talking with Billericay Blue and Yorkshire Blue about Bilel last night. We agreed (I think!) that whilst he's not a great player, he's fantastic value and has given Southend fans more talking points in little over a year than many players have in three or four times that period. All good fun which, essentially, football should be about.

Can't help but warm to the fella,not sure at first but just love the way the fans react to him,lets get behind the chosen one,and watch him bare fruit hopefully,just my opinion mind.UTB

Totally agree with this and lets not forget the very real potential he still has !!!!!!!!!
 
Now I know who the Richard Cranium was that slagged him off all the way through the game yesterday & that was before the player came on as sub!
 
I could use the same argument about Freddy E.

You really are in a minority of one on that. McCarthy ruined Eastwood by trying to shoe-horn him into a system for which he was ill-suited.

I don't disagree that there's a certain unmanageable quality about Freddy, and that (as a result) he'd only really flourish in a side who were short of options up top and could give him licence to roam. But, frankly, he's easily good enough for such a side (e.g. Doncaster, Barnsley) in the Championship; and miles better than any striker we've had at Roots Hall since SVC.

The problem with your Freddy arguments is that his sheer stats - 59 goals in 130 appearances, or almost a goal every other game - just make you look a bit unbalanced when, on most things - e.g. Maher, Barrett - you're mostly right.

* * *

As for Bilel - he's not the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy. He's also quite intriguing and enchanting, and there could be a good player there if we can sort his head out. But that's a big if. But he's, potentially, a heck of a footballer - tall, fast, good in the air, good in the deck. And if you can't enjoy his sheer schoolboy enthusiasm, you ought to be checking for a pulse.

But do I think he's the best thing since sliced bread (or, in the defending deparment, Spinner)? No.

Matt, don't get me wrong. I would LOVE him to make the grade. As someone thrown in up front with 20 minutes to go he can terrorise the bejeezus out of tired defenders. As a central defender at the moment, no thanks. We have three better natural centre-backs plus Prosser. Farm him out to the conference for 3 months with a no-nonsense gaffer in a club full of old ex pros that won't take any fun and games.

I also won't deny that he gets the fans buzzing and no-one jumped higher than me on the first goal of the season. I still can't buy into the adulation and euphoria. Difference between him and Barrett is age and potential. He has had enough time. Now he has to show it, show some maturity or get out. We're not in the luxurious position of carrying players. Had enough of that under Tilly with Che Wilson !
