No us tiny minority don't understand why he was being played at right wing back when we had Pipe and Reid on the bench , or why he was chosen in front of Dolan in midfield, then he had a poor game but played the full 90 , or left wingback and Butler was sat on the bench when in our opinion he didnt warrant or proved to be good enough in the positions. He played because MF altered the formation or dropped better players to get him in the side week after week. how long did Sheehan have to wait to get game time ? He was saying he was fit and needed game time to build up his fitness but many games he was left on the bench whilst Willmott got a full game eve if he was having a 'mare'
Ok he had a 'purple patch' when the 'glamorous games ' against Leeds and Spurs but how many 'run of the mill League games' did he play in that he was poor, but still kept getting picked. Who knows , with a full 11 v 11 we may have got into the play offs
Thats what you fail to grasp bt think the way to win your argument is to name call or belittle other fans views
And yes if Labadie had been fit MF would still have had him in the side at the expense of other players who were better suited to the role

I will reply to what you have just written in stages. The one I will reply to first is. You say that you have been playing football for over 50 years how is that possible. When according to your profile on here you are 49 years old?

Neil didn't say he'd been playing football for over 50 years.

I'd argue - spelt out on another thread - that them shoving us out would amount to cutting off their own nose to spite their face.

Anyone who has ever had a lodger knows that when you don't need their rent to pay your mortgage you're just glad to see the back of them.

What you simply do not understand is that we did not have to rely on playing RW out of position because we had better players than him in those positions that were on the bench. Simple.
IF we needed him to play out of position then fair enough, but we didn't.

Taunton Iron Cider wrote:The City Council have set a precedent by selling Somerton Park for housing and profit, this on the basis of the previous tenant having gone bust and there being no further demand. So here is another potential scenario.

The WRU has purchased a stadium for a knockdown price of £3m, but for other commercial uses the site has a potential value of £9m plus. Two occupiers justify the continuing existence of RP, namely the Dragons and Newport County. The former is totally controlled by the WRU, and if current speculation is correct, the franchise could easily be moved to North Wales.

That leaves Newport County and a problem of how to deal with them, because as long as they wish to stay at RP obtaining planning for other uses will be more difficult to obtain. Legally they have a right to remain but because the agreement was badly written, opportunities exist to turn the financial screw and make occupancy uneconomic for them.

County move out, Dragons move out, WRU trouser £6m aided and abetted by a pathetic City Council.

Of course this will never happen, or could it??

And with your own future enjoyment of the place totally dependent on a planning authority which might feel its own best interests were served by the tenant staying and eventually taking on shared ownership.
