The Chris Gunter appreciation thread

[Hendo]

On the flip side to that, he has played his part in getting those managers the sack.

In that case, so has every player who has regularly played for the club/played for Wales....

You miss the point-Gunter is the constant factor here-he is the only player to be a regular during that time and all of our managers (apart from one hanging on by a thread) have been sacked.

So is Gareth McCleary.

Would you then say that Adam Federici played a part in getting Rodgers, McDermott (twice), Atkins and Clarke sacked just because he was a consistent member of the team throughout their managerial periods?

Yes.

Well then you have proved my point.

You could say that any player who has played for more than one manager at a club has contributed to them getting sacked, which applies to all football clubs and all players no matter the standard of the club or player, the majority of managers get sacked eventually. It is not a specific Chris Gunter criticism.

Absolutely and dear old Chris has played a big part in the fortunes of 4 of them.

[Zip]

Victor. What are you banging on about? For a start the last two Wales managers were not sacked. So what if Gunter was a consistent member of the Reading and Wales squads. Your obsession with Gunter is unhealthy sir.

[Hendo]

Yes.

Yep, because one right back who has been nothing more or less than a consistent performer has played a big part in getting managers sacked. DeLOLuded

Yes, consistently moderate to poor and has dragged the managers down with him.
Obviously not on his own of course but he has played a big part.

[Hendo]

I'm done with this. You are obviously set in your option of CG and no argument can open your eyes to reason.

[holsgrove breaks a leg]

Model pro which cannot be ignored .however file under a reading player with close to 300 appearances and in hindsight what did he bring to the team in terms of defensive ability and any noted successes? I would say Andy Griffin played a bigger role in his shorter time here, our results picked up upon his arrival and (minus playoff defeat v swansea) his defensive performances were admirable before age and injury caught up in the promo season.

You play as team and lose as a team. This season, he is one of very few who can hold there head up and say their performances have not been a factor in the league position.
Some goals could have be prevented by cutting out the cross, but thats why we have CBs in there and a defensive mid to follow the runners from midfield.

When did reason ever come into internet discussion topics? .
Like a lot of youngsters you seem to be of the opinion that there has to be a definitive answer or result.
As I see it, a poster starts a topic and other posters chip in with their own feelings-the common factor being that we are fans of the same club even if some of those that shout loudest are those that don't go to games.

The interesting aspect is in gleaning what other fans of our club think and if their views tie-in with our own.
Not many I suspect will change their minds.
Hob-Nob started off as a bit of fun but over the years has become rather too serious IMHO which is a shame.

This is supposed to be a Gunter appreciation thread. It's not really on to criticise Gunter on it and if people can't say something nice about him without throwing in a criticism, they should say nothing at all.

Equally, it's sad that those who want to appreciate him and be positive can't restrain themselves from engaging with those people incapable of respecting the purpose of the thread and thereby help derail it further.

If you want to argue the merits of Gunter, there are plenty of other threads to do it on. But please, have some respect for the person who created this thread, it's intent and the way the vast majority have engaged with it.

Just because you disagree with something, doesn't mean you have to wade in on it. (Lol)

Ian, when did you appoint yourself as a mod?

Ian, I think I must have missed it but when did you self appoint as a mod?

I believe it’s an automatic award given on reaching 50,000 posts.

I don’t think Ian realises who the OP is.

The resident oxf*rd know it all has spoken. All bow down to the astute opinions of Ian...

Back on topic, Gunter> top fella and decent performer compared to most of the squad.

I'd agree Gunter's more like a supporter than a player. He certainly looks like he doesn't know what to do on the pitch.
