Leeds Ram Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 i personally am not a massive fan of theo and am not convinced that he should be starting, however he always tries and for that alone he does not even remotely deserve the abuse he is getting from ****** using twitter as an open abuse site. He seems like a nice lad and not arrogant which many are when they are in his position. People who abuse footballers via twitter need to get a life and realise how hurtful those words can be despite them only being typed behind a keyboard, they also need some real human interaction.

Leicester Ram Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 he's more of an athlete than a footballer but there's room for improvement. he could be an amazing player but he's just not a footballer. a stopgap at best until tyson is up and running.

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Theo is one of the young lads who were brought in to develop and be used sparingly. Not his fault at all that the first choice has so far shown up for what 15 minutes? He's probably ahead of where Nigel expected him to be and given he's keeping plugging away in the face of quite warranted hostility is commendable in my view. And i want him to stay and develop as far as possible (quite how far that may be is quite a wide range judging by the better informed debate). People dishing it out on Twitter/Forums are SUCH bell-ends.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 TBF he shouldn't really be anywhere near the squad yet, the fact that he is is one of the reasons why we lost 4-0 yesterday, Leicester's 4th choice striker is better than all ours put together.

Duracell Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Theo scares defences in this league, Barnsley and Milwall were all over the place. Bamba and Mills are a cut above any CB partnership in the league - it's going to take more than Theo Robinson to worry them. The guy's not going to be facing centre halves of that ilk every week.

Not really much of a surprise, is it? Leicester can pick and choose any striker they like from the bottom half of the top flight downwards.

Can anyone think of a better 21 year old striker for £200k? spot on mate well corrected (and there was i talking about b***-ends). to answer your question directly no I can't...especially when i remind myself we blew 300k+ on Derek Hales in 1977, which when inflation adjusted would give...well....er, a biggish number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliRam Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Shocking. Absolutely shocking. I really don't understand the barrage of abuse he's getting - if you want to abuse derby players and lay in to them on twitter at least say you're a forest fan. I understand people wanting to vent their frustrations, but you don't have to address players directly. Props to theo - he's stayed pretty classy over the whole thing. He had a stinker against leicester but the effort's always there with him and he's had a few quality performances of late. i'm certainly happy to see him in the squad.

Perky1106 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 People are forgetting that he is 22 ffs. If he was scoring even as many goals as Steve Davies he'd be playing for a Premier League club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Anybody seen the abuse Theo's been getting on Twitter after the Barnsley game? It's shockin, heres a few examples: [url=http://twitter.com/#!/TomDavies88]TomDavies88 [size=3]Tom Davies[/size] [url=http://twitter.com/#!/theorobinson09]@theorobinson09 How have you even made it as a footballer? you've got pace..

Theo actually re-tweeted these and it prompted him to say [url=http://twitter.com/#!/theorobinson09]theorobinson09 [size=3]Theo Robinson[/size] What a beautiful day going to chill with family food n chin wag,to the real positive ppl [url=http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23thumbs]#thumbs up ! Negative makes me stronger! --- Seriously, I feel bad for the lad. I don't think he deserves it, he had one half bad game ffs. What do people think? Anyone think this Tom Davies guys a tw/\t? I went to school with this lad.....he can be a bit of a div!!! lol Probably just doing it for laughs of his friends!!!

AndyB Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Theo's getting more abuse on twitter. One said "get out of our club" another said "you shouldn't be watching telly you should be practicing your first touch you clown". Undeserved.

Éire Ram Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The first touch comment is a fair point but I'm sure he knows that already. He has progressed a lot since he came here and people should get behind him and congratulate him for that, but the pitch forks are out after the Hull result and cretins like the one that said "get out of our club" are one of many that, unfortunately, point their anger at the wrong target.

-JW- Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 They're not real supporters, theo's won a lot of fans over lately including me and he showed some good touches yesterday before he went off, those tw@ts should lay off him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
