Is it just me, or is everything that comes out of Robert Snodgrass' sensational mouth just what fans want to here.
This guy is so genuine as well.
Makes me proud to be Scottish, really

Oh, apparently, this was a response to Burnley rumours and not Boro rumours, as I originally thought.

He was good today! Worked very hard. And took a personal opportunity to slice down Hutton

LL, can you write something nice about the Glasweigan one in my threadie please ken?

Strange, i was just gonna start a "Could Snoddy make it in the Premiership" thread, i think he could in a year or two.

Always been a fan of snoddy noddy oggie!

Edit: G'night!

Kisnorbo is solid as fuck. He'd beat your whole county to a pulp in his sleep with his arms tied behind his back.

Re the first part of your post - I don't think ANYBODY would argue that Beckford is better than Snoddy! Snoddy is the most talented player in the squad. He has his off days and he needs to improve things too, but he works hard and he seems to have his head screwed on. Plus, he arselicks the fans which is always good.

Stop this. Now.

Should be the first and last time i say/type that, i was referring to a conversation me and smudge had in another thread

Oh aye!

He is shit, everyone knows that. But that fact aside, he is the type of hard working player I like and he's even shown his abilities against the Prem opposition so he should do well in the CCC (touchwood you decide you want to get promoted this season and start playing like it) and then some of the Prem clubs might take notice before too long.

Would he turn down a chance to play in the Prem...

He turned down barca for first team football with Livingston, so i would hope he'd stay, if tempted.

re: snoddy - lately he's not been as good, and looking tired. listening to the latest SB podcast, they suggest that he he doing the running for the likes of doyle, howson and mcsheffrey. i kinda agree with this, although i hadn't picked up on it until i heard them say it - what do you guys think?

well done to him for that, how long ago was it? I reckon if he did really well in the CCC he might be good enough to get regular football at a lower Prem club. Although that might depend on how well you can do for the first half of next season in the CCC.

AWOL by the looks of it, probably uni stuff. I'm only covering in the Leeds forum till she comes back.

I think he's playing well at the minute, but he does look to be tiring. I wouldn't say he's doing the running for the players mentioned, his workrate has always been excellent.

He was probably one of our better performers last night, but ran out of ideas towards the end. a lot of the time there were no options, and others he went for a shot, which was subsiquently blocked, when he should've looked for the pass.

Didnt realise hes only 23, this lads got time to get a lot better. Bound to be in the Scotland squad at some point, he was unlucky last time to get the injury.

What sort of thick question is that? If I was playing in League One for Leeds, I'd jump shark for the Premiership no questions asked and depending on the circumstances, I'd be harshly critical of anyone who would say otherwise.

And the Barca thing...blown out of proportion. He was invited, along with loads of other unknown kids from the Euros that year, to train in Barcelona. He didn't turn down a deal or trial as the papers have suggested. He's admitted himself that it was a bit of a free for all that loads of people were invited to attend and he didn't want to go because he'd just got his girlfriend up the tap and was feeling sorry for himself.

And not wanting to nitpick (but I've been away for a while) - he's 22, not 23 till next season. A lot of people feel he looks much older, probably because he's got big shoulders, bad posture and normally forgets to shave.

He's 23

Oi its a good question, Delphino brazilian wonderkid of league one at leeds - Del who at villa.

And dont nitpick hes a caveman looking shitty 23 year old with epic footballing skills.


Fact!

Er.....as I said, anyone would make the decision, as Delph did.
Snodgrass would do the same. Beckford would do the same. Kilkenny would do the same. Anyone would do the same.






He's 22.

But if it was a big risk at stalling his career he might not, he got a international call-up when playing in L1 ffs! He could go Prem and hardly get a full game then he wouldnt be called up for Scotland.

and...



he is 23!

Oh shut up, you know you were talking about his age.

To be fair, if he was on the books of a half decent Prem club, he'd still probs get called up for Scotland...it's Scotland, ffs!

lol you shut up I dunno how old the mofo is

and lmfao innit, theyre all the same to me its like Wales and N.Ireland calling up all them average players, he has best chance in the CCC cos its not the best league so he can rip it, but its not a shit league so he will get rated for doing stuff in that league.

He got a scotland call up this season, but couldn't go as he got injured the day of the call up

I know I mentioned it already as a reason for him to stay as he might get called up again even while in L1/CCC

Warrant issued for Snoddy's arrest because he ddn't turn up to court in Glasgow re: stopping on a Pelican crossing in Glasgow in February of last year. It was Monday so he was probably in training.

Good boy Snoddy - side before self, everytime. Good honest Scottish lad

Turns out he actually missed two invitationals.

Oh well, it's not like he's the most threatening criminal that Glasgow has to worry about.

Snodgrass has been called up to the Scotland squad for the game against Northern Ireland.

good luck to him hopefully he takes his chance

You didn't put this in the Snodgrass thread? Prepare to feel her wrath!

didnt want to spend too much time going through a leeds forum

I know the feeling

I was delighted, it made my morning and it's very much deserved
No idea how they will use him if at all (but they better) but it will be interested to see him v George McCartney if he were to play on the right

MODS - please merge this into Snoddy's thread.

Yes Miss.

Didn't notice this! Jay, why didn't you merge it straight away when you CLEARLY knew that I was going to request it.

I wonder if he's been arrested yet.

I was waiting to see if you'd get angry first.

Maybe that's why he's been called up. So the police don't have to travel down to Leeds

Seriously though, well deserved call up.

Start of the season, he looked un-fit, because, well, he was. Took him a while to get back from his injury. he was our best player before his injury (pre season) but he's been getting better and better of late.


Oi! Oi! Oi!

A few people have dropped out of the Scotland squad - hopefully that means Snoddy will get in somewhere!

Lol naughty Snodgrass.



Watched a few Scotland games this season and last and it will be interesting to see what he can do in that side, guessing he'd be on the left or maybe the right.

They released the starting line-up and he's not in it! They are playing 4-5-1 as well.

To be totally honest, I can understand why Howson wouldn't start for the u21s but Snodgrass is excellent and better than players that are in that starting line-up. I'm really disappointed.

Our Snoddy got just over half an hour. He did OK! A couple of dodgy passes and lost possession on one or two occassions but he had two cracking shots on goal and also nutmegged Skellington Baird which was humorous.At first it didn't seem like the Scotland players wanted to him (jealously, of course) but he got more involved as the game went on.

Haha

He seemed to struggle a bit not due to lack of effort or being in the pace of the game (what pace Scotland looked like a team of Theo Walcotts compared to that lot) I think it was a matter of understanding, there were a lot of trials out there tactically I would guess and especially personnel wise. He was used in a utility position as expected also since he is in Scotlands eyes a possible choice but not first choice so his versatility is bound to mean he gets chucked left right and wherever. The main thing is he got on and while many have overlooked him in the most part the new manager has noticed him and that shows his (usually not bad) performances for Leeds wont go unnoticed. good luck Snodgrass! youre bound to be well in the setup once your team is back in the prem and youre smashing pens past the shit up there!

Snoddy was on Goals on Sunday earlier.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11096_6811284,00.html (link includes video)

Robert Snodgrass is determined to help Leeds regain their top-flight status and bring the glory days back to Elland Road.

The 23-year-old striker told Goals on Sunday how the passion and pride of Whites fans is inspiring Paul Grayson's squad to aim high and how he longs to fulfil a personal ambition and leave his mark on the Premier League.

"I said when I came down here that if I could do a quarter of what the Scottish people like Eddie Gray and Peter Lorimer have done in the past, it would be my dream come true," said Snodgrass.

"The fans travel week in, week out in their numbers; away from home feels like home games sometimes. It's up to us to go out there and try to pick up three points first and foremost but also to work as hard as we possibly can because otherwise we'd be conning the fans.

"When we were in League One and we'd speak to the fans they'd be like 'come on, let's get back to the Premier League' rather than the Championship; it just shows you what the mentality is of the Leeds fans. It's up to us as players and a group to get to that position.

"We don't have big names and I think that is why we are doing so well. The fans didn't expect a lot from us this year; staying in the league was the main aim.

"Pre-season went well and then we travelled to Norwich and I got a bad tackle; at first I expected to be out for six months but then we got the right outcome - that it was going to be six to eight weeks and that gives you something to drive towards.

"The way we play you get to express yourself and especially at a ground like Elland Road where the fans are willing you on with every touch you take."
Frustrating

Snodgrass, recently voted by some fans as Leeds' best signing since the club was last in the Premier League in an online poll, made his long-awaited international debut in the 3-0 Carling Nations Cup win over Northern Ireland in February.

Yet his chief focus remains on United's promotion campaign, which suffered another setback on Saturday when they were held to a 0-0 draw by Ipswich.

"We've been a wee bit unfortunate," said Snodgrass. "In the Barnsley game we conceded a couple of last-minute goals, which was hurtful.

"We could have won the Norwich game as well; it's all could-have-beens. There are going to be many twists and turns from now until the end of the season.

"It was another frustrating game yesterday; Ipswich made it difficult for us. We did as well as we possibly could but it wasn't to be.

"We want to try and win every home game; you need to try and make Elland Road a fortress and we did that last year for the first part of the season and then it slipped away. This year we've thrown away too many points.

"It's been drummed into the lads that we are going for second place and that's the way it will continue. Every game is tough - it is Cup finals from now until the end of the season."

He's a good lad

(He's packed himself into that shirt, however!!)

We've rejected a £3.5m offer from Norwich. TBH I hope that's the best they had available and they now continue to focus their attentions elsewhere. I don't want to sell Snoddy AT ALL but obviously, a stupid offer would clinch the deal if he wanted to go (which I don't think he does, and not to Norwich anyway!). A serious bid would be something like....double that figure, plus Hoolahan. Fuck off Delia.


BTW if we sell Snoddy Or Gradel then we are not serious about trying to get back to the Premiership.

The Premiership?

:-( I've lost it. This is too much.

lol@norwich

I dont expect this to be the end of the bidding but if his words mean anythign then his loyalty will show.

TBH if Bates wants the cash, he'll be gone whether he wants to or not.

I don't actually think he'll go to Norwich but I think other clubs will start to put in serious offers if we fail to state that he's not for sale. The statement on the OS suggests we might sell anybody.
