Opinions differ but the question is if it really should differ. If you disregard any non-footballing reasons like looks, hairstyle, tattoos etc. and just try to evaluate the player purely based on footballing reasons it shouldn't be that big of a gap in opinions. My theory is that most football fans don't really understand roles and responsibilities of the different team formations and are not trained enough to be able to do a proper analysis of a game. For example. most fans tend to just follow the ball and don't really see what's happening off the ball.
The Osborn haters will probably argue that he was the worst player on the pitch against Leeds and that his goal was just pure luck :D
Wow GB I do find that post a touch patronising. Whoever bases their thoughts on a player by their looks? Where has that come from.
The majority of fans I know base their thoughts on the whole game not just ball watching.
I know of no Forest Fans who 'hate' a player they might not rate them but 'hate' is a very harsh word to use. I certainly would never say I hated anyone in a Red Shirt.
I see what you mean and I apologize if I have offended anybody but when somebody writes that "I don’t rate Osborn one bit and never have done" I just have to comment. I fully recognize that this is this person's opinion but to me that statement can hardly be backed by any football related reasons.
Probably like yourself I’ve seen a lot of football over the years, been a season ticket holder for many years and go away very often So I like to think I do know a little bit about football. But why should you presume why I don’t rate him. I don’t rate him because I don’t think he’s a very intelligent footballer in the slightest and if we’re to move on to that next level then we should be looking to move players like him on.
You’re a fully signed up member of the Ben Osborn fan club, good for you pal and well done. But we all see things differently I think you need to remember that before you get all patronising as to why someone might see things differently to yourself.
See your point. Players who can easily slot into 4 or 5 different positions/roles on the pitch tend to have less football intelligence than other. Good observation :D
Seriously, I have no problem with other people having a different view than mine regarding a player but I do expect them to be able to argue their case based on football related reasons.
