Nathan Cartman
Nathan Cartman
Apparently his family don't like watching him play for Darlo because of all the abuse he gets from certain sections of the crowd.
Pathetic form from the usual suspects who think they know everything about football.

Total agreement, Vicki and the two little ones travel to every game and are a pleasure to see at the games. It would be a crying shame if they stopped coming because of the morons

Re: Nathan Cartman
These idiots should be ashamed with themselves.
Re: Nathan Cartman
You just know who these people are too, they are always at it. Usually their mouths are as big as their waistlines which takes some doing in most cases.
Re: Nathan Cartman
Come on guys, only criticise the players who's families aren't at the game.
Seriously though, mountain out of a molehill.
Morons? It's football not church.

Rubbish, there is criticism and theres downright abuse. The players or their families should not have to put up with it.

Re: Nathan Cartman
We criticise far too easily and expect players to be pretty much top form every game.
Our fans have a professional, full time job attitude of the players generally, not saying some stick, moans, groans at times are not deserved now and again but as a group of fans we do it far too easy.
Partly caused by the number of supporters we have as opposed to much smaller fan based clubs with lower expectations.

No I'm not kidding because I have heard first hand some of the crap coming out the mouths of certain people who follow the club.

It won't be a mountain out of a molehill then.

This is normal at any club. Ok maybe it didn't happen at Harrogate where he could high five all 8 fans without any pressure.loan_star wrote:No I'm not kidding because I have heard first hand some of the crap coming out the mouths of certain people who follow the club.
I've heard no abuse at all.

Re: Nathan Cartman
Better get some hearing aids then. If you haven't heard anything then you obviously must be hard of hearing. Just try standing in the middle of the shed and say you don't hear some uncalled for abuse.Ingleby wrote:This is normal at any club.

I've heard plenty of encouragement mind. Keep going Nathan, head up Nathan.

Re: Nathan Cartman
Fucks sake, do you have to be so pedantic!! That was merely an example of where to stand if you want to hear some of the abuse. I'm not saying its only coming from there.

Hopefully the individuals concerned will now be ashamed of their behaviour and think twice before opening their gobs.

Re: Nathan Cartman
The families bit is irrelevant in one sense although understandable. I just don't see the logic in slating Cartman when he was actually getting into decent spaces. Personally, having witnessed the unjustified and frankly targeted crap meted out to Clark Keltie over many years, I don't really want to see another pantomime villain Individual players can rarely be blamed for below par team performances. I've heard a lot of ill informed criticism in my time but today even made me go cold.
Those who have played this game at any level know it is not easy. Strikers more than anybody can suffer lapses of confidence. I'd rather listen to Billy Miller and Martin Gray who can't speak more highly of the lad.

Re: Nathan Cartman
Hopefully the early substitution of him and Armstrong today is because they'll be starting on Monday. I'd love Nathan to score a couple, off his backside, his kneecap, his nostril, anything. He seems to be a real confidence player and judging by his demeanour over the last few weeks he looks mortified with himself.
I genuinely think that if he could get a little run going it could well be the catalyst we need to crack on and win the league. You don't score thirty odd goals in this league without being a damn good player.

Re: Nathan Cartman
Without bring funny, and I don't slate anyone at games (bar an odd whinge) regardless of whether they have full time 'real' jobs these guys are getting paid to play football in front of us. They know they will get stick, and a measure of abuse, and Cartman isn't getting any where. I stand so it isn't rife and heard all over the ground!. Every football club with a reasonable level of support has some fans who will throw unwarranted abuse, if the players never want to hear it about them then thru should choose the club's with no ambition. This doesn't make it right by any stretch, but when people are spending 60 quid plus to go and watch our level of football you are going to find patience runs thin very quickly when a perceived superstar has 1 goal to his name from open play.
Re: Nathan Cartman
Should be water off a ducks back and as people have said, comes with the territory.
Ultimately he will either come good or continue his relative drought. He knows how good he is and so should his family and the stick shouldn't matter. Let's just hope it's not at the cost of the title.

"Perceived superstar" - are you for real?
He hasn't given himself that tag - it's the same brain-dead arseholes who abuse him who did that.
He's working his backside off and genuinely cares. There is no excuse for shouting any abuse at him.

But he's not. He's a part-timer who's used to quiet little grounds played in near silence.
Like it or not, that will take time to get used to; so it won't be "water off a duck's back."

Glad you agree that the fault lies with some fans having unrealistic expectations.
Shame you won't condemn those who abuse him though. Instead you'd rather give them excuses.

Re: Nathan Cartman
Look, regardless of what level you play at, when you come into a club with a big reputation and for a big fee (relatively speaking) there is going to be a certain level of expectancy. For whatever reason he's not lived up to that expectation so far, unfortunately rightly or wrongly there is going to be some level of criticism, which is only magnified by the position we find ourselves in.

Read my original reply again.
"He hasn't given himself that tag - it's the same brain-dead arseholes who abuse him who did that."
The second part of that sentence shows quite clearly who I'm saying view him as "superstar." The brain-dead arseholes - not you or Cartman.
For the avoidance of doubt, the "brain-dead arseholes" are the fans who think he should be banging in hat-tricks every week, and abuse him when he doesn't.
So you see, I wasn't attributing it to you. Your little sweary temper tantrum was all a bit silly and unnecessary.
