The guy was absolutely lethal at 6 in the 2017. Our greatest ever season. Let's not forget that
Correct, I only suggested a round of applause not build a statue or retire a shirt. I'm sure he'd have preferred to be out there playing, but why bother, when he can sit in the stands and give muppet's ammo to fire at him cause he's not playing. Yes I critised him and tbh I'm glad he's gone,in a playing sense as a player he was dead weight, he's a great guy and a few of his finest moments are a few of my favourite cas memories.
Calling people names just because they offered a different opinion to yours. Classic!!!
So to be clear, you whine about "todays society" because someone wants to show a bit of respect for someone who has served this club well for 4 years, but you're offended because you think someone thinking you're a muppet is "calling people names"...

Ok.
Learn to read matey. Where did I say I was offended??? Where was o specifically referred to as a muppet??? I was merely pointing out that resorting to name calling because someone has a different opinion is childish.

The fact you felt the need to post about it all demonstrated your taking offence, and his reference to "muppets" was clearly aimed at you and other people like you. See my reading ability is quite good - I can infer things without needing people to spell things out for me.

Don't flatter yourself. I take things on here with a pinch of salt. I am far from being one of those sensitive souls who “get offended” at everything. Enjoy your evening.

I don't mind holding my hands and saying this is a very good move by the club. Value for money wise, he's been terrible over the last 18 months. However I feel it's only fair and respectful, that the fans should be allowed to show their gratitude to him for his efforts. Id be very surprised and disappointed, if he's not a guest at the game tomorrow, in order for the fans to give him the send off he deserves .

I want to wish Benny and his family all the best for the future. I think it's the correct decision for all involved, no value for money at all over the last 12/18 months. However, on his day, he was superb. Shame there wasn't more of those days. Its easy to remember some of the good things in attack but let's not also forget how solid our right edge defence was with Benny at 6, he didn't miss many tackles. What we'd give now for a fully fit defensive right edge of Roberts, McMeeken, Webster, Minikin. I do hope he's at the game tonight so we can show our gratitude for his efforts.

I think that we should allow Ben Roberts to be the sponsor of the team moon boot

"Benny's Recovery Moon Boots. So comfortable - you won't want to take them off. I know I didn't. I liked them so much I bought the company" Available in all good pharmacists or on line.... 4 year lease deal available if your a bit on the fragile side.

Thought his flight home was on this Thursday 12th, but whenever it is, a safe flight home for him and his family.
I will remember his drop goal against Saints for a long time.
