Billy Sharp ' Saints deal wasn't right'

[ant]

No, common sense prevailed on this occasion.

That puts everything else in to perspective, awful news - sympathy to him and his family and respect for his strength in playing last night.

 

I'm really please he got to dedicate that goal to his son.

[Viking Warrior]

very sad, just goes to show you cannot believe rumours . He was left out becuase he was leaving donny. I bet te donny fans who spouted that rumour are feeling very proud of themselves Knobs

Fair play to the ref on this occassion. I'm sure some jobsworths would have booked him.

 

Extremely sad news. Losing a new born baby is so heart-wrenching.

Poor sod. My condolences to him and his family. Pleased for him that he scored.

[Under Weststand]

Don't quite know how he managed to play last night so soon after what happened to him & his family. But a big hand to him & the Ref for showing common sense in not booking him. Great for him to score like that for his little boy.

RIP to his son and fair play to billy for playing, his attidue and his passion as well as his talent is why i would love him here at st marys, i feel now though he may stay at donny till the end of the season after this sad story, seems as though they are showing all the support he deserves at this time in his life.

Very sad news and fair play for playing and scoring so soon after the event

I'm sure some jobsworths would have booked him.

I wonder if some jobsworth will punish the ref for using common sense over FIFA rules? Certainly hope not.

"A goal from heaven" was the headline that attracted me to the article and the news.

 

How terribly sad. Total respect to Billy and of course my condolences at such a sad loss.

 

A second article summed it up very well.

Strip away the nonsense and the agents and the leverage deals and the player unrest and petty name calling and football is still, it seems, a sport of the people. And some good people. Like Billy Sharp. Whose boots Carlos Tévez isn't fit to clean.

Well that's a different tune.

 

I expect to see him in the Red and White stripes come January

[skintsaint]

I dont think we will move for him, isnt Maynards contract up this summer? If anything we would probably move in for him at a cut price deal tbh.

[SuperSAINT]

I assume we matched this clause when we bid for him?

3.25 million and reportedly yes, that's why he was in talks with us as Doncaster had no desire to see him move on but had to allow him to have talks. Sharp didn't seem in any hurry to move either though.
