ericofarabia Posted 26 November, 2011 Share Posted 26 November, 2011 He's only gone to Sheff Utd so that he can pretend to be wearing the mighty Saints Red and White. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have put out any stories about snubbing Saints - jounalistic artistic licence just to make it a story. Good luck to him at Sheff Utd, at least he's going somewhere where he had happy times and the fans will hopefully give hima bit of time to get up to match fitness.

trousers Posted 26 November, 2011 Share Posted 26 November, 2011 ...according to the Sun in this article. Apologies if already posted, but I was under the impression we weren't interested. Just read that article. The headline "Beattie Snubbed Southampton" bears no resemblence to the quotes from Beattie in the article. I thought they scrapped the journalist YTS scheme decades ago...? I believe the correct phrase is: "Move on, nothing to see here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulstersaint Posted 26 November, 2011 Share Posted 26 November, 2011 Anyone who believes the content of the Sun needs their head examined. Listen to the current Leveson Inquiry and realise that journalists make things up! Classic this week when Gordon Taylor's phone was hacked. The message to GT hacked was a young female voice saying - "Gordon you were wonderful yesterday!" And you can imagine what the journos made of that. The truth is, the young lady was phoning to thank Gordon Taylor for speaking at her father's funeral the previous day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graffito Posted 26 November, 2011 Share Posted 26 November, 2011 The Sun missed out from the headline a small preposition between "snubbed" and "Southampton. The headline should have read "Beattie snubbed by Southampton" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsacar saint Posted 27 November, 2011 Share Posted 27 November, 2011 For four seasons his goal scoring and overall commitment were magnificent. He probably did have a big ego,but his value to the club in his prime footballing years should never be under estimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 Sounds like a combination of sour grapes and a complete lack of interest in a player who is League 1 standard at best. Why would we want him? He's simply not good enough for the Premiership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottery st mary Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 He snubbed us after we snubbed him.........Saints had/have other irons in the fire.. Beatts hopefullly will get fitter at Shefffield than he would have done training with Doddsy at the yuf... Thanks for the memories and let us all move on..... Now for this prospect Messi up front for the mighty Saints... WIFM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
