Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/10699552.Kevin_Phillips__I_shouldn_t_have_celebrated_my_winner_at_St_Mary_s/?ref=mr Kevin Phillips trying to make amends again. Will probably be his last game at SMS and I, for one, always appreciated his effort whilst here. Should we let bygones be bygones and give him a warm send off? If we can do it for Michael Owen surely we can do it for someone who played for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 In all honesty, the negativity that was directed towards him over the comments he made when he left us was pretty embarrassing. I didn't feel there was anything wrong in what he said as he was just being honest, but some fans are clearly over-sensitive about it. He was a good player for us IMO. I hope he gets a good reception this weekend in recognition of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't feel there was anything wrong in what he said as he was just being honest, but some fans are clearly over-sensitive about it. He was a good player for us IMO. I hope he gets a good reception this weekend in recognition of that. I agree, he scored some cracking goals for us - Leicester on his debut, Utd and City away. A couple of quotes where taken well out of context when he left and some fans have been on his back ever since. The hatred generated towards him puzzles me really...

notnowcato Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 For all the "advice" he's received from sections of our fans I don't blame SKP at all for his reaction. Top pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 I don't get all this no celebration of goals. I just about get it if you're a legend, maybe if Rickie returned, but journeymen like Phillips who was just a player passing through. He's rewriting history here, he couldn't wait to get away. Let's give him plenty of clog and he should stop being a soft **** and rub our noses in it if he scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 I will certainly give him a good reception if he comes on...as will I'm sure my Sunderland supporting mate who is coming to the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isla Wight Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 Phillips has been a great pro and to still be playing in the premier league is a fantastic achievement . I loved watching him when he was a Saints player - always thought we had a chance of a goal with him in the side. I for one will give him a great reception.

Fan The Flames Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 The reaction by some fans was completely Brightonesque. I don't think he should apologise for celebrating, this non celebration thing has gone too far. He came, he scored, he went. Whilst the wife's phone seller scored, came and went.

Dellman Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 He was with us in our declining years when everyone under performed and we had crap managers, 'arry even left him on the bench as relegation approached so I'm not surprised if he has bad memories of those years, so do I.

orchardsaint Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 i liked him and it wouldn't bother me if he celebrated scoring, i also would welcome him scoring, if we win, obviously. even when someone like beattie, who was with us longer, scored more goals, and generally did more for us, found it difficult not to celebrate when he came back and scored.

sammysaint Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 I liked his work ethic and goals he scored for us, and to be fair he scored our only goal in uefa cup as well for god knows how many years. Hope we dont boo him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 I'm embarrassed by those who are embarrassed by other supporters. Personally, he might get a clap from me if he comes on. Depends on my mood. Won't boo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bender Posted 28 September, 2013 Share Posted 28 September, 2013 So what exactly were his comments when he left for Villa? I remember the OS had an article saying that he left for Villa with a parting swipe. They also went on to mention that after the relegation defeat to Manure he quickly ran off down the tunnel without even clapping the fans or saying goodbye. But why would he regret celebrating that goal for Brum against us? When he came on as a sub that day, the second he appeared on the touchline, the Northam were singing "stand up if youve sh agged his wife" His first touch was to lay it off to the wing, his second was to score.

He doesn't, he's probably just a bit two-faced. I think the comments he made were nothing more than "Southampton never felt like the right move, but it had to be done" or some such. Maybe we were the only choice and he didn't want to play in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bender Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 Basically the whole ground clapped him. There were a few songs of 'stand up if you .............' by a few in the side stand next to the away fans and a few in the Northam. All in all thats the best reception weve given him since he's come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelpie Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 He clapped Saints fans as he came off and the crowd applauded him. Probably the last time he will play on our turf and a fitting finale, even though he hardly touched the ball during this game. Let's remember the goals he scored for us.

Appy Posted 29 September, 2013 Share Posted 29 September, 2013 Scored a winning goal against the Skates, so i'll always have a soft spot for him, the chants in the Northam were so cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
