Saint Charlie Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 Thought Jos did well today but to lighten the mood what is your favourite Jos howler in a Saints shirt? I thought the Newcastle away one this season was high up on the howler scale, as was Fulham at home last season.
Lighthouse Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 Wow, you've really got it in for Jos. How about favourite Clyne, Wanyama or Shaw howler? They've had just as many, without the misfortune of being 6 yards in front of goal.
Barry Sanchez Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 Its not my favourite but its the bit where he signs for us and calls himself a defender, we signed a defender from the SPL, that is amusing but the joke is on like rather like the Ali Dia effort.

Chez Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 Exactly the sort of thread a skate would start. Are you a ****ing skate Saint Charlie?
Barry Sanchez Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 He's a damn sight better than you! Sweet lets get him in the starting XI for a professional football team......................
ART Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 Exactly the sort of thread a skate would start. Are you a ****ing skate Saint Charlie? He certainly has divided loyalties where Saints are concerned with his heart very much Cherry Red. Never seen it posted but until Hooivelt moved to Celtic he played at left back. Even at Celtic he played often as a left sided midfielder.
melmacian_saint Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 Unnecessary. Like Fox, no shame in not being good enough. Rather have him around than Osvaldo headbutting anyone who dares to dispossess him and playing Billy Big ******** with the rest of his teammates. Having said this, I did not expect him to start again for us and not in a game like this. Our defensive line was left shattered way too many times by his aimless midfield incursions to sweep the ball away that just ended up with the whole of defense compensating for him while he was too slow coming back. Being honest, he was a loan signing in the CCC and back then we just seemed to want to get over the promotion line as the short-termism of our signings from that season except for Cork show. Should we not have signed him permanently? After all he had been unsuccessful at Celtic who aren't in a better league than us and probably aren't a better team. The loan was going well so maybe a simple extension to the end of the season would've been enough. Then again we desperately needed a CB on the books so it was sensible to go for a guy that was doing fine even if his performances were hyped by his goal-scoring rather than mainly by his defensive ability. We're now in a difficult position where his value is not high enough to sell him on, nor any club at his ability level will be prepared to pay his wages as it stands. Given he was successful in Scandinavia we could source there but really how many clubs could take him on? FC Copenhagen (he was there on loan but they didn't keep him in the end)? Any Dutch club (he never really had a good season or reputation at home)? Quite hard and I'm afraid even a loan will be difficult to find.
SuperMikey Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 Jos did well for us in the Championship and is a nice bloke and a good influence within the group. He's not the most talented player, but he's 4th choice CB for us and he's good enough for that role. He'll probably move on in the summer, but he's done well for us to this point (despite some howlers along the way, yes) and doesn't deserve half the **** he gets - same as the likes of Guly.

Never seen it posted but until Hooivelt moved to Celtic he played at left back. Even at Celtic he played often as a left sided midfielder. He would be hilarious to watch as a left mid. Only played a handful of games at Celtic though and never played in midfield for them!
cellone Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 This thread seems akin to Glasgow starting a happy birthday Guly thread.
Sour Mash Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 Felt sorry for Hooiveld at the end of the game, seemed to take the criticism from the fans personally, certainly not how it was intended from those around me.
GAS Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 He's one of those players you just like despite his howlers. Just out of his depth in the prem. No shame in that. Shame on MP for not playing Fonte.
Lighthouse Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 He's one of those players you just like despite his howlers. Just out of his depth in the prem. No shame in that. Shame on MP for not playing Fonte. In what way was Jos to blame for today's result?
Graffito Posted 15 February, 2014 Posted 15 February, 2014 What's the point of this thread? Hooiveld's a second string CB. He knows that. He's given us good service and helped get us to the PL. He probably won't be here next season. He actually played quite well today. Why take the p*ss?
GAS Posted 16 February, 2014 Posted 16 February, 2014 In what way was Jos to blame for today's result?Can you read? Where did I say he was to blame for today's result. Your mis-understanding of a simple sentence is beyond comprehension. I'm responding to the post not todays game.

I wasn't ashamed of Jos today, just the dismal display of apathy by the manager and team in general.

paulwantsapint Posted 16 February, 2014 Posted 16 February, 2014 Forget jos' mistakes remember the goals & the arial battles he won When maya came in Jos lost his place due to injury there wasn't much to chose between him & Fonte
Chez Posted 16 February, 2014 Posted 16 February, 2014 Felt sorry for Hooiveld at the end of the game, seemed to take the criticism from the fans personally, certainly not how it was intended from those around me. Some who attended blame him for the goal. Seats are a long way back, but my guess is that it's preconceived opinions that led to them thinking it was a 6 foot 4 bearded swede that passed it straight to an opponent 30 yards from goal or dangled a leg at Gardner rather than Maya and Wanyama.

Dutchman
Saint_Tony Posted 16 February, 2014 Posted 16 February, 2014 He won the ball yesterday before the goal, it was a half hearted attempt by Wanyama (who was the worst player on the pitch yesterday) that causes the goal. I prefer to focus on my favourite Jos moment being the goal against West Ham at home. That was the night I realised promotion was a definite possibility. He's a great guy, but out of his depth at this level. He could certainly do a decent job for a Championship side for a few years
melmacian_saint Posted 16 February, 2014 Posted 16 February, 2014 Forget jos' mistakes remember the goals & the arial battles he won When maya came in Jos lost his place due to injury there wasn't much to chose between him & Fonte Well that is not true. And he only got back into the side because of a long-term injury to Fonte.
Charlie Wayman Posted 16 February, 2014 Posted 16 February, 2014 I love Jos, he must be worth his weight in gold in the dressing room, keeping spirits up and most importantly helping keep the young lads' feet on the ground. He did a good job yesterday and the goal was not his fault. People like you OP should get off his back and stop writing utter bilge like this thread title.
david in sweden Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 How about a mention for his best contribution to our success......? I'd suggest the two League games v. West Ham in our Championship season. He scored the only goal in the home game (1-0)...which gave us the three points.....and another goal in the 1-1 draw at Upton Park. FOUR points that made a lot of difference at the end of the season, as we got an automatic place and WHam had to endure the play-offs.
Saint Charlie Posted 18 February, 2014 Author Posted 18 February, 2014 Scored a vital second goal away to Hull in the Champo season too. Had a really good consistent spell that year. Was certainly better than Fonte for large periods.
