Salford Till I Die:32215.jpg



Could not believe the abuse Rob Parker received tonight.He is already becoming the scapegoat for the season just as Luke Dorn was two years ago. Parker has been trusted with the near impossible role of taking over the captaincy from Alker. His performances have been solid and do not warrant the torrent of boos from the mindless scum at the top of the shed. Alker has of course been a fantastic servant and captain and I am a massive fan of his professionalism and heart. Parker is still adapting to the club, playing 80 mins, being the new captain and living in the shadow of one of the most loved players in srlfcs history. Rob Parker has a massive heart and will be doing his best as captain...but that heart will be destroyed very quickly if the fans turn on him. The appointment was out of his hands and I'm sure he instinctively leapt at the chance to captain the club....wouldn't you ?

Quite agree with the original poster, Rob Parker's been given a real rod for his own back & the main reason he's been saddled with it is that he was one of the few who didn't get involved in the nonsense that was Florida. What bugs me is that most of the muppets who are booing him were the same ones slagging off Alker last year, you lot are beyond pathetic.

eusa_clap.gif at last.I was embarrasing listening to some shouting we want our captain back....when he is the cause of the problems in the first place.

Irrespective of the trouble he caused in Florida..he was not man enough to accept his punishment and is now still bleating about it .

For Gods sake lay off Rob Parker.

Last night we failed again as a team and not one player should be singled out for last nights woeful performance.

I feel it's going to get worse in the next few weeks but come on this is Salford City Reds we've seen all this before.

Looking back to last night game the only player I felt for was young Stefan Ratchford stuck out on the wing, but knowing Stefan he will not let anything get to him.

Loads to look forward to down at the Willows.............

But I'm afraid not in the short term.....COME ON SALFORD CITY REDS.

I'd say Smith was odds on fave for that at the moment.

As for the Parker situation fully agree that it's way out of order that he is getting abuse over the floridagate scandal. He's doing the best of a very crappy situation. Alker is clearly not giving up the reins easily as can be seen on the pitch. Parker deserves more respect than that IMO

San, well said Alker is still pulling the strings from behind the scene & it is clear the appointment of Parker he is being made scapegoat for all the trouble Alker caused pre-season.
Alker is by far the best play to put on red shirt this season & for many a year, but the club need to look quickly what effect all the trouble pre-season & him loosing the captaincy this season is effecting the team.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see this one is still rolling, the club needs to sort it out quickly, it is still the talk on the terrace.

Sometimes the club needs to be bold & no one man should be bigger than the club but this needs sorting & quickly.

If Alker is as loyal and faithful to the club as he says he is he needs to do more than just play well each week. Its time in my opinion for him to become a man and accept his punishment instead of acting like a spoilt child. He should be showing the other players he is 100% behind Parker instead of trying to prove he is a better captain than Parker. Help Parker out by all means as this is a new role for Rob but stop taking over every game. If as Alker says he loves our club surely he can see what damage is being done by having 2 captains on the field, the players loyalty is being divided and therefore performances on the field are being affected. Yes Alker stayed with us when he could have moved on and yes he has been a great servant for our club but once again he needs to prove his loyalty.

COME ON MAL TIME TO STAND UP AND PROVE YOURSELF. PUT THE DUMMY BACK IN AND GET ON WITH IT.

That in my opinion is not the answer as Mal appears to be one of our better players at the moment. It could also have the effect of splitting the camp even more with players loyalty being tested even further (and yes its possible it could go the other way). For me the answer is in Mals hands and he needs to sort it out now before its to late. Would hate to see him leave the Willows under a cloud like some other players who I will not name.
