I thought he was a good player for us.Yes. But I was never a fan of Bartley.
I liked Bartley when here before. His callenge on Brown and laughing in his face after it was brilliant.
This one..
Brown squares up to him and Bartley just laughs hahahaha
He got the ball as wellThis one..
Listen to the commentary. Never in a million years at any time of any game is that a red card tackle.This one..
Spot on, it's the one thing we are missing from the current squad. Sometimes, regardless of the booking, you need someone who can put players like Lego back in their box and have a limp for the rest of a game.
Didn't hit him hard enough !This one..
I think he should be allowed another goDidn't hit him hard enough !
Seeing that prick go up in the air no matter when it is is always a joy to behold,wether it be the 1st minute or the last!!The narrative around Bartley and that tackle in particular is bizarre.
Anyone can go out and try to leather someone. I’d prefer my central midfield to dominate the ball and show him up to be the overrated lego eating plastic hard man he is as opposed to put him up in the air after 2mins, get booked and proceed to be run over the top of in a feeble 3-0 loss.
Not wanting you’re on the end of a hammering it means zeroSeeing that prick go up in the air no matter when it is is always a joy to behold,wether it be the 1st minute or the last!!
Fair point, comparing with our current guys.I'd have Niko and Edmundsen ahead of him already and they're younger.
Very raw when he was with us. Always looked a Championship level player along with the likes of Joe Worral and players of that ilk.
I'd have Niko and Edmundsen ahead of him already and they're younger.
This one..
This one..
Its one of those things that just makes you smileI'll never tire of watching that
Unbelievable that it’s 8 years ago, frightening!Watching the WBA v Stoke game tonight and seeing Bartley reminded me of when he was with us (can't believe it was 8 years ago).
I did a google search on him and found out that SG was interested in signing him from Swansea (or was it just paper talk?)
Anyway, it never happened and we signed Goldson instead.
Interested to hear FF opinion - did we get a better player in Goldson?
That's the tackle I remember him forThis one..
