“It’s very easy for fans to say that about players when they have their own jobs and people are bringing in presents for them, saying it’s sad to see them leave. You see it on Instagram all the time.
“Imagine if the roles were reversed and we turned around and said ‘What are you on about? They’re terrible at their jobs’
Yet another player with an 'us and them' mentality when it comes to the support, it's been one of the major problems at this club since Mick.
Maybe if the players had shown a bit more this year we wouldn't be so keen to bin them off. Own your mistakes FFS. |  |

I think you're jumping at something that isn't there, basic jist is that players are human and it can be a wrench to leave a job, especially if they have no choice in it and that people who leave normal jobs might get presents from colleagues rather than being told they are sh1t.
People moan when players spout cliches but I thought this was quite reflective from Norwood. It's quite telling that he's in front of the press this week so will clearly not be one Cook is looking to offload. [Post edited 7 May 2021 15:38]

if I displayed as much diligence to the key aspect of my job as Norwood does, I would have been removed from post and moved onto supervised practice somewhere really low-effort like outpatients years ago.
If I hadn't already been struck off for causing someone's death, anyway. |  |

Well said, Steve. But the usual suspects will no doubt wade in when they see an opportunity to have a go at him - even when he is making a valid point. |  |

Most footballers have never had a “proper job” so how they can comment on what it would be like if the roles were reversed makes no sense to me.
I get that they go from contract to contract and that depends on how they performed leading up to that time.
No different to everyone else. We don’t have a god given right to have a job, if we underperform on a consistent basis, we too would be looking for new one.
Players like Stuart Pearce (electrician) Vinny Jones (bricky) appreciated what being paid as a footballer really meant
This is just a case of “Footballer out of touch shock” |  |

Seems fair enough what he is saying. Footba is a very tough business and players have feelings too. They have families to feed and colleagues to not see again |  |

I actually thought he said some choice words in that Interview, quite mature given the guff that has been spouted. If he could talk more like that and less controversial musings on social media, he would have more fans behind him.
Someone needs to have a word with him and say keep your head down, spend the summer getting fit and have a break on social media. |  |

A goal every 2.7 games in 477 career appearances. Not the Ipswich striker I’d be criticizing. |  |

About 350 of those games in non-league of course. His record here isn't great, he's managed 20 goals across two seasons. | |

Us and them works both ways though, when you see the sort of sh1t he receives from so called fans on social media you have to wonder why he would feel anything but unloved.
I definitely think it works both ways. He doesn't strike me as the most likeable bloke if I'm honest, and I dare say he's not someone I would be in a hurry to hang about with, but to abuse any player on social media, especially our own players, is just completely counter productive and a bit of a d1ck move. There's certainly an element of personal responsibility from his side, and being antagonistic is going to get bites, but his peers like Sears and Jackson have done next to nothing this season and I don't see them getting called out very often.
Purely from a footballing perspective, his return is pretty good relative to appearances, and his fitness has been completely mis managed this season. Lambert played him in games he never in a million years should've been involved in, and had been given advice to that effect too. I think Norwood deserves a little bit of credit for putting the team first in that respect. |  |

He saying leaving a great job, like playing football for Ipswich, sometimes after years, is an emotional if not brutal thing, especially given what's happened and comparing it to say when someone leaves a job, or has to leave due to age, health, cuts and the respect people are shown in that light compared to football, where many are just wanting them all out the door and digging at them all online. |  |

He's asking the fans to treat the players who are leaving like human beings, I have no problem with this and I think some of you need to consider this in the context of the recent drive to cut out online abuse. He's saying if a fan loses their job, regardless of how they've performed, they don't have a load of people give them stick and tell them they are sh!t etc. I feel he has a point.

His time here has been undeniably disappointing. Although playing in a terrible team that doesn’t create chances we should surely cut him some slack. Let’s hope the new leadership can kick him into shape. | |

Yes, he has been playing in a terrible team for a rudderless, poor football club. But he’s been literally a paid up member of the mess and hasn't helped anybody with his lack of professionalism in terms of his own well-being or messing about on social media.
Thanks to him being in contract he will get a chance to get himself into shape and contribute. I dearly hope for his sake, the club’s and ourselves he takes it. He’s played half the games in two years and scored 20 goals and that isn’t good enough.
He has to take responsibility for himself first and foremost. As for social media, he’d be well advised to leave it alone. With regard to abuse players get, there are some real idiots out there and a lot of it is out of order. But sadly, that’s the way it is. A career in the public eye that is short, but well paid, a job many would crawl over glass to do, abuse and adoration, success and failure. He should enjoy it while he can. |  | | |
