I really want to get behind him. He plays for saints even though he has not acted like a saint.

This week I would like to see him take a captains responsibility, face the media, speak to the fans in a sincere as he can get way and apologise for the way he behaved and show that he is committed to giving 100% for saints this season.

That's a start Virgil, help the team keep a clean sheet and score the winner against utd, then yeah, we are ok again.

I think VVD will keep well away from the media. If he has learnt one life lesson, it is that.
 
According to a Loserpool fan needling Sir Matty, VVD looked miserable yesterday. Yes, in one photograph which was taken just as he was preparing to go on the pitch, he looked serious and focused so because he wasn't grinning ear-to-ear, he's miserable. They're so sadly desperate. Or is that desperately sad...?

I was disappointed he didn't really come over to the fans yesterday to be honest.

He should have came over, took his bit of stick and that would have began the healing process but think those who did boo/abuse him will remember.

As for captain I dont think it's all that important really. Good teams should have 3/4 leaders on the pitch anyway.

Or both. Virgil looked happy to me....may not be his 'dream', but he was back in the squad and playing after months out. At the end he was patting the backs of the team and Palace players...looked relaxed and happy.
 
If we intend to keep VVD until next summer then I am pleased to see him reintergrated however if he is going in January then I see no good reason to get him match fit ready for a move to Liverpool so leave him on the bench or left out

I'm not expecting a decent season out of him. I'm expecting two. Then he'll be halfway through his contract and we can sell. No, I'm not joking. If I'd been in charge that would be what I would have told him. He didn't sign a two year contract or a three year one. He signed for six and was very happy to take it. Now he pays our commitment back by giving us just half the time for which he signed.

One last thought....before Beddy puts it to bed:bandit:...I wasn't sure I wanted to see Virgil in a Saints' shirt again, but it was good to see. Sensible to do it in an away game....he looked in a positive mood and not sulky. He's out of gaol and on probation now.

Help's that it's possibly the best away shirt in the club's history.

I agree 100%. I think he looked a bit embarrassed by it all.

What we all forget is he is only 26 years old. No life skills and has so much so young. Not making excuses for him, but I always look at kids in their 20s and think how would I react if they were my kid. The sad fact of being a footballer is that you grow up in your 30s...when your career is over. My daughter is 27, married, kid(s :) ) etc but I still see the life mistakes she makes through lack of experience, though you have to let them make their own mistakes to learn.

Still don't think he should be captain though, to keep on topic. Sir Steven Davis or Sir Maya Yoshida are better choices as role models. However, the minute he came on, he did seem to take control.

My thoughts too.
