    He took a mean penalty too, I have a recollection from my teens of him and Ian Butler getting to the latter stages of some penalty taking/saving competition. He took a penalty in the Watney Cup game and whacked it against the bar, it was hell of a strike.

    well he didnt train for a few days prior to his move.
    it was either his idea or he was instructed to from high up cos they didnt wanna risk injury to him.

    Evidently. However, you assumed that Snodgrass decided that. It was the club that said he was injured. If he had decided not to train, and let's not forget he was seen at the training ground, then surely the club would have made it clear that he had 'withdrawn his labour' so to speak. I am sad he's gone and we'll get over it. However, to question his professionalism without any evidence is a bit off.

    the thing I find slightly off, is the claim that he was injured but he was sold..It cant have been that bad, he did feature for West Ham, straight away

    Looking at the score, he was perhaps injured and in goal.

    Agreed. However, to blame the player when all the evidence is that the club is (understandably) protecting its investment is wrong. I wish Snoddy well and appreciate that he was a good professional whilst at Hull City. The chapter is closed. Just don't blame him without any evidence.

    Cannot recall RC doing it but I did it in Hull playing for Holy Trinity in 1956. Didn't mess it up like Henry and Pires!

    I can't (be arsed) to find it, but there was a post that quoted something from Silva. If that was wrong then fair enough, but there was nothing around to refute it, from the player's side.

    As for his professionalism, it didn't stop him touting himself to Celtic (and wider, as a result) , when those other extended players just got on with it. **** him, he's gone, we move on, just another mercenary Sweaty.

    He was back in training before he left, it wasn't true that he refused to train, there's even photos of him in training on here.

    People just believe whatever fits in with their own ideas about Snodgrass

    If people are upset about him leaving it's because he was a decent payer for us , otherwise nobody would give a ****
