good player Beattie, scores against a Welsh non league side and suddenly a hero, ffs wake up and smell the roses
Yes, our opinion of him is based entirely on the first friendly of the season, against a local team. "ffs", while living away doesn't make somebody less of a fan, it does mean you aren't going to be one of the most informed fans. I accept that, and I try to base my stronger opinions on things I have seen during trips home. I've seen Beattie play quite a few times, and he's always given his all, and I've also seen him look head and shoulders above anything we had up front until Borini came in. Some people on here (and by this I don't mean me) go to every game, and have informed opinions on players, so spending a few days slating someone just because you've taken a sudden dislike to them just looks a bit daft.
will be watching him closely in every match this season then i can make an informed comment, until then i will be quiet
