[Albion] Warren Aspinall

[Bexhill gull]

I listen quite often to the Radio Sussex commentary .
Yesterday I thought Warren Aspinall’s continual criticism of Yankubah Minteh was disgusting. Yes I agree he is a very frustrating player to watch but the way he’s singled out for criticism by Aspinall in nearly every game is uncalled for and I think he should be told about it.

TBH @Bexhill gull i share his frustration….

He’s a young player with a lot to learn, a lot of NSCers were going completely over the top on the Minteh thread in terms of current ability.

He has a long way to go IMO.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

I don't think Minteh listens to Radio Sussex whilst he is playing.

 

[Weststander]

Interesting from WA yesterday. Called out Baleba for not covering the CB’s when Wiefffer attacked. I like that, he didn’t fall into the fans trap of protecting a deity.

I’ve not listened to WA for ages but heard him speak at a supporters club thing this season and thought he revelled in singling out players for unfair criticism.

You think he’s down on Minteh. Ask him his opinion on Enciso and Pedro…

 

[zefarelly]

I'm not much of a WA fan, but he's been pretty much spot on recently ( listening in the car post home matches)

 

[portlock seagull]

Warren’s spot on (as usual). Nothing to see here

 

[Taybha]

He says what he sees,quite a rarity in today's ooooh I can't say that world of woke,I agree sometimes this comes over as non constructive criticism but hes just saying what others see but don't say or say it but do not have the platform Warren has.

Yankuba is a raw talent and will learn with experience I've no doubt of that, telling a player oh your fabulous fine and dandy is simply not true yet,but it will be.

I really don't want to listen to a yes man who bangs on how good we are when there's obviously something not right going on,Warren has his faults as do we all but he's a bloody good egg and certainly not for the PC Scrapheap IMO

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Football is as much a game of opinions as it is, err, about football.

If he has said something factually untrue about a living person the law of slander is there to protect and correct said person.

I don't think WA needs to apologise for having an opinion, even if that opinion happens not to align with yours.....

WA is paid to give his opinions - and he usually, IMHO, seems to know what he's talking about. We paid a lot of money for Minteh, and he hasn't really developed much this season - in recent weeks indeed he seems to have gone back from where he was when he first replaced Adingra.

If only they had a phone in after the match

His frustration with the Albion recently mirrors mine exactly, if not his singling out individual players. I think it’s great that the shortcomings are being called out. I have no idea if he is but he comes across as an ardent Albion fan.

 

[Lenny Rider]

I think he‘s saying exactly the same as what Sir Norman Gall and Johnny Byrne would have done in a similar situation.

He's played at the highest level, has an 86/87 Championship medal with Everton, he’s an expert and that’s what the Beeb are paying him for.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I used to be a big fan but I found he was starting to get very negative. I have not listened to him for a long long time though.

Whilst alost of what he says is fair it’s true he’s like a dog with a bone. Last week he was doing it and didn’t mention Adingra who was far worse in my opinion.

I had the misfortune of listening to the Palace game for the first time in years via the website commentary... it was awful. No effort to describe what was actually happening on the pitch. Probably just as well considering.

 

[Munchkin]

Jonny Cantor is excellent. WA talks jibberish and is a dinosaur IMO.

About time he was replaced.

Probably factually correct but you are being very generous here Lenny. Most of the clubs/matches he played were certainly not “ highest level”

2 England youth caps, signed by both Howard Kendall and Graham Taylor for Everton and Villa respectively, he played 477 games in the all four divisions of the FL, nearly half of those appearances in the top two leagues, but by his own admission he ‘f***ed’ his career with his extra curricular activities, if anyone is in a position to warn young players about the pitfalls it’s him.
