Only a rumour and ex-Fulham.

 

[Lee The Bee]

One for the development squad I would of thought.

 

[Brentford Bob]

Oh, do keep up.

Matt Saunders from Fulham. Young, creative midfielder who was highly rated by Hodgson but since frozen out by Hughes. Came on against us in the friendly and sprayed some good passes all over the pitch.
I have contacts within his family and I know he wants out - did really well on loan to Lincoln last season too.

 

[Nick Hester]

Very good friend of WarrenBee's...

 

[Ace Face]

Sorry all.

 

[JBN]

Very good friend of WarrenBee's...

I thought WarrenBee was his agent

 

[WarrenBee]

Good lad is Matt. His Brother is a very good player as well.

 

[WarrenBee]

Last time I spoke to Matt he was traing with Dagenham & Redbridge.

dont remember that

 

[ianbee]

At Gillingham I believe

 

[GP200]

dont remember that

............verbals away at Gillingham.........

 

[Herbert]

............verbals away at Gillingham.........

was it really because he was fulham or was it for his performance

 

[condorman]

I remember songs of "Darren Pratlet is a bee, he hates Fulham"

 

[BRbee]

was it really because he was fulham or was it for his performance

The boos and criticism of Darren Pratley at Gillingham a few years aago was because some travelling Bees fans thought he wasn't pulling his weight/ putting in the effort he should in that game - which we lost.

Make that 'a large number of Bees fans thought he wasn't putting in the effort in that game'

 

[BRbee]

True - me included

so it wasnt for being fulham as made out .It was for not pulling his weight which he rightly got cained for

I remember the Darren Pratley is a Bee song,so proves he wasnt given verbal for being fulham

 

[Jay Bee]

The song was "Darren Pratley is a Bee, he hates Fulham" which was praising him - and obviously was meant to be ironic as he was on loan from Fulham at the time. It was sung a lot in the first half of that season, in particular when he got the winner at Forest.

When he came back in the 2nd half of the season he probably did get some stick as he was playing a lot worse/trying a lot less - but not for the Fulham connection. The song became "Darren Prately is a c*nt" when he played against us for Swansea the next year.

However I think I agree with the point Roy was making about the "nono" smilie - I don't care if someone is from Fulham's academy, if they could do a good job for us they are very welcome.

 

[Roy_loak]

pratley was booed home and away for being fulham.

 

[SmiffyBee]

pratley was booed home and away for being fulham.

I don't recall this......even the most ardent fulham hating Bees would surely give an ex-Fulham player a chance in a Bees shirt ?

The only time there was some grievance towards DP :yuck: was at Gillingham. Never heard booing at GP. Move on :yes;

 

[RoyalOakBee]

One for the development squad I would of thought.

He is 22 why would he go into the Development Squad?

What happened to the Danis Salmon's and the Paul Walkers and the Jamie Bates and the Keith Millens we used to produce before the Academy and Development Squad were about?

 

[WarrenBee]

pratley was booed home and away for being fulham.

What a load of rubbish.

 

[Herbert]

pratley was booed home and away for being fulham.

no he wasnt

 

[beebopalula]

pratley was booed home and away for being fulham.

Pratley was a quality player for us. What you say is untrue.

 

[Guildford Bee]

pratley was booed home and away for being fulham.

Nonsense. We used to sing "Darren Pratley is a Bee, he hates Fulham".

The only time there was any hostility towards Pratley was after that capitulation at Gillingham - one othe worst performances I've ever seen given the circumstances (yet we still only lost 3-2!)

 

[Roy_loak]

oh dear... just because you didn't hear it doesn't mean it didn't happen. or do you hear everything uttered at every game?

 

[condorman]
