Medals for Kuszczak and Pique?

Dublin Red · 13th May 2008, 13:12

The both deserve medals . If they have played in 9 games they have made a significant contribution to the team.

Why not?

How reliant have we been on PIG?

Thats 23.68% of the games.

If you had 23.68% of a cake would you consider it significant?

Well considering we would have had to play O'Shea in goal for the games VDS have been out for this season, I'd say very.

Premiership is a huge cake. Bigger than Spanish cake.

If we lost 23.68% of games every season , what would we win?
If your wages were cut by 23.68% would you consider that a significant cut?

Every game this season has been significant.

It doesn't matter about the size of the cake only the % you are holding!

In terms of wages yes, football matches no.

He made a significant contribution to our fa cup campaigne from what I can remember, shall we reward him for that as well?

LOL so by that reasoning a quarter of our games this season were not significant to us winning the title.

The FA Cup comments is just another stupid analogy TBH.

yaka8 · 13th May 2008, 13:54

Hope the lads get one... but then i suppose if they give one to the players then the players on 8 will want one ect, ect...I reckon there should be no minimum, If you played a Premier Leauge game you should get one...

ave fenix · 13th May 2008, 13:54

hope they give it to them....on second thought,Pique was guilty for the goal in that Bolton match....

I'm saying, in my opinion only, I dont think they should make exemptions for players who have only played 9 games. They set the benchmark at ten. You cant move the goal posts just because they've fallen short of the mark.

I dont think either Pique or PIG have made a significant contribution to warrant a premiership winners medal. If anything I would set the target number of games higher.

I premiership winners medal should represent a big achievement, which would also make winning one more prestigous.

Again my opinion only, sorry if I'm not in with the majority!

Fair enough, but its widely said that its your squad players than can win you the league. Obviously the strongest 11 do most of the hard work, but without your squad players you havent got a cat in hells chance. Maybe they should have a gold and silver medal tier or summit depending on how many games you have played and how much you have contributed

Sky1981 · 13th May 2008, 14:44

What someone says.

Now it's 9, tomorrow's 8, tomorrow's 7... then it'll mean nothing as every reserves team probably got one playing 10sec of the last minute in every game.

The rules are clear from the start 10, and it is.

Getting a medal doesn't mean anything, if you win it as the big boys, no medal will take away your name from the history.

If you're not in it, no medal will put your name in the history book either.

VidaRed · 13th May 2008, 14:48

saf had the opportunity to give them both a chance when we were leading 4-1 against west ham instead he brought on fletch and o'shea

nail on head

Every part counts. I mean Pique played against Arsenal ffs definitely should get a medal.

Agreed.

Name Changed · 13th May 2008, 19:41

Do they half to pay for the medal? I half remember Blackburn buying one for Jeff Kenna because he only made 9 appearances that season? They had bought him from Southampton during the season.

golden_blunder · 13th May 2008, 19:56

i think reserve keepers should get 1. I mean its the one position where they are unlikely to ever make the required 10 games. Or maybe reduce the required game limit for keepers?

Crustanoid · 13th May 2008, 20:12

Its because the title went to the wire. Usually when a team wraps it up early the fringe players have a chance to play more games

Makki · 13th May 2008, 20:14

Why didn't Fergie just sub Kuszczak on in the 92nd minute, he did have one substitution left and with us 2-0 up he'd have got his 10th game of the season.

It's shocking that that wasn't what he was thinking about as he was about to win his tenth PL title. Maybe PIG should have tapped him on the shoulder to remind him or something?

ecantona7 · 13th May 2008, 20:39

PIG deserves one since he's a reserve keeper. They should lower the bar for keepers as GB said. As for pique the limit is set at 10, and he's at 9 so shouldn't get one. They can change the rules next season if they want but the rules are there for a reason and based on that he shouldn't get one.

If he had said that to fergie he would have given him a rocket of that there's no doubt!
