Ah yes, the Exeter game, which obviously defined his whole career.

Ponticelli had zero attributes at that level besides possibly hitting the target. At least Biamou threw himself about. Something that's handy at League 1/2

Yeah his careers gone backwards since then. No doubt he'll be turning out for someone at Plainmoor soon . I'll let you know how he gets on

Totally disagree. He wasn't "massively overrated", he was just really liked by a large section of the fanbase - You said it yourself, a LARGE section. He wasn't the most skilful, he wasn't the greatest or the fastest, but he scored some fantastic goals, gave his all and seemed to genuinely love the club. Not sure why a few - a FEW - have an issue with that and spend their time shouting "He was shit! He was shit!" from the rooftops. You're not going to change the minds of those who disagree. Out of all the "legends" on Saturday, he got the loudest applause, the warmest welcome and Singers Corner was chanting his name. It would have made your blood boil.

It wouldn't make my blood boil at all - he was a useful squad player in Leagues 1 and 2 - I would have found it quite embarrassing though to be honest.
And his career since leaving us shows that he wasn't actually very good.

TBF @Evo1883 was the first the say his support was cult like. I was the first to say Cult of Biamou. You were definitely a founder member I’ll give you that

It seems he does - I should have style award points though

Taxi for Ohare.

But it was a back post header lmao 😂 What use is being able to get into a position and not score from it?

It doesn't matter what he did post-CCFC. While he was here he scored some memorable - and important goals - nothing else really matters.

People just love being contrarian is the crux of it I think.

He is one of the players who really represents our recent rise after decades of shite, scored some true worldies along the way and gave loads back to the club on a personal level to go with it.

People like him and I don't know why some have to cry about it so much.

Certain people like to claim there’s a Biamou ‘cult’. But as far as I can see the only cult is the group of people falling over themselves just to tell everyone just how rubbish Biamou was at every possible opportunity, it’s pathetic really.

Some people over rated him, some people under rated him, same as any other player. That’s it. Big deal.

You wanted to sign him instead of Gyokeres, you should be staying well away from this thread

Fucking yawn.

I'm sure Grendel will be along soon to give you a like and you can circle jerk each other as usual.

Edit: like clockwork

Edit 2: Sick Boy as well. It's a full house!

I’d imagine there’s quite a strong correlation between the majority who highly rated Thorn and the cult.

Excellent signing by Robins took him a while to get up to speed in professional football but once he did he always gave 110% for the shirt scored some big goals for us. If his career is over due to injury maybe there's a coaching or scouting role for him at the club now that he's officially a legend of the club

That fact that people are desperate to defend Biamou at every opportunity but will watch Jamie Allen get slated at the same time basically confirms there is a cult.

Tavares will be the next Ponticelli. Fans think next hype but reality he’s a National League player at best

The hype around him is weird - he’s already 22 but gets treated as though he’s a teenager with loads of potential.

I think Tavares had that raw pace and trickery and unpredictability that unsettled defenders.

Just throwing it out there, but in some ways players that haven’t come through a U.K. academy or youth system do sometimes have that X-factor. It’s almost as though invention and creativity is coached out of them for fear of the ball being turned over and a counter attack. Maybe that’s a good thing, I don’t know.

Anyway, Tavares looked a bit different.

Whether that pace and ability to twist and turn will return after his injury I don’t know. I rather fear that he’ll lose a little of it, unfortunately.

Wish him well.

This remains either the best troll account of all time or the footballing equivalent of Shugs on the Wasps forum. Which admittedly may be the same things.

I’m still torn but he is just as bad on his Twitter so makes me think he’s serious

Once he had got to grips with what was expected of him, Max always tried his best and has always supported and expressed his love for the club. What's not to like? A shame it appears injuries have stymied his later career after he left, as I think he would have done well in the lower leagues. Good bloke.

The pre-empting defensiveness, the 'I know what I'm saying is bollocks, I know somebody will come along to point out how and why it's bollocks, so I'd best get in there with a passive-aggressive insult whilst spouting bollocks' is a stylish curve on the normal post around here, it's fair to say.
