I know what you're saying about Bellers & Ashton

It's simply that most people warmed to Bellers much more than Ashton for various reasons. And then Ashton seemed to betray us when we needed him most (whether he did or not is not the point).

  - So it's the type of striker you prefer then (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:53:41
    - if i was playing in a game on the local Rec, with jumpers for goal posts (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 5, 13:58:52

    - winning mentality innit, (NCFC) - HairyBobbingManAss, Aug 5, 13:29:26
      - Yet Ashton has proven, as a striker, when to score when it matters (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:32:54
        
        you said... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:41:14
        
        I remember him scoring a perfectly decent goal in the fulham away game (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:54:45
        
        To be fair, he was our best player at Fulham by quite some way. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:43:02
        
        true but the point was... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:45:17
        
        Didn't he have a perfectly good goal disallowed when we were 1-0 down? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:46:47
        
        If you start counting goals in football that shouldn't have been disallowed (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:48:48
        
        Yes, but there's a slight difference between a wing wizard (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:59:50
        
        Sounds good to me. Let's say we beat Fulham 3-0 with a Mattias Jonson hat-trick. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:50:29
        
        Was the Ashton goal still disallowed then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 14:07:37
        
        Yeah. It makes the (admittedly unlikely) Jonson hat-trick even better. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 14:10:49
        
        In that case I'm a bit confused why we're allowed to do this.... (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 14:11:37
        
        I decided to divorce the argument from any sort of rationality whatsoever. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 14:13:22
        
        Oh. OK. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 14:17:33
        
        "we beat Fulham 3-0 with a Mattias Jonson hat-trick" (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 13:55:17
        
        Everyone else say it too. Maybe it'll catch on and we'll be back in the Premier League. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:57:39

        *sub Fact for Truth and that's my point (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:46:01
        
        How often are facts ignored about Ashton on here though? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:08:29
        
        the 2 people fact thing (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:18:37
        
        Yeah, but we know that was a troll so we ignored it (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 5, 14:32:31
        
        That's a fair point I guess (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:39:27
        
        But you're treating the whole board as if it were one person (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 5, 14:15:00
        
        Cool (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:34:58

        I guess I'm just a bit more straight forward thinking (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:57:45
        
        You do need to remember that Bellamy was much more of a Norwich player (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 14:14:21
        
        I totally understand that, and that's why I'm saying (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:22:30

        Peter Thorne certainly couldn't stand up when it counted... (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 5, 13:36:38
        
        Or at all, by the end. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:38:57

        WHAT!? Ashton has scored more important goals than Ronaldo? (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:34:49
        
        I didn't say Ronaldo can't do it (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:36:28
        
        I don't think Ashton has played in enough big games really to compare him (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:37:52
