A team of c*nts

[Fabio]

A cunt would go in with their studs to cause an injury. Robertson just hits them in places it hurts to put them in their place. A cunt would provoke a reaction, then collapse to the floor to get the other player sent off. Robertson walks up to them and tells them to shut their fucking mouth, then smiles.

He's far from a cunt.

If that's your definition of a cunt then so be it. I use it as a catch all for anyone who uses the dark arts, not one particular brand of cunt.

The type of cunt you describe I'd call a precious cunt.

Robbo is a sly cunt

I think they're very similar, it's just when Robbo is a prick he smiles, when Costa is he protests innocence immediately

I don't think I'd ever see Robbo spit on his gloves and fling it Spiderman style at his opponent, though...

Only because Robbo doesn't wear gloves

Here's a video of Robbo being cunty

Look, I can see why opposing teams might hate him, and he's definitely more than a bit naughty at times, but he's not remotely in the territory of a Costa or a Suarez. In fairness, watching that vid I get more of a sense of that perception but there is 3 mins of footage in this vid, distilled from his entire Liverpool career. You'd get that much from one game with Costa.

I love how, when his opponent gets all riled by a challenge and squares up to him, he just laughs at them ... really winds them up 🙂

Is he at the shit house level of Costa or Suarez? No, as he's never bitten anyone or spiderman'd anyone (on the pitch).

But even the fact there is a distilled 3 minutes of shithouse behaviour, from a relatively short career with us, shows he most certainly isn't just a bit naughty. He outright goes to antagonise the opposition and gets people to lose their cool.

Mans a big a cunt as anyone in the league right now

 

[Fabio]

If he played for United I'd fucking despise the cunt. He plays for us, so I can appreciate it.

I don't get the downplaying of it? Embrace it.

It's the best bit. Pleading innocence might calm the opposition a bit. He specifically wants them to fume.

 

[darkstarexodus]

He's our cunt (and I love him) but he's definitely a cunt. Absolutely brilliantly so.

 

[FreshRed]

Love those smirks afterwards - other players must want to kill him.

Definitely a killer smile.

 

[Whaddapie]

The real question to ask ourselves in one of these 'is he / isn't he?' questions, is how we'd feel about him if he played for anybody else.

And we'd hate him.

 

[ibromurph]

Viciousness can be a factor, but Robbo isn't vicious. He's sly. He's sneaky. He needles players and provokes reactions. He's Diego Costa at left back.

One thing I would say is he's a bit of a shitehouse in that he hides behind Big Virg (often smirking) after he provokes an opponent. LOL.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I loved that. I think the Neymar one was my favourite.

Pity he didn't kick him harder
