i attended the game yesterday and basically im just wondering, going to sound stupid but why do we (accrington) give tony roberts so much stick.
Tony Roberts
- Thread starter daniellovell
- Start date
a goalkeeper who ignores the crowd will go no attention other than the occasional 'banter'
a goalkeeper who gives the crowd some hostile attention will get grief every subsequent visit
a goalkeeper who clearly loves it and gives it back quite so eloquently as Tony Roberts will get good natured banter every time.
a real character and one of those "I'd love it if ..." type keepers. Unfortunately he tends to get the better of us (not necessarily the team) such as the penalty save from Proccy last season. He'll be missed when he retires.
Personally never had any time for that sort of thing but can why it appeals to spend half the game slagging them off!

I think the incident you are referring to was when he was about to take a goal kick and saw a Stanley fan with a burger, he asked him for a bite and when he gave him the burger Roberts threw it away and laughed.
Maybe, if Daggers go up, then Tony would consider a move to a proper League2 club!!!
23,000 at Hillsborough yesterday got to see the great man. To quote their threads:
"Roberts was great first half taking some right stick off the north stand, what a character."
Came across this in the Tony Roberts memorabilia
