In my opinion.
Best Stoke player I have ever seen.
Vital in our promotion to the Prem.
Arguably our most important player in our first 2 seasons in the Prem.
Scorer of great goals (Villa home, Wet Sham away, Wolves away, Brum home etc...)
He was a daft twat today and maybe cost us a point but there's no need to forget all of the above.

He is a player that on his day was a good player, but when he loses the ball, or particually when he started to lose his pace became and becomes very frustrated.
If he stays he has to realise now that his first team ventures in a Stoke shirt will be restrited to games like this, purely in the squad rotation system.

Agree with the original post, he is a legend.
BUT - why on earth do what he did today? A 5 year old has more intelligence. He hasn't played much this season and gets a real opportunity to show what he can still do, and he shoots himself in the foot completely and utterly. Utter lunacy. What he did today shows far less respect to the manager, club, colleagues and fans than Pennant breaching curfew twice.
Ricardo Fuller, you have let yourself down so badly today.

I love Ric and everything he's done for us but he just doesn't seem bothered these days. Shame.

I think he needs to go out on loan for the rest of the season, get some games under his belt, his pace back and his head straight.

Fuller is a liability and has been for the past 2 years. If Fuller is the best Stoke player you have seen then you must still be at school.

The likes of Greenhoff, Smith, Ritchie, Steino, Fox and numerous others were also Stoke legends too, but they too had to move on when their time here was done.

Best player you've ever seen sums up how long you've supported us and the lack of choice you've had to choose from. He's always had that in him, even more so now that I could out run him at the age of 41!

He's always had that in him, even more so now that I could out run him at the age of 41! I would like to apologise for the year of my birth. I'm 24 by the way and I should warn you... I've seen plenty of people of a similar age at our matches. I'm beginning to suspect that some of them come on YOUR messageboard.

Agree Fuller is a legend but he is now past it and his actions today were disgraceful. He should not play again and have his legend status tarnished. i want to remember him at his best not his worst.

Rick was a legend before today, and what he did was stupid and he probably knows that, but i feel what he did was more out of frustration, he probably knows that his legs have gone and he's not the player he was. I doubt we will see Rick play again for Stoke, but not for what he did today, simply because he is not the player he was. It happens to every body eventually age catches up. I will always remember the great times with Rick, not some stupid sending off, we all fuck at times, hes fucked up on big stage and millions have seen it, some people on here have crucified him, take a look at your own lives, noone is perfect. Remember the good times.

First, well done to everyone that was on the pitch at the end of the game - brave effort.
For the brainless individual - given the amount of pitchitime that idiot Fuller has been able to contribute this season, any reasonable person would expect him to be able to control himself without resorting to mindless stamping. He has been great for us - but after today, he now risks just being a "has been".
However, TP needs to sort out the discipline in the team - we are in danger of earning a reputation of being a rough-house team. Too many times we're treading right on the line in terms of earning bookings. TP clearly has to get to grips with this.

But...., and ok a few in our squad arent, he isnt Premier League quality anymore.
