We need to stop hating on players who helped us get promoted.

O hare stuff was funny but also sad. He helped get us into this league and then stay in it for crying out loud

McCallum yeah fair play didn't celebrate it

Tbh I never thought he was particularly great when at us. Thought he was a good athlete and worked really hard, but lacked the technical skills and passing ability required. But he was really good tonight and their best player.

Players should celebrate scoring goals instead of pretending to be all sad about it.

I agree it's got to the stage where some loan players who only played a couple of games for a club don't celebrate when they score against them.

I thought McCallum and O’Hare were both good tonight. It’s a shame O’Hare gets a hard time but then he went to a league rival, always going to happen.

It’s funny how the football gods work. He left us seeking more money and thought he would get Premiership football. Now he’s closer to L1.

Thought O’Hare was okay, nothing more. But it’s hard to look good in his position when you have Campbell and Cannon in front of you.

He didn't pretend to be sad. It's just recognition of the part we played in his career.

Ohare left on a free after we rehabilitated him twice. Deserves the stick.

I mean it more general than just McCallum specifically but there's a middle ground to be found between performatively looking apologetic and going full Adebayor and giving it stacks.

That’s literally the opposite of how I remember him. I thought he was always technically quality but was blowing after 60 mins every game and was slow. Game of opinions isn’t it

McCallum is also very decent in the air. Good left back/wing back at this level. Also got a decent long throw.

I just think it's hilarious that both him and hamer thought they were better than cov and now look,yes hamer has had 1 season in the Premier league, but thats not done him any good

They'll soon both be league 1 players

When i moved sunday league teams, i played my old club, scored (actually it hit me and went in off my arse), and i celebrated like i'd scored in the World Cup Final.

I find the non celebrations really ridiculous especially if it’s a former loan player. If I was O’Hare last night and I had scored I would have gone wild, fortunately we didn’t have to see it as it was a typical game from him a lot of bluster but little final product.

I spoke to Callum post match.

- Disappointed with result, but wasn't crying about it.
- Not bothered about boos, said it's part of football, and it doesn't affect him.

Forget 'pretty sure', you nailed it all, as per

Pantomime stuff for most. I reckon 99% of people if they met him in real life would ask for a photo/be really complimentary about his time at Cov.

Nobody can compare playing football for a small fortune a week to "employment".

I don’t care about boos. All these players had the chance to play for us and decided they didn’t want to.
Thats their prerogative, however it’s our fans prerogative if they want to boo or not.

I do find it satisfying how so many, whilst helping us with our rise, thought they were bigger and better than us.

For me, O’Hare is in the same category as McNulty
