It’s such tinpot mentality.
It’s such tinpot mentality.Did you enjoy clapping your hands for the man who had just assisted a goal for the opposition and was also standing over the corner for them??
Embarrassing little wimp
Absolutely. Why on earth would you encourage a player of the opposition? Fucking madness.Let’s be honest, CoH was all but sold to Burnley before his ACL on Boxing Day. Sisu needed the cash (and yes we would have pocketed a fee) we all know how the story goes. Gus was fantastic for us, but you don’t applaud him during the game, wait until the final whistle, just like we did for Madders. PUSB
I’m pretty sure the several thousands of people in Singers Corner clapping him weren’t doing it to encourage him to take a better corner.Absolutely. Why on earth would you encourage a player of the opposition? Fucking madness.
Why the hell are people bothered about it? I clapped and I’m happy I did. The guy never wanted to leave us. He’s been berated by his own manager for coming to City games when he’s a SU player. The SINGLE most stupid decision this chairman (well, apart from getting rid of the best manager since Hill/Sillett) has made in recent times was not paying to keep him. People, laughingly in my opinion, said ‘No man is bigger than the club’. Well in this instance that was absolute bullshit. He was the cog that made everything tick. You could see MR desperately wanted the team to be moulded around him. And we couldn’t even pay him the extra he deserved. And now we’re spunking the money on Lampard! Jesus!
Anyway, apart from that rant!! I was really impressed with the boys today. They wanted it more and I absolutely loved the performance of Bertie. Already a legend!
We had zero chance of keeping him compared to the wages a PL club could pay; plus he wanted to leave.Why the hell are people bothered about it? I clapped and I’m happy I did.

He wanted to leave, we took £15 million for him rather than nothing the following summer and we reinvested all the money into the squad.We had zero chance of keeping him compared to the wages a PL club could pay; plus he wanted to leave.

These were season ticket holders, so unless they were plastic Cov fans…They were probably Liverpool and Man Utd fans in our end. It was common back in those days.
I’ll do what I wantDid you enjoy clapping your hands for the man who had just assisted a goal for the opposition and was also standing over the corner for them??

He did.Because he was sold. Simple. Thats football. But he clearly didn’t want to go. IMO.
ExactlyYou have fallen into the trap of this recent phenomenon of grown adult fans deciding & telling other grown adults:
When they can celebrate, when they can’t celebrate, when they can sing, what song they can sing, when they can’t sing a particular song. Which players they must like, which players you cannot like.
It’s weird as fuck pal!
I’m still happy to acknowledge a great goal/ save/ pass. And also applaud brilliant. players, or those that have given good service to us.Exactly
Back in the day it was a common sight to see the crowd from both sets of supporters applaud good passages of play and goals.
I remember being at Vale Park a few years back when their keeper pulled off a save from an Armstrong or was it Kent shot and shouting something like 'what a fantastic save'
Jeez, if looks could kill from City fans around me.

Everything ok at home lad?As weird as wanting to know what Hamers Jizz tastes like?
Same when mcsheffrey did.The only time I remember it worse was when people cheered after Andy Morrell scored against us. I nearly had about 4 fights that day!
The irony is grown adults telling others they can't have an opinion on their strange behaviour.You have fallen into the trap of this recent phenomenon of grown adult fans deciding & telling other grown adults:

If this is what happened does anyone else think its a bit cuntish for Gus and anyone else to say this to Robins on the bus back from our wembley defeat. They could have left it a few days or weeks until the disappointment died down.Gus to MR on bus back from Wembley "I'm off Gaffer"
Gus to fans in summer - "Erm I want to stay, honest"
He wanted Out just as much as Cal but gets the red carpet cos he occasionally tips up at home games?
Hamer was always going to go having not secured promotion according to my one and only reputable source at the time. It's the only occasion I've been ITK and unlikely I ever will be again.If this is what happened does anyone else think its a bit cuntish for Gus and anyone else to say this to Robins on the bus back from our wembley defeat.

Same with the Doug king song. Probably the same people waving their phone torch.

Yea quality actually, my ex Mrs came round with her new fella earlier and we all stood and applauded them to show our respect and love
Whole ground didn't do it, not me or my group, I was too busy shouting at the pussies in front of me clapping away like seals.whole ground did It , I doubt 24000 fans are bothered what you think
Blimey don't remember that.... embarrassing. We deserved the 30 years of obscurity for that!My view is our supporters who wanted to clap Hamer should have waited until he was substituted (or at the end of the game).
I'm old enough to have been at the 1987 Charity Shield game at Wembley against Everton and recall clearly being ashamed of our supporters enmasse singing "Everton Everton Everton" during Everton's Lap of honour, totally cringeworthy!!!.
They wouldnt of heard you over all the clappingWhole ground didn't do it, not me or my group, I was too busy shouting at the pussies in front of me clapping away like seals.
It's weird. I get doing it afterwards, but not during the game when they're on the attack. I reckon some do it for some weird kind of supporter points. Log onto the opposition forum and get a warm glow when they read, "Coventry fans were great today, they applauded so-and-so".They wouldnt of heard you over all the clapping
Same when mcsheffrey did.
Imagine what it will be like if robins manages against us.
