And why oh why was Tammy not substituted with a minute to go so he could get a proper standing ovation from a full house, for me, his farewell was more important than the result today, really poor management in my opinion. And why do they have to bring their wives and kids anyway? We pick them for their football skills, not their fertility - don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose some people would rather get away quickly than take 10 minutes out of their lives to wait and give their thanks to Tammy. Their loss Bob. I was also pleased that Cotts got a fantastic reception from those of us left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - can't work out why everyone was in such a rush to leave Cotts got more of an ovation than our players (Save Tammy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ made the decisions today, the substitutions didn't exactly change the game did they? Could have left one for Tammy to get the recognition he deserved. The only player, without whom we probably wouldn't have stayed up this season, the only player who came over to talk to the fans after our worst performances, while the rest ran off almost as fast as LJ did. With nothing resting on this game for us, saving one sub for this would have gone down well in a shite season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3_RED Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I saw the lap of honour I wanted and that was SC. Absolute travesty that the club gave him no mention today. As soon as he had done the West Stand/Atyeo I went. I have no interest in clapping players and a manager that have seriously under achieved.

Was I wrong? Ahhhhh ok No - you were right - though LJ was absolutely right IMHO not to sub him - he was about the only player in a red shirt who looked like he cared (AGAIN) It would also help if the ****** PA didn't completely spoil any attempt to get any atmosphere / songs going in the mins leading to kick off Gets more like a poxy nightclub every season and DONT re read the line ups with the PA at + 400 decibels , in the couple of minutes before kickoff FFS A full house would have created atmosphere - too much ******** music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Tammy didn't want to come off? In his mind he wanted to score that last minute winner, and he might have been a bit miffed if LJ would have taken him off and denied him that opportunity.

BobBobSuperBob Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I would have replaced Taylor and Patterson at half time , they were shocking Says it all that our only hope came when Duric came on and we pumped balls at him - And in fairness he won virtually everything yet we still didn't look a threat !!!!

Yep, the PA needs to be reactive. If fans aren't creating an atmosphere, play something, at a relatively low volume, that get them joining in, otherwise, just leave us fans to it.
