I was 5 yards away and that did seem to be the reason it kicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3_RED Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 In over 40 years of watching football I have just witnessed (live) two of the best players I will ever see. Damn right I applauded one of them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird and embarrassing ! Shame we are even talking about it on a night like this as players deserve all the spotlight on them not idiots who keep the ball and fight each other.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Nothing wrong with appreciating how good a player like that is - De Bruyne was simply outstanding too. Doesn't mean if you clap him off you are suddenly not supporting the team at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clap off an ex player (Wilbs) or an oppo player getting stretchered off, but the player who scored a last minute goal against us, not for me. People appreciate a class act when they see one . Oddly people did the same with Peter Crouch and I joined them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of their attacking play and speed of counter attack was just frightening. No way any championship striker scores the goal Aguero did.

Bernard Lerring Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I go down the football to be entertained and players like aguero and de breuyne are definitely entertainers, so I clap them off (after wishing them an awful game up until that point). I don't expect some pr1ck who can't handle his cider / charlie to start on me because I clap them off. Also thought it was really odd why 30ish coppers chose to do nothing about it for seemingly ages. If they'r not there to sort out trouble, wtf are they doing?!

Wow fans having fun - get over it mate - the atmosphere tonight was tin pot not the lad hogging the ball. Selfies, half & half scarfs & xmas wrapping paper flags. Everything about tonight was the very reason I don’t want city in the prem. Give me 13k “idiots” week in week out who actually love our club rather then those quick to judge for people just having a bit of fun & enjoying the night the they have waited for. So proud of our team tonight but some of our “fans” were nothing short of embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxton Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Happened right next to me. As previous posters have said, the older guy took exception to comments (which to be fair, didn’t seem to be aimed at any one individual) made by younger fan about people clapping Aguero off. Before he even had a chance to respond, the older guy lunged straight towards him. Refused to calm down and even tried to fight the copper who came down steps to intervene. Deeply embarrassing, and unwelcome distraction from arguably our best spell of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total tinpot ******* Man City were piling on the pressure at the time and we still had 60 minutes left of the game to get a goal for **** sake, which at the time was all we needed. Doing that slowed them down and took away their rhythm. Oh and it was funny, lighten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 0-0 not 0-1 so you've got that wrong. They were piling on the pressure at that time and it prevented them taking a quick corner which they'd previously been doing and wanted to do again (which is why Sane and De Bruyne both ran over there). It slowed them down, took away their rhythm and helped us regroup. All we needed at the time was a goal from the remaining 60 minutes of the game to take it to ET, and all the time gets added back on at the end of the half anyway, so I can't understand why some people have gotten so worked up about it. Was also a good laugh. So personally, I wouldn't say it was "weird and embarrassing !!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine 're slowing the game down but of course when a team does exactly the same to us those same people go mental because of time wasting. Personally I'd say it's debatable to call it funny.
