One in the eye for all those Fam-knockers out there 

The childish point-scoring on here regarding Fam is just embarrassing - whenever he scores for City loads just can’t wait to post comments like yours above on the matchday threads (obviously not at the games then) and when he misses a sitter loads do just the same to criticise him.

It’s no secret that I don’t particularly rate him as a good striker - but the tit for tat posts like yours are just boring ...

If Fam played like he did for most of the 60/70 minutes he was on the pitch on Saturday, every week, then I think he gives us something, and he’d be backed by the fans.

This season there haven’t been anything like that type of performance unfortunately.  If Saturday was him turning the corner, aided by a confidence boosting goal against Brazil, then fantastic.  We really need him to start producing goals and performances.

Fam returning to training like t55uVPw.gif

On a serious note, I found it odd not one single City player posted an Insta story congratulating Fam or highlighting his goal. Often see it from our squad for other players and even ones that half left our club - you know the thing love emojis or buzzing for player name - but nothing. 

Often wondered what sort of relationship Fam has with the squad - Afobe was going to player get togethers within weeks of joining but you never see Fam at them. I know he is deeply religious and has a young family but I wonder if there is more to it. Wasn't something made when he first joined of him being a bit distant and keeping his earphones in and not mixing?

I don't follow all of them and won't claim to have forensically checked - but Korey and Janneh both posted. And plenty have replied to Fam's own post saying variations on "well done": Massengo, Palmer, Paterson, plus ex players like Flint and Reid.

Dunno how much to read into it - I don't exactly congratulate my colleagues publically on social media when they send a great email.

Weird. I was looking at Insta a few hours after the game and Korey didn't seem to have posted anything in his story unless I missed it. Certainly didn't see any other senior players post so still struck me as sad. Always readily "buzzing" for others!

I think he maybe just keeps himself to himself. I saw them all training in Tampa and wouldn't describe him as looking notably isolated. Might not be in the core of the core group of "lads" but I'm not worried.

I think Fam’s just that guy at work that gets on well with everyone but doesn’t socialise outside of work. That image from earlier in the season where KP & Afobe are celebrating and Fam (an unused substitute) looks as delighted in the background. The players also all celebrate with him when he scores.

As an aside, I’ve been noting how many of our players go and celebrate with the goal scorer than with other teams, it is often quite a difference. I think LJ has done a decent job of putting together a squad that have a good spirit and want each other to do well....a consequence of the oft maligned DNA? (Dare I say it, best team spirit since that L1 team?)

Team-mates and ex Team-mates who commented:

Korey Smith, Lloyd Kelly, Marlon Pack, Liam Walsh, Antoine Semenyo, Jay Dasilva, Adam Webster, Kasey Palmer, Jamie Paterson, Han-Noah Massengo, Taylor Moore, Aden Flint, Bobby Reid.

Football players block instagram stalker shock. :whistle:

Fam haters, where you at? tenor.gif?itemid=10245867

I'm certainly not a "hater"

But did ANYONE actually watch the game to judge how Fam played? 

It's great he scored a penalty but lets not get too ahead of ourselves, he needs to do it for us over a longer time if he's going to get his starting position back

But no-ones saying he played amazing and must lead our attack for the next 10 years.

People have just recognised that our player has scored an international goal against Brazil and that is a good thing, regardless if it's a penalty, came off his backside or was a 30 yard screamer.

It's the sort of thing Fam will look back on his career and tell his grandkids that "I scored against Brazil".

Well done that man Fam.

Is he the first active City player to score against Brazil?  I wouldn't be surprised if perhaps the likes of Agostino, Goater, Goodridge might have bagged one back in the nineties for one of their international sides, but can't recall hearing of it.

Hate to disappoint you but he already has, he's our starting default striker ?

Give the guy a break FFS.   He just scored a goal against Brazil, while playing alongside Sadio Mane ( A Champions League Winner)..........this is not a time for bickering.   This a time to offer congratuations to Fam for a great penalty, and a big thankyou for putting Bristol City in the spotlight, and giving us a higher profile.   Thanks Fam!

His scoring rate for us ain’t bad is it?

The first line of my reply is a clue 

I just can't see why so many people are getting themselves in a frenzy because he scored a penalty in a game, when clearly nobody has a clue how he played in the game
