mossey Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Think the title says it all really, can't understand why people do it! Especially when the likely outcome is that their team could go on to lose the game. They have let the fans and rest of the team down. Am talking stupid reckless sending offs here, as in Saturdays game, not the unlucky, or bad ref ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I sat in disbelief when this happened on Saturday. I still can't get my head around why some clapped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Why clap the team off when they lose then? Every player who pulls on the red and white gets my full support so long as they play for us. Baker messed up, but an applause is my way of giving him my support as I lack the access to bring him back up any other way. Let's be fair, he knew he'd cocked up, he doesn't need telling.

As you say, an embarrassment. He got nothing but abuse from the Williams stand behind his dugout... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Depends on the circumstances I guess, but clapping NB off on Saturday seemed odd Last minute, 1 up against the G*s and Holloway is clean through, with Humphries breathing down his neck, I'd hope and pray Humphries takes him out before he can get his shot off and give away a free kick instead. Less chance of a goal, I'd clap Humphries from here to eternity for that 0-0 against Blackburn, in a dire, close game. Not having that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why clap a team if they lose? In general our team are trying not to lose and will put a shift in. When a player on a yellow gets a second, it is pretty stupid. Especially considering he could have been sent off before the 2nd yellow. So applauding such stupidity is stupid init. Why be stupid, why?!?!

Applauding your own player for being a complete **** makes no sense. Completely different situation to applauding the team off after a loss.

SuperDziek Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I remember Mark Aizlewood getting sent off against Brighton (I think) in the early 90's for laying the nut on one of their players. He then walked the longest way around the ground to the tunnel and got clapped by our fans as he walked past. Never understood that as we only had a narrow lead at the time and it put us in the brown stuff (again, I think! Long time ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said though chief, it was embarrassing - it didn't matter where the applause and adulation came from. He may be Bristolian but he just doesn't like us and he is a Gas fan. He's obviously mellowed now, and he sometimes seems to actually respect us a bit now. But, part of being a fan is the tribalism and blinkered support for our boys while despising our rivals. So why applaud him? I didn't get it. It wouldn't happen at the Memorial Ground if Joe Jordan, for example, strolled out of their tunnel in charge of another club. And I won't forget THAT You Tube video of Mr Holloway slagging us off. Am I being childish by bearing the grudge still? Undoubtedly! I will grow 'old' but not 'up'......

shelts Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 A professional acting in a park footballer. No clapp from me he cost us a chance of taking anything from that game.

Olympian Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I think a good cheer is a rightful reward for breaking someone's leg, but you could have a point if it's a Beckham like thing. Edit. I later thought of a meaning which would concern me more and in that case I wouldn't stop at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
