Bar BS3 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 After the Euro's I cringed at the thought of every club taking this on. However, since we actually signed an Icelandic international, I kind of liked the impulsive clap as it spread round the ground. So, it appeared, did Magners, so I think it's all good and a bit of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I thought it was impressive the first time it was done, the second time (I think when he actually took the free kick) only about 1 in 10 people put there hands above there head and they just clapped so it was more like a hospital clap. If we're going to do it we have to do it properly or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjmcity Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Sounded cringe when we heard he was signing to do it. Spread quite spontaneously on Saturday which I thought was good and then again at the start of injury time when hordur was trying to gee up the ground. ayteo and dolman a b doing the clapwhen he was saluting the crowd post game, seemed to enjoy it 'worshipped' the crowd and patted the badge. Said at the time for players like him and Tammy it must be great, come from big clubs where your not really known by your supporters yet to here where your efforts are being appreciated week in week out, must be exciting for them to learn what football can really be about apart from just doing something you love each day and the money and lifestyle it affords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The point is, Magners likes it so why not do it? If it also helps to confuse an opposition keeper then that`s a bonus. If doing it helps us get a goal then frankly I don`t care how `cringy` some people think it is - I`d sing a selection of Barry Manilow hits if I thought it would help us win games.

I've said on another thread that Tomlin should have all free kicks in and around the area with Magnusson having a go from 30/35 yards, but nothing wrong with both lining up to confuse the opposition. Absolutely, it`s the right/left options that confuses the defence and keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what was his alternative? He wouldn't have been 'Star Man' in many teams who could afford him ( or he would have considered). He looks like he had to leave Bournemouth and unlikely to get another Prem team where he would be the token star. I do think though he seems to need to feel the love of the fans, so was glad for him when he did score as he looked really miffed when Tammy got 'his' goal just before.
