Did Burnley fans REALLY applaud CMS's wonder goal?

[Woodchip]

I remember the North Stand at Withdean cheering Stokes last goal in that drubbing they gave us at the end of the season a few years ago under Mcghee. Irony may have been a factor.

The South were cheering from their third. The best bit was Stoke erupting like they'd won the cup when Doug Loft got the consolation goal to make it 5-1.

I also remember the Chris Eagles goal that was a beaut from the halfway line. I think that may have got some polite applause out of me too.

 

[Don Quixote]

As did I, think in 2008? We lost 4-1 at home to Scunthorpe and Hooper scored a very good hatrick

That was the one, he was incredible.

Marco Gabbiadini?

Ah yes, just remembered one cracker that got applause at Withdean. Chris Eagles' (when on loan from Man U to, er, who was it??) perfectly flighted chip from the halfway line that soared beyond the flailing arms of Albion's hastily retreating and aghast custodian, before absolutely whanging into the net.

Was playing for Watford. Was one of the best goals I have seen live.

He only came on for the last twenty minutes or something and got MoM, that's how woeful it was

...And past Gary Hart rushing back....great goal...

 

[KZNSeagull]

Yes, definite applause - heard it on the radio at the time and in the extended highlights. It also shut Mr Angry up.

I seem to remember quite a few people applauding Oxford after they dicked us 3-0 in the FA Cup 81-82 at the Goldstone, whilst at the same time there were a few in the North Stand giving their striker Nazi salutes!! A truly awful afternoon!

 

[Safeway]

Watch 'Netbusters' or similar and you'll often see applause from opposition fans to a well taken goal.

 

[Return of the Rev]

i applauded murray's goal against us at the amex.

ditto

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I remember the Chris Eagles goal and applauding it. It was the only goal in a 1-0 win for Watford, where he was on loan at the time.

 

[Hillian1]

ditto

I didn't.

But I did applaud his non-celebration, showed a great deal of class especially after the abuse he took all night, from me included.

 

[Albion in the north]

Living only 8 miles from Burnley, being known as the only BHA fan in the area and owning the local shop, I had a few customers comment this morning and a number said that they had applauded CMS. I could hardly get my big smiling face through the door

History: Not only have I cheered an opposing goal one in 1965-66 but the crowd chanted their team name. Once only.

A goal that desrved a clap was the shock of Ray Train scoring of a goal for Rochdale in 71. Two problems: the result was much too important and it was too crowded to clap anyway.

I am trying to think of goals that deserve being clapped but apart from Ray Train's I cannot remember specific goals right now.

I can think of a good song for him ! They used to play it on Childrens' Favourites back in the late 50s.

Was a good laugh though. Loved the Stoke chant of "You're gonna win 6-5".

 

[Sheebo]

See post 13 here. Quote: "What was nice to see was the amount of sporting applause in the Longside upper for CMS's goal. (Me included).
It was a lesson in finishing and a pleasure to watch. What do you think his value is?"

Did that really happen? If so, fair play to those Clarets fans.

But would an Albion crowd EVER clap a match-winning goal by an opponent at the Amex?

Chris Eagles - funnily enough may have been for Burnley but I think maybe Watford. Half Way line ish at Withers - was on running track we were that bad then that it didn't hurt too much after an initial paddy to clap that goal...

 

[Sheebo]

I remember the Chris Eagles goal and applauding it. It was the only goal in a 1-0 win for Watford, where he was on loan at the time.

LOL - Didn't read the whole thread soz!

 

[Munkfish]

I remember celebrating a Barnet goal after we were spanking them, I even seem to remember them singing were shit and we no we are! Withers years, somewhere between 01-03.

 

[Perkino]

I've applauded opposition players for goals and general good play, it's a common trait of mine so much that I do it whilst watching motd sat in my living room

 

[collins91]

crofts goal against us for gillingham

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I think if that goal had been scored by the opposition against us in a game where we'd been totally outfootballed, the Amex would give a very generous round of applause. Why wouldn't you. It was an unreal goal

I was also at that Oxford game. Worst Albion performance that I've seen. I had the good grace to applaud Oxford off the pitch at the end. Mind you , look what happened to us in the cup 12 months later!
