Loved him as a player at that time. He was exactly what we needed. Complete wrongun, but that's OK, many people are.
Wouldn't be anywhere near our team for the least three seasons, and he's playing at the right level now.

On the pitch I liked him a lot, at his peak he was on par with Dunk. I remember a lot of games Duffy would shout at Dunk to stop whining, he's probably one of a very few players who could get away with that, but it was needed. Even players like Dunk needed to be shouted at and Duffy had gained the respect to be able to do it.

Love Duffy, think he was underrated on the ball too. He was no stranger to pinging a diag or long ball in the same vein as Dunk.
Used to like watching him and Dunk in the warm ups pinging long balls to each other too.

Really? He absolutely epitomised our march to the Premier League. Limited at the very highest level but decent in the Championship and was integral to a defence that never threatened to look bad enough for relegation and got us to a FAC Semi. We hardly ever got spanked in the Prem, even in the early years.
I loved him.

loved him time here and he was a great example of someone who gave 100% effort to the team and didn’t suffer fools gladly.

Absolutely brilliant reception tonight. Seemed almost embarrassed by all the love from the away support.

Living the dream
Dunk and Duffy were the absolute rock that Hughton built on in the first season to avoid relegation and then next season to get automatic promotion followed by keeping us in the PL. They were a beastly duo.

Yep all of this.
Big Shane was superb for us., when we needed him.
And respectful, when that time passed.
Dunk and Duffy were the most formidable partnership, with the low block required to keep us in the Premier League.
Duffy also chipped in with 7 premier League goals for us (including 5 in that arduous18/19 season.)
One of many crucial players, responsible for where we are today.

Well OTT all that Duffy love-in yesterday.
"Duffy scores, we're on the pitch....."
Acknowledge his arrival on the pitch with polite applause then cheer our lads on.

A few people have replied to me about this such as @Simster
It was actually a joke, a clearly failed bit of NSC silliness
it was because the poster directly above had just giving a gushing love letter to Shane. Which is great because I love him too.In short; failed joke.

Nah, you're wrong there.
Game was won.
We came out with a slightly amusing chant for the big man.
It was totally in keeping with the fans relationship with Shane.
His celebration of Maupay's equaliser at Selhurst PArk was well OTT.
But we love him for that and countless other moments in his Albion career.
Polite rounds of applause are for the likes of Lallana, Bissouma and Oliver Norwood

Surely it’s only the anti Irish weirdos who would begrudge Shane? Yes he stood up for Derry but every normal person who comes from there does that. Absolutely gave his heart and soul to Brighton

Wow, what a jump that is.
I feel a load more affiliation to the likes of Stephens and Kayal. Totally football based view.
Will always love Shane for scoring first in Ireland's 5-1 loss to Denmark in the 2018 World Cup play-offs.
My biggest-ever returns on a bet. Legend.

Offends me when this is done. The line "loves me better" has been replaced with "like Shane Duffy"
I won't sing it on principle

100% this. Game well won. Would have been fuckin hilarious if he’d headed in a consolation amid “limbs” from the wrong end. (Not so funny if it quickly became 2-4 and the pressure was on etc, but personally I’d have taken that chance
, but then again I’m a weirdo)

We all see things differently.
For me, every member of the promotion team are legends.
Players like Duffy, who were an integral part of that team, doubly so.
