I’m sorry mate but clapping the players for what ? I saw people clapping them as well give your head a wobble if anyone was clapping
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Only wetwipes clap after a result like that. They're professional athletes not children. They need a bit of abuse to remind them there's a minimum expectation every time they put on the shirt, which none of them met today.
*Edit* abuse as in being shown a bit of anger and being told bluntly it's not good enough. Not being sworn or insulted at.

This.
I wasn’t screaming obscenities at them, like a few were, at the end but I wasn’t applauding that ‘performance’ either.

Yeah, abusing the players is going to really help. Literally the only people doing that at full time were some spotty teenagers who'd had too many alcopops. The players know they f**ked up. They don't need people shouting abuse.

Don't think anyone was applauding the performance.

But he has made exceptions. Everton away for example.
Today was definitely an exception.

What a nause, if the players walked away you’d be moaning. They’re still our team and we’ll fight another day regardless of the manager. Do we just stand and stare at each other awkwardly? Give us some specifics please? Lots of love - a ‘wet wipe’.

I think he made the right call: get down the tunnel, and get ready for the players. A token clap may have triggered dogs abuse from some and what’s the point of that. His job is to look after the players after such a drubbing.

My support for the club is unconditional not my support for the players. I'm not saying people should insult or swear at them but they need a bit of a shouting at. Literally just being told bluntly that it's not f***ing good enough, because it wasn't today. The worst defeat in 67 years. Anyone clapping them needs a banning order.

It's a fair point.

You would ban about 80% of our travelling fans in that case.

Cheers Kevo, that’s made my day actually
I knew I’d say something sensible eventually after 20 years on here!I was going to write “That shower of shit” but decided to be polite for a change…

It's weird the things you get really angry about - I was absolutely apoplectic after the capitulation at Leicester, but today was just so bad... I mean, people around me were just laughing at the end. Gallows humour, I guess. Not that we shouldn't be angry about today, of course..
