[Albion] Giving Kompany a Standing Ovation

[StonehamPark]

The season is over, we are going into our 3rd year in the Premier League.
NSC has been a bit of a pit of negativity for the past few months or so.
Let's please make this the very last thing to moan about and look forward to the rumours, transfers and summer in general.

 

[Is it PotG?]

A perfect example of where we are today, football fan wise.

Whether for the better or worse is down to the individual, but today for me, after watching the game for many moons at many levels, sums up precisely the status quo.

Blimey. I reckon virtually every single City fan applauded at length when Bruno was making his way off. Not sure how you could have missed it. Fair play to them. Pretty sure this directly impacted most of us giving Kompany a decent send off.

If we’d just won the Premier League I’d have applauded everybody

Even the referee was applauding him.

Enriched by the passing of brown envelopes over the years.

I clapped him, superb player who may be hanging up his boots. I am a football fan and see no issue with clapping and appreciating players from other teams if it is well deserved. Citeh fans clapped Bruno too.

Exactly. We’re die hard BHA fans but no shame in giving respect to a great player at the end of his career and a great pro. It was classy.

Personally gave all the English City players a clap when they got their medals. Although did boo Walker just for fun.

I did wonder if they’d have been so gracious if we were 2-0 up at the time [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

My son said the same to me. I didn't have the best afternoon and did a fair bit of ranting when kompany went off. For the first time ever, I sent myself to the vomitory for 5 minutes to cool off as I was losing the plot. I am very disenchanted with football atm but can't seem to shake off my love for Albion. In fairness, that was a class act from the city fans, and players, credit where credit was due.

You can 100% guarantee that every City fan would have been hurling abuse and been telling him to get off the ****ing pitch quickly.

Sorry - just don’t get it....

From Bruno?

From Bruno?

Alas, yes.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Same reason as so many applauded Gerrard when, after a lengthy layoff, he made a comeback as a sub for Liverpool at the Amex.

There are plenty of Albion season ticket holders who are Premier League/football fans rather than Brighton fans....imo

Or football fans.

 

[Icy Gull]

Or football fans.

I said that didn’t I?


Maybe you meant Brighton fans who are also football fans?

 

[Weststander]

Or football fans.

Or fans of the stuff served up by CH?

Respect for a top player who seems like a very decent chap. Same as they did for Bruno. Pretty commonplace for oppo fans to show respect in that way.

Silly question by the op imo.

 

[BN41Albion]

I was pretty enraged by that. I didn't see City fans giving Bruno an ovation but I'd have preferred had we recognised that we had been outclassed by kompany's team and he was the enemy. All I was feeling was bitter disappointment that we'd capitulated or rather been shown up so badly on the last day of the season.

Enraged! You need to get out more pal

All city fans applauded Bruno. Unsure how you missed that!!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Does it make you a better Brighton fan than somebody that did?

We're not talking about Brighton, we're talking about a City player who received more love from our fans from just walking off the pitch than Barnes (ex non league) received throughout his whole time with us.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Class from the Albion fans, I applauded as he is a great player and good manners cost nothing as mum used to say. The city fans and players respected Bruno so I see no problem doing the same for Kompany.

I must be silly then.

Because I really didn’t understand it....
