And how would you feel after being treated so shabbily by this clubs ‘fans’ and I’m not just talking about the recent chants (which would be bad enough if about your wife/girlfriend/partner), for some time people have been posting on here and shouting at the ground that he is ‘crap’ and/or ‘lazy’, even if meant as a joke these chants/posts would have me livid and in no way align me to the clubs ‘fans’.
Why do Brighton fans like HOUNDING out our better players?
I remember everyone saying replacing Hammond would be easy...
Can't be bothered to read through the remaining six pages of this thread, but suffice to say this post and Chesney's are spot on. Murray's actions at the end of the game were a calculated snub to teammates and supporters, I'm not entirely sure he deserves the title "professional" footballer anymore, he is anything but professional.
He got a fantastic reception when he came on, lots of positive chanting, I didn't hear any abuse at all, which makes his behaviour even more disgraceful.
Definitely. Up until that point I actually liked Murray. Now he can f*** right off.
The real ill feeling started with him handing in a transfer request.
So 6 months into his career with us then.
:mendoza:
Murray is not doing himself any favours by snubbing supporters in this way but I have some sympathy for his plight.
He is desperate for a move back north due to complicated domestic circumstances which, frankly, are none of our business.
It is also important to bear in mind that he continues to be plagued by hernia problems, despite travelling to Germany for surgery in the latter part of last season
Nail on head. If there was any abuse, it would surely have been drowned out by the loud positive cheering of the majority? The only negative bit I heard was a bit of a boo from the left hand side of the stand (facing the pitch) when he came on, which was greeted by 'f*** off you tards' or words to that effect from the majority of the people where I was on the right. When he approached the stand after the game he got a loud round of applause and deliberately looked away, all after snubbing the team huddle.
Sorry Glenn that's not the transfer request I meant. How's the wife?
So, certain transfer requests are more annoying than others, are they?
He was FORCED TO COME HERE. Why is everyone being so unbelievably thick? No one is remembering any context at all here.
He was forced to come somewhere he didn't want to be, then treated like shit. I'd sure LOVE those fans, wouldn't you?
Brilliant. Give yourselves a pat on the back. You've forced our best player out.
If he was FORCED to come here, why would he need FORCING to leave? Get a clue Glenn you're not a victim!
He was forcibly sold by Rochdale. They needed the money. That is common knowledge.
