We spent our hard earned money going up there to support him and the team. He didn't join in the post game huddle and he walked off completely blanking the fans who were cheering for him during the match. So no we're not over reacting. The bloke's a c*nt and can piss off. He doesn't deserve an Albion shirt.

:laugh: you go bruv, don't hold back just tell it how it is, which by the way is exactly how it was. I think the people defending him didn't even bother to get off their fat arses & go & support the team, if they had bothered to go & spend money like the rest of us they would be pissed off as well:rant: over.

Forster didn't clap the fans after his first competetive match in a Brighton shirt, he just went straight down the tunnel (away at Crewe). I seem to remember there was a thread on it, but the board didn't go into meltdown. Different circumstances, I understand, but I feel there is a bit of a Glenn Murray witch-hunt on NSC at the moment.

If it were me (and it wasn't), I wouldn't want to clap the fans having received abuse from a section of the crowd during the match.

I am one of the people on here who wouldn't have Glenn Murray in our starting 11, however I really do not understand why fans need to boo their own players. Slade said at the end of last season that it was the fans that made the different... based on some (a minority still... I think) of the comments on here, our performance as fans seems to be going backwards.

It was the whole crowd booing Murray off. It doesn't matter what happened in 1983, this is now and the players are ordered by the management team to clap the fans. Glenn Murray made a deliberate attempt to annoy the fans and make them feel like peasants and that he was all high and mighty. Another thing was that he only shook the keepers hand who Murray had seen be a complete dick towards the traveling support and to go and joke and talk to him in front of us was another deliberate ploy.

He didn't receive abuse!! And if there was it was probably that Lee from H block again or probably from about 3 portly chavs. He was supported, cheered and clapped through the games entirety and the level of support reached it's peek when he ran off in front of us only for him to ignore uis like the smarmy git he is.

Agree completely.

An element of patience is what is asked for, and we won't win points or even score a goal by focusing on this shite.

for me, its got NOTHING to do with the fact he didnt clap the fans. who really gives a toss about that?

it was the fact he came over to the fans, and then just STORMED off down the tunnel. while the rest of his TEAM MATES were in the middle of the pitch with slade. disrespectful to the fans it may have been - but it was certainly far far more disrespectful to his team mates and management

it showed he didnt want to be part of the team, and if that is the case he should just f***ing do one

What I can't believe is so many of you were still in the ground at the end!!

There is a pub on every corner of the ground!!

People need to chill the f*** out, NONE of you really know what is going on with Murray, let Slade and the people that do know sort it out.

If it is the case that the bloke is a grade A penis then we need to get rid of the bloke by the end of the month. You lot slagging him off in every thread isn't going to do anything positive to his price tag.

once again Arthur is the voice of reason.

I recall when I was a pissed up teenager (or early 20s hum hum) at games I got into a bad place because Gary Chivers made some derogatory comments to fans at a game and I was overheard by Jon Vinnicombe telling Ian Hart about it at the cricket. When I'd had a few more, JV asked me the details and I agreed to let him quote me.

There it was, on the back page of the Argus with my name (a real one not this fake user name malarkey). When you look back, it really wasn't a big issue and I'm sure many who are being a trifle precious now will feel the same in a few weeks/momths/years time.

One good thing came out of it though - Chivers did clap the fans at the next game. More a pyrhic victory than anything manager :shrug:

thats the bit that got me, don't give a toss if they clap the fans or not. It was the quick movement to their keeper shake hands and off down the tunnel while the rest of the players were still shaking hands with brentford, it was like a bit f*** you to the rest of the squad. Seemed to be having a laugh with Forster during the warm up in the half time interval so was shocked by it.

Performers in all walks of life (and, ultimately, that is what sports professionals are) and the people who pay to watch them have an implicit understanding that has become convention over the years. The performers try their hardest to the utmost of their ability and the people who pay to watch them applaud to varying degrees. Applies to concerts, theatre, sport. The performers acknowledge this applause with encores, curtain calls or applauding the spectators.

Yesterday, it was Glenn Murray who broke with that convention, not the supporters. In my view, he had done nothing to merit applause, but I still applauded him from the pitch. The fact that he could not abide by the convention means he deserves everything coming his way from the club and the fans.

By way of contrast, I bookended the match with a visit to the Mick Jones (Clash) archive which he has made freely available to the public and then to the theatre for the Spike Milligan adaptation, in which five unknown actors (probably of relatively similar stature, professionally, to Murray) worked their proverbial bollocks off and were rewarded with a standing ovation.
