[Football] Players who try to get the crowd going

[Superphil]

Not really a bug bear for me, it does get the crowd livened up a bit so what’s the problem

I don’t think it’s a Brighton thing, a Spurs player was doing it at WHL today.

Pedro waving his arms at the crowd always really winds up the guy that sits to my right at the Amex.

You’d think the players would notice that the atmosphere gets better when they play well though.

Pedro doing it when the team have done nothing inspiring, like halfway through the first half yesterday, is as embarrassing as his histrionics every time he gets a knock. It really wound me up yesterday and I reacted too TBH.

I love seeing his silky play and when he is playing progressively it's a joy to watch but he needs to learn that graft, strength and tenaciousness are what drive the crowd. Especially when he is wearing the captain's armband.

Pedro doing it yesterday after a Baleba's shot went out for a throwing...

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I'm very happy to see a player rouse the crowd to sing a bit. If Pedro senses that the players need a lift, I'm all for it.

West Upper?
Block H?

Yeah, that guy is me!

 

[Bozza]

At time, I did think our flamboyant young Brazilan had broken out into an impromptu Birdie Song dance.

East lower but I bet there’s a fair few of you about

Which caused widespread laughter in my block

Watching the Forest Liverpool match and Murillo just tried to gee the crowd up. My son said it’s always the Brazilian players that try to do this and while I have no idea if that’s correct it does feel like it is.

I'd raise you to South American with Enciso a regular at it

 

[TugWilson]

We`re all in it together so nothing wrong with geeing each other up , especially if it helps the atmosphere

Honestly, some of the individuals comments on here, you’d think the players in question were asking to move in with their wife

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Pedro doing it yesterday after a Baleba's shot went out for a throwing...

And again yesterday after one of our 'shots off-target' damn near hit the corner flag

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Pedro wants to concentrate on his own game, he was absolutely pathetic yesterday.

Like I said on another thread, it's a deflection mechanism intended to convey that any shortcoming lies with the fans rather than the players. As you say, pathetic

 

[crabface]

First time it wound me up yesterday, if the players performed the crowd would get going. Pedro was dreadful yesterday, almost insulting to try and gee up the crowd.

 

[Cheggers]

I didn't mind it at all previously, but it's getting on my nerves now. How about they give us something to cheer about. How many times is there a pass on, but instead [insert player name] runs forward with the ball into trouble and loses the ball? It's so ponderous and predictable.

Yup. If we wanted cheerleaders, we'd bring back Gully's Girls
