GingerrrFox Posted 28 April 2013 Share Posted 28 April 2013 Personally I felt the call for fans to stay behind after the game as the players wanted to show their "appreciation for the season" was very bad timing. We had just been beaten (again) and are on the worse run any club in the Championship has been on this season. 2 wins in 16 games and falling from 2nd in January to 8th in April is not something that deserves to be applauded. I know it was our last home game of the season but really what cretin at the club thought it would still be a good PR stunt? You could tell the players couldn't be arsed at the final whistle and some even looked embarrassed to be doing it after a loss that pretty much ends our season (barring a slip up from other sides). Does anyone else think it was a shit idea or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 28 April 2013 Share Posted 28 April 2013 Not really, if you don't want to clap them then just leave the ground, those that do want to clap have their opportunity. Big deal about very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danizen Posted 28 April 2013 Share Posted 28 April 2013 I think the club felt obligated to do a 'parade'. They left it up to the fans whether to stay or not (the overwhelming majority choosing 'not) and I think that was the right thing to do. It's one of those situations where damned if you do, damned if you don't applies. I left on the final whistle and only saw a handful of fans stay in their seats so fair play to them.

jbfox Posted 28 April 2013 Share Posted 28 April 2013 I think you're missing the point on this. The reason for the players doing the lap of appreciation was for them to applaud the fans for their support. The fans that did stay, myself included, obviously applauded them out of a mutual sense, and I personally did because I felt the players did deserve it even though we have had the bad period, but the players were supposed to be showing their appreciation to the supporters. I was also impressed with the fact that Top and his dad joined for the lap, thought that was a really nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I get the point that they are applauding us but... 1) Sorry to break it to you but they don't really give a shit about the fans 2) It was bad timing as majority of the fans were annoyed hence the abuse they copped from certain areas of the crowd 3) They were clearly told to do it, it wasn't their choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l444ry Posted 29 April 2013 Share Posted 29 April 2013 Worse for timing is this LCFC awards evening. Should have been delayed until the season had actually ended for us. Shocking in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking in my opinion. They better not be ****ing boozing is all I'm gonna say. They can do that when the season is finished seeing as the game on Saturday is potentially massive.

blueblood88 Posted 30 April 2013 Share Posted 30 April 2013 They can't win with people like you supporting this club, I guarantee you'd be fuming if they just fvcked off down the tunnel at the final whistle and didn't bother coming back out.
