Let’s be honest, CoH was all but sold to Burnley before his ACL on Boxing Day. Sisu needed the cash (and yes we would have pocketed a fee) we all know how the story goes. Gus was fantastic for us, but you don’t applaud him during the game, wait until the final whistle, just like we did for Madders. PUSB

Absolutely. Why on earth would you encourage a player of the opposition? Fucking madness.

Why the hell are people bothered about it? I clapped and I’m happy I did. The guy never wanted to leave us. He’s been berated by his own manager for coming to City games when he’s a SU player. The SINGLE most stupid decision this chairman (well, apart from getting rid of the best manager since Hill/Sillett) has made in recent times was not paying to keep him. People, laughingly in my opinion, said ‘No man is bigger than the club’. Well in this instance that was absolute bullshit. He was the cog that made everything tick. You could see MR desperately wanted the team to be moulded around him. And we couldn’t even pay him the extra he deserved. And now we’re spunking the money on Lampard! Jesus!

Anyway, apart from that rant!! I was really impressed with the boys today. They wanted it more and I absolutely loved the performance of Bertie. Already a legend!

He did want to leave us. Robins himself said it.

We had zero chance of keeping him compared to the wages a PL club could pay; plus he wanted to leave.

He wanted to leave, we took £15 million for him rather than nothing the following summer and we reinvested all the money into the squad.
Not sure what people want and it's why I can't take people seriously right now. It wasn't just a good decision, it was the only decision in reality.

Did you enjoy clapping your hands for the man who had just assisted a goal for the opposition and was also standing over the corner for them??

Embarrassing little wimp

You have fallen into the trap of this recent phenomenon of grown adult fans deciding & telling other grown adults:
When they can celebrate, when they can’t celebrate, when they can sing, what song they can sing, when they can’t sing a particular song. Which players they must like, which players you cannot like.

It’s weird as fuck pal!

Because he was sold. Simple. Thats football. But he clearly didn’t want to go. IMO.

He did.

He only wanted to stay if we went up, as he wanted to play PL football. We didn't, so he wanted to leave.

Doesn't mean he didn't enjoy his time here, or still feels an attachment to the club. But as a professional footballer he wanted to move, simple as that.

Exactly
Back in the day it was a common sight to see the crowd from both sets of supporters applaud good passages of play and goals.
I remember being at Vale Park a few years back when their keeper pulled off a save from an Armstrong or was it Kent shot and shouting something like 'what a fantastic save'

Jeez, if looks could kill from City fans around me.

I’m still happy to acknowledge a great goal/ save/ pass. And also applaud brilliant. players, or those that have given good service to us.

Whilst I didn’t clap Hamer when he came over the corner (think the right time to do it is after substitution or after the game), I’m certainly not getting worked up about people doing it.

Calling people “wimps”/ “cuckolds” etc for doing so is very strange behaviour. I do worry about people on here sometimes.

The irony is grown adults telling others they can't have an opinion on their strange behaviour.

Same with the Doug king song. Probably the same people waving their phone torch.

My view is our supporters who wanted to clap Hamer should have waited until he was substituted (or at the end of the game).
I'm old enough to have been at the 1987 Charity Shield game at Wembley against Everton and recall clearly being ashamed of our supporters enmasse singing "Everton Everton Everton" during Everton's Lap of honour, totally cringeworthy!!!.

Gus to MR on bus back from Wembley "I'm off Gaffer"
Gus to fans in summer - "Erm I want to stay, honest"

He wanted Out just as much as Cal but gets the red carpet cos he occasionally tips up at home games?

If this is what happened does anyone else think its a bit cuntish for Gus and anyone else to say this to Robins on the bus back from our wembley defeat. They could have left it a few days or weeks until the disappointment died down.

Hamer was always going to go having not secured promotion according to my one and only reputable source at the time. It's the only occasion I've been ITK and unlikely I ever will be again.
Quite when he made it known to MR I don't know.

Where did I say they couldn’t have an opinion? An opinion would be, that you might disagree with others clapping a former player, fine, but you also don’t have to get emotional about others doing it.

For the record, I never once said I clapped or even condoned it. I just thought it was hilarious that someone said that they had “lost respect” for a load of strangers … for clapping at something.

Even you, can see that is funny.

Blimey don't remember that.... embarrassing. We deserved the 30 years of obscurity for that!

It's weird. I get doing it afterwards, but not during the game when they're on the attack. I reckon some do it for some weird kind of supporter points. Log onto the opposition forum and get a warm glow when they read, "Coventry fans were great today, they applauded so-and-so".

I will warmly clap a former player after the game, like we did with Maddison and like we did with Fadz at Blackburn for those that were there, but during the game? Never. It's odd behaviour.
