Some of our fans today...

[dannyboy]

Sadly that’s not a new development.

When we did actually get behind our players towards the end of last season we won almost every match.

If you tried to replicate the atmosphere of Chelsea and Palace from last year every week it'd be a complete fabrication and soon fall flat.

For what's it worth, I thought the fans did back the players yesterday. Any other big club wouldn't tolerate the last 30 years we've had to endure. Maybe it's the fact we've clapped along that's got us to where we are now. How long do Chelsea and Liverpool fans tolerate failure?

Then I’m sorry mate if you can’t see what is wrong with this then you’re apparently a bit of a Nob

I couldnt give a sh!t. They're taking us down. They got all the support they could have possibly got last year. And now revert to bottling it again.

Spare me if i dont cry over them being them being upset over a few words.

 

[dannyboy]

At least we agree on one thing, morons they are.

And because of that we deserve relegation? Come on. We'll get relegation because we have been disastrously managed over a long period of time. The supporters are the least to blame in all of this yet you're buying into the belief that it should be pinned on us.

 

[Austrax]

The entire football world is laughing at us, and its not the football team that its aimed at.

Amazing was unaware the rest of the football world was laughing at are board.

 

[Wat Tyler]

And thats exactly what the rest of the football world is saying today.

Many many many teams have been through worse than us and never attacked players and directors like this.

Not one player has been attacked, some muppet chased Gordon in his car.

And you need to be careful repeating the line that a director was attacked because frankly it is not believable.

I don’t condone what happened, I truly don’t. I think it’s a result of pent up frustration spilling out after seeing years and years of players just seemingly underperforming. Year after year we can guarantee that the players will put in a performance like that. It’s okay when it’s a one off but we’ve been thrashed, not beaten but thrashed by teams, that on paper, aren’t as good (beginning to think now we’re not as good as we think). It’s embarrassing and fans have just had enough. We just want to see some fight. If we go down fighting then fair enough but to not even put up a fight is just not good enough and I can all see there’s no fight in them which is really sad to see. No chance we stay up now. Yesterday‘s game should have been the start of the turnaround if we can’t beat Southampton then we won’t be beating anyone else. Maybe, just maybe, if we bring in a new manager we might do but brace yourselves as this is the year we finally get relegated.

It has happened to big clubs though, and they never attacked owners and players.

Liverpool fans wanted fsg out for not spending money….our owner has spent loads and delivered us a stadium…

Villa went down and hated their owner, but are back up and doing ok.

Leeds same.

Newcastle the same.

Other clubs have gone even further down, and what fans have stayed seem to be relatively happy watching their team compete at the games.

Sporting Lisbon fans did something similar to whats started yesterday with ours….and their players ripped up contracts and left the club.

Lazio and some ultras at other clubs attack training grounds…and seem more similar to what we are doing now.

Its all very horrible, ugly and toxic.

What part of a footballers job is to be chased, road blocked and intimidated by their own fans after a game?

Do they play in an office like regular people or in empty stadiums? No they play in front of fans, for fans, that the club is built on.

The fans are the custodians of the club hundreds of years before and after them. So if they're upset...I've no problems with what they're doing. The players should expect it due to where we are

If you want cheering and celebrating, you have to expect the negative side too.

If not. Leave.

Also...let's not pretend we're the only clubs fans who've done it. Go see Juve, Real, Porto, Barca fans etc when things aren't going well. Some club's fans invade the training grounds ffs

But its out their, the club and media have said it…thats enough, doesn't even need to be true.

The footage shows quite a number of fans blocking the roads, recording and shouting/screaming stuff, so lets not pretend it didn’t happen.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

Jags, barks, davies, osman, Keane,holgate, and many others
I’ve witnessed them all regress under the “fans support”

Such a good point.

We might think that our players should be immune to constant abuse from their own fans, but at the end of the day they’re young guys. Human beings.

We as fans need to own the part we have played in our club’s demise.

Are you seriously comparing Gordon getting chased to a massive assault?

A group of 'fans' broke into Sporting Lisbon's training facility and attacked its players, according to reports from Portugal.​

About 50 hooded men forced their way into Alcochete, Sporting Lisbon's training complex, on Tuesday, O Jogo reports.


The group managed to gain access to the locker room, where they allegedly attacked several players including Bas Dost, Josip Misic and Rodrigo Battaglia. Photos of a sizeable cut Dost sustained on his forehead during the incident have begun doing the rounds online.


You have to be trolling

 

[billyblue80]

95% did the right thing with the coach welcome and sit in but the lids giving players grief after need to pack that crap in they are playing into the boards hands. My fear is unless the manager goes and results pick up this could get even more ugly the board blaming fans and turning on us stokes the fires too

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

While I do not condone the actions of a tiny minority of people, football is a sport that is well known for passionate fans. They make billions from the passionate nature of the fans. Suddenly that passion is not wanted when it doesn’t suit them, sorry we cannot turn off our passion when you want.

Exactly. You'd think a gang hunted him down

They play in front of fans so they should be fair game for anything?

As custodians of the club, we should think about how those actions impact our clubs reputation. These players might leave, but we won't replace them with others who will rightly look at that behaviour and think 'nope'.
