Why did Chair look so subdued today? He seemed half-hearted in his goal celebrations and after the final whistle he seemed downright despondent.
Was he just exhausted after running his heart out in the wind and rain? Was I just imagining it? Thoughts? |  |

Chair is my favourite player. If he tires of this kicking a ball about lark, he can come over and cut a bit of wood with me. |
These euphemisms arenβt as subtle as they used to be. |  | | |

You're absolutely spot on Brian. I really value the comments of a lot of people on here who can't get to games but watch on screen. It all adds to the info on the game. There are some things that are easier sometimes to see on screen as you see them closer up, and others that are easier to see live, such as the running off the ball. I've actually said on here though that I've never quite sure that I've seen something correctly until I've checked what you've said about it!
I certainly don't think anyone on here is a lesser fan. I'm also on FB groups and Twitter and they're who I'm talking about, when they say things like Chair and Dieng are not good enough to play in the Championship or they've let us down. When that's on Twitter, it's not helpful to the players.
I was just saying that I'm pleased that the fans at matches are more supportive than these KB Warriors and counteract some of the counterproductive SM posts. As the players actually hear them applauding them it must help.
I hope that clears things up, |
I appreciate this post. As one of the antagonists, I was really responding to Clive's parting comment on his (otherwise tasty as usual) WBA report about how all the fans who were there were much more supportive of the team than those who weren't, which I found a bit silly and unfair, and certainly a 'broad brush' provocation unworthy of his own keyboard and said so (see my post thereon).
What differentiates a 'true' supporter who watches games live, a fan who doesn't/can't but is no less passionate for that, a 'glass half empty' commentator, and a 'keyboard warrior'? They're hardly scientifically insulated categories. For me, there are just fans who are more or less eloquent, with more or less of interest to say. The ones I like here are the opinionated kind with a passionate viewpoint of their own, who aren't afraid to go against the consensus, but in a way that doesn't just abuse people stupidly. All the best fans are a bit benignly mad that way.
PS Random fact - the late Prince (His Purple Raininess) didn't like the word 'fan', since, as he pointed out, it's short for 'fanatic'. [Post edited 30 Sep 2021 13:44]

I'd agree. But I'd also caveat by saying that a fan who just continually posts negative nonsense, sometimes abusive, all over social media without much, if anything, that is constructive, is not much of a fan, however much they purport to 'care' or be 'passionate about my club.' | |

I notice that Chair is now shooting across the keeper and to the far post more often (he always used to go for the near post). This is more sensible as there is more of a chance for somebody else to get a goal from a rebound. |  |

Didn't look subdued at all, not sure what you've seen there Dylan. Was laughing and smiling and chucking his shirt to kids as he left the pitch.
Possibly upset by the ludicrous criticism on Friday for one bloody mistake, and I don't blame him, considering how good he is for us.
Not sure we've ever had a player come through the ranks and be so underappreciated by our fans. Bewildering. Otherwise, he was an absolute ball of energy all night. |
"Not sure we've ever had a player come through the ranks and be so underappreciated by our fans"
Don't have to look much further back than Eze a couple of years ago to be fair.
I think we've just been starved of talent coming through the pipeline and as a result (some) fans apply the same standards and expectations to a young player as an established pro. Couldn't be happier that this is changing in front of our eyes. |  | | |

When ever Iβve seen this kid play, I always leave with the impression this kid can play!
Enjoy him while weβve got him. |  |
