Glenn Murray...wanker

[KNC]

Its sad, it really is. If he wants away,as seems to be, then he should just go. BUT......but all the time he is in employment of our club, OUR CLUB, he should have the decency to put in a shift.I was there, but didnt see what happened after. He is a 'professional', and as such he should act as a professional. He signed for US. Signed a contract. To play for BHAFC.
OK, his wife can't settle here. I can understand this. Im sure the club have been helping him. What, I believe he cannot handle, is that no clubs have been in for him.
Would you invest in someone, who, at a whim, for whatever reason, decides the area/ shops/buses/houses...people, dont quite match up.

I agree, he is a great player. But, I dont want a player who won't give his all for the shirt.

The Wizard puts it exactly as it was.
It's irrelevant to discuss the timing of RS calling the players for the huddle, the fact is that they were all within huddling distance of each other as you would expect a team to be after a game whereas GM was buying his train ticket to the north west.

I know there is already shitloads of threads about this, but with all due respect to those starting them, not one of them seems to have actually explained what happened for the benefit of those who were not there, giving scope for those not there to offer ill-informed views such as "what, well do you expect if you boo him?"

Firstly, I would like to say I have been a huge Murray fan since he joined and have defended him on here numerous times against those slagging him off. However, what he did today was an absolute f***ing DISGRACE and he should go now.

Right:

He came on in the 2nd half and got a BRILLIANT reception from the fans who loudly cheered him on to the pitch. There were then several new chants about Murray (all positive) which were heard numerous times whenever he did anything even vaguely good (one for example, to the tune of the old "Charlie Oatway" chant).

Not once did I hear anything derogatory about him. He put himself about well and looked in good nick, even getting booked.

Then at the end of the game, he decided to shun the players post-match huddle. Stunning arrogance. After ignoring his team-mates, he ran over to the opposition goalie in front of the away fans and then immediately ran off down the tunnel (the players had not even finished their huddle at this stage) on his own without acknowledging the fans in any way. The fact that he did this seperately from all the players to make a point makes it even worse.

The abuse he got after that was very sad, but entirely warranted.

Spot on.

As opposed to Bens Grandads warped view.....that is an accurate acount of what ACTUALLY happened.

He came over, had a chat with the goal keeper. Had a look at us then just strolled off.

Disagree - in my opinion he did not even look in our direction, but I admit that I might have blinked.

Spot on, this is exactly how I remembered it.

I was'nt there so cant comment about it at all, but ur opinion seems a completely objective one rather than some or the more subjective comments on here!!

 

[Don Quixote]

He had a bemused smile, a sly cunning face. I think he's probably been sold and has done this cos he is stubborn and heard someone shout something about his wife or something.

 

[Djmiles]

Yup that's exactly how I saw it too.

 

[Statto]

Exactly right, CC. I was nearly in line with the incedent and i couldn't believe he had done it. He was Quite rightly booed by all around us.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Murray is an utter C*NT always has been always will be. He should never put the shirt on again.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Haven't we had this discussion before last year?

 

[Zeff]

Glen Murray is without doubt a quality football player. We all know he wants away, and we have to accept this, which most of us do.

He gets paid bloody good money to put on a Brighton shirt week in and week out, something all of us on here would do for nothing.

What we were actually doing when he walked towards us was willing him to show his appreciation for the near 2000 fans who had travelled today and given him a very good receiption, for him to ignore all of us beggars belief.

Russell said recently "Glen has burnt some bridges" Well the one he burnt today, was the size of the Dartford Crossing.

 

[minnieme]

While I will agree that we do have some numptys in the fan base, Murrays actions were very calculated:

Before the game when the players took to the field for the usual pitch inspection, every player coming onfield turned towards the travelling fan and applauded. Except one, who was 'busy' reading his match programme.

At the end of the game, he decided not to remain with the rest of the team in the middle of the field, but walked towards the visiting fans, shook the home goalkeepers hand, and then turned to walk off the field to the dressing room. He could easily have raised one hand to acknowledge the fans - and by doing so would have pulled the rug from under the feet of many of his distractors and won over the waverers; but no - he came downfield to make it very clear that he wanted to snub the fans. He may as well have waved two fingers.

When the team came back on the field for the warmdown, there was a look of astonishment on many of the players faces at the intensity of the hostility to Murray.

Now he'll whinge that he wants away as the fans don't like him.

He let so many people down today: the fans, his fellow players, his manager, his club, and himself too. Just like Neil McNab all those years ago.

Glenn: sorry mate, but what you did today was a calculated part of your exit strategy. You are no longer fit to wear the stripes.

 

[mccraque]

some of you are f***ing idiots. Tale Lescott. He has asked for a transfer. the Everton fans let him know they love him. He'll stay. Why would Glen stay when some of you pricks boo him? Such a good player and you lot are so keen to lose him. Well done. Knob jockeys.

Murray wants away because his missus wants to go back up North. it won't matter how much you lick his arse he wants away. Nothing to do with the fans.

I agree with this statement!

Precisely how I saw it. And I was one of the very few left when he came out for the warm down; the bloke just smugly smiled back. Never want to see him in an Albion shirt again. He might as well as stole the money from my wallet today. Arsehole of the highest order.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

I trust all the people sticking up for him where at the game today? if you support him anyway then fair play and I accept your opinion but today Murray was an out of order little C*nt.

We clapped and cheered him on with a whole heart bellowing of "super Glenn" but then at the end he deliberately came up close to the fans and blanked them. At this point we where not abusing him and were singing his name off the pitch but as his reaction remained sour and pitiful, and Slade talked to 10 players, the fans rightfully turned and expressed their opinions.

Now it is very rare that I will be negative and criticize individuals on here but that twat has lost all the respect and support I have shown him in the past. Good riddance to a cocky, lazy, arrogant, little shit.
