just noticed this:
@OfficialBHAFC: #BHAFC #fansforum Gus says he hopes Wayne Bridge will be fit for Chelsea. Also confirms his team will form guard of honour for Euro Champs.

personally very embarrassed by this.

Why is this embarressing ?? two professional teams one giving the other gaurd of honour as they are euro champs, Bridges is a pro ffs its his job

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

It's their first game in England since winning Europes biggest prize. Not that embarrassed. Great achievement.

 

[Common as Mook]

Embarrassed? Do f*** off. It shows class. Southampton take note.

No need....is every prem fixture gonna repeat

We've had it done for us when we've won trophies and titles, so only fair that we reciprocate IMO.

That said, I still don't like the idea of them parading the trophy about - save that for Stamford Bridge.

personally very embarrassed by this.

why? you're embarressed our club is going to honor the reigning European champions? or that Bridge may have a personal issue with one of their players?

dont understand the dislike of Chelsea, just another club, who done very last year and have some cracking talent. if its about Bridge, he's probably moved on it or would do sooner if others dont keep raising it. either way, get over it.

Grow up, what Chelsea did was an amazing achievement, and deserves praise, and quite rightly were showing it to them

What a strange reaction. They are the CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE - I think it is very proper to show them some professional respect.

Why be embarrassed? It shows that BHAFC recognises what an achievement winning the European Cup/Champions League is. It is, after all, Chelsea FC and not John Terry FC. I cannot stand Chelsea FC and would have been happier had they not made the final-they did though and they deserve respect for their win.

 

[crasher]

Bridge is a professional so I'm sure he'll have no problem doing this.

(Especially as a certain person played no part in the Munich final. Snigger)

 

[perseus]

I suspect Wayne Bridge had a lucky escape

Not giving Chelsea a guard of honour for their first game in England since winning the biggest prize in European club football would be churlish in the extreme and show a complete lack of class. As has been said, we're not Southampton.

It might be worth considering that Chelsea would have had a lot of offers of friendlies and that it could be regarded as a compliment that they chose to play us. If they want to bring the Champions League trophy down and show it off, they're more than welcome.

Southampton did it for us in the last game at The Dell when we won Division 3. Was that embarressing for us or them?

^^^^^^ I'm 'personally very embarrassed' by this reaction...

 

[BHAFC_AMEX]

It would probably be more of an embarrassment if we didn't form a guard of honour. I'm sure we'd want other teams to do it for us. *cough* Southampton *cough*. Let's face it, if we were playing Barcelona an they had won it, we'd do a guard of honour for them.

As much as the whole Chelsea love-in has irritated me in the build-up to this game I fully agree with this. It shows class on behalf of the club as a whole and the team in particular. "Good manners cost nothing" as mum used to say.

 

[John Bumlick]

yeah how embarrassing to honour the team that just won the best club competition in the world thus making them (in a tangible but debatable sense) the best club side in the world at the moment. i'm sure Wayne Bridge would feel pretty good about honouring such an achievement. if he gives it the old *cough*wanker*cough* when you know who trots out, that's up to him.

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

I would suspect Wayne will be happy to do this ... he'll have friends and former colleagues that still are at Chelsea and suspect he is delighted for them.
