Big mac did well last night, and though not his greatest fan to say the least, he did clap as he walked of.
Then again when that final whistle went, there wasn't many of us to clap to!

Perhaps as most of the fans feel the need to constantly slate him, he didn't want to go and clap them.

I was at the Luton away game the report refers to. I couldn't have told you who was in charge but I do remember him having an absolute stinker. I think Cullip conceded a pen which looked harsh, and then Knight was booked for being hacked down in the box in the second half.
There were other incidents as well, that he just didn't see at all. Whoever the big lump of the day was - Benjy I think - he also got some rough treatment that was never given our way. Sounds like McCammon received similar last night.
I do remember coming away that night thinking, "yeah we were poor, but if we'd just got some of those decisions ...."

Not an excuse. People have paid decent money to go up there to support the side, it is not hard to walk over and clap. This used to really annoy me with going abroad with England, where certain players just did not acknowledge the fans. It is better now as Beckham always does and most of the others follow suit.

Not that I can remember. But the players always seem to these days.
To be honest the last away game I did was Madrid and it was a bit of a case of dodge the truncheons.

He's been better than he has been, although that doesn't say a lot.
Don't get me wrong - I'd love him to come good.
He still lacks a decent touch and for someone his size he is useless in the air.
He is also getting dragged out wide with the way we are currently playing, and for someoen of his size he will be more use in the box.
All players should applaud the fans at the end regardless of the result.
he was blatantly crap. his decisions on the penalties were tantamount to match fixing. his inability to let the game flow shows a complete lack of apreciation of the game being an entertainment. one time he stopped the shrews keeper from taking a freekick, ran a good forty yards and placed the ball just two feet backwards. the keeper again took the kick and again wacked it some fifty yards (minus 2 feet) into our half. whats the f***ing point. he shouldn't ref a game again.

I tend to agree, he was an utter disgrace.
Jakey ran onto a through ball and toe poked it past thier keeper who then brought him down. If he hadn't have touched him it would of been a (pretty) certain goal.
The second one was kind of hard to see, but it seemed as if Jakey took it past a couple of players going in to the box and then had his legs taken as he was about to shoot.
I thought McCammon was one of the better players last night, also think he was lucky not to get booked though in the second half when he had the knock on his head, the ref came over and and he propper ripped into him, when the ref had walked off and McCammon briefly left the pitch he continued on the linesman!
Is it me or was El abd absolutely crap, it seemed as if he couldn't mark, tackle, pass or head and had no idea on what was going on around him.

When I got home after the game, I pulled into the drive at the same time as my Shrewsbury Town supporting neighbour. We shared a few polite words (I wasn't much in a chat frame of mind you understand) and he said they were two stone-wall penalties and couldn't belive how lucky they were to get away with them (we agreed on something).
He thought the ref was poor too!

The ref was SHIT, and cost us the game.
Can't remember the last time a decision went for us.

You are a fool, aren't you. You can't even admit he had a good game, but have to divert everyone by bringing up this juvenile rubbish. I'd love Tank to introduce the two of you after a game some time.

A bit harsh calling him a fool Steve. He was at the game after all, where as you are relying on the press reports and bits on here.
London Irish said:
The two facts are completely unrelated.
Yes he has played better in the last two games than he has done previously, but that is not my point.
My point was that all the players, however well they have played, should have the decency to applaud the fans - especially when people have made the effort to travel that far for a midweek cup game!
