Missed nothing bar our fans being pathetic and trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

It has been alleged that he made "up the bum" gestures at our fans as he warmed up to come on as sub. Some have taken offence; others not so much. Apparently the fourth official was notified (by whom, I don't know). :shrug:

So if he did what is the big deal why cant people just move on and ignore it. Why should anybody be offended by a gesture? What was the old saying at junior school, Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.

It's not alleged he did it twice as well as the 'hello sailor' a number of times. Fair enough you expect it from opposition fans but unprofessional for a player to do it in my opinion

Anyone who's ever suffered non-physical bullying will tell you that that saying is just a load of bollocks.

What exactly is a hello sailor gesture? Waving at the fans whilst miming hoisting the sails? He should have done im a little teapot instead. Mind you had i been there i would have felt so incensed if id seen the teapot gesture utilized that i may have been left with no option but to don my specially made webbed-hands gloves and furiously waved both hands right back at him

I was over the far side so never saw this, but doubt I'd have been too bothered if I had. What I would say though, is whether you find it offensive or not, it is definitely pointless, childish and stupid. If the ref had seen it, then by rights he'd have been booked, and if you were his manager you'd be pretty pissed off with your player, if he ends up with a ban (like Diouff) or a court appearance (like CKR) over it.

Some hypocrisy about it all from Albion fans who joined in the cyber-backslapping for Marcos Painter, after he did the 'swim away' gesture to Cardiff fans.

One of my nephews is a ladies hairdresser and is like the proverbial nine bob note and as such does not flaunt his sexuality neither does he hide it and always has an an answer when somebody tries to take the pee and homophobic comments do not offend him at all.

Ran down to the corner flag to warm up in his pink bib and his turquisoe and pink boots somebody in our end shouted something at him which was light hearted he smiled and gave some back (all in good humour) he then ran away doing his warm ups and then came back again doing his stretches but this time took more banter from one of our fans only to respond with the limp wrist wave (twice) which then turned from what was a laugh into Ayling doing bending over gestures which made a lot of our fans outraged including several of our lot asking for him to be sent out the ground (this would be a first for me). If the game was any better and worth watching this would have blown over. The point is whether its perceived as banter or not you just cant do these things anymore especially if you are representing a "pro" football club. poor form

I saw what he did and to be honest the over-reaction by some of the Brighton fans was a lot more embarrassing. If you can't take it back then don't dish it out maybe?

This all day long. Christ we have some right cocks following us nowdays. Any incident and it's "scream for a policeman" it seems.
