Did The Team Embark On A Lap Of 'Honour' Today?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Cos they always have done before, win or lose.

I'd be genuinely interested to know if they did today.

Or if anybody stuck around for it.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I doubt it very much.

 

[Normandy seagull]

doubt it magoo would have been frightened of more abuse

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Much as they blatantly took the piss with that performance, I doubt if even they'd have that much front.

 

[Monsieur Leclerc]

If I was Monsiuer McGhee I would have made them stay behind until the day turned to night, sprinting around the athletics track.

 

[Lindfield by the sea]

Shame - I wanted to show my appreciation.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I felt at the end of today's game that the fans should have all done a lap of honour, and the players should have been made to sit in the stand and forced to watch/applaud.

Some consolation for this season

I think the St Johns Ambulance would not have been able to cope with the influx of casualties. Could have been quite entertaining though!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I know where McGhee's coming from with his comments after the game, ie that our season ended after the Sheffield Wednesday match.

But WE (the fans) still turned up. WE still made the effort. WE still paid £20+ a head to get in. It's a shame the club couldn't have let us know the players felt like that, then at least we could all have found something better to do as well.

 

[Monsieur Leclerc]

I was rather hoping for a pitch invasion and some sort of frivolity. I was going to nab a shirt or boot off one of the players.

Perhaps we could ask insider if we could draw lots and the winner gets to have the Brighton players watching them at work...Could be an eye opener for them. Watching someone get paid £10 an hour to trawl through NSC...

 

[Windmill]

Our season ended at Crewe. Full stop.

 

[dougdeep]

I don't know, I left before then.

 

[London Irish]

The players acknowledged the claps as they walked off. That probably required some effort given the distraught look on nearly all the players' faces. If anyone suggests they weren't ashamed of their performances, I think that is wrong. Forcing them to do a lap of honour would have been "cruel and unusual punishment" and the UN would probably have had to have stepped in.

 

[Monsieur Leclerc]

Since when has this Un, you speak of, considered all human rights?

(Possibly worth a seperate thread)

To be fair, I believe there's another article in the UN Convention on Human Rights which states that humans have a right to protection from torture.

Which was clearly contravened in the case of all of us having to watch today.

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Before the game we were debating whether there would a lap of ‘appreciation’ given that the word ‘honour’ usually gets substituted when a team goes down.

The ground emptied very quickly, so if the players did do a lap, they would have done it around an empty stadium. This might have been fitting though given the result performance/today!

 

[Easy 10]

I expect most of them were heading up the M23 within half an hour of the final whistle, catching flights to their summer holibobs. Unfortunately for us, the holiday seemed to have started well before kickoff.
