[Albion] Ironic Cheer when Sanchez caught the ball

[One Teddy Maybank]

Really poor from our fans……

Thought we were better than that, unless I’ve missed something obvious…..

 

[Giraffe]

Totally agree. Pathetic and childish.

 

[pasty]

Agreed. Thought that was poor. Sort of thing that should be for oppo players, not our own.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Not amazing no.

But in football you're defined in huge part by your performances against bitter rivals. It's just the nature of the game

 

[Springal]

Agreed, classless. And the fact it happened twice. But not surprising from a fan base that has booed its own players who go to take a penalty

 

[Bold Seagull]

This was the same part of North Stand that when the new Di Zerbi flag got half way across the stand a load of fans refused to pull it over their heads so it stalled and was put away even before the team went out. Great effort.

 

[Deadly Danson]

It was odd and out of place seeing as both the North Stand and our fans at Palace gave him their full support. I was wondering at the time if the cheer was aimed at Harry Wilson for some reason as the sarcasm just seemed very strange.

 

[GoingUp]

Thought it was funny the first time (didnt notice the 2nd one) and thought it was just a bit of ironic banter and fun.

It felt like the fans that were digging him out had gotten over it by having a joke.

 

[Sheebo]

I cheered him as in supporting him but did seem a bit ironic from the north. Saying that, they also clearly supported him from the off - difficult to tell what the cheers etc meant.

 

[Sea Cider]

Thought it was having a laugh with him, not at him tbh

 

[The Seagull]

I’m not his biggest fan but that was a touch naughty.

 

[oldboyroy]

Not good

Funny if it had been a friendly match maybe.

I guess our football supporting culture has changed to being people who want a laugh rather than doing everything possible to get behind the players and win.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Yeah, I mentioned this on the match thread at the time. Warren unimpressed as well.

 

[GrossTurn]

Just really bizarrely inappropriate. Had sung his name loud and continuously moments before which he seemed to appreciate. To then ironically cheer him catching a cross - as mentioned above it’s the sort of thing you aim at the opposition, not your own.

It's really not that serious, football should be fun and relief from such serious matters. Bobby got plenty of claps and applause.

There you go. I know what makes me happy. Following a football team isn’t something you do for a laugh (maybe your name indicates you have only seen us moving in one direction). Bobby?

This.

Cheered jokily.

 

[pb21]

I'm someone who always gets behind the players, and find booing and other similar things very counter productive. However, I got the impression it was more of mickey take the kind you do with your friends rather than anything malicious. Maybe it would have been best to not do it though.

Ive been following Albion since a baby through Goldstone, Withdean and Gillingham. You don't go to football for fun? I do.

And when you see things like Eriksen and Atsu and real life matters, it should put things into perspective.

Big Bob, Bobby, Sanchez whatever you would like him to be addressed as, it was just a bit of light hearted fun, fans being happy. If fans still held a grudge it would had been a sea boos or groans.

We all want Brighton to do well, I left the game pi**ed off like most people.
