I left at the final whistle - I couldnt watch the lap of honour - too cringeworthy

Re: Lap of Honour

a 4-1 home loss should mean a walk of shame!

Re: Lap of Honour

I'm normally up and down the steps the moment the final whistle blows (not before - I never leave early) but today I did opt to wait around for the 'lap of honour'. I tend to do this at the last home game each season, for one thing because I'm usually quick to leave games, and also because I feel I owe them a cheer, if nothing else.
To be fair, most of them seemed very sheepish - not suprising, really, after that awful display, and there were a few out there that hopefully we won't ever see in a City shirt again. But there are some good players - Ng, Tanner, Colwill, Horvarth - and they deserve a shout. Shame there were so few people left.

Re: Lap of Honour

It was planned, it happens every year. Yes an awful result but they couldn’t not do it, I’m sure a lot of kids were looking forward to clapping their hero’s.

If you thought ours was bad , you should have seen Southampton’s , considering the season they’ve had.

I don't think people are getting this. No surprise really. They're thanking the fans, not looking for adulation. It's not difficult.

And just to add, they probably don't want to do it anyway, especially after a performance like that. They're just being polite, a bit like us when we thank the bus driver as we get off. And if they hadn't done it no doubt there would be people moaning about them just walking off down the tunnel 'Ungrateful Bastards'

Re: Lap of Honour

In terms of league position it’s a big improvement on last year so with that in mind it’s disappointing more didn’t stay.
Despite them being SO shit today

I stayed to watch and clap them off. They’ve given us some great moments this season ( and some dismal ones). I also think it’s good to let the players know we are behind them. We will want them back in it in a few weeks.

Yep

The worst lap of honour was after the Ipswich game , last match at ninian

Lots of people crying but I think most of these couldn't



Believe how shite the team played




and how crap the fireworks were

Re: Lap of Honour

1-4 at home and pretty much an awful experience all season at CCS? I don't think it's surprising that people wouldn't stay. Those attendance figures are usually bollux as once again I know half a dozen ST holders didn't go. I'd have been out pretty quickly today and somewhere warm.

Edit: I have a heart of stone though! Not one for love-ins with people I don't know.

Right on the money
