Take 2 ex-players. One a hard working midfielder who never gave less than 100%, saw his contract out before moving clubs in the pusuit of success. The other, a striker who cynically manipulated a big money move by demanding a new contract despite having the best part of two years left to run on it. Which one gets booed before and during the game, and which one gets a standing ovation?? It beggars belief.............  |

Before the game-fair point. During it O'Connor was being a cheating cuntrag that deserved that and more. Him faking getting flicked in the face saved him from a booking.

Ade was a Stoke hero, so was James. Neither should have been bood. Until as Bayern rightly points out James started cheating.
They were one hell of a dirty side.

How Harley and Lafferty didn't get sent off too-constant fouling and both deserved more than one yellow. Harley in particular.

How the hell did Stanislav Varga not get booked for persitent fouling. He kicked Fuller in the back, lunged in and tripped him up and then pushed him to the floor all in the space of 5 minutes in the first half.
Then he wrestled him to the floor in the penalty area in the second half and got away scot free!

Neither are stoke players so neither got a clap or cheer from me!
Stoke fans should concentrate on cheering our own players not oppositions!!

The same Ade who locked himself In Rudges office asking for a new contract as he didn't want to leave and wanted to stay at stoke for the rest of his playing days |

Asking for a new contract when his old one had 18 months to run?
Shit player shit guy.

If he was so eager to stay at Stoke for the rest of his playing days, why make such a fuss about a new contract? Was he going to starve?
He was a footballing punchline until we gave him the chance to revitalise his career, and he repaid us by throwing a tantrum about his contract and agitating for a move just a year after we signed him?

Ade was never that great for us. hard working, but never great.
James O'Conner was ALWAYS a cheating dirty little shit. Thing is, when he played for us, most people had their blinkers on.

O'conner got too big for his boots thought he was prem player, now he's found his level.
Ade complete tosser. Still remember him diggin Hoefkins in the ribs a Burnley a few years ago!

Dead right! ade was never in the same league as mama when it came to goal scoring and effort. He probably asked for a new contract when he had 18 months to run on his existing one because he felt he needed security as he was'nt getting any younger. Top fella is ade and more stoke fans should show him a little more respect after all he did for this club. |

O'Connor was cheating (but it was Morris who pretended to have his face slapped), but he also put in a very good game.

I didn't boo or cheer them generally until O'Conner cheated

fentonstokie are you having a laugh?
JOC never got too bg for his boots he worked his knackers off for this club, and saw out his contract. Never once moaned and did his bit. At Stoke he was earning considerably less, than his team mates.
Met him on numerous occasions and you couldn't meet a more down to earth guy.
Ade engineered a move despite being our higest paid player.

Always had respect for JOC but the way he went about his business yesterday was unprofessional. He took Fuller out when he was skinned and then cheated by faking an injury. When the stoke fans reacted by chanting the fact that he is a wanker, he cupped his hand to his ear to the fans that paid for his football education at stoke. Lost respect for him after that.
Also, Harley wants fucking for his behaviour throughout. At one point right in front of the boothen, he was clearly seen to tell stoke fans to fuck off, in the vicinity of kids. Total wanker and one dirty bastard.

If fans were calling him a wanker, then why shouldn't he give it back to them? Don't give it if you can't take it back.
