Sorry if already posted. But if you were one of the ejits who sang time to go when Jones was down, with what looked like to be a serious neck/head injury hang your heads in shame

The majority of the fans did clap when he was stretchered off, though. Our two injuries, mind..

I thought the stoke fans were very patient and respectful overall and the applause was evident on the SNF replay of the game. WE really need to stop berating our own fans just because a few of them sang inappropriately at the time. I was equally as annoyed when the Sir Stan birthday tribute was playing before the game and the Mancs sang over it

I didn't do anything - boo nor clap..
What I don't understand is why loads have him a standing ovation. What were we applauding? His injury? The fact he didn't die? Or the St. John's team.

I presumed that would just be saying "hope your ok son"
Clapping him as if it's some kind of achievement that he managed to survive is just strange..
I was more concerned that he would have to be replaced by somebody who isn't wank!

What infuriates me is clapping off a player who's just been sent off. Bravo, dickhead, that's that result flushed.

I sang it, but to be fair I thought we were singing it to the Manure fans - oops I did applaud him off the field though as should have been done

When the injury is obviously fairly serious (as in this case) its simple human decency to want to say to the injured party "hope you get better soon mate". In the absence of actually being able to say that, applause is the obvious alternative. 2. I think its also common decency to want to applaud the medical personal who have clearly spent great care in ensuring the safety of a fellow human being. Or, in other words, some people have a basic moral compass and wish to demonstrate it. Others do not, I guess!

Would'nt personally applaud any Utd player ever, could'nt give a shit what the etiquette is, hate their club with a passion, football is built on rivalries and oneupmanship not holding hands and singing songs together, no wonder football is dying on it's arse.

Forgive me - I didn't realise giving a player a standing ovation and clapping means "I hope you're ok mate" but obviously I have no morals as you say!
You should have ran on the pitch, put your arm around him and started smacking Walters head shouting "naughty naughty"
Yes it's wrong to goad a player who is injured like that, but fucking hell...

I also hate Man Utd with a passion. But I wasn't applauding a Man Utd player. I was applauding a fellow human being who'd had a nasty injury and the people who'd worked carefully to make sure he was given the best care. Its a subtle, but very important, distinction that for some reason the neaderthal element in football support find hard to grasp. But i guess like i said ... moral compass and all that.

The trouble with man united players, much like chelsea, liverpool and arsenal, is that you are never quite sure whether it's serious or not. Until he was stretchered off i was dubious myself as for the most part, what looks like a career ending injury generally results in a few hamstring stretches with the physio and a swig of lucozade and alls well with the world!

Don't forget the wankers sang what the fucking hell was that when we had a minutes applause for a young kid that died! Also before kick off yesterday there was a 5 minute video of sir Stan to which utd fans yet again sang through! Then we have fletcher running in front of the boothen end to try and hurry Walters off when he had a nasty injury himself! So I tell you what youth get off your high horse! Them utd wankers are scum

You should have ran on the pitch, put your arm around him and started smacking Walters head shouting "naughty naughty"Yes it's wrong to goad a player who is injured like that, but fucking hell... Why on earth would I do that?! 1. I'm not trying to comfort him, so why would I 'run on to the pitch and put my arm around him'? I'd also be hindering the effort of the medical staff if I did that anyway. As I *thought* i'd made quite clear, its a very simple, very obvious small gesture to say "hope you're ok mate" and a quick thank you to the medical staff who've given up their time to help those who might need it. Nothing more. Nothing less. 2. I wouldn't be "smacking Walters" because it was a simple accident. You seem to be missing the point and assuming its about supporting the Man Utd player and chastising Walters. Its has absolutely nothing to do with that. As i've said, its about wishing a fellow human being well and giving small recognition to those who helped him. (For the record, I clapped Ramsey after his broken leg too. Doesn't mean I was in any way shape or form blaming Shawcross. And get this ... If Ramsey got seriously injured and carried off in the future, I'd still clap him. Despite the fact he's been a grade A twat about the broken leg over the last few years!) I don't get my fellow humans sometimes, to be honest. To me, this is just simple basic logic. "Good luck mate" to someone who is OBVIOUSLY injured. "Well done lads" to those who helped him. Now lets get on with the game. Don't know why people get so wound up about it really. Ho hum. Strange lot humans!

You can still have rivalries, one-upmanship and give the opposition stick and have some decency as well though.
