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! Clapping him is an easier way to show that in a group though isn't it? Just seems a decent thing to do. What infuriates me is clapping off a player who's just been sent off. Bravo, dickhead, that's that result flushed. I clapped Ryan off after the ramsey accident because he should never have been sent off! |

If it's a stupid one where they're bang to rights though it baffles me! |

Thanks for showing me the error of my ways, next time it happens I'm going to take a voodoo doll and jab the affected area so it hurts more. Anyone know the words to the Munich song while I'm here? |

You are comparing a song celebrating death to an injury to a united player. Obviously a closet red devil!

Who's wanting to "glory" in someone being injured ? Certainly not me... I just don't want to clap him for recovering from the horrifying incident!

This was in rather bad taste, don't get why folk boo opposition players who get stretchered off. If it was the other way round I would hope the opposition fans wouldn't shout such things.

Fletcher was a total disgrace and his actions warranted the song he later got in return.
Typical Man United, no class.

The united fans showed a lot of respect during sir stans birthday memorials didn't they, singing most of the way through it, just like their team a load of wankers.

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 If you want fortress Bearpit & all that comes with that, then we need to forget sensibilities & get on with the job... |

Huth got knocked out, his face carved open like a piece of meat and still played on.

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. 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. If there is one thing that gets up my nose more than a Man Ure fan whining about bad luck, it's someone pontificating about moral compasses. The Neanderthal element in football... Christ pal, you sound like a tampon. |

Christ pal, you sound like a tampon. I wasn't aware that tampons, as inanimate objects, had the ability to make sound. As an atheist (with a particular dislike of the Catholic Church) I'd never dream of 'pontificating'. That would imply I have a dogmatic view, which would make me no different from the religions I so abhor. You're right about my use of "the Neanderthal element in football" though. It was a bit wrong to single out football. It's just the Neanderthal element in general. I think the long assumed and recently confirmed interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis explains a lot about the human race. Still. Whatever floats your boat. If people think it's wrong to show a bit of decency towards someone who has just been knocked out and had trained medical staff working on him for a good 5 minutes, that's their choice I guess. Of course, the fact that 'he just had a concussion' means anyone who applauded is a 'tampon' surely? Well now, I'd actually agree with you on that point if, for example, they were applauding him the next time he walked onto a pitch simply for 'recovering from concussion'. Or if, for example, he'd simply banged his head, had the teams medic splash some water on his face until he came round and got up again. That would be pretty daft. But that's not what we're talking about is it? We're talking about a guy who, at the time, was clearly assumed to have had the potential to have done some serious damage, because numerous trained medical staff deemed it necessary to treat him on the pitch for a good 5 minutes and carry him off on a stretcher. Given that, I have no problem in a simple gesture of wishing him well and (i keep having to state this because its as much about this too, for me anyway) a simple gesture of thanks towards the medical staff who treated him, most of them on a voluntary basis (side note: my 'moral compass' still allows me to thank those who do good things even if my atheism may not agree with the religious connotations in the name of the organisation they work for ... but I digress). The next time he walks onto a pitch I'll give him a bit of banter to wind him up, just like I would any other opposition player. It's all fair game (Within reason. Banter to wind other players up doesn't have to be immature direct personal attacks, but then we're back to that whole 'moral compass' thing that gets up your nose again, aren't we?) Ah fuck it! What am I even thinking trying to discuss complex anthropological issues connected with morality and human decency on a footie forum for anyway? Ignore me. I'm going to climb back into my cave where I weep for humanity like an over-sensitive nancy. Because that's exactly the view you have of me after this whole 'pontification' of mine right? Yeah. Thought so.  |

I honestly don't give a toss about any opposition player getting an injury, not as if they'll struggle to pay the mortgage like any one of us from time off work.

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 Didn't hear it myself, what block are you in? We were mainly talking about how quickly Walters got back up afterwards. From where we sat, it just looked like a clash of heads, but after a few minutes we all started saying this is serious, somethings happened here. As soon as he was lifted up and carried off, everyone around me clapped. I heard no abuse. |

The guy could have had a broken neck or something serious? Even in your most unpleasant of moods you wouldn't wish that on anyone, regardless of whether they're a Man Utd player, fan, staff member whatever. I clapped Jones off. Does that make me a twat? Am I the sole reason why 'Fortress Britannia' doesn't live on? I mean I was there when Fortress Britannia was roaring every game and I haven't changed that much... still the same person, and I'm pretty sure I'd have clapped him off back then too. Pfft pathetic. Sometimes wonder if this site is full of adults or school kids. |

Sometimes wonder if this site is full of adults or school kids. I fear, unfortunately, that he probably would; him and hundred of others. Largely because the world is now full of people who don't give a flying fuck about anybody but themselves and would actually think it's a bonus if an opposition player got badly injured. |
