Clapping Naismith

[joey_macmo]

Anybody else remember Ronaldo (the Brazilian one) getting a standing ovation at Old Trafford from both Real and Utd fans?
Or Messi 's ovation at the Bernabeu?
Or Barca's Ronaldinho's also at Madrid?
We have cry arses cry arsing at applauding The Albino Pele.

Everton that.

the comparison would be "anybody remember when those players were applauded after scoring the first goal?"

The answer would be no as it didn't happen

Same with Mckenzie when he scored, it was a consolation goal in a 3-2 Everton victory.

My issue with it is the same people groaning every single time Barkley and the likes lost the ball but couldn't wait to get on their feet to applaud a former Everton player. How about getting behind the current ones first and foremost then people have the right to sit on their high horse

On several occasions I have been sat in with the home fans when I couldn't get a ticket among our lot.

Believe me, standing up and politely applauding when the home team scores is the most sensible option when one is trying to remain blended in with the crowd

I thought it was a really nice touch and an act that separates us as fans from most other clubs.

Naismith always gave 100% when he played for Everton. He may not have been the best player but nobody could doubt the effort he put in and the fact he was an important player to successive managers. He also seemed like a decent bloke for what he did around the community and a bit of a throwback. I wish he didn't leave when you consider we traded him for Niasse.

He had a tough first season but overcame that to win most people round. Never had a bad word to say against the club and we never really got to say goodbye so seemed a nice touch. I put him down with Cahill as a lad who gave everything for the cause everytime he went onto the pitch and you can ask no more. I remember giving Greame Stuart a standing reception for Charlton as he scored the winning goal against us too. It's small things like that that make Everton the football club it is and ultimately bind many of those who have played for us to the club after leaving.

Well said mate. Spot on

Couldn't agree with you more Joseph.

It was a joke that we clapped the utter clown. Boos and a few plastic bottles lobbed at him would have been more appropriate.

 

[strummer]

I wasn't there but I would have clapped him. He's a breath of fresh air amongst modern footballers for being such a humanitarian. Also it was roughly a year ago he scored his hat trick v chelsea. A truly memorable moment amongst the torture of the last couple of seasons

How about Barkley stops the lemo and becomes an actual footballer.

Spot on Goat, needs to get his head in gear and look at himself in videos never mind waiting for RK to show him.

At this point im sick of the people defending him.

He wobbles round the pitch with his 5 IQ and wonders why people get on his back.

He honestly needs to give his head a shake and grow a set of balls the utter wool.

Something like a good display in 1 out of 4 games is not good enough, has he really set any game alight yet in the PL this year?

Goat?. You been at the cheese again?. You know lactose doesn't agree with you.

haha now THAT's embarrassing. Having to stand up and clap a goal against you to blend in. What you'd do to watch a football match....

Goat, I have copied and pasted our posts in the Barklay thread.
