When I was a kid being taken to the match in the late 60s, people often clapped a good goal against us or youd hear "taken, la/lad" from those around. Noone forensically examined why or said "what are you clappin'/sayin that for - its a sign of weakness ?" A reflex gesture is what it is. If people had have given Naismith the v sign or a load of verbals, by some reasoning on here, we'd have given Norwich a better game. We wouldn't...we were garbage. It seems views are polarised on what should/shouldn't have happened. Personally, Id much rather appreciate a fleeting gesture of goodwill than criticise it and also preserve my wrath for more important issues from the other night. Theres enough horrible in ya face attitude to go round elsewhere...and a nice gesture doesn't make us a patsy.
