Chant "Martin Please don't forget to give us a wave to say goodbye"

Not very catchy, is it?

Depends on the tune I'd guess.

Martin, ohhhhhh Martin,
Please don't forget to give us a wave
Oh Martin ohhhhhhhh Martin,
To give us a wave to, say goodbye.

I like that.

Spot on - I had my appendix out earlier that week and was in a fair bit of pain and only exacerbated it further by my energetic baiting of Staunton until he got sent off. The rest of the game was a 0-0 snooze fest and I was in worse pain for another 2 days. Thank God for morphine.

But no, I wouldn't boo MON.

I reme
I think booing ex-players is childish and only Villadawg FC them on to play better, so I see no difference in doing that to an ex-manager either.

I remember giving Staunton absolute pelters in around 1999 at VP and he had an absolute stinker and got sent off after about 25 minutes.

Glenn Peen is probably shitting himself right now.

A swift round of silence would be enough to greet the fckuer.

Has anyone actually tried to boo? Only can do it for about 5-10 seconds before the inside of my lip starts to tickle and then I run out of breath.

I love booing. I make a point of not booing our players but there is so much panto fun to be had booing the ref or the opposition.

I may well be in the minority but I'd give him a decent ovation. I know he left us in the lurch somewhat but I'd like to thank him for the part he played in ensuring two very good days out at Wembley last season and for his help in restoring the pride and reputation of our club that was damaged during the O'Leary era. I just wish he'd gone at the end of last season.

Even though I hated the way he walked out and the timing, I'm of this opinion too tbh.

For all his faults, he did re-establish us back to a competitive and respected top 6 prem team that we haven't been since Gregory era of around 2000.

Probably a clap when he walks out of the tunnel at the start and then complete indifference during the game which I do with most of the ex players that come back.

But I'd be giving O'dreary both barrels if he ever dares to return to VP.
