Lap of Honour/Appreciation?
« on: May 19, 2011, 09:52:08 PM »
I know that due to the debacle of the season just gone by it'd be hard to call it a lap of 'honour' but either way does anyone know if the team will be doing one on Sunday?

I was at the Blackburn game last season and due to us losing 1-0 I couldn't be arsed to wait around and got out pretty quickly - don't even know if we did one then, but I'd stick around if we did one this season.

Anyone know?

Isn't it called a lap of appreciation.

Whatever the result, I'll be walking up Trinity Road at the end of the day.

Probably.

We could just call it "going walkies" ?

They always do one.

Whether they put in a decent performance against Liverpool will probably decide whether I bother to stay behind or not.

They did do a lap of honour at the end although considering it was a pretty decent season  last year i was still incredibly depressed as they trooped round the pitch cos we were awful vs Blackburn and they'd won the game despite being even worse than us. It was an atypical MON home performance lacking in plan B but there was a lot of cheer and support from the Holte to the boss. We knew his future was in doubt but i guess none of us would have predicted how things have gone since.

They will do a lap of honour. If they want us to wait in the stadium beyond 6.00 on a Sunday, with family to mind and work the next day, they must in the same spirit allow Warnock & Beye to walk with them and call back Ireland especially.

A great alternative would be announcing Ged is off into retirement and allowing us to wave off GMac, Isabel and him.

No thanks. Whatever the result on Sunday they have been an embarrassment to the great  Claret and Blue heritage this season so I hope they f off off the pitch as soon as ref blows.

On occasions, the "trudge" round the pitch after the last game, is for the players to show their appreciation of the supporters.  It is not always for the fans to acclaim the players.

If we can beat that lot at home for the first time in 14 attempts I will gladly stay behind and say "thanks lads".

I dont usually hang about afterwards these days. If Randy and The General came round Id consider it to say thanks for Darren Bent.

It's the chance for players to say thanks to us isn't it. In that case I think it's very important they do, considering some of the cack we've had to watch.

Be interesting if any of the players likely to leave like Young throw their shirts into the holte. I'm sure Dunne will try but it will end up 40 yards behind him by the corner flag.

We could use Dunne's as a big flag for next season.
