The thing that pissed me off about Kenny was when the goal went in, he barely celebrated, then about 10 seconds later he ran over to the QPR fans next to the Leicester fans and started fist pumping as if it was spontaneous, when really he was just trying to be the centre of attention. He's just a fat twat.
First and foremost welcome BoleynAli, can I say what a pleasure it is to read genuine posts from other supporters - You are like an oasis in the middle of a very dry desert! I was in the third row back from Green just to his L/H/S - Yes he did get a bit of gip, nothing personal like I've heard at some places from all supporters including our own - But along the lines of you'll never play for England with a couple of rounds of who let England down along with the almost obligatory Whooa.................you're **** ahhhhhh at goal kicks. The rights and wrongs of that can be discussed for eternity but I would have thought it was pretty standard stuff at a ground like Upton Park where the away fans are right behind the keeper and so close you could almost hold a conversation with him - At full time he seemed to lose a little self control and ran in front of the Leicester fans shouting yessssssssssssssssss repeatedly punching downwards - He didn't single anyone out for eye contact, preferring to look downwards
It did cause a bit of a reaction in the Leicester end with a number of fans remonstrating with the stewards who in the main handled it very well - There was one big fella who kept smirking at angry fans which could have gone badly - I suppose I'd have found a load of middle aged med getting their blood pressure up funny if I was on the other side
DangerFox, thank you very much for your welcome and kind words. At the end of the day I love football, end of, and enjoy a proper chat with fans of all Clubs, except Millwall!! Green does get more stick than most other goalies and the proximity of away fans to him is far closer than most grounds but he is a professional and should act accordingly. I like to think that yesterday he was just touchy after surgery. I'm an old school Iron, I don't like divers, cheats, hoofball, players who get others booked on purpose, nasty tackles, lazy players, ****ty refs and linesmen and players who wind other team's fans up. A good,honest game with all 22 on the field playing their hearts out. Am I asking too much?
Steward - But as per your comment about being old school - Supporters have a responsibility to behave like grown ups and not a kid on the park who has been called a name - The steward was probably amused at grown men bawling their eyes out
West Ham stewards should be used to grown men, and women, bawling, we've been crying at the Boleyn all my life. Supporters do have responsibilities- unfortunately, as we see on some of these forums, some will act like kids no matter what.
