I know, it feels very disappointing still as surely as a kid you grow up wanting to be adored by a set of fans!

He’s adored by Forest fans though. He’s achieved his aim. He had no affinity to us so it didn’t really matter who adored him, I’m guessing he’d have been happier with Wolves fans liking him but they sold him 🤷🏻‍♂️

Made a comment about this in the match thread but seriously why are we booing MGW every time he has the ball?

Him and Ndiaye single-handedly took us from 17th to a play off spot at the end of the season against Fulham on the final day. He’s one of the best loan players we have ever seen at the lane scoring some crucial goals and put in 100% effort for us every game.

Seems disrespectful to me and I think he expected a good reception back at the lane but instead he’s being booed. Yes he went to one of our rival clubs but we were never going to be able to sign him back because we didn’t go up. He fully deserved to play for a bottom-mid end Premier League club and Forest took a chance on him and he’s thriving there. Happy for him but some fans clearly have no respect.

Football is a pantomime with goodies,baddies
Villians and hero’s.MGW was the wicked wizard.
That’s the level right there.

In answer to your initial question, some of our fans are just a bit thick.

Hope this helps!

MGW was sat in the dressing room at the wOrLd FaMoUs that night having just seen the skipper horrifically assaulted and the bad blood that followed which ended with one of our players defending himself in court. He‘d also missed a crucial penalty.

He then signed for them. If you don’t boo, fine. If you or MGW did not expect some to boo then I’d would say that is a bit thick.

Isn't it because someone has decreed that holding them back infringes their human rights or summat?

Something like that I believe yes.

Talking to the manager of the Industry Tap yesterday pre-match and said I don't know why the police don't march the away fans on a slightly different route as it always causes a flashpoint between there and Fanny's.

He said they can't escort any more, only follow or chaperone. Wasn't aware of that if true.

Not sure, but it must be in the interests of safety to permit them to do it, or do we wait till someone gets stabbed etc, some said bottles were thrown yesterday

One glass bottle whizzed past me at head height on BL after the game. Luckily the bloke in front was quite short otherwise it would have smashed into the side of his head unless he'd have been 6ft and a gas lamp.

Fans who boo ex players are mindless, moronic and uneducated. I'd like to see how they would react if they left their job and then on their first day at the new place, their old boss turns up and boos them. If you did boo him today, I suggest you go home and book a place in your local primary school as that's where you belong.

I was saying boo-urns.

Can't believe that they can't request the away fans remain in the ground for 15/20 after the whistle, there by giving the home fans enough time to clear bramall lane, then release them onto their coaches etc. Every game I attend you come out the South stand and confront/ walk through the away fans coming out, stewards do nothing and SYP just stand there

What happened to them big massive steel walls we had about 10 year ago? They used to roll them out every week no matter what fixture.

You make it sound as if it was all somehow interlinked. He wasn’t exactly signing the contract in the dressing room as Billy dripped claret on the dressing room floor!

You have to admit, he was magnificent for us for a whole season and him and his Mrs really bought into the club. Missing a penalty doesn’t tarnish that. He didn’t do it on purpose. It happens. It was an opportunity to give him a clap for that.

He completed his loan and then got told by his parent club he wasn’t wanted, or at least due to FFP, they’d accept bids.

One club, also offering Premiership football and no doubt better wages, and a manager he’d played for before, came in for him, so he signed.

He didn’t sign direct from us. He wasn’t wanted by his parent club, and it was one dolt amongst their fans who assaulted Billy. It wasn’t Steve Cooper!

People can express themselves how they want, but to not be appreciative of his massive contribution is a little sad.

What happened since is a path any footballer would have trodden in the exact circumstances.

Same with those fans booing Berge. We’d hawked him around every window yet he’d remained professional. He even scored the goal that sent us up. We wanted the cash because he didn’t want to remain at such a car crash and good luck to him.

So I did expect some boos, because some fans are unable to see the bigger picture and expect every player to have the same sort of affiliation as Dane Whitehouse.

Once John Dennis the former Barnsley owner bought some new vans for his grocery business and a fan rung up praise or grumble and said he had no business buying new vans while Barnsley still needed a new striker!

To me that’s a bit thick.

The good news is that being a bit thick can be a passing phase and doesn’t need to be permanent unless you attend Hillsborough, in which case it is probably irredeemable 😉

I’d rather be thick than read that fucker
 
I could get it if he our player & asked for a transfer to move to them ??
But he was never our player , he came on loan & was outstanding compared to some of the other loan flops we’ve had .
It was no surprise they came in for him , Cooper was a big fan of his and had managed him in the England U20 set up.
Do ppl think he missed the pen on purpose?? And even if we’d gone up through the playoffs that season ..How in fucks name we were we ever going to be able to buy a player that went for £40M ( massively over priced but that was the fee ) ?
As said previously he was supposed have recommended the club to Doyle & McAtee the following season .. which didn’t work out too bad for us !
 

October 1978, I was unable to attend our home League Cup game against Leeds because I was in my 6th year at boarding school. We lost 4-1 and TC scored twice. A few days later I was back home for the October holidays, I asked my dad if our fans give TC a warm welcome. He said we did before the kick off but it changed after he had scored and the fans gave him stick. I was disappointed
