England players that we’ve respected at the Lane

[Bayingblade]

Sorry but I’ve never clapped any of them. As opposition players trying to beat my team, the best they ever get is indifference or stoney silence.

Bobby Moore when he came with Fulham. 77/78 season I think.

Wasn’t this the game when George Best played for Fulham.

Wasn’t this the game when George Best played for Fulham.

He played in both October 1976 and 1977. Rodney Marsh and Bobby Moore only played in October 1976

That just sums up the unintellligible hypocrisy of some fans for me. Giving them the bird one minute and applauding them the next. How fickle or stupid can a person be?

You don’t have to like a player to admire their talent. It shouldn’t matter which shirt they are wearing. If they genuinely entertain you, show your appreciation FFS! (Unless they’re Wednesday or Leeds obviously!).

Blades fans did that for Kabba when he played against us at the Lane for Palace. He tore us a new one and some of us respected his ability. He also got a standing ovation. Not long after he was our player. He impressed us, but we also impressed him. That’s more important than what some may think.

When a player is thinking of signing for a club he’s bound to wonder how the fans will take to him. Take Dean Henderson of Man Utd as a very recent example. That kid can’t wait to get out in front of 28k Blades to feel the love. He’s said so already. It’s a powerful attraction for any player to represent a really passionate partisan crowd. Don’t be an arse by giving players the bird when the only reason for that is the colour of their shirt.

(Wait till they sign for us permanently then you can slag them off every week!)

Wasn't it Grimsby that Kabbs was playing for when we applauded him off? Think he was on loan there from Palace?

Be careful when you get down off that horse, it looks pretty high to us stupid fickle football fans down on the ground.

It is not hypocritical, it is quite sensible. You boo and jeer them to put them off BECAUSE they are good and a threat to your own team. Once hostilities cease, you can become a normal person again instead of a foaming vitriolic Blade, and give them a clap.

The days of 'Jolly good goal old bean' are long gone, if ever they even existed.

That last one's a joke right...ha ha ...Peter Withe...ha ha...you mean the same Peter Withe who got a proper standing ovation after scoring two for Birmingham against us at home while still being owned by us? And boy did he celebrate his goals...THAT Peter Withe?

No....Nooo Joke they really did use Withe as the model for the "Das Boot" commander....seriously.....
