that Matt Mills clearly is.SpaceCruiser I've started to hate the East Stand, which is why I've moved to the North Stand. I was high up in the North Stand and I saw a lot of arm waving from fans in the middle lower section of the East Stand before Mills made the gesture. I thought that it was a bit of a moronic behaviour from those in the East Stand.
For years we have had a group of people who are so ready to boo players like Andy Hughes, Keith Jones and Jimmy kebe. I think those people are the usual lot who used to stand on the Tilehurst End at Elm Park.
Spotted you yesterday BTW 
3 veesinarowWycombe Royal3 veesinarow Anyone who is upset and says the behaviour of Mills was unacceptable and outrageous to anyone with a kid at the game REALLY does need to look at themselves as they subject their kid to far worse forms of human behaviour every time their plonk their kid down in a seat at a football game.
That is more an example of what is wrong with the game.
Are you saying that kids should be allowed to have the opportunity to watch our national sport just because of a few morons who can't express themselves without swearing?
Kids should be able to go to football and that should not have to listen to yooofs and middle aged men who need to grow up shouting expletives everytime a pass is misplaced.
Nope, you're seeing something that isn't there. I'm not saying that kids shouldn't go - far from it. I was three when I was first taken onto the Southbank and 43 years later, the week-in, week-out experience of sitting amongst foul-mouthed apes hasn't damaged me enough to make me not want to go. Kids SHOULD be able to not have to listen to all that, I'm just making the point that far, far, far worse things are said and done in the stands every week than what Mills has done on the pitch.
How does anyone selectively say they think Mills has set a bad example to poor little kiddies when they are subjected to the moronic behaviour from people stood/sat three feet away from them and therefore much more likely to make inroads on impressionable young minds?

It is all about the North Stand
Royal Lady Oh get over yourself Woodcote - you said yourself you weren't even going to last night's game.
I think there is confusion over whether people were saying "boo" or "hoof" and tbh it can be difficult to ascertain between the two sometimes.
Whatever the circumstances, I hardly think Bertrand, or any other player, getting involved with what they think, is going to help matters. It needs to die a death really.
Barry the bird boggler He should be disciplined by the club, apologise to everyone and then it should all be forgotten.

To be fair McDermott is always going to the do the sensible thing (which I agree with) and won't condemn either the fans nor the player. He'll pass it off as being water under the bridge and will rightfully turn his and the team's attentions to our game at the weekend.
Anyone expecting a knee-jerk reaction from the man obviously know nothing about him.
SpaceCruiser 'greed, that's the right thing to do, get on with it. Those fans calling for punishment and/or apology should get over it and look to the next game.
You should've gone to SpecSaversSpaceCruiser The funny thing is I was bumping into people most of the evening. I bumped into my brother in town, ......................... Then I bumped into two old primary school friends just before kick off..............

FocherWhen Hicks went up...Focher players are paid to take the plaudits, they are also paid to take stick (which i dont give and dont agree with)
To raise the middle finger is totally out of order, and he deserved the stick after doing it.
It's this type of irrational argument that is the reason behind incidents like tonight. Matt Mills is paid to play football. He is not paid to take plaudits or to take stick but rather they are the potential benefits, or drawbacks, of his job.
its not irrational, its a responsibility that comes with the job, like any other job.
