McShane told the fans not to applaud the fans at full time, Van den Berg and Swift led the walking off. Gunter and Edwards only people to applaud the fans. I can barely blame those that walked off, constant booing at the moment making everything worse. Some of our fans need to look in a mirror, how can you expect respect when you just abuse them?

It didn't do much harm to Shane Long and his career -maybe he was stronger mentally than this current load of snowflakes.
It's par for the course with football fans so get used to it, as should the players.

Is there anything to actually back this up about McShane, or just you interpreting what you saw?

But apparently the support throughout the game was great, the boos were only at the end. As far as I'm concerned, the clapped out liability McShane can piss off now and try to find a club where fans won't boo after a performance and result like that.

It sounds like the bit about McShane is coming from multiple sources, including the local media. Gunter was trying his best to force the other players to go over towards the fans.

Multiple people saying the same on Twitter

Yeah, but how do they fricking know?

Multiple people saying it on Twitter could easily be one person making it up and other people repeating it as fact.

[Hound]

If that is true about McShane it’s one of the most idiotic things I’ve heard

Stam does seem to have created some kind of them and us with the fans, which is utterly self defeating

[RoyalBlue]

Love the way that Blakey keeps referring to 'we'. A true Reading FC legend.

Because they were there

Jonathan Low said the same thing too.

Going to highlight that - if JLow reports it, it’s pretty much certainly happened

what the hell are they thinking?

[PremAddict]

Utter disgrace, to think we were in semi-final a few years ago ! This is progress ..

Worse is we played a “strong” side.

Hope Richards starts against Hull.

McShane has always come across as a bit of a bellend though.

Wouldn't say he was a bellend - but there's certainly been more than a few cases of him being aggravated by the fans

McShane wouldn't be alone in that regard.

[RoyalBlue]

If anyone has the right to sulk about our fans, it's scapegoat Chris Gunter. Yet it was he who tried his best to get the team to acknowledge our supporters.

[Hound]

Baffling what good McShane thinks would come of that

Esp when he has been amongst our poorest performers all season

[Snowflake Royal]

Yeah, but how do they fricking know?

I don't see how just being at a game means you know McShane said something specific to the others. If he' physically ushered them off in obvious way, that would be something fans who were present could see. But knowing he said somethiing in particular, I find had to believe.

Jonathan Low said the same thing too.

Going to highlight that - if JLow reports it, it’s pretty much certainly happened

what the hell are they thinking?

Yeah, if Low's reporting it it adds a lot of credibility.

Short of saying he is sh1te, and he's lost the dressing room, that's all he can do ..

Thanks for answering the genuine question, genuinely.
