Z175Big FootSchards#2 Agreed, but as a one off for one night only I think it's fair enough
It's not a one off though, this is part of the shift in culture at football that I resent.
Villa fans applauding in the 19th minute for Petrov / Reading fans applauding in the 3rd minute for Armstrong etc etc
Perhaps if the fans cared that much, they'd have sung support for McDermott on Saturday instead of chanting the name of a wannabe chav centre midfielder who's done phuck all for the club, including refusing to play.
Jokers.
You reap what you sow.
I'm totally 100% with you on that. Would anybody whos been advocating Guthrie like to come on tell us what he did with his first touch?
Go on, tell us. Although I suspect you may well opt to rewrite history just to try to support your point. And if, on this occasion, he did lose the ball, then name me any one of the best 10 players in the world who hasn't done the same at some point. Then open your blinkered eyes and look at what else Guthrie did in the game.
The signing of Guthrie and his subsequent management of him was, I am sure, one of the many reasons why McDermott eventually ended up losing his job.
I'm not at all scared of the harvest that has been sown. Equally, I would support a fitting tribute to Brian for all that he did for the club before this dreadful season.
