Filo. Do you really think us applauding Alfie onto the pitch made him think ‘Right. I’m even more determined to score against these bas**rds.That’s actually more likely to happen if he was booed on.
There is a good question here, McKindoe was probably the worst personality off the field that has pulled on a Rovers shirt in our recent history. If a straight choice was to be made between Alfie May and McKindoe when he played for us, who would pick Alfie May.

Going mental would be in bad taste but there's an in-between. It's become a way of showing respect though so it's now seen as celebrating is disrespecting the old club by some. Also easier when there's a few hundred away fans. Try doing that in a full houseWellens is wrong too. We get too many mercenaries come and go every year it's just the way this industry is. So when you get players who the fans remember fondly long after leaving it's pretty special. Especially when they also seem to have a lot of love for the club.I remember a certain Dennis Law not celebrating in front of a full house when his goal for Man City relegated United.

. Why want a player back who is now a regular substitute for a team we have just beaten? its hardly a great advertisement of ability.

Just like our team, we are too soft as fans. We shouldn’t be clapping apposing players on to the pitch. I agree with wellens. We are in a relegation fight for ffs.Show respect after the game. Even Akinfenwa got an ovation when he went off and he only played about 9 games for us.
Alfie May was a good servant to this club on and off the field and would of made more of an impression if not for that useless clown moving him on. He deserved his greeting and was very respectful after scoring, as was Williams.What i don't agree with his players like Bostock getting an ovation when coming to take a corner kick in the south west corner? the jury is still out on him and he's still in negative equity with us at this time, need to see much more from him before he gets any plaudits.

Or perhaps we are reasonable human beings who appreciate / like / respect the efforts of former players and have every right to show our appreciation on the odd occasions that they return to our home ground.What a bleak and unhappy world it would otherwise be, ffs.

RW is jealous because no matter how good a player he was and how mich he achieved in the game he'd never beloved like Alfie May, someone he considers to be a much inferior player to himself.
