Anderson

[Colin C No.3]

Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a Rovers fan. Tonight was one of those times.

You’re joking.

Try attending an away game against Rotherham to feel really ashamed to be a Rovers supporter.

Tonight was very close but for different reasons! How do we educated these people?

Lot of rubbish here
If you’ve just played a game and bean beaten comfortably then you’re walking off the pitch and getting abused by your own fans then if there’s anything about you you will react.
Simple as that

It’s all about opinions & I think yours is bo**ox.

Nice one

[Donny Exile in York]

Am very critical of our current demise but booing Anderson first half is and was ridiculous. No matter if he reacted in frustration at the end of the Tranmere game, he's still our captain and best defender so to boo him was utterly ridiculous and a low. Glad he scored the winner, that was the best way to respond and do his talking on the pitch. Well done Tom!

On the pitch, very much papering over the cracks as another post has said.. a very poor second half but at least its nice to have a winning feeling over the Christmas period!

Not a great interview from Danny. Listened to it twice, zero acknowledgement of the supporters or understanding of their frustrations - he does know we were relegated and knocked out of both cups already I assume? But at least "the girls in the kitchen" are positive. Worth having a listen to the BBC interview he speaks well but needs to address what is happening on the pitch.

Glad to see us win again tonight - Miller was horrendous but give me 11 of him every single time for effort!! He outworks ALL our other players.

Sorry but I don't get that at all. I don't think there's much more he could have said and dealt with the Anderson issue when asked. He prefers to talk about positivity rather than get drawn in to negativity and bring himself down to our level.

This is a post match media interview not a nitty gritty discussion he likely has with Copps on a regular basis.

We have to take what he says with a pinch of salt and understand he's a passionate football coach from Hexthorpe although we do want to see that reflected on the pitch more often than not. He knows he's got work to do.

[Canadian Rover]

Understood.

[glosterred]

The boo’ing wasn’t just confined to the South stand, there were idiots in the west stand as well, like many have said that it is shameful to boo your own player every time he touched the ball during the first half. Thankfully, after a few minutes it was drowned out by the clapping and cheering by the true Rovers fans. For me, he was actually one of the best players last night.

P.S. am I the only one thought it very two faced by those booing Tom in the first half to cheer him when he scored the winner? Oh, I know, you was cheering the team and not the player! Yeah right!

Took me a while on Ifollow to wonder what the applause was ... seemed random till I realised it was to drown out the boos.

I'm with glosterred on this one

[SydneyRover]

I'm surprised at some of the comments about TA he has been a good player for us, to throw him on the scrap heap because he took an injury and not at his best is not a good look. Some of you may want to think about what your comments may be doing to the team and staff morale.

[glosterred]

Just seen that he was a the MOTM on the Twitter poll conducted by the club after yesterday’s game. Another middle finger to the idiots from the true fans

Imagine going to a game and thinking up a “plan” to boo your own player from the kick off? Very sad.

[Crowle Rover]

The booing was cringeworthy.

Glad Tom got the winner

[Filo]

What stood out for me was the booing stopped when the clapping drowned them out, I’m sure they must have thought they were booing on behalf of everyone, but then realised what bellends they were, we must have the worst set of negative t**ts in the league, happy to give dogs abuse to anyone then when they get it back cry like a baby

[andy didcott]

Think his goal shut the booers up, singling a player out like that totally not needed and quite embarrassing, think about it lads/ lasses and get behind your team, we’re meant to be on the same side.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I really hope the Free Press do an article reflecting our comments condemning the behaviour towards Anderson.

[Filo]

What we do know is that these people read these comments, but never defend them in here, they’d sooner stay in the safe haven of Twitter to spout b*llocks amongst their twitter followers and then claim they represent the majority, it’s usually orchestrated by a handful of individuals, is it was in the past with individuals that disappear when their disruptive actions don’t bear fruit

[jmt23]

I would also like to stop the thought it was just the kids - there were some 50+ year olds booing too

If you can’t take it don’t give it, the players are passionate about the game and club, and will take the comments to heart - they are just human.

Booing during/after the game is fine with me, to show how you feel towards a teams efforts, singling people out, and going much further ( usually the case) is not fine.

[glosterred]

To right jmt23, some fans give abuse to the players for 90 minutes and then cry when they get it given back to them. If you cannot take it, don’t give it, they need to grow a pair or pull up their big girl pants and get on with it. You are also correct in stating it wasn’t just kids booing. In the west stand I’d say it sounded like a majority of “adults” who were doing the booing.

I wasn’t there last night, I’ve been away but I watched it on Rovers Player and it sounded like a lot more than 10-15 people booing, so I was doubly pleased with Anderson scoring the winner.
 For the record I’ve only ever booed one player and that was John Sheridan and that was because he didn’t try and hardly moved out the centre circle. Those who witnessed him will agree totally

Because I was sat fairly close to the spotty faced brigade I can say with certainty that some of them were booing Anderson as he was celebrating his goal.
It was very faint due to the rest of us cheering the goal but it was happening.

Can agree with the Sheridan sentiments.

Clearly thought that playing non-league was beneath him.

All the other "big nmaes" we had that first conference season (Southall,Nicol,etc) were model professionals.

Newell. Didn’t break sweat once.
