......every time one of our players so much as enters the same postcode as their precious little lads (special mentions to Wycombe (a) and Reading (h)) This is incredibly childish, but I'd really love all our bench & support staff to mimic them when they do it; really high-pitched for good measure.
nah, the whole squad, staff and even the stadium announcer should turn, point and laugh at their bench. every time they do it. make it really obvious, holding bellies and proper laughing, maybe a bit of rolling on the floor. once the ball is out of play of course.
I'd like to think that because none of the opponents we are going to face in these last seven games will have much riding on the result, that there might be less of this kind of behaviour. But then I remember we have Luton next and it's Nathan Jones, who I rate highly as a manager, but he's one hell of a cry baby on the touchline so I expect more shenanigans. Then we've Neil next week. And I adore Neil. He's one of the nicest blokes I've met in this business and a great manager. But in the dugout he's another beast altogether. Let's hope we aren't needing to worry too much about this nonsense and the puzzling decisions made by four clowns each game, and our lads do the business on the pitch.
I was thinking during yesterday's game that I don't think I've seen so many mardy teams at Oakwell in 40 years of watching - we must be doing something right!
Instead of goal music mate, can you not play a brief blast of the Laughing Policeman over the tannoy whenever there is a particularly cringeworthy scream? That'll calm their farm.
I thought this was really interesting last night. In and amongst the hazy ipas I posted something about it I think it’s the championship Yelp most players do it as they theatrically Chuck themselves to the floor - I thought the ref was pretty decent at not falling for it. We don’t Yelp much.
