Tyrone Barnett

[Rattus Norvegicus]

It always winds me up when ex players come back and get booed. Was in the south upper yesterday and all I heard was polite applause which made a nice change.

Absolutely - no need for any disrespect.

What happened to decent sportsmanship?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Thought he looked alright when he came on but certainly didn't show anything that I'd want back here. Definitely chubbed up a little bit though. Don't like the boos either. He did us no wrong

 

[RobM]

Not sure Cox is much of an improvement!

Egg. Face. On.

Tyrone walked to Phil Brown after the game and they warmly shook hands, which was a nice show of respect from Tyrone especially after his permanent move here was abandoned after Nile Ranger became available.

You were lucky then, definitely some booing in the West.

Yes, there was some in the West.

Personally just didn't get it, professional player came here on loan, gave of his best while he was here, permanent deal didn't work out, so moved on to ply his trade elsewhere, never threw his toys out of the pram and behaved like a true pro. To my mind that deserves due respect not booing.:nope:

With the exception of Nicky Bailey, what a complete ****

I like abusing ex players. Makes it uncomfortable for him...

But each to their own.

Ask most players and they dont enjoy playing Upton Park/the old den etc and it's a lot down to the atmosphere created.

Exactly right. He came along to the JB day at Marsh Farm last year (all the loanees were sent), and unlike most, he stayed for the day and brought his whole family along, even paying for the missus and three kids to come in. Was really gracious about anything we asked of him during the time and a pleasure to deal with. Most of them come along for the allotted hour and then bugger off as soon as they can.

I think it often makes them try harder and play better or it always seems to with Matt Harrold anyway! :winking:

 

[Tommy2holes]

I think it's part and parcel of the game unless the player is a club legend.

 

[The General]

Not really a surprise as most of the people sitting in the west aren't the full ticket... :OBL:

Not me! :winking:

I gave him a gentle ripple of applause, there was no real reaction in the blacks, positive or negative!

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Only ever turned up when Sky were down. Thought he was lazy and certainly didn't help himself when he told someone to **** off at Blackpool away last year.

 

[Beefy]

There was a smattering of boos in the West. I thought it was a bit unnecessary and, as someone else said, in the past it has only ever motivated ex-players to play well against us. I'd rather save the hostile reaction for a player who deserves it.

We gave Roycie a great reception for QPR and he thanked us by kicking one off of Bradbury and into the net. Contrast that with Matt Harrold turning into Ronaldo every time we played him.

It has been said before but the Club could help create a more positive reaction to ex-Shrimpers by acknowledging them during the line-ups with a 'please welcome back to Roots Hall to....' like certain other clubs do. The boos really are just an acknowledgement of the player half the time.

I was hoping Mike on the Mic would have said something similar and later "attendance 6.721 with 602 travelling Wombles"
He did announce Corr as "Big Bad Barry Corr" the once and got some cheers for it from the crowd; but did he get reminded of decorum by the club?

.

Most of the crowd singing "Roycey is a Shrimper" after that goal was a joy to behold. I'm sure he was singing along in his head himself.

 

[rararblue]

He took his boots off, last game of season, at Bury and gave them to a young supporter. Thought that was a nice touch.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Egg. Face. On.

Lol, fair enough!
