I've just watched one of the most embarrassing games I've ever seen.
Hull needed to win at Crystal Palace to have any chance of staying in the Premier League, but were thumped 4-0 without having a shot on target.
They seemed to be treating it like a friendly, there was absolutely no energy, no never-say-die attitude. Just resignation that they were going down from the first minute. Terrible.
I remember when we got relegated from the PL all those years ago at Chelsea. We lost 2-0 but we were really unlucky, hitting the woodwork twice and basically taking the game to the big boys of Chelsea.
Anyway, for some reason the Hull fans gave their team a standing ovation! Rather than throw fruit and coins at the useless twats, they chose to applaud their embarrassing players.
Why do fans do this? If Bolton are shit I tell them so at the final whistle. I would never clap a Bolton team that got drubbed 4-0 and made absolutely no effort to win the game. If I was a Hull fan the stewards would have been holding me back to stop me getting my hands round some player throats.
No doubt some bellend (wanderlust probably) will come back with the "loyalty" excuse, but my loyalty ends at paying to watch the team. If they perform like spineless tossers I'm not going to applaud them.
Do you clap the team off the pitch at the end, even if they've performed like tugboats?
