Not really ear cupping related, admittedly, but I was just sitting here reflecting on how far Omar has come already from the time of that first interview at BP during which he was, as memorably described by a poster on here, "shaking like a shitting dog". The fact that clearly he's still some way from where he could get to is very, very exciting.


We are destined to a fool's fate that deserves to be mocked.

Think the manner in which Omar cups both of his ears when he celebrates is more of a 'let me hear you chant my name' similar to the way he pointed to the name on the back of his shirt when he completed his hatrick v Stevenage.

Regarding Hurst at Wembley, I personally don't have a problem with it. Have had my season ticket in the Lower Findus for a good few years now but the odd time I've sat in the Main Stand for cup games I've been surprised by the amount of stick he's received for various things, ranging from being short, being a Yorkie, not being vocal enough on the touchline to making disagreeable substitutions. From what I hear that hasn't been uncommon over the last couple of seasons. So the way I interpreted his ear cupping more as a 'can't hear you now' to those individuals rather than a dig at the whole fanbase.

I don't blame him like a morgue sometimes at BP.

It's a passionate game players react differently some kiss the shirt badge like Magnay did lol.

Boggs always hits his chest with his hand as well to say look at me well I don't mind that one bit it shows how much he feels about the game.

Keep it going Omar the stage is yours.

Well, to bring it full circle - perhaps some have over analysed.

The original point I made was very simple...

I hope Bogle isn't receiving abuse from his own supporters (and cupping his ear to goad them) because he's doing really well, and there is no need for either. If it's just part of his celebration and calling for adoration, fine.
