Well there aren't likely to be many chanting 'Fenty in' are there?
No but it struck me as strange that it was deemed a good move during a game the players needed the backing in at a time when Town were pretty much on top.

Absolutely disgusting from Vernon! The line of work I’m in often means I get a lot of abuse from the people I’m trying to treat. I’ve been punched, kicked, spat at, verbally abused and threatened by the people I’m paid to help. What do I do about it? I remain thoroughly professional as do all my colleagues and continue to do my job. Under no circumstances whatsoever would I do anything like Scott Vernon did today, and if I did I would be dismissed due to gross misconduct. The protective veil that shields footballers is pathetic and he should be treat the same as any other working civilian. He’ll be gone come the summer anyway and I’ll be glad if he never wears our black and white shirt again.

What would you do in Vernon's position then.....Time has finally caught up with you and you realise that you're not good enough for league football anymore. Do you A. Think with young children and a mortgage I'm going to wing this contract out. Or Do you B. Think intercourse my family it's the good of the club that counts I'm going to see Fenty in the morning and ask him to cancel my contract with mutual consent.
Get real!
In every job I have had I have given most of the time 100%, and treated customers with respect, even when they didn't deserve it. Whilst he is under a contract I expect 100% effort and commitment, with his attitude and lack of commitment I don't give a flying fig what happens to him when we go down to non league because that's where we are heading with losers like him and his bad attitude.

And throw in the fact that the team hasn't won for fourteen games and been utter garbage, the players should know better to turn the other cheek and improve their own output at their place of work for the customer that's paying their wages. It's more than just one performance for us fans. When players good and bad have played for us and left, they get on with their lives, we are still left with the club until we croak.
It doesn't surprise me that players are acting this way when it's been part of the DNA of the whole club from the very top to the club office and the departed manager who think it's fair game to blame the fans for their failings. It's a stupid mentality to think the best policy when things aren't going too well, the chairman, board, officers of the club, the manager and now the players exacerbate the chasm between themselves and the fans. Yes fans can be arrses when performances and results are bad, but it's the board, manager and players responsibility to improve the entertainment to win the fans over. Blaming the fans is an easy way out and not taking responsibility for their own actions and a lack of ability, mindset or skill to change things around.
This is the worst and longest sustained period of the club's history and fans have been called bullies, vile and now w*nkers and being laughed at. I'm surprised we've got any fans left never mind 800 travelling to Cambridge and venting their understandable frustrations.
If you run the club and don't have the ability to make decisions to win the fans over, you shouldn't be running the club.
If you play for the club and don't have the ability or at least put the effort in wearing the shirt to win the fans over, you shouldn't be playing for the club.
It's as simple as that..
Makes a lot of sense this, I originally said I didnt blame him for giving the male masturbator sign to abusive fans and that I'd do exactly the same... but would I do it at my workplace? Absolutely not and in my line of work I can and have been called a lot worse. Well done you've changed my opinion and that doesn't happen much😂 So now sack the idiot regardless.

That's fair enough but you originally criticised and blamed him for where we are now which was a it harsh, is it lack of commitment or the fact he has just got really excrement or a bit of both?

The reason why we are in the position we are is because Vernon and Kelly are inept and I hope both the useless oxygen thieves at the end of the season have to get real jobs, the pair of sharp objects.
Missed a few more names off that list...

How is it harsh, he is a striker who has only scored 4 goals in 50 games earning us something like 2 points, so I agree he is really excrement and lacks commitment.

I bet you were sitting on the edge of your seat with all the excitment Ian, Get real man we were OK 1st half without looking dangerous, 2nd half was very poor and the amount of fans that paid good money to be there deserved to see at least a bit of effort, Apart from 2 or 3 players none of the rest deserved any support whatsoever.

What we need is go get new man in soon as possible so he can see how poor the squad is. Hopefully we avoid the drop and he can then have a busy summet building an entirely new squad as no one can do anything with garbage we have now.

I missed the Vernon making male masturbator signs moment as I left as soon as the second goal went in but I did hear 'you're not fit wear the shirt' directed at subs warming up down in the corner area, I though it was a bit harsh and should have been directed at those actually on the pitch. Even Vernon can't intercourse up sitting on the bench - can he?
