The hand gesture

Exactly. This is all so rich. We’ve all been around enough town fans to know they’re are some not so pleasant characters. Yet the moment someone waved their hand in a certain way to someone, everyone starts crying.

“WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!”

You never see the Ref doing it and he gets abuse every week

He should have turned the other   'cheek'  like Nigel Batch did.

I don`t mind players having a go back at fans if that`s what happened but this twit and Kelly have contributed zero all season and are just stealing a wage in my opinion.Seen it all before with Conlon,Sweeney going all the way back to Scott Mcgarvey JUST GET RID

I can't fault people for travelling to support gtfc and hat off to everyone who went yesterday to represent Grimsby Town. I just don't understand all of this abuse to players, wait until full time or do it on here. I wasn't their but to abuse players pre match and at 0-0 (from what I have heard) is rediculous and wrong. To be honest, it doesn't surprise me because when I do manage to go I always see atleast a few people smashed out their face talking excrement.. Why waste all that money, I'm surprised they ever remember any of the game?
Yes we need change from top to bottom. So do your protests In the car park before and after the match. Even before kick off in the stand if you really have to. But once those 11 shirts are on the pitch about to kick off show the players, management, opponents what and what owe are and show the passion we can give and want in return from the players.

You really are a complete sharp object.

Sharp he probably is because he is correct, what is worse a hand gesture or the vile language we hear at nearly every game?

As another poster has said I took my twin girls many years ago to their first match v Middlesborough and Clayton Blackmore was left back for them and had been subject to an allegation of rape not long before. Well my two eight year olds came home with a much wider vocabulary and in all honesty were physically scared by our own fans sat in the Upper Findus. Suffice to say 24 years later one of them has never been back to BP.

If I learned anything from that. experience it’s that if you are taking kids to football prepare them for a rude awakening.20 years on with an 8 year old boy he was well briefed what would happen, 3 years later he still attends occasionally but the football on offer which in turn leads to inc,erased levels of abuse does not make it a journey he wants to make too often.

In that instance, you explain and educate!

You see son Mr Vernon is trying to help by making a sign that means excitement followed by contentment from frustration,  which he wants those who are frustrated to apply
