OK my input from the Chapel end.

 

He got stick he responded. He did "throw" the bottle and it DID hit someone - There was a steward outside the Chapel before the game with an utterly nutcase Afro style hair.

 

Boruc shaped to throw the bottle "hard and deliberately" and in a manner that appeared to be "threatening" he then simply "grinned" and underhand lobbed it.

 

It hit the Afro hair. To be honest it was travelling SO NOT hard and fast that the Afro Hair man (who had his back to Boruc) wafted his hand as if chasing away a Bee or a Wasp.

 

It was out of order on all sides, BUT The Chapel had been horrified by his slow advance and using knees when he could have picked the ball up early on, and were howling at him for being totally UN committed when he came out to face Defoe before their second goal. Up close he just looked Calamity James

 

Think is. NC will be angry - It doesn't look good for the Brand Image of Sexy Programme Sellers

 

Expect his ass to be kicked really hard

I was at West Ham and would not blame Boruc for any of the goals - he made one poor kicked clearance but, other than that was steady. Again I was at the match on Sunday and felt both goals were not particularly his fault.

I simply cannot believe that fans can give a player stick on their home debut. Everybody deserves at least a game or two to settle and let's be honest he hardly has the best defence in the Premiership in front of him. No he should not have reacted the way he did, but thanks to some idiots in the Chapel, we now have a bit of a problem, goalkeeping wise. Davis is not good enough, Gazzaniga will be hacked off and not exactly confident and now we have our third gk the subject of an internal investigation which is hardly going to make him committed to the cause, especially after being heckled by fans.

 

Sometimes the fans are our own worse enemies. Mind you the club has hardly covered itself in roses here. Had we bought an experienced gk in the summer we would not have to thrown in an unfit one who clearly was signed in a bit of a hurry. Simon Carter, the Echo sports editor described our summer transfer policy as "deeply flawed" and I am starting to see where he is coming from.

This - if people are looking to criticise for the second goal Fonte had ample time to clear had he not slipped.

 

Can imagine Boruc having a blinder on Monday after this though!

Sorry not buying that for a second. Boruc deffo should have had the first at WH. No doubts. He is a big fella and that was his ball all day long. I suggest you watch it again and watch the flight of ball. It's not like it was pelted in to box. The edge of the 6yard box is where he should have claimed it, even if it meant taking out half the teams by doing it. WH would have **** themselves if he had clattered them.

Whilst one should never condone the alleged actions of the player it is a real shame some of our supporters are alleged to have abused him.

 

He was signed because the club felt they needed an experienced keeper. They did not play him straight away but Adkins made it quite clear in interview that he wanted his experience for West Ham away and has clearly made the decision to continue with him against Tottenham.

 

I assume he did not want a young, inexperienced but talented young keeper to lose confidence behind a defence unable to cope collectively with Premiership football.

 

I also assume he had Davis on the bench because he felt it unfair to just dump him after he has served us so well. He has his weaknesses at the near post and his command in the box and distribution thinking time slow but he was a good stopper and kicker and does not deserve to be just discarded. He is a good back up keeper.

 

As for the rumour of Gazzaniga going on loan to Bristol City, if I am right in my above assumption, why would the club let him go on loan to one in the bottom 3 of the Championship and themselves short of confidence? It just does not make sense. So unfounded rumour for me.

I blame fox for both tbh. aways down the left........... have you seen his tracking back for the first. A liesurely strole whilst lennon (or defoe) attacks our CB. - He is walking back, 30m away when the cross goes in - total fecking joke... However this is off topic.

 

I don't blame Boruc for any goals so far. Hadn't played since may so is bound to be rusty. I would also like to see the fans who abused him getting a ban for 2months. Plyer abused on his home debut. Wouldn't surpise me if it was anti polish bs as well. Have heard that a few times in chapel over the years.

Reckon the club have realised they have bought a dud in Boruc and are seizing the opportunity to cancel his contract due to gross misconduct.

 

That would certainly explain picking him for Sunday's match. :facepalm:

 

Boruc did nothing remotely resembling a significant mistake on the pitch on Sunday.

 

Even if he's not involved tonight, so what ? We've picked our then-second choice keeper for both League Cup matches so far anyway.

What a drama over nothing. Some people really are pathetic if they go running to the stewards because a player looked at them funny and gentley threw a bottle against the advertising boards. Anyone that went running to the stewards over this is an embarassment and should be banned from the stadium. We dont need their types at SMS.

Football supporters in slagging off and then worshipping a player, shocker.

 

"Oh no, Jerry f**king Edwards, couldn't score in a brothel" .... "YYYEEEESSSSS, ONE JERRY EDWARDS ... "

 

:rolleyes:

 

We should have signed Jerry Edwards when we had the chance; great player and much better than Fox.

Now it looks like Boruc will get punished for responding to a bunch of knobs wrongly giving him stick about a goal which wasn't even his fault. Even if it was, do we now abuse our own?

Slightly different but, first caller on 6-0-6 on Sunday as a Chelsea fan crying about Hernandez doing the cupped hand to ear gesture. Fans are pathetic these days. They give **** out but even the remotest sign of a reaction and they cry like babies.

 

Back on subject, I'm not sure why fans gave him stick (I think abuse is an over-exageration much like his reaction). He was certainly slow off his line in my eyes, but there were so many other faults (persons to blame) leading up to that goal.

Fans shouldn't give their own players stick but it happens ...he is a professional footballer if he can't handle it, and ignore it, he is in the wrong job. This sort of crap will only get worse at home the longer our poor run continues.

Yep. It seems like Saints have a bit of history of f*cking morons who boo our own players. It used to be Lloyd James; Kelvin suffered a fair bit from it until he snapped back after one particular game; Guly will never win anyone over no matter what he does; Puncheon had his share of abuse; Jermaine Wright and others; Boruc now seems to be the latest whipping boy.

 

We just seem to have quite the collection of ignorant c*nts in the stands these days. I had to give a spotty teenage oik sat behind me a verbal clip round the ear during the Fulham game when he started abusing Guly before he came on the pitch and looked like he was going to carry on all game; the little tosser didn't even seem to know why he was berating him, just that it seemed like he should.

Reports that he has been cleared and did nothing wrong...

We all know this wont be true as the Star is full of lies and bullsh*t made up to destablise us....

 

*reads article and sees it's positve *

 

Brilliant news, great to see the club are backing the player and that the Star is running such brilliant artciles about us, they are one of the few papers we can trust.

Slightly OT but back in the "Are you watching Rupert Lowe" days I was at a League (?) cup game at SMS and some spotty oik behind me started squeaking "are you watching Rupert Lowe?" so I turned around and said "Yes he is, he's sitting just above the clock in the Itchen, look there" whilst pointing in RL's direction.

 

Said oik said nothing in return and moved seat...

I do hope Mr Stickell's season ticket doesn't seem to work on the reader at the next game....:smug:

If Rob Stickells is the same Rob Stickells I used to go to games with many moons ago (and have since lost touch) I would imagine if a big man swore and looked in his direction, bottle or no bottle, he would have been very frightened indeed.

I like the look of Boruc - he has real presence. Gazza is better on distribution, and when he bulks out a bit he will be a very good goalkeeper. He's not ready yet, though. Some fans were watching a different game to me on Sunday. Boruc had zero chance with the first and actually put Defoe off for the second, to such an extent that he scuffed his shot. It was the panic-stricken terror of Fonte that gave the goal away - he could easily have cleared it. Mind you, it's probably the same fans who booed Guly that are now moaning - that was utterly disgraceful.

I saw the Steward with the biggest afro in the world as I left the Chapel on Sunday. FWIW He looked very young and I would guess he was a teenager.

 

After Boruc's unprovoked missile attack, did his Afro have a smouldering hole in it like the scouser from Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels?...

Here's an idea which could solve things...

 

If a certain section of our fans actually stopped whinging and manned up a bit then this complete non-story would be exactly that.

 

So he threw a plastic water bottle gently towards the crowd. There are conflicting reports as to whether it hit someone or not - so what if it did?

 

Sometimes I wonder if the increased amount of diving/excessive reactions to physicality/rolling around for nothing has crept over the advertising hoardings and into the crowd and we now have stands full of Suarez, Bale and Klinsman wannabes in attitude alone

Not just the spotty oiks, we have fair amount of "hoof it", "get stuck in" and other such dull tyro manager types who are not be capable of counting three passes being put together. One such idiot has just appeared behind me in the Kingsland this season and does nothing but moan and criticise the whole game, and surprise surprise hates Guly and Fox. I wonder why he bothers.............

I see it's been reported in a couple of places that CCTV has been studied and the comment made that its clear Boruc threw the bottle at the advertising boards not the fans, yet some of the poor little souls are complaining that he swore at them, bless them. I hope they get over the trauma of this and are proud of all the fuss theyve caused over nothing.
