Charlie Wayman Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 Now that the dust has settled and we are back to business as usual, to me at least it does seem very mean spirited of the club not to have shown some sort of recognition of the achievements of Jose Fonte and Cedric Soares for their part in helping to win the Euro 2016 title for Portugal. I am sure many fans would have loved it ha there been a ceremony of some kind at the first of our home games. What do you think about this, what they might have done and so on? The OS is always banging on about how many of our players go away to represent their countries during international breaks and how this honours the club, so at least you would have thought that they might show some gratitude for the kudos that attaches to our club for supplyng two of the eleven trophy winners. It's not the first time there has been cause to doubt the sincerity of people in the boardroom. It's the detail that matters not slogans, rhetoric or eye-catching tag lines and in this case the club have in my eyes performed very badly.

OttawaSaint Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 They probably had something planned and then Man U and Jose's agent spoiled it by turning Jose's head to throw him off his game for our visit to OT. Club said, "**** it then, forget it!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Site Agent Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 They won a football competition they're not returning from a war zone!!!!!!A little perspective please. I'm going to clap them harder when I am next at SMS and I'm sure we can come up with a nice chant for them. They played for their country and succeeded and I'm sure their fans are proud.

Saint Garrett Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 I was expecting a big interview with Fonte the day he came back, there was clearly an issue which meant that this didn't go ahead. I thought the club would make a big deal of it, they normally do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 I am pretty sure that they got a mention on the tannoy at the Watford game which drew much applause from the crowd as they entered the arena ! Not sure that more than that was really needed TBF ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 At least it means we don't get someone starting a "The Club's going overboard by Honouring our Returning Heroes" thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 Was looking forward to a stirring speech by Krueger to honour these fine gents. Unfortunately Jose ****ed it up, Ralph is pucking about in Canada and everyone thinks Cedric is **** (excluding me). I guess it won't happen now. Thank God to avoid the soporofic speech at least (small mercies). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 It's a disgrace they didn't get statues. Shearer has just got one, and Bates got two FFS. To add insult to injury, they were offered improved contract extensions, as if that would make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 Jose took the gloss off it with his antics afterwards . Don't care what anybody says, he could have nipped the whole thing in the bud and didn't . He's got some making up to do in my eyes . Lifting a cup for us will do it . I met Peter Rodrigues in a pub last year and we both agreed he's been the only man to do so for far too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordic Saint Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 There are only one hero allowed at St Mary's and he's not a player or a manager. Fan worship of players and managers is therefore discouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 14 September, 2016 Share Posted 14 September, 2016 Incidentally Spurs broke our "single team supporters' attendance record" at Wembley tonight. And then lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
