Scott shaking Fulham hands in front of me.
I think I may have heard a few murmurings from the Hammy End of "Super Scotty Parker" too, nice touch.
The hug with Mitro told a thousand stories.
Fulham loves you more than you will ever know.
Who do Fulham love?
Mitro. Yes. Parker. No.

What do you mean by this? It is literally nonsencical.
I'm not sure why it was not a good thing to see him shaking hands with his former players. It's a game, that's all, Shankly was talking about the fans when he muttered his famous saying.
Looked to me like someone who'd left the office without saying goodbye...
If we love Scott Parker we really are the Victoria sponge rating brigade everyone says we are. Embarrassing. Not deserving of booing, but come on. A leech of a player, and a leech ot a manager.
So why not shake hands? It shows there was no vindictiveness
Loved the way he scarpered as soon as he realised he'd crossed the halfway line.

That's just one of the silliest comments I've read on here for some while.

I'd guess this is very close to the truth.
I would have luvved it if Mitro had scored the winner and celebrated in front of their dug out. Childish attitude? Absolutely!!
The only Parker-related songs from the hammy end were telling him to f*** off, and that we have Marco Silva who's a genius, to the tune of come on feel the noise
As a player I suppose you could admire the fact that he made so much of his limited ability, limited as in not blessed with pace and skill but a hard worker who used what he had to the max.
A decent top level player at his peak but should never have been close to an international call up and when he signed for us he was past his best and failed to lift the team which was supposed to be one of his assets.
Not his fault that he was on a long (for his age) contract and hugely disproportionate salary for a player who brought little to the team apart from his good name.
For all of this, I didn't dislike him but felt strongly it was a waste of money and he wasn't helping the team move forward both physically and metaphorically.
As head coach/ manager he brings his personality and hard work to the role and he understands the game, but only up to a point as he manages like he played.
Parker ball is very much about hard work and commitment (like any successful team|) but his style like his playing days is very limited, more Pullis but in designer gear than classy and innovative football.
In time I'm sure he will be found out, he may be a decent man in general but as its almost panto season I say his time at our club was more like the "Emperors new clothes" than "Prince Charming" and not worth the money!
Parker must have been well pleased with the point his team took home last night, they all played hard for him particularly the defenders. Their goal developed on the training ground and executed perfectly on the pitch must have given him great satisfaction.
The mystery is that there was no sign of Parker Ball in the Bournmouth play.

Sounds about right, glad they're all moving on.
I'm sure he'll enjoy celebrating promotion in front of their 11,000 ecstatic fans. Then onto the big challenge of survival in the top flight.

Me too. Think Parker decided to go on some sort of charm offensive and show just what a nice bloke he is.....No hard feelings, etc, etc..

Parker showed again that if they go up it will be defend and hope to nick a goal, of the teams that have gone up and survived they seem to be teams that have attacked. ill have a shilling the other 2 teams will finish above them

Good post. Sums it up for me.
Didn't agree with all the shaking of hands after the game.
Didn't agree?!
Parker did a good job at Fulham as player and manager, and got us up first time of asking, and nearly kept us up with a squad that wasn't Prem standard, beating Liverpool, Everton and Leicester away, and drawing at man U and Arsenal - both games cheated out of 3 points.
And now fans hate him - I don't get it.
I always thought Fulham fans were a decent, fair minded bunch.

I disagree with your assessment of last season. I will come on to that. I agree that he always gave 100% as a player - although past his best I thought he did a decent job for us and his experience will have been invaluable for the likes of Cairney, McDonald and Johnansen and others. He did a terrific job in the play-off final against Brentford- it wasn't too dissimilar to the job he did on us last night to be honest. That said, much of the football that I saw live that season was turgid - I just didn't enjoy watching us - anybody watching us last night will see a huge difference in approach.
Now onto last season - 9 goals at home all season - only 2 home wins - only 5 wins all seasons - relegated 11 points below 4th from bottom ( I'm going from memory here) pathetic performance in league cup at Brentford - even worse at home v Burnley - you have cherry picked the decent performances that showed what the squad was capable of. Our sorry demise in the last 10 games was pathetic- he should have been treated as he walked out from the cottage to the riverside with a loud chant of ' 9 goals all season - that's a f...ing disgrace etc etc....
Just to clarify - Burnley reference is the F A cup but would also apply to the league game. He got away lightly with no fans last season. Look at how we have treated past managers overseeing that campaign - he should have been sacked early on in the season - MAF would have pulled the trigger after Palace at home.
Whilst I'm on one - the crap about building a club that's why he went to Bournemouth- very small fan base; 11k capacity stadium; not fit for purpose trading ground at top level - third rate academy status - yes he will have control but come on - if they don't get back up this season they are on the slippery slope to no where. He has used the Fulham approach through the Khans as an excuse for his own failings here.
