The boos for Nolan yesterday

[leonffc]

Watching in Sky's highlights I presumed they were from West Ham fans.
Were they? Or were WH booing the decision?
Or were they from ours (I would have thought we would have cheered him off)?

[Rhys Lightning 63]

Am I the only one baffled by what's happened to Nolan recently. Isn't that his third red card in a month or something?

[Berserker]

I would have thought the Wet Spam fans are fed up with him, they must have realised it was a straight red when they saw him do it

It's his 2nd red card in a month, but his first one was for a disgraceful tackle on Henderson. Didn't someone post a topic recently about match fixing?  086.gif

The booing came from the JH stand as well as the abuse, I had 4 spam fans next door to me and they got told in no uncertain manner that Nolan and FAT SAM were a disgrace to football

You are joking Mrs B, they thought love bite had caused it and then threw himself down dramatically, the second view upheld by the 5 live summary on the way home

[Burt]

West Ham finished third in the 2012/13 league table of foul play, behind runners-up Newcastle (which surprised me) and winners Stoke (which didn't surprise me).

Points were awarded as follows - 1 for a foul, 3 for a yellow, 6 for a red.

[Kent Cassandra]

Sometimes I see and talk to Wet Spam supporters on the way home on the train. A couple of them have confessed that the only reason they go is for the singing. Yesterday there were three singing on the train "Were sh*t and we know we are!"   Luckily I sat next to an Arsenal fan so at least the conversation was civilised.

[Berserker]

I have worked with two Wet Spam supporters, one came from Dagenham and was a great bloke, the other came from near Wycombe and could be a vindictive piece of work

[Kent Cassandra]

To be fair I have a huge extended family and a couple of them are Wet Spammers and they are great blokes too.

nolan is a thug, he always was a thug and will always be a thug.
he has got away with murder for years
if he wasn't a footballer he would probably be a thug on the streets
his type of player is what gives british football a bad name
i hate him with avengance and am thrilled to see him getting his comeuppance...even sam the thug alardyce was unable to defend him on TV and sam's teams are riddled with players that cheat, twist the rules and are generally thuggish!
Nolan is just a disgrace but i do not think the dockers from west ham if that is what they still are, booed him, they didn't have the sence.
they are not clever like the Juve supporters that wanted to kill the second juve player that was sent off at the cottage.

[Matt Inglis]

Went on twitter when it happened to see if I could find out what exactly he had done, only found angered West Ham fans who were seriously pissed off with Nolan.
I agree with nose, he is a disgrace. My least favourite PL player by a long shot.

Bet you never imagined your 1000th post would be about thuggery Nose.

Well said!
Can't stand him or Alladyce

[Skatzoffc]

I know a couple of Wet Spam fans. Nice guys.

Both are disgusted by Alladyce's appointment and what he has turned the team into.

[cmg]

I've not much time for Alladyce (nor any other of those 'ale house' managers) - but he was straight up about the incident. He made no attempt to defend Nolan and was obviously disgusted at his stupidity.

Amor made the most of it, as players do these days, but it was nothing other than a straight red.

Nolan has always divided opinion among WH fans, as has Alladyce.

have you been in an induced coma for 30 years?

Walking to and from the ground and during the build up to the game the West Ham fans we chatted with didn't like or want Alladyce or Nolan anywhere near them. The latter was primarily over the tackle at Liverpool but he has been useless apparently. One of the group behind us in P2 actually booed and cursed Nolan as the teams came out, bit harsh on the mascot, and when the red was shown another guy in this group was going to jog down the stairwell and "give him some" but too many people had to move and the moment was lost. Nolan was roundly booed from where we were and I doubt he is the most popular person at the Club today. The later substitutions were booed, the "don't know what you are doing" chant came out when Cole came on and his attempts on goal were derided. All that aside the most telling moment was the loneliness of the long walk from the tunnel to the dugout. Alladyce looked absolutely lost. Back in the day Alladyce brought a whole stack of ideas into coaching and led the charge with pro zone and nutrition stats but as with Jol and us he is a poor fit at West Ham. We brought up that brilliant quote from him that followed a fans cry for the football to be the West Ham way to which he replied that was what got them relegated and there was some sympathy for him on that and on the signing of Carroll which apparently was not wholly his idea. Its a toss of a coin now between Norwich or West ham making the headlines and Mackay didn't walk straight into the West Brom job.

you are so right but over the years he is one player I have a real thing about!
his special brand of calculated unpleasantness just sends me raving. Maybe it's fitting that my 1000th post should be a therapeutic rant.

i feel sure your comment is supposed to be some kind of joke. if you wish to contest my loathing for all that is  unpleasant in the game i am happy to discuss the matter.

happy new year
