What exactly did Timlin do to earn applause as he left the field ? He had a poor game (not the only one) regularly giving the ball away and then committed a ridiculous tackle intentionally bringing their guy down knowing the result would be a sending off. Not only does this mean he reduced our slim chances of getting back into that game but he misses a crucial game next weekend.
Presumably if he had scored two own goals, missed two open nets, had a crap in the dugout, and beheaded the away mascot you would still have appluaded him off.
football is all about opinions and obviously different people enjoy the game in a different way, my way is to applaud the player for his efforts during the game, even if he was shit. I dont expect to be shouted at by other fans for this?? I didnt turn around a have a go at them for not clapping him off, thats their choice, but applauding him is mine!
