No fist pump from the snake??

I couldn’t make the game today due to work but correct me if I’m wrong? Critchley the snake had no fist pump at full time?
 
I certainly never heard the woooooah when critch came over we were all chanting the dembele chant. He applauded and turned and walked down the tunnel. Nothing to see here. Critch done nothing wrong
Correct I heard a bit of a woooooah but 95% were singing Dembelleeeeeeee.

What's the bloke supposed to do come over and wait until we start asking for the first pumps?

Hey but let's knock the so called snake.
Some of our fans really are pathetic with their hatred of the bloke and want him to fail at every turn.
 
I think the bottom line is, park the fist and let's focus instead on performances that take it to the opposition as aggressively and stylishly as possible. Despite all the cock ups we're still in this. We really are. Imagine if we actually pulled it off? It would be right up there with the perfect ten.
 
The only time that should come out now is the day we get in the play-off positions… which is going to be a big ask from us and require some good luck.

Been a bit embarrassing seeing it at home to Exeter City sitting in 8th.
Why a lot of managers do celebrations after a win in different forms.
I suppose it doesn't get shown on MOD though.

What is embarrassing (not you AK) is the hatred towards him when he does it and the hatred now when he doesn't.
When on earth are they supposed to choose?

You really couldn't make this shit up after we've just won away.

Dear me!
Why the antipathy now?
I was as upset as the next person when he left after keeping us in the Championship
I was as smug as some on here when he failed at Villa and QPR
I was a little perturbed when he returned, BUT:-
We were pissed off when Gerrard came a calling, because, for the first time in ages we looked to be progressing
He probably would have kept us up were he to have stayed
We've stumbled from chaotic, knee jerk to disastrous appointments before he took charge again.
We've just gained 9 from 12 and appear to be on the verge of some semblance of stability.
Why a "snake"? Beautiful creatures, who've had it tough since Biblical times. Deaf, limbless, feared, yet more afraid of humans than we are they. Epithet often applied unfairly, in my opinion.
He'll be criticised when we next lose (as we undoubtedly will); his tactical nouse will be questioned (by me as much as the next person), but, for Heaven's sake, how short are our memories?
Season hasn't been too catastrophic for me. Other sides relegated from Championship in 2023 might even envy us.
I'm as gutted as ever when we don't win and am not assuming a prospective double against the current League leaders is a "given", but, come on, we're all ok tonight after an away clean sheet, aren't we, irrespective of the quality of the opposition?
IT MIGHT OCCASIONALLY BE HARD BEING A BLACKPOOL FAN, BUT I WOULDNT CHANGE IT FUR THE WORLD. COYP

I find the managers celebrating a bit cringe, especially if it’s just a standard home or away win.

If it’s a big game, derby game or you’ve won in the last minute or promotion is on the cards then yep I’m all for it as it brings the two together but as we’ve been stuck in 8th for ages, it’s not had the same feel when we’ve beaten Lincoln 3-0. It felt different in the Champ cos we were underdogs 95% of games.

This isn’t anti-Critchley, I’ve seen Barrow and that fat sack of shite Evans in his coat from Millets doing it too much popping up on Twitter.

Just my preference. Only proper celebrate when it’s important or emotions are on a buzz.

It’s the modern world though now with content for socials probably 🤪

Come off it - no matter where we are in the table the bloke is classless - who after shi**ing on 13,000 Seasiders by leaving like he did would give it the big one after winning his first game back.
Yes I’d love him to succeed for the club but I have no time at all for the bloke himself - hence the snake
 
If you win it’s the best feeling in the world.
Celebrate as much as you can because you will lose more than you win.
 
It’s not hard to get emotionally involved in our club I’ve brought many a person to Blackpool games who have fallen in love with the team the town and the fans Neil is no different it’s in him now he should never have started the pumps but I totally understand if he didn’t do them today, do them when there’s something to celebrate
 
Just seen this thread, already put a few thoughts on the "just back" one. He's either wanting to earn it back or is a bit miffed with the fans after coming under some criticism at games - people have been giving him shit at the dug outs when we've played badly at home, I imagine the reaction at Leyton Orient was a tasty one as well.

He didn't seem keen to do the fisting at Bolton at home tbh, turned a bit quickly cos we were mid chant and then came back cos those who ohhhhhh, "ooooooh'd".

We'll wait with bated breath to see whether the fisting returns against Portsmouth.

The majority of the north call for it so get it, all good fun for me.

I don't get the dislike of him. I don't always like the tactics or team selections but my guess is he is a decent bloke.
Not sure how we get most of the fan base, players and manager all working together.
Obvious answer is to win a few games on the bounce and get in the top 6!!

Hope it does as it means we've won. Happy to be fisted when we bag 3 points!!
 
The ones who cannot accept he left and make up ridiculous names for him are the ones with zero ambition themselves. He left because he thought it was a very good opportunity to better himself and I am very pleased he returned. He is the most successful Manager we have ever had, with 49% games won. (not counting David Dunn at 50% who only lasted 4 games)
I am not bothered about the fist pumping but I would like to hear Rockin' all over the World played at Bloomfield Road when we win

The drummer is timing a different chant intentionally as he approaches. Seen it a few times now. Never happened once in the Championship so can’t be a coincidence. He’s up against it for sure and damned either way. People want him to fail or just have some twisted agenda. Either way, for now, best to clap the fans and leave.

I'll have to listen out for that next time, it doesn't surprise me - I remember being sat near the drummer at Wigan away and he cheered when Ekpiteta got sent off, some bloke the row in front went absolutely mad at him asking why on earth you'd cheer your own team that is in a relegation scrap getting a player sent off against a relegation rival. His justification was that he wants Appleton sacked, crazy mentality, I thought the bloke was going to chin him!

We didn't have drummer yesterday tho.
