Clapping players when they get sent off??

Why did the Wednesday player get clapped off last night??

it was strange. But I think it was a view on the silly ref.
Game was over so why bother sending him off.
A sympathetic clap.
But tbh, the player then lost any sympathy when he refudedicated FL's hand. So bollox to him.

Why did the Wednesday player get clapped off last night??

Perhaps because the crowd including many many City fans thought he had played well and had been harshly treated. It was not a vicious foul, not even a clear goal scoring opportunity so they stood as one to commiserate with him.

I was one of them that clapped Zabba off and I did it last night for the reasons mentioned above.

Perhaps it also shows we have some class. It did not matter that he was an opposition player.

Fair enough couldnt work it out last night! I thought it was a red card personally, just thought it was weird he get more applause than Jeremy Helan.
