No banners, people: Just get behind the club

Not exactly the best way to get your point across.

Disgraceful Banner

A fan protest took place outside Cobham today. The key word here being fan – yes, it was just one lad displaying his extreme displeasure with the way things have been going at the club lately.

Now when I first read about this, I initially got a huge kick out of Carlo’s response, then thought this was some kind of wind up. Apparently not, though.

According to a member over at CFCnet who took it upon himself to head down to the scene of the crime, a genuine supporter was behind the banners. He says the guy was a lifelong Chelsea supporter in his 50s, who basically had the best intentions but just made a poor decision. He talked cordially to the guy for a few, and after he left, the banners were removed. Supposedly even John Terry talked to the guy, apologizing for recent results.

I say fair play to the older gentleman. We all make rash decisions. Still, this isn’t how to handle this poor run of form and the growing unrest beginning to engulf the club. We need to continue to back the board, the coaching staff and the players. We’re supporters – through good and bad.

Keep the blue flag flying high.

    Anyone could have put the banner there. Even the photographers, wanting to create a little scoop for themselves instead of returning to their papers with nothing. It's a lot of rubbish and it appears some people are actually attaching some level of importance to this nonsense. There has been no "protest" so the press invents one. They're having a laugh. And mugs everywhere take it seriously. Sad.

    I've seen the photo of the guy with the signs on some paper. They really did talk to him, that's why we know it was just one guy and not two.

    im not convinced hes a true fan to be honest, so he wants abramovic to be out as well, the guy who bankrolled 600m-700m into the club. You gotta laugh

  • Oh we was a supporter. The guy on CFCnet said he had three classic Chelsea pins on his hat. Like I said, he just let his passion for the club get in the way of his senses.

    It shows you what kind of fans Chelsea fans really are. After such a bad run, so many people support the club and only ONE person was this upset. I admire the maturity of CFC fans. Good coaches can have bad times. Great coaches can have terrible times too, (Clough at Leeds anyone?)

    Scolari was really bad though, no doubt.
