Parker-'I love everything about that club'

Charlton had no choice at the time other than to accept the money. Comical the amount of booing he got tonight!! Such short memories, such narrow mindedness! He was offered a job at a more esteemed 'company' that gave him more prospects and more money. Wouldn't the ones who booed him do the same? Yes, of course they bloody would!! Banal in the extreme!!

It's football mate. A sport where people like to think passion and loyalty exists.

It doesn't...much these days.

But you make it sound like playing charlton is the equivalent of being a tea lady in a boring office environment...then suddenly the president calls up, he needs an assistant.

I can't forgive him, in fact I got more bitter the worse we got over the last ten years.

Very grown up and mature of those who can but I can't stand him. And I'm jealous other clubs have had the benefit of his ability

And I also take pleasure in the fact that although he's earned more money than he's ever likely to spend, he's won f**k all in his career. His total of England caps is pathetic for someone of his ability too.

because he refused to play and train unless he got a move elsewhere!

I didn't boo him but fair enough if people did, coining him was disgraceful though.

Noticed Parker avoided the question when asked "how pleasing was it to score against your former team"

It says it all that as his career winds down at Fulham he will almost certainly still have made more appearances for Charlton than any other club. A winner in money but with his ability in my opinion he is a loser in football. And despite the wonderful memories I have of his time in a Charlton shirt I will never respect him for the way he left and yes I did boo him tonight.

Yeah when they had a free kick near the corner flag next to our end in the second half

Quite right it is disgraceful, he prefers notes

He was getting proper grief, from about 6 of our fans in the neutral bit, by the tunnel as he came off after his Sky interview at the end of the match
He's a lot more controlled than I would be , he totally blanks all the shit thrown at him

First scott Carson. Second troy Deeney. Now scott Parker.
Bit boring and moronic really.

No matter what a player he was for, as done in his subsequent career, or the fact he did what he did was over 10 years ago, I will never forgive him.

Not saying he should be booed (leave that for the pantomime), but why should we forgive him. Most fans accept the fact we will never be one of the major players in English football, but to have the opportunity to get into Europe taken away in the manner it was stinks.

All the talk of we would all do the same in our jobs has never held for me. Of course if I was offered 3 times my salary somewhere else I would leave my current employer (although when you are on £15k a week in the first place perhaps it is different anyway). But what most decent people would do for a a company who had been as supportive to me as I had been to them would be is find a reasonable solution to leaving, not go into work and refuse to do any work and been seen as so disruptive that you be ask to leave the premises. And if I had signed a 5 year contract 6 months previously I would have been even more respectful in the same circumstances to my existing company.

But no he acted like a total idiot and yes he may have earned more than that he could have ever dreamed of, but he would earned far more and achieved a lot more in the game if he had simply waited another 4 months.

Charlton as a club have always been a soft touch, but as a plus side we are very respectful to former players. How many round of applause do we give, loads, so I think it speaks volumes he still gets pelters all these years later. For all the efforts to say let's move on (including those on the clubs you tube programme who got very basic facts of the Parker case wrong on their programme this week) the bloke ruined a great opportunity for us and acted in a really poor manner

@JohnnyH2

Totally agree with this. Would not have booed him had I been there, simply because after the first time such a player returns, it seems counte-productive (indeed what was the first thing i saw when we arrived in the pub, him wheeling away after scoring).

But I will never forgive him unless he comes out and recognises why so many of us feel like we do, as you summarised so admirably there. His statement before the game shows that he still doesn't get it, and I guess he never will.

What? Read what I said, don't put your spin on it 'If there is substance in these rumours'. Whether I could see the alleged incident is irrelevant! If It is true as has been mentioned on here then let the club identify them and take appropriate action. I'm sorry but I just don't get what is funny about that.
