    1992. 0-1 loss to Bury in the League Cup at Upton Park. Club captain Simon Webster yelled a similar message to the fans (2083 of us) as we booed the side off. I wrote to him to complain at his reaction and to his everlasting credit he replied with a long and very polite/apologetic letter by return. Can't imagine such a scenario in the club as it is now ...

    I do have some sympathy for Roger Johnson (I'm safe in Denmark, at least). With ten minutes to go with Charlton attacking the Charlton supporters end, a number of the 'ultras' refused, on several occasions, to return the ball when it crossed the goal line, instead choosing to kick it into the stand. At ten minutes to go, Charlton were, at least, in the Bury half for significant periods, fashioning a couple of half chances. As a Charlton player, I would have been pretty pissed off.

    ultras? what are you on about

    I went to half a dozen away games last season, and each time I was deeply embarrassed by a section of our support at some point. I wouldn't call them ultras, but I think I roughly know who @c4fcdenmark is referring to.

    That said, ValleyGary and co. insist nothing was particularly focussed toward Johnson, so it's still very hard to accept he had any right to say what he said.
    Not been to so many away games the last few seasons, but the last one I was at (Bolton) there were some pretty spectacular morons within our fans giving it out to Pope and Fox. Sounds like it's getting more frequent.
    We really have a proper Millwall-like element now that started a few years back.

    I went to Preston away at the end of last season, there were about 300 CAFC fans. No vocal support whatsoever bar 4 complete pikeys off their face constantly screaming abuse at fellow fans, "SING UP YOU C**TS" - though only songs they 'sung' were incest song and 'Preston's a shithole'; our players "FOX YOU'RE A C**T", "YOU'RE F*****G SHIT MAKENIOK - F**K OFF MUG" etc etc, and the Preston keeper "I'M GONNA RAPE YOUR WIFE YOU C**T".

    They'd come by free coach and were in my opinion more interested in provoking a reaction from Charlton fans, they knew everyone was trying to ignore them/getting pissed off with them. Really really unpleasant oxygen thieves. There was a middle-aged bloke (one of their dads?) in Stone Island clobber standing with them and scanning the crowd everytime they shouted abuse to see if there was a reaction.

    With everything else going on, having vermin like this at games really is the icing on the cake!

    I had to move away they was doing my head in.

    I doubt Johnson can string more than three or four words together (and two of those would be expletives). If you did write to him he'd firstly have to get someone to read it to him and then he would dictate a very, very short reply - almost certainly ending in 'off'.

    I knew Webster had penned the letter himself as, from memory, it contained the phrase "the lads were gutted"!

    If you send Roger a letter he might supply you with a couple of packets.

    see Crofts had come out and thanked the fans, apologising for Rojo?

    Crofts has managed to use 73% of all known cliches in that interview.

    We've got far bigger problems than Johnson and KM would appreciate having this very cynical "pro" as a convenient distraction from the holes in the team. Not that it matters to some who almost fell over themselves to spend a little time with her outside the ground pre match.

    sadly there's some who still hang on her every word, still spend plenty in the bars in the ground, still buy food, programmes, shirts etc

    but Johnson is the current Charlton. I am sure KM is doing exactly the same, but not on the pitch. There is total disregard for the loyal supporters.

    Johnson: (away at Bury) "if you don't like it don't ******* come!
    Meire: (if Season Ticket holders don't renew) "it's their choice"

    No apparently about it, he's a wrong'un. Signing him once is bad, twice after his antics at POTY amongst the way he treats other players/officials - absolutely beyond words.

    Strikes me that he is fortunate to still be 'earning' a living as a professional footballer. Quite why we summoned him back from India is one of many questions as to the club's decision making that we will probably never know the answer to. That he is in the side is indicative of how poor we have become. Suspect he will not win over the many critics he has with this latest petulant display.

    Used to get on really well with his team mates at wolves. Mind you the keeper is at Palace now, so Rojo can have that one.

    I suspect she's one of those people you can despise from afar but if you met her 1:1 you would not be able to dislike her. A very useful but annoying trait held by some people!

    I don't understand what happened to him in his time in India....

    Must have been something in the water.
    He wouldn't have been drinking the water, would he?
    Do keep up.

    (for the hard of understanding: that's a reference to rojo's aversion to alcohol-free drinks not Indian water quality)

    Rojo being in the team to start with is grim enough. If the accusation about his behaviour stands up and RS has to pick him again, we're really in the shit.

    Wind him up and get the expected response - hardly a surprise. The guy's a cockhead like a minority of our supporters.

    If you'd like a reminder of how far we've fallen, it's this quote: 'We came in at half-time thinking that we’d weathered the storm'.

    Away at Bury. Depressing.
    Yes. It reads as if we had been facing a Ferguson-era Manchester United at Old Trafford ...

    One person took about 10 seconds to return the ball and he good plenty of stick for it.
    The first time only. It continued with increasing delays in returning the ball, with the crowd near the protest banner repeatedly hoofing the ball into the back of the Charlton fan's stand.
