Gillingham 0 Charlton 2 - 27/04/19 POST MATCH THREAD

My impression (which might be wrong) was that a Charlton fan outside shouted first, a Gillingham fan or two replied and then someone in our stand shouted as well.iainambler said:
I thought he was in the stand too, and whilst it was unacceptable, someone at the Gills end had shouted out first and our fan was replying in answer.Senpai said:
The Charlton fan that shouted during the minute’s silence wasn’t outside the ground. He was a few rows behind me near the back of the upper stand and nearly started a fight between supporters. Utterly despicable behaviour and totally disprespectful. I left the game half way through the second half as my ten year old son was getting fed up with some of the tanked up idiots behind us. Other than that a comfortable performance where we kept our foot off the pedal to save energy for some more important fixtures to come. Aribo had a good game.moutuakilla said:"Red Army" was shouted by a Charlton fan during the minutes silence - he was most definitely outside the ground and had no idea the silence was going on. A few Gills fans then decided to show their anger at the silence being broken by.... Breaking the silence themselves - go figure
Don’t get why the toilets were trashed - that’s just bloody pointless and very juvenile - but then again that’s how some people get when on the piss. Not our finest hour.
The stand is awful and the burgers probably warranted singing “Goodnight Horse” - disgusting and the worst hospitality possible.
My first visit to Priestfields and hope I don’t have to return - although living in Rochester it was easiest travel to a game possible! Their ground is terrible and the quality of their football even worse.
Those toilets were probably the best thing about the away end, quite modern and hot water too, braindead to trash them2 -
Walked past the fans outside the Fleur de Lys pub on the way back to the car. They were on the pavement outside pub and really intimidated my daughter who is just 12 and at only her second away game. They were singing a racist song and made us embarrassed that they were CAFC fans. There were masses of Police lining the road out including Met officers. I’m amazed they can be so openly loutish without being challenged.5

Bowyer appears to be thinking about team dynamics. He’s obviously not happy with the work Fosu is putting in right now. There was a pretty pointed message in his post match comments today so I guess it’s up to Fosu now to show he wants to be involved in the playoffs. Knowing Bowyer I doubt he’s burnt any bridges but he’ll want to see what he expects from Fosu before he gets another chance.golfaddick said:
Precisely. Would have been better giving Fosu some game time & getting him back into the fold than playing Parker. I know who I'd prefer running at defences......and it's not the bloke who trod on the ball with no-one around him this afternoon.wmcf123 said:
Parker looks very poor at the moment but he’s what we’ve got so we might as well get behind him.
Is Reeco available for selection again now? I think he showed more in his few cameos this season than Parker has so far.6 -
Joe Aribo is on another level.4

Fosu hasn't been a match winner since his hat-trick at Fleetwood. Used to be a player there but now he's a waste of space. I wouldn't want a bad attitude anywhere near this squad.SDAddick said:
Yeah I mean it's been clear for a while that Bowyer doesn't fancy Marshall and that there are issues with Fosu. My concern is, on his day, Fosu is a match winner. It's entirely possible that things are so broken down with him that it's now irreparable. But come the playoffs, if we're chasing a goal he could be a good option from the bench.ForeverAddickted said:

You have to remember, I watch training every single day. That’s where a lot of these players get judged. Especially the ones that are part of the squad or a sub on matchdays.
Something we all have to remember when we moan about matchday selections!!
I'm less concerned about who starts. I think Lapslie and Morgan deserve run outs. But we've got two really important matches coming up. I know I'd rather have Fosu on the bench than Pratley. They're different types of players obviously but I don't think Pratley brings much whereas we know what Fosu is capable of on his day. Freezing Fosu out hasn't worked, maybe it's time for a carrot.
Again, I say all this without seeing training and without knowing what goes on behind the scenes3 -

we committed the biggest crime today , smashing up toilets ffs if you’ve ever needed an eartha kitt and you can’t find a bog you’ll know what I mean, shitting in the street is soul destroying2 -
First things first - the match was boring and we were in charge at all times. Gills were on holiday already.
the minutes silence was broken by a guy outside. Definitely.
Response came from Gills fans was embarrassing but some of our “fans” retaliated to that. One in particular. If you’re reading you’re a cockwomble!
i went to the pub (Fleur de Lys) before and after and whilst most of it was good natured and harmless there were a few bellends present. One who thought it acceptable to stand on the pool table and punch the pool-table lights. One who tried many times to flip the pool table over - he eventually succeeded (with some help) and is lucky nobody got hurt. He promptly left the pub.
the landlady was rather upset with it all - it’s her home after all. I found it all pretty distasteful.
i cannot fathom what goes through these knucklescrapers feeble minds
on to the Rochdale game. 4 games 4 wins please lads6 -

Easy win with no new injuries. Would be good to get 4th but we are playing well and won't be afraid of anyone in the play offs. Luton might even be in the play offs who would've thought that a few weeks ago0

Definitely feels like he has a bad attitude though if he's not even bothering to impress during training and dont blame Bowyer for leaving him out
Else what sort of message does that send the rest of the players?1 -

It is sad these morons embarrass us. Sadly it reflects society and we have to remember that thankfully they are a minority. Hopefully they can be identified and banned.4

Sorry but the guy was inside the ground stood not far behind us. It was a Charlton fan shouting from the back of the upper stand who broke the minute’s silence. A few other people have also confirmed it. He was stood near me unfortunately.Swisdom said:First things first - the match was boring and we were in charge at all times. Gills were on holiday already.

Works both ways. He is only young & Bowyer is the old(er) head. It might be the Fosu it not "impressing" in training as he knows it's a fait accompli & LB won't change his mind. Maybe a boost of confidence is needed rather than sending him to Coventry.ForeverAddickted said:

Thats very true too but we dont know the conversations that Lee has had with Tariqegolfaddick said:

i.e. there could have been a few meetings this season where Bowyer has said he's going to give Tariqe another shot and wonder if on the most recent he's offered him the opportunity yet in addition with the warning that he was on his last chance, if that hasnt been taken along with a poor attitude in training then you'd understand Bowyer all but giving up with this latest statement being an attempt at getting a response from both players so he goes into the Play-Offs with as many options as possible0 -

Spot on.blackpool72 said:At the match.
Considering that we rested a few of our main players ( quite rightly imo )
We played brilliant .
The three players who come in for a bit of stick on here.
Purrington
Pearce
Pratley
All performed very well and showed that we do have some strength in depth.
All in all a very professional performance and onwards we go.
Only downside the pricks who decided to smash up the toilets.
It's not funny
It's not clever
It's not hard just grow up you pricks .0 -
Reminds me of Colin Powell's part in a certain Killer's goal of the season.killerandflash said:The usual twattish behaviour you get at local away matches, but on the pitch an excellent performance, there was a real gulf in class between the 2 teams today
Special mention to Purrington who didn't look out of place in a more advanced wing back role but also was defensively solid, while Pratley was excellent today, really beasting the centre midfield probably the best he's played for us. Cullen played very well in a more advanced role than normal, he should have had a second goal though, missing a complete sitter. Pearce was a rock in the center of the back 3, while Igor worked really hard and did the full 90
Aribo though was MOTM, he was a different wavelength to the Gillingham players, the way he could control the ball, lose a marker and create dangerous situations. The Cullen sitter was started by Aribo near our corner flag and finished with him putting over a perfect cross.1 -
That first goal did come from an excellent kick by Dillon to Purrington, didn't it?oohaahmortimer said:0 -
I think we need to forget about Fosu and leave it to Bowyer. We dont know what has happened and sometimes it is best not to. If for instance, Fosu has said he doesn't want to play for us again, Bowyer may be protecting him. We don't know, but we have a more than decent side and our focus has to be on the lads who are going to take us up.3

Hate to whinge after a good win, but that ‘allez allez allez’ song is absolutely shite.3

As some one who is in law enforcement, if you have any information, or images on your phones of the damage to the toilets, the lout who shouted out, or rascist behaviour, please pass it on to Crimestoppers, or the EFL.
I WANT THIS SCUM OUT OF MY CLUB!!!4 -

dire ground, poor game but my daughters first away game and she loved it.
was in the Fleur De Lis before the game, mainly good natured in there.
no idea why there were so many police there today, literally everywhere on the way back to the station0 -
Embarrassing all round. The team deserve better, the club deserves better.BartramBlitz said:Walked past the fans outside the Fleur de Lys pub on the way back to the car.

The footy’s good though.
What ever happened to those ‘clinging on desperately to a one goal lead’ matches? We’re winning games quite comfortably these days.
This was the best game from Pratley, who just gets on with breaking up the opposition’s play without any fuss. Purrington is also improving with each match, as is Dijksteel.
Pearce defines ‘stopper’. If he had half of Sarr’s ability on the ball he’d be playing at a much higher level.
I’m savouring every Aribo game at the moment, because I have a horrible feeling he’ll only play for us three or four more times.
It’s not going to be fun watching Duchâtelet allowing this team to be dismantled in June.6
