I heard general abuse towards Danny Murphy, but no Lisbie song, and no abuse towards Mrs Murphy or her son. If some of our fans targetted her and her son it is shameful. Maybe she mistook the general chanting towards Danny Murphy as aimed at her, that would be understandable if she is a loyal wife.
I am sorry if what she said really is true, but I have my doubts actually.
Our support was more or less non-stop throughout, not because it was 'our cup final' (we have more important matters to attend to) but because we are 99.9% class supporters proud of our team.
Have no idea at all about the quality of the Fulham supporters because I wasn't aware of any of them being there.

If you didn't go take no notice of the scoreline, up to their 2nd goal we were tremendous against a premiership team. Lets not forget we are 3rd Division but looked a very good championship side
Support was brilliant
The attention seeking bitch had no abuse from the Charlton support, if there was a one on one fair enough I couldn't comment as neither can anyone unless you were near.
Play like that & it's 3 points @ sheffield next week !!!!!!!!!!!!!
A very flattering scoreline. Got their second against the run of play and took the wind out of our sail.
Fans were brilliant. The people in the Fulham stands (as they couldn't have been fans) were ridiculous.
This was a starting 11 Premiership team which recently beat Arsenal and has been playing European football. They are a good team, but the effort the lads put in was brilliant. Solly had a very tricky winger in Frei but played him perfectly and Pritchard was up there with Big Yann for MOTM.
Not disappointed as it's an inconvenient competition. But happy knowing that some of that play would be good enough to tear most League 1 clubs to shreds.
Ignore the scoreline and be confident against Wendies!
Duff gave the forearm in the elbow joint f off signal in response to a charlton fan calling him a wa##er. I thought it was a pretty stupid response from him given that i am sure it is not the first time some idiot has called him that for no reason. I doubt anything will come off it, but surely it is just the same as suarez swearing at the fans the other day and should be treated the same? Personally did not hear any abuse to murphy's family and obviously that would be out of order, but i am sure he expected to get some himself.
In terms of the game - i thought we played valiantly, had some good chances, looked dangerous at time, and it was just the difference in quality between the premiership and league one that told in the end. We can be proud of the way the team played, I thought the atmosphere was fantastic - shame the fulham fans didn't sing as well though...
On the tube back I saw some right idiots trying their hardest to act like prats, swearing, intimidating a couple of old women and people walking past the train, seems to be a increase in the amount of idiots following us away this season
I thought we were brilliant today, regardless of the score, Green the only weakness, don't know why SCP doesn't play waggy, when he came on he was much better. Their support was appalling, they sung one song the whole game.
The job of SCP is to make sure the players know they were unlucky to lose by such a scoreline and if we get something from next week, avoiding the distraction of the cup will be a result. It was one of those if only games which wasn't reflected by 4-0. Fulham had that cushion from the early goal and had we taken one of the chances we created things could have been very different. Anyway -wish them well, let's beat Wednesday - the most important game by a country mile.
Fair result; unfair scoreline. Perhaps one day we'll score some deflected goals instead of conceding them. Good performance by all; great performance by Solly and Pritchard. I did feel that in the first half we sat back a bit and gave them a tad too much respect, but I think that early goal put us on the back foot a bit. We were superb after the break, but their goal against the run of play effectively killed the game off. Came away feeling proud of the team and our support who were great today. In fact I can't remember I time when we've lost so heavily but I still felt so good about things.
We did ourselves proud and IMO the scoreline really flattered Fulham. I came out of the ground thinking that 2/3-1 would've been a fair result, our effort deserved a replay but it isn't like that when you come up against clinical Premier League quality. Solly was my MOM closely followed by Pritchard who is looking like a really good find. Fulham's early gameplan appeared to be to get the ball out to Frei, their tricky left winger, to run at Solly who snuffed out his threat time after time.
They were quicker and stronger across the pitch as I expected but thought we matched them with our intelligence, technique and were a much more hard working outfit. Dempsey had a good game, he & Ruiz were by far the best players on the pitch.
Our confidence won't be knocked by this result and we'll be raring to bounce back with three points next Saturday. COYR.
Great day out today, 4 0 flattered them, but was never too bothered about the result to be honest. Now lets hope the brilliant atmosphere today has persuaded a few more people to make the trip to Sheffield next weekend.
I was in the very back row of Block 6, so had to stand all game........not a problem for me but my 8 year old boy had to stand on his seat & didn't really enjoy it, but never mind I suppose its his fault he is short !!
All things considered I am relatively pleased - glad we are out of the cup so we can concentrate on the league but a bit p***sed at the scoreline - its was never a 4-0 walloping and I felt we held out own, even at 2-0, and only tired when the 3rd& 4th went in. It also helps that their centre halves are 6ft 8in and headed everything we threw at them..........Kermy never really stood a chance.
Solly again was class, as was the back 4 in general, but my MOTM goes to Pritchard. A year ago he was playing non-league football but it didn't show & I felt he ran our midfield. BWP looked a bit more up for it & just needs a bit of luck.......... Jordan Rhodes just has to look at a football atm and it goes in - BWP had a couple of chances that would normally end up in the back of the net but met a goalkeeper on top of his game.
Have to say the bouncing looked good from the back of the stand - looked like most of the away end joined in and I've never seen as many groups jumping in tandem !! Also glad to report that I heard no references to Lisbie, Ambrose or to mothers/fathers,sisters or brothers - Danny Murphy got some stick, so much so he decided he didn't want to take the corners after 20 mins or so..........didn't hear anything directed towards his wife or son, but then again I was in Block 6 so miles away from the Cottage (if that it where she was)
Murphy stopped taking the corners after a "passionate" rendition of "Murphy, Murphy, you're a see you next Tuesday" .............. maybe to shield his wife/son from hearing it at each corner taken in front of the cottage. He took them again in the second half, but if Murphy's wife is suggesting that is was directed towards herself and her son, then it can only be to the fact that they are both Murphy's too. I was close to the cottage and didn't see or hear anyone directing insults directly towards anyone there (would anyone actually be looking out for her or recognising her ?). She may have moved to the directors box as she realised that Danny had stopped taking the corners because of the stick he was taking.
What fantastic support today. Proud to have been amongst you guys and I did sing, despite the fact that I am usually to be found in the West Stand at home matches.
Didn't hear the Fulham "fans" at all.
Solly was my man of the match - he is f__king quality - I don't care if it doesn't rhyme.
As has already been stated,4-0 was very flattering. We didnt deserve that. Thought Solly,Pritchard and big Yann were the pick of the bunch but all the lads stood up to the challenge today. At 1-0, their keeper made 2 fantastic saves and it was a case of 'if only.' Their 2nd goal was against the run of play and did for us and it was clinical finishing at just the right time for them. The away stand was ROCKING all game and the bouncy mustve looked brilliant from the other stands. Hilarious when Murphy stopped taking corners 20 mins in because of the dogs abuse he quite rightly received,didnt hear anything directed at his family. A great day out and the lads didnt let us down.

Totally agree with this post. Weren't outplayed on the whole but as SCP rightly stated, you have to take your chances at this level.
BTW I'm sure 99% of the Cottagers were cardboard cutouts !
Bring on the Wendies !!!

Now onto more important matters
They go into the changing rooms and come back out about 15 mins later so fans would have been gone
Almost surreal, if that was a 4-0, I'm a Dutchman.
Solly, Pritchard & Kermit were stand outs.
Good game to watch, great support, Murphy bottling taking any more corners at our end.
Fulham support-HELLO Hello Hello Hello, even stood next to a Yank Fulham supporter in the toilet in the pub beforehand who was pissing touchdowns.
Really enjoyed it.
Back to the League.

Any way without getting bogged down with the silly shit... Well done lads with the support
P.S Murphys misses has a huge ego and after 10 years she thinks abuse would be directed her then shes even more stupid than anyone thought
