Of course some fans were annoyed. Why wouldn't they be? It's like football isn't allowed to be theatre anymore, it's got to be a sanitised corporate event. Like all reactions have to factor in external variables and be crafted into a balanced view. The tribalism, the intensity and the drama that made it electric is just stripped away. Now these genuine reactions are considered too much - as if you should watch and support your team from an emotional distance. As if to say: 'So what if the ex-player celebrated in front of the home end? We should understand it from his point-of-view. And good for him!' Good grief. Let football be football.
No issue with fans being annoyed in the stadium in the moment, just not sure it's still 'theatre' when fans are moaning about it on the internet the next day. It's barely even pantomime at that point
Was only boo’d after he scored and celebrated infront of the covered end. Muggy behaviour.
Really? I used to give him a bit of stick when he played for us (he was pony) so it’s fair enough for him to give a bit back when the tables turn.
He’s making a better career for himself up there than I thought he would so fair play to him, hope he succeeds and continues to prove me wrong.
He’s not though. Barely plays for them and only started yesterday due to injuries.
Imagine its more in the sense than what the majority of us thought he'd go on to achieve once he left - He was always viewed as nothing more than a League Two plater.
Quite a few ex players commenting on his instagram post, some of them giving back to fans giving them abuse. Mostly between Lyle Taylor and fans of course.
Just had a scroll through. Taylor is embarrassing. Being the childish person I am, I’m still laughing at the comment when somebody called Sean Clare “mole face”. So glad I don’t do social media.

The frustrations or joys of a game don't disappear as soon you exit The Valley.
Actions cause reactions, and reckon this is being a little bit over analysed.
Ex-player scores a terrible goal against former club and celebrates, fans of former club get the hump.
Me - "F*** off Morgan, it was a shit goal any way."
Morgan - "2-1!"
Me -"Grrr!"
In the moment I agree.
Some of the posts on social media the day after about it being a disgrace is incredibly precious and a bit weird.
Pretty confident it happens exactly the same all over the world and in every single sporting genre. Not too sure why Charlton are expected to be any different. Reckon it's best to let the haters hate, the philosophers philosophy and the experts preach their wisdom

Thanks for the lol.
Sure, but if your reaction to that is to go streaming onto the internet to screech about it rather than just be frustrated then that's a whole other level of not being able to cope. And that to be fair is very, very funny.

Talking about the game online is just how fans engage now. It's not that deep. If you find it funny, good for you.

I'm aware that's how fans engage, I'm on Charlton Life. Talking about the actual game on a football forum? Sure. Going onto Morgan's Instagram to tell him he's a disgrace for celebrating a goal and somehow getting into a fight with Sean Clare about it? Hilarious child behaviour.

I think we have been talking about two different things. I agree that going on his Instagram is OTT. People coming on here and venting their frustrations is not, though.

you score you celebrate.
