I booed him at one stage. I was convinced he was number 11 and was just getting involved in the pantomime booing of no.7 to warm myself up/venting frustration at being down to 10 men. Stopped once I realised he was in fact the number 7 that was getting booed. Soz Waggy
Disappointed to hear about this. I was never his biggest fan but his limitations where more down to confidence and technical ability. He was never want of hard work and was with us for a long time. Got a standing ovation in my living room when he went off.
Very disappointing by some of our fans. So I presume these same people will boo Gomez, Shelvey, Elliot, Konsa if and when we play against them. Wonderful incentive for Aribo, Lapslie and others who may play against at some point.
I thought it was because of his reaction to the Sarr challenge. He’s a brave boy to front the Nab’s up like that then he had words with the ref and lino before the red was waved. Shame really because the incident ran into the Darren Pitcher minutes applause which, in my opinion, suffered as a result. Waggy got a good round of applause when he was subbed I thought. Got to remember so few of us go these days that every moan and groan is amplified in the wide open spaces.
Nothing to discuss here. He let himself down with his involvement in Sarr’s sending off ( that’s me being very polite ). As such he deserved the boos that were directly related to that. He was a very average player for us who has clearly not improved in any way since he left us.
Can anyone explain to me what the hell that was about?
Why???
Because he rolled around like he had been shot, Sarr gotvsent off and wagstagff somehow recovered without physio treatment as soon as the ref got the ref card out. That might have something to do with it
A bit of perspective for those not there. I didn't hear any booing of Wagstaff at any time. (Obviously there was as said above, but I heard nowt. Non-issue).

Just seen the highlights as I missed the sending off while cleaning my glasses as it happened. Waggy has got some bollocks to front up to Sarr. The beard must have given him some extra minerals and no doubt Sarr would have crushed him with two fingers ffs.

How has Waggy seen the challenge though?
He's only going to get one angle / view himself so may have looked more nasty than it was from where he was standing - As I mentioned at the time, I find it odd that he'd react that way when we never saw that sort of aggression from him in a Charlton shirt
As for being an average player... the two League titles and one Football League Trophy that he's won at this level seriously say otherwise, thought he was one of their main threats in the first half

But that wasn’t Wagstaff...
Its quite worrying if people think the fouled player was Wagstaff and need to get themselves to an Opticians ASAP!!
I didn't get booing the lad. He has done nothing against us. Ok without realising it was him (just before he was sent off) he made a tackle and got book and I was calling for some consistentcy from the ref to book the player. But as soon as he was being subbed I warmly clapped him.

Seriously though, I just don't get some people's attitudes.
Sorry Stig couldn't resist it

We relentlessly boo a player who at 16 joined West Ham without ever playing for us.
Why should this be any different ?

How many on here moaning about the booing of wagstaff boo other players when they come back to the valley.

Always have his all, used to whinge at refs when he played for us and no one complained then.
