    Those players did today. If I was one of them, I would be inconsolable. Don't really understand why we have a right to say what they are/are not feeling. At the level they play at, they don't get many shots to play on such a grand stage as the one that was up for grabs.

    Of course they get paid well, and they weren't out of pocket etc etc. But fans and players look at it from different perspectives - doesn't necessarily mean that the players aren't hurting. I'll bet anything they are absolutely gutted.

    I think this is what my tired brain was trying to say, but was unable to articulate.

    Ask him (and its a serious question) , as to why does he think that we were total shite today ?
    I bet no-one has or does. Too much, yes Jacko, three bags full Jacko,we love you and Powelly Jacko. Can we come lick your boots Jacko.

    You never know, supporting the team might be a good thing.
    What, like starting today at 5am, and getting home at 20.15 - and driving for some 12 hours. !!

    What block were you in today ?
    @Norfolk_Addick - you dont seem to have answered my question about what block you were in today ??
    Bored of reading your shit. Go to bed, come back with a fresh head after school tomorrow

    There you go Kent, there's a perfect example for you - just some Tossa who wants to slag people off because it doesnt suit them, which one has the brain ?
    well, actually, i think that advice is rather constructive. Unless you're talking about my posts, which, if you take a look at the amounts of likes, and thus my e-penis has grown incredibly over the last few hours, you seem to be mistaken.

    you need to try harder, likes are not the most important thing for your e-penis, you need abuses, try slagging off the Dear Leader, your e-penis will be rock hard before you know it.

    Oh yeah, and just say something that smells a little bit like criticising the club, and you will have that virtual dick shoved right up your rear-end before you know it, causing no end of internal discomfort and possibly contamination.

    So put yourself in the shoes of someone who knows they've let down 5500 people and missed out on what would have been the highlight of your career.

    I can imagine that feels pretty terrible. I imagine it feels worse than I feel right now.

    not really tom, they get paid for things like today, they can also move to more successful clubs if they are good enough too, but we have a life sentence.

    As mentioned earlier, its the kids I feel sorry for. One day they will get used to it, or start supporting someone else.

    I must say my two little uns are not yet showing an interest in football, not sure I really want to put them through a lifetime of this to be honest, might let them support man utd/arse/chelsea like all their friends, or discourage them from liking football.

    It doesn't matter that they get paid for it. No money can buy you a chance to play at Wembley in an FA Cup Semi Final, potentially play in the Europa League, especially if you play in the lower regions of the Championship.

    Do you really think 18 and 19 year olds like Jordan Cousins and Diego Poyet can shrug it off and say "oh well, I got paid this week, like I do every week - makes up for not going to Wembley". Of course not!

    The majority of our team are not good enough to move onto clubs in the Premier League that are going to challenge for silverware or play at Wembley regularly.

    They missed a massive chance today to achieve something truly great, and they bloody well know it.

    You have gotta love Jacko . What he lacks in pace he certainly makes up for in spirit and enthusiasm .

    If only the whole team showed the same passion today .

    id say 3 players today looked like they wanted it jj being one

    Tbh I'd say johnnie is the type I'd feel more for, coming to the last few years of his career, last chance to play at wembley and potentially against his boyhood club. It's not just the 5,500 but the 50 odd thousand other charlton fans accross the world. All the money in the world doesn't remove the guilt. They're human beings, just like us. Some people need to put their football manager games away.

    And you need to stop rubbing your e-penis mate.
  • The players don't deserve anyones sympathy so jacko tried hard and is gutted

    So what that was a gutless abject performance

    The way we capitulated from Nil nil to 2 nil was the worst thing not the result most who follow charlton were expecting it

    Don't feel sorry for them don't worry about how they are feeling

    They deserved to be told to F off at the end when they thought they could come over and give their hand clapping shite

    And for the first time I am glad the were told

    I am glad fans told Kerin (spelling) or how ever her name is spelt at the service station that this is not acceptable to lose in such a way and that It has to stop

    Gutless bstds the lot of them

    One thing about following charlton we don't do it for the football or the glory of it

    On that coach there were men and women who are proper who even though pissed off that football had got in the way again of a great day

    Had the ability and personality to laugh and piss take for 5 and half hrs of Sudan luxury travel coach hell

    So the day wernt a total loss

    I hope they hurt

    But I hope more they hurt enough to be motivated but I know full well they will use the loss as an excuse and of their mental fragility as to why on weds and sat they won't turn up

    Great answers , as usual.

    Well, why don't you tweet him yourself? Oh sorry, I forgot you have such superior intellect you don't use twitter.
    I'm sorry Kent, but i dont use Twitter because its the most mind-bogglingly load of bollocks that man invented, purely for the use of boring,brainless,teet sucking idiots !
    Do you use it ?
    Apology accepted, I'm glad you apologised to me for being an uppity twat.

    Ahh I see, hundreds of millions in the developed world, including some of the worlds finest minds and business persons are boring, brainless, teet sucking idiots whilst you are just so above them.

    In answer to your question, in occasion, it can be a good tool I occasionally use.
    Hey, ho, see you next year at Fleetwood - at least i'll be there, probably unlike 5250 odd that were there today.
    Nah, we'll have at least 1,000 there.

    New ground syndrome, innit.

    The 0-0 to 2-0 and the 10 mins that followed was like Millwall away all over again.

    Players like JJ hurt cos they are proper football people as well as players. He even said on talksport two weeks ago that he likes to watch any football, but other players, especially the youngsters don't.

    Some players will never understand the feeling of being a fan, because they've never really been one.

    And it's not really their fault either, when academies start picking up players from the ages of about 8 or 9 sometimes then they never really get a chance to become a fan, they're just fed into the machine and ground out.

    Tom the thing is, aside from Jacko, I don't think they really care how we feel. They'll all be gutted they don't get to run out onto the Wembley pitch but I doubt we are given much thought at all

    Although not a Charlton fan I think Jacko gets it because I understand he actually supported Arsenal away in Europe whilst playing for the Spurs Academy.

    Not many players will have had those experiences as a fan,so I think it gives him a broader perspective .

    Based on what though? Because they all didn't come over and clap in an absolute one-off situation. Chris Powell is the type of figure at this club that will be beating the feelings of the supporters into his players week in and week out.

    Considering the likes of Hamer, Morrison, Wiggins, Solly, Poyet, Cousins etc have been with the club for years I do find it hard to believe that we aren't given any thought.

    They lost on the day. Not sure why it has to then be taken down the paths of "they don't care", when there have been numerous times in the past when they have shown that they clearly do.

    I couldn't give a toss whether the players came over at the end or not, I certainly didn't want them to.

    I'm not just saying that our players don't care, I think it's just footballers in general. I think we as fans are a bit naïve if we think that when the players go home they then feel gutted that they've let us down, I imagine they just chalk it up as another loss and move on.

    With a semi final at wembley on offer playing infront of a 60,000 plus crowd i'm pretty sure they are going to care. Trust me, they will be hurting after that even though it didnt look like it during the 90 minutes.

    Might do some of our fans good to realise that the players are human too? We are upset and disappointed, but will be nothing compared to how they are feeling. Well done, JJ.

    "Nothing compared to how they are feeling"?

    You sure about that? Maybe you want to come round and tell my 10 year old how he isn't feeling anywhere near as bad as the players who he travelled hundreds of miles to watch play and then break down when the second goal went in. Or me, for feeling guilty for inflicting this whole disease on him.

    I guess we've got off lightly in comparison.

    Honestly, some people .....
    My 8 year old is the biggest cry baby when he plays football and loses but every Charlton game we go to he says we'll win but I say we'll lose /maybe nick a draw and I get in his head to expect the worse and so he is subconsciously mentally prepared for the inevitable defeat
    In the early days it got to him all this losing lark but slowly but surely it's not affecting him as much
    It's all about the mind games , try it !
    Have done all that. Even told him on the way up it would be far better to lose at Sheff U than get beat at Wembley - be it a final or a semi final. Still didn't help him when that second went in. He just sat down on his seat with his head in his hands.

    Poor fella thinks he's a jinx. Probably because he's only seen us win three times this season - and he's got a season ticket - and bugger all last season as well.

    Though he did go to Barnsley last year, so I've told him it ain't gonna get much better than that!

    If he's seen us win three times this season, you should tell him he's a lucky charm, not a jinx!

    They lost on the day. Not sure why it has to then be taken down the paths of "they don't care", when there have been numerous times in the past when they have shown that they clearly do.
    I couldn't give a toss whether the players came over at the end or not, I certainly didn't want them to.

    I'm not just saying that our players don't care, I think it's just footballers in general. I think we as fans are a bit naïve if we think that when the players go home they then feel gutted that they've let us down, I imagine they just chalk it up as another loss and move on.
    Can't prove that either way. Footballers are just people, it depends on the sort of person they are. Some will care more than others whether they directly express it or not.

    The people around the club know the players attitudes better than us fans so if they do not represent the club in the right way or are not motivated for the reasons other than money, then it's there job to make the call to get rid or not play them.

    None of us will ever have the chance to play at Wembley in an FA Cup Semi Final.

    Those players did today. If I was one of them, I would be inconsolable. Don't really understand why we have a right to say what they are/are not feeling. At the level they play at, they don't get many shots to play on such a grand stage as the one that was up for grabs.

    Of course they get paid well, and they weren't out of pocket etc etc. But fans and players look at it from different perspectives - doesn't necessarily mean that the players aren't hurting. I'll bet anything they are absolutely gutted.

    No one is saying how they are/aren't feeling. The whole point was that it's stupid to just assume they feel worse than us, because it's unlikely that that's the case.

    You're right though, they don't get many shots to play at Wembley, so perhaps a few more actual shots today might have helped their cause

    So put yourself in the shoes of someone who knows they've let down 5500 people and missed out on what would have been the highlight of your career.

    I can imagine that feels pretty terrible. I imagine it feels worse than I feel right now.
    Tom the thing is, aside from Jacko, I don't think they really care how we feel. They'll all be gutted they don't get to run out onto the Wembley pitch but I doubt we are given much thought at all

    For many of the older/lesser players, it would have been their only chance to play at Wembley, so I'm sure they'll care, even if it's only the thought of personal glory!

    Of course they care - I think United showed no signs of having the qulaity final ball to hurt us and got lucky personally. A totally negative approach to the game from us, but on another day it would probably have worked! The players have to focus on a crucial game on Wednesday - anything less than 3 points and we will hit a new low. No point sending messages to players who will be hurting.

    Jackson never had pace. Trying to bring it back to reasoned discussion. I wish he had a bit of devil in him, but he trys and without any crossing quality orin a formationpace in the team I don't expect him to score.

    Thank you Jackson for the goals that kept us up last season, when half the fans said you lost their legs. And thank you for trying yesterday when you played in a formation that we all know has been unbalanced. FGS we looked a team for Huddersfield, albeit limited, why change to two up top?
