BLUES FANS TAUNT GOALKEEPER: Blyth goalie abused

Blyth Spartans keeper Peter Jeffries gets abused by the travelling Birmingham City fans behind the goal.
Full credit to him for being a good sport and clapping us at the final whistle despite all the abuse. A proper bloke playing for the love of the game and an example of what football and the FA Cup should be all about.
Jeffries praised Blues supporters on Twitter for being great fans and joked in response to this video: "Diet starts today." He also confirmed that he's abused keepers the same way in the past as a Hartlepool season ticket holder.

[@Toxicpot76]

Exactly davo stuff em. If they came away with us they'd probably get the shuts because they wana with the game in peace and not sing and have some fun! Clearly the ones who are against this are stay at home tv fans.

[@lukemcilwrath2679]

Adam Chapman the goalkeeper doesn't care he came up at the end and applauded them they just wanted to have a bit of banter. Every player gets chants against them they just need to learn to take it in their stride.

[@prithviprakash1110]

Fucking hell, am I the only one who got touched towards the reception in the end? All that ruthless taunting throughout the game, only to receive a whole hearted applause from the same fans after the full time whistle. Absolutely beautiful.

[@geoffpoole483]

In the late 80's I used to watch Arsenal at home and the Arsenal fans would always applaud the opposition keeper when he ran towards the goalmouth. Nearl all keepers would nod, wave, or similar. One who didn't was John Burridge and the crowd turned on him. The Birmingham fans gave the Blyth keeper a lot of stick but when the final whistle blew it was time to show some respect and appreciation.

Being a Goalie myself I enjoyed watching this so much. It is just a part of the game and something that makes English football outstanding to other leagues. Top banter from the fans, and he is taking it the way a player should take it.

[@geoffpoole483]

It was good-natured. I used to watch Colchester United at their old ground in Layer Road. The terraces were very close to the pitch and the away team's goalkeeper needed a very thick skin.

[@RealMullaney]

The people saying B'ham should be fined or the fans were out of order clearly have never been to a football match, or don't understand what a joke or banter is. As soon as that final whistle is blown, B'ham fans don't think of that keeper as a fattie or a wanker, they respect him as a player and person. But during the game, it is a given that every teems fans will dish out some banter. The FA Cup brings people and teams from different areas and leagues together, and the keeper clapping the fans at the end shows this great spirit.

You'll never see this at the Emirates or the Ethiad! I'm a Liverpool supporter, but this is missed hugely in our games on a Saturday afternoon kick offs. Used to go and watch my local team play and we used to love giving the opposition keeper stick like this. It's only a bit of friendly banter and it's entertainment. Atmosphere at grounds these days are like libraries. Too much of a 'corporate' feel and ordinary working class hardcore supporters muscled out.

[@crazynighthawk]
