Was that for him to qualify for a medal? |  |

No.
Just a nice touch from McKenna, like Hladky last year. |  |

They were all given medals after the game though weren't they - Aluko etc. Presumably the club can allocate numbers? Everyone but BR got one hung round their neck by Ashton. [Post edited 5 May 16:16]

In the old days, when the Football League used to provide medals for Division winners, you had to play 12 games to qualify. If medals are provided by the club, then can give them to whoever they want, even Ashton & the tea lady.
I remember the public disdain when a Champions' League runners-up medal was hung around smirking Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon. Bobby Charlton, who led United up, gracefully declined the offer of a medal. |  |

I thought a player had to qualify for one by actually making an appearance or two? | |

Chance to say goodbye I think. |  |

Poor Walts. He's been really unfortunate this season. Wish him well if he leaves us. | |

I think Aluko made one league appearance (QPR at home?). But Slicker got a medal too and I don’t think he played in the league. |  | | |

No because Ed will get one again too, presumably even the Manchester United player who we can't talk about if he wants one. | | | |

I don't begrudge squad players getting medals, TBF. The role of the squad is to push and drive performance,quality, competition. If those squad players do their jobs (and it is a job, regardless of they make it onto the pitch) the match day squad gets better. A bit like pacemakers in long distance running. They are not there to win, they are their to get the best out of the best athletes. All kudos to them [Post edited 5 May 17:03]

The club have probably sent him one in the post, but he might not be opening all his registered mail right now. | |

I hope BW can sort himself out and get his career back on track. There's a good player there if he can sort out his off the field issues. | |

I may have missed it right at the end, but did Gerrard Buabo (51) get a medal? He had some substitute appearances. | | | |

If anyone deserved 5 minutes, I thought Clarke did. But then you could make the same argument for Broady, Harness and the Fridge. And ultimately I don’t think any of them mind - such a tight group and secure in knowing they all have a role to play. |  |

I was playing in a Cup Final years ago & we were winning 4-1 & our captain brought himself off, plus our best player, to give 2 subs a run around. I didn't know exactly how much time was left, but I did absolutely scream at him "what are you doing!" | |
