I took the kids to get autographs after the Wolves game last season. All signed autographs and had pictures with fans...apart from Cantwell. He was carrying his child, which definitely seemed like a deliberate ploy to avoid interacting with supporters. 

I dont rate Cantwell at all but that accusation is probably slightly harsh.

I was outside the players lounge one game last year and the vast majority of players were out post match signing autographs.  Cantwell comes out trapsing behind them all last.  Stops, looks at himself in the mirror, then works his way down the line ripping up all the signed autographs.  

The kids couldn't believe it.  Not least when he bust a gut to catch up to a kid making a break for it.  Fastest hed run all day is what people were saying

Don't know what to say to that if true.

That's atrocious - why would anyone be so spiteful as to do that?

Did he think he was being funny or something?

I took it as a wind up, not a chance did that happen.

Ah OK- that would make more sense.

Strange thing to post.

I'm assuming if there were a load of kids meeting the players, there would have been plenty of cameras about.

In the lounge after the Watford game last season, Kevin Gallacher made a special plea for fans “not to ask Todd for an autograph as he was ‘in a hurry’…”

Not on the pitch then ?

[RevidgeBlue]

At this point I've lost track of whether these are serious responses or "That's nothing. After (insert game) he ate 2 babies and spat out the bones" etc.

This is serious pre-season nothing to talk about fan madness.

The West Brom game will come round soon enough... then we will wish all we had to talk about were phantom autographs....

Think it's maybe as  a result of Dolan leaving.

You'd not have thought so if you'd seen it. His missus was with him with free hands.
