‘Can’t blame Bishop for not celebrating…show some respect’: Portsmouth and Blackburn faithfuls react
Plenty of talking points emerged from Pompey’s Championship draw with Blackburn Rover - including Colby Bishop’s goal and muted celebration. Here’s a selection of views from X (formerly Twitter).
What a shame bishop did't celebrate when he scored and you can't blame him , been stabbed in the back by so many fans #pompey @pompeyaj1
They turn so quickly buzzing for him he’s scored hopefully this kickstarts something for him but he he didn’t have a clue what was going on for that goal unfortunately when next starts order will restore @BluesPfc_
A guy behind me said sarcastically "Colby will save the day". Right up you. Respect a guy who has done a great job for our club. @Motiv8David

Not really sure why any player would be surprised by criticism, as long as it’s constructive. If you’re not performing at a big club, then criticism will happen. What would he expect? That being said, be old and wise enough to ignore the haters. @RobaFett1898
McQueen is like… ‘Colby, stand in front of the goal, I’ll blast the ball off your chest so you score!’ #Pompey Bishop magic hat is back… #PlayUpPompey @GibMonkeyPompey
Result about right at Fratton Park. Pompey too shaky at the back and not clinical enough in attack. News of 3-month Arthur injury raises questions. All Pompey injuries seem to be long term. Bad luck or what @IanDarke
I’ve see enough. Bring back Nico. This Polish netman has been at fault for both goals and is no better than Schmid in any other respect. Another recruitment flop. @PompeyPedro
Do we have a recall clause for Steward cos….. #Pompey @jayr1972
A solid point in the end. We very much rode out luck at times. A draw probably the fair result. We need to bolster our defense, it's too weak. Especially at LB. The international break will do us wonders to get injured players recovered and maybe bring in a free agent or 2! @GiallorossiBlue
Good result considering we never ever win at Fratton park Would’ve won if they stupid Indian penny pinchers decided to sign a couple players @brfcrover1
