Spotted this last night on the Sky Sports coverage and now a vid has made it onto Twitter - Josh Brownhill lifting the trophy in front of a baying mob of Rovers fans in the Riverside Stand.

What the clip doesn't show is VK telling Browny to stop it and then apologising to the Rovers fans. Obviously Brownhill was doing it as a bit of banter but I thought it showed a true measure of the man VK is with his reaction - we've won it in their back yard, enjoy the moment but let's not ram it down their throat.

Utter class again from our Gaffer!

No ******** to it let’s ram it down their throat like they did to us for decades

And here is the clip with VK putting his hand out.

Haha, that's amazing

Absolutely agree with the OP.

Was that after the missile thrown from those Fiddlers hit VK or before

Think you can look at this 2 ways tbh. The players getting dogs abuse for 90 minutes and then giving some back. Barnesy was laughing at the fans in the JW stand by the corner flag in injury time also. I don’t mind it at all. We’ve had it for years even when Garner scored for other clubs against us, for example. Fair play to Vinnie for the apology also but that in itself made it funnier in a way.

We have had it from players at clubs where we have no real rivalry, for example, when Wilson scored the pen for Newcastle that helped send us down last season he had to give some to the Jimmy Mac. This in a game where he was getting next to no stick from the crowd when he scored a goal with virtually no meaning for his own club, whilst helping relegate ours. You get players like Vardy acting like a two year old pretty much whenever he scores too.

What goes around comes around I think.

They've given us plenty over the years, feck them

They waited behind after the game just to give us grief, but cried when someone held up an inflatable toy. It’s glorious

I think he was saying sorry to the Steward who was remonstrating with Brownhill tbh

Can you imagine if they had won the league and Dunn was there, Brownhill was restrained. Screw apologizing, NNN

He wasn’t apologising to the fans he was telling the steward to calm down and he would sort it.

Those wovers youths never seen a trophy lifted,fantastic Gesture by Brownhill to give them an opportunity

He was just telling them they're staying down..

That’s absolutely outstanding from Brownhill.

Just look at the state of those simpletons, frothing at the mouth

Like rovers and players wouldn’t do it back, kompany will if laughed about it in changing rooms, he’s celebrated in front of united fans so many times

He’s lucky he didn’t get hit by that object thrown 5 yards by that fat lad too

Not being funny but that's a massive part of football. I love it when Vardy scores and gives some to the opposition fans, doesn't seem to matter who it is. I like to think if I was lucky enough to be a player I'd be cupping my ears and finger on lips left right and centre.

Don’t get me wrong - I loved seeing Browny giving them some, just thought it was a touch of class from Kompany and exactly what we’ve come to expect from him.

The video of Foster getting abuse from some Rovers fans and then celebrating the final whistle is equally ace!

Just like to point out that it wasn't the real trophy, it was a toy inflatable plastic replica. Bit like the fans really.

Haha looked like a wet paper towel.

I agree with both parts, but it annoys me when football fans give it out, with insulting language, hand gestures and vulgar insults, but as soon as a footballer gives some playful banter back, it's the footballer who is punished.

Why the hell would you want to stay behind and watch your biggest rivals celebrate, deserved all they got .

he's not bothered, banter boy

I think this was the risk when we won at Deadwood. It seems the fans can what they like to us during and after the match but Josh cant get a little back. Fair play by me. What about those 2 idiots at our dug out calling them c***s and all sorts with no re action. Wish Kompany big assistant had gicven them both a clip round the ear. Eye for an eye maybe. Super Josh. UTC
