Ashley Westwood , tommy spur, Darren purse , beevers, Martin Taylor , dean smith to name just a few received dogs abuse, and far far more joined in. So,e of those palmers were poor but they didn’t deserve what they got off our so called fans .

Rhubarb n Custard Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The reality is that it is easy to criticise. I'm not saying it's right, but it is easy and there's no shortage of platforms. It's one thing doing the complaining in the heat of battle of matchday ( something I am guilty of ) and completely another when you have time to consider what you want to say online. The difference now compared to pre-Internet days is that the criticism continues online long after the final whistle. Footballers by nature generally have big egos and think they will struggle to stay off forums/twit/Fb to see what fans think. There are a number of players who come in for routine abuse ( and deservedly or not ) the comments they see will not do anything to help them play better. There is no escape for them, they are constantly under the microscope particularly so here in S6. We seem to have a section of 'supporters' who are all too keen to do anything other than well 'support' We are entitled to have a moan, of course we are, but it never seems to end.

If a professional player can’t handle it they shouldn’t be in the job. I don’t mean the general frustration; I mean the outright abuse I’m talking about. 1 hour ago, james o connor said: Obviously didmt go from 2000 to 2010 ?

Jon Newsome Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Fans that boo their own players during the game are m0ngs, what do they think it's really going to achieve? We do seem to have the highest idiot percentage in the country, can we not make them take IQ tests before we allow them in the stadium? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I physically cannot help but shout abuse at Lucas Joao , the way he half heartedly tracks back, pretends to tackle, gets pushed off the ball by players half his height, never forward thinks only reacting at the last second having already lost possession usually. Genuinely drives me insane that he's a championship level professional footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 People work in sht jobs and rely far too much into a football club on a Saturday to make them happy. Beer starts flowing...no wife there...they really don't give a sht...its open duck season...and god forbid you've paid to be there and the players earn more money than you ever will...as if a normal human can earn that amount of money by doing something he enjoys..'I'll learn him a lesson in the real world.' I remember the fans building a gallows on the north stand when Darren Purse was out of form and scuffed two back passes..people lost their minds.

Kopparberg Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The ones dishing out loads of abuse are the ones that aren’t happy in their own lives. Like abusive internet trolls (angry unhappy losers). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't made it worse either, it just allows shallow mindless people to expose themselves for the idiots they actually are in a way that we wouldn't have been privy too in days of old.

Aye that would add to the Matchday experience...sat next to some tw *t called Tarquin, who applauds f.ookin' everythin' in case he infringes some full backs "Human rights" "Of course he can't tackle...he's not violently inclined..he could hurt someone...Give me a player that talks the ball off a winger using logic and a freeflowing argument"... "The keeper didn't make an effort to save that..simply because it was a Jolly good shot and the forward deserved his reward" Give over..........

It's hard not to have a dig sometimes, especially a player is earning decent money and repeatedly makes pi-ss curdling errors.
