I've never booed the team while they were warming up or playing; but I can understand why people hurl abuse at players. I'll openly admit to having done this myself, but through frustration more than anything. When we're playing absolute gash, I know the team can perform better and it winds me up. When I was at school, we were always told by our footy coach "if you give away possession, you get up off your arse asap and you bloody well fight for it back". And it annoys me to see players just standing there looking amazed that someone has taken the ball from them or when the arms go up like they're about to burst in to the YMCA. You lost the ball mucker - get it back!!! I think that's one of the few things that kicks off my tourettes. It's just infuriating when you're on a low income and you sacrifice other things to make sure you can make the games every week and they put on a poor performance. I know that everyone has their off days and I know that it's not fair to yell abuse at players but, as previously said, heat of the moment has a lot to answer for!
Right, rant over! :011:
