weeyin Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Easy enough to say when your sitting at your keyboard 5000 miles away. Its a bit different when you are wrapped up in the atmosphere, the guy makes the same mistakes over and over again and then starts gesticulating at the crowd as though its their fault. 5000 miles away is an even poorer argument. I have seen plenty of bad keepers at Fir Park - John Gardiner being the worst - and plenty of bad players in every other position. I have yelled abuse at some of them and laughed at others. The horror of Smith gesticulating at some mouthy fans doesn't even register on my outrage scale. Fans that can dish it out, but can't take it, makes me laugh though.

underboyleheating Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Fans that can dish it out, but can't take it, makes me laugh though. Well said. I’ve shouted abuse at players over the years with the full knowledge the player in question may say or do something in return. When Jackie McNamara was playing for Celtic in a game at Fir Park he flicked me the middle finger while picking the ball up for a shy. The fact that I had been calling him allsorts of names had certainly made me fair game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really does my head in when fans slebber all over the place at some player only for them to get more mad if the player reacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I like it when the player reacts, it shows I'm getting to him. He's always on the other team mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
