Quote bullinenemyland="bullinenemyland"I'd agree with all of this... think everyone is pretty much on the same page in terms of why we lost in the end.
What I would add that I can't see mentioned is that some of our "super fans" (you know the ones that stand near the drum and appeared on Wagga's Game Day a few weeks back) need to take a good hard look at themselves.
York beat us fair and square, and I think would have even with some less controversial decisions from the officials. They wanted it more. Therefore to stand and watch some of the vile abuse York supporters and players got at the end was not pleasant at all.
The group tend to have some good banter with opposition and that's all well and good when we are winning, but they really need to learn to lose with some dignity.
York should have been applauded for making it a good game and the travelling support was better than any other side we've faced... instead sadly they will remember the sour grapes from a minority of vexed up yobs.'"
Assuming it's the same group I'm thinking of, the majority are effectively a load of young lads who like a beer but can't really handle it all that well. I've seen them arguing amongst themselves and with other fans (both Bradford and opposition) and generally being idiots. They seem to have this superiority complex about them (evidenced by the way they act at Blackpool, like they're the "leaders" and them showing up is an event) and don't like being challenged.
As much as they can be very good at getting the atmosphere, singing and chanting going, a large amount of them are also very very immature. And some of the older people that associate with them seem to drop down to their level instead of bringing the younger ones up to theirs. It's the immaturity and superiority complex that will be the reason they acted like that to the York players and fans. Which is a real shame that York people would go away with that impression, rather than the one they would have if they talked/interacted with most other Bradford fans.
