i think its bang out of order the abuse myler got when he came off, we dont no when hes leaving or staying or whats goin on its all just talk at the minute why dont we try and just get behind the team and myler , he wasnt the only crap player last nite they all were. other teams are losing players at this stage of the season (gilmour and long) but i bet they dont get loads of abuse. oh and if mcrae doesnt pick ratchford at stand off for the next game im not goin!'"

I do not normally stand in the shed but due to the weather I had no choice.
I could not honestly believe the $hite people were hurling at the players.
Do any of them actually know how to play the game.
Yes Myler (and he was not alone) had a bad game but booing and personal insults will not improve things.
I never do this at a match it is counter productive and makes things worse.
Yes I come on here and have a moan and get slagged for it but when I am at the game I support the team.
Looking round the shed now you see people who just seem intent on going to the Willows to get pi$$ed and have a go at the players and other fans and by that I mean Salford fans.
I had some behind me who most of the game had there backs to the match (probably best ) and then when Myler came off hurled abuse at him.
Carry on everyone you will eventually drive out what talent we have at the club

In my experience Salford's fans only behave badly when they're driven to it! The frustration over signings and team selection has come to a head this year.

I think the Saints result, has in fact done the supporters no favours whatsoever. This is due to the fact that it showed that if the right team is picked and the players give their all just what they are capable of.

How many times has that come together this season? Maybe 4 or 5 times.

I'd like to compare us to Wakefield. A team who play well consistently, even in defeat, and are clearly well coached and motivated.

If a player like Myler makes it clear that he's moving on, Salford fans just won't wear it, especially if he appears to be having a poor game. How do you expect them to react.

As I've got older and been able to take a more objective view, I've been able to handle disappointment better than most. But, unlike some others who seem to have forgotten what it's like to be young and foolish, the reaction of our fans should be understandable.

They are PASSIONATE and showing it! Would you rather they stay away?

great post Red Preacher. I agree with every single word and sentiment

If being passionate is not watching the game generally being pain$ in the , fooking about and then after not watching any of the play booing and abusing players then yes I wish they would stay away.
Maybe I am now a old fart but I can not ever remember being like that at a game when I was younger.

sorry PR, couldn't resist

and btw, I fully agree with you as well as Red Preacher, the behaviour of some people who attend games is nothing short of diabolical. Sadly, it's just a sign of the times and an indication of the total lack of respect for others in today's society as a whole.

I know this is salfords board and its your arguement but if you dont mind I'd like to stick my two penny worth in.

Your side isn't bad. Now I know its not what you want it to be but no side is who is on their first season back in the SL. Last year we finished last but got some great wins over Leeds and St's. Sound familiar????

This year we are on the fringes of the playoff and thats steady progress. Something that Salford is infinately capable of.

Slagging the players isnt the route and isnt something I think Salford fans have a reputation for. Your squad is there or thereabouts the 12th/13th best in the SL and is performing according to potential. It will get better with stability and a new ground attracting players. EXACTLY like us!

As for Myler - you cant blame him if big clubs are after him. He wants to be where his ambitions for trophies and rep selection are and that isnt Salford at the moment. I'd have felt the same if Westerman had gone.

I think he should do two more years at Salford where the expectation on him is lower but thats his choice. But he is a support type half back who needs a dominant pack to excel. Ratchford isnt, he is less of an organiser but is more off the cuff - hence thats why I think he is a better option for the pack Salford have and will have for the next few years.

Anyway, best of luck - ive got a vested interest in Salford now Im teaching PE round the corner now!

I think one of the main problems is that for some reason the way we played the last time we were promoted seemed better/ more commited. I may be wrong and I'm sure I am statistically, but I just don't remember us playing so poorly with what on paper seems a less talented team than what we have now. It may be that having won some games against teams like Saints, Leeds and the once mighty Bradford a large majority of our support have become to overly expectant.

As Red Preacher has said this team just aint good enough. Some people need to realise this.

As for booing Myler and others. I will never boo any player but lets face it they're all grown men if they can't take a bit of the rough side of the crowd then perhaps they're in the wrong job. If Myler thinks this is bad just wait till he's at wire and they start at him. Our boo boys are nothing in comparison to that lot. He should look on this as a learning environment

I think there's a clear distinction to be made between the complete bellends we all know who are currently following the club and other, genuine supporters who will vent every now and then. I'm not condoning the pint throwing, nor am I condoning anything out and out vile and personal, but people will get frustrated and every now and then people will say something. Jesus, when Cas got that scrum last night (right in front of where we were stood) I gave the officials a bit of a verbal, erm, 'bashing' shall we say. As long as it doesn't boil over then there's nothing wrong with making your feelings known to players/officials. You'd be happy to praise them with just as much gusto if things went well.

As I've said, I'm not condoning the behaviour of what is, in reality, a small section of our support. But don't use it as a reason to decry everyone who makes their feelings known.
