Players are human and if they felt as deflated and raw as I did and I suspect it was far more so, then what they managed on friday was excellent in my book. They wanted to make folk happy and they tried but their hearts and especially their heads were elsewhere, as was mine.
I hope I never watch a game under those circumstances again. I was emotionally drained after Leons dads interview and any possible pleasure was lost then and rightly so.
It was a game that had to be played even if no one really wanted to play in it. What a dreadful week, yet no one could have done more for Leons memory on friday, win or lose. No one who was there and has a shred of decency will ever forget the shear emotion of the night.
It was not a good night to be a fan but as human beings it was a privilege to be there - but hopefully never again!'"
Totally echos my feelings.
As for fans leaving, I would have liked them all to stay, but everyone does these things their own way.
No need to apologise to me JD, you, as with those around you, have been a beacon in all this.
