Quote: Rock God X "They are professional sportsmen and ought to be aware that it comes with the territory. Anyone in a high profile position like that will appreciate that a small minority of supporters are prone to posting rubbish about them on internet message boards. It doesn't mean they sit at home every night looking at RLFans and contemplating suicide.
I've know a few semi-pro footballers, and they read their club's message board for a laugh. They know that fans can be, well, fanatical, and they don't take anything they read on t'internet seriously. They certainly don't get as upset about it as you seem to have done.'"
I’m sure they're well aware of the territory mate and I don’t think Berro or any other player takes it seriously enough to considering self harm. But if you think that the way fans respond to players doesn’t have any affect at all on them, then I think you're wrong. Lets hope that Berro is completely ignoring everything said negative about him, his ability and his personality... And when he’s asked by other prospective FC signings what’s it like at Hull? He says, (in a Ozzy accent) “Its great mate the fans are bloody awesome”
That isn’t even the point I wasn’t trying to make anyway.
I did take a bit of offence to the inherent negativity of some individuals. I don’t understand the mentality of those who snipe and moan in one way or another at every possible opportunity. I‘m enjoying the season, I’ve got my criticisms and like anyone else and I have my opinions, but I don’t think the attention Berro has been getting is right.
Anyway.. boycott the stadium anyone? I’ve burnt my pass and my shirt….
