Quote: Offy "I think the meaning of the word 'supporters' is thrown around to easily these days.
On sunday, whilst sat in the East stand, there were a group of women sat behind me...not once did i hear them cheer on hull, ont once did they say 'well played hull' or a hull players name...all i heard was constant abuse towards the team and players.
"you're a fu(king disgrace Hull" when KR scored just after the break. even after the 2 quick tries to bring the scores to 20-18, still nothing.
Aparently, the players should be at their best by now, aparently because they've trained together for about 4 months, they should know each other, how they play and everything should have clicked by now. Aparently, training fitness and match fitness are the same thing.
When i pulled them up on all this, all i got was abuse, told me that "i've been going since long before you were born" (with some unsightly words in there aswell)...clearly they've learnt alot over the years.
This is not the first time ive had these sort of "debates" with other hull "supporters"...also have as 'friend' that texts sme all the time complaining about the things at hull and NEVER says anything good about the team...if/when hull do something good.
Being a FC supporter, for 16 years, i've never know hull "supporters" to be so fickle and against their own team.
So i was wondering why you think the population of these type of "supporters" is rising, and if you have any friends like this?'"
I think the type of supporter you describe are all regular posters on this site.
