On booing ex players...I recall our lot booing Dean Marney who was one of the heroes of the Wembley win.....Never understood why we'd boo a decent player for us....I guess every club has its fair share of knuckle-draggers..
No sorry just don't see how its okay to hurl abuse in a football ground that would get you locked up if you did it anywhere else Its not okay just because you feel anonymous in a crowd. He doesn't have to evidence what he feels was unacceptable. Its not a court of law he's writing an opinion piece in the HDM If you think the article somehow challenges your values, You really need to give your head a shake. Its 2024 not 1974 Please don't get upset by this. Its just the way it is in the wide world now a days. I'm off to watch Gone Fishing
The point I was making was that nothing that could be considered as stepping over the line was caught on TV. You were there so could get a better feel of things and only heard the standard sort of stuff. So what did Cooper supposedly hear? I am pretty sure booing and being reminded of the score is not something that is going to affect the mental health.
Maybe crocheting would be more your scene than going to a football match. He isn’t writing an opinion piece he is coming out with unsubstantiated allegations.
I’ve not checked all the posts but. It sure if anyone mentioned in Hughes’s defence for his error. He dropped his shoulder/held off their attacker brilliantly initially and was set to play and easy ball into the left back position - I’m not sure who it was but perhaps someone scrambling back from midfield. Whoever this player was, they went down, seemingly injured - This caused Hughes to pause and then get caught. It wasn’t him being as sloppy as it first looked. In hindsight he should have just side footed it in to touch but it was the sudden collapse of our player that caused his error.
It’s not the fannying about that’s the problem. We fannied about quite well on Saturday. It’s when McLaughlin moved into midfield to receive the ball we got into trouble.
What was said that would get you locked up? I heard booing,yes booing!! Cooper then comes out with a pile of guff, adding no facts to his rant, in a local rag!! And you're telling people to give their head a shake?
I remember thinking how pathetic and childish the booing was when I heard it while I was watching the game on Sky. I didn’t pick up on any particular verbal abuse but that level of booing against a young player who had the temerity to decide that his career path lay in a different direction, seemed excessive to say the least. Yes, I’ve seen and heard a lot worse over the years at many grounds but surely that doesn’t make it acceptable, especially not in this day and age. Those who think it is and decry those of us who don’t as being “delicate” and much worse, need to ask themselves how they would feel if it was happening to them or one of theirs. Irrespective of what money that person is earning.
The booing was definitely excessive and frankly a bit small time for fans of a supposed bigger club. But counteracting the message about mental health awareness? I don’t see it personally.
Yeah, his outball was Giles from memory, but he went down so had to adjust his shape , but thought too long about what to do next. Should have just knocked it out in hindsight.
On your next visit to a City match make sure any verbals you may be tempted to express are restricted to a muted tut, just the once though. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
How much abuse did Frazier Campbell get when he returned ? He just laughed it off, and eventually resigned for us. Not many on here will remember the dogs abuse Malcolm Lord got from our own supporters when he ran on as a sub one game at Boothferry Park. The boo's were echoing all around the ground. A lot of that was whipped up by the HDM too, and of course it spread like wild fire. Mally Lord was actually a tremendous clubman to Hull City, local lad too, who was actually a very good player. Cooper is just 5hit stirring in the local rag, it was nothing out of the ordinary and had feck all to do with mental health. Cooper was probably told to come up with 500 words to fill a space on the game and came up with that rubbish. The same rag reports on much worse 'banter' at the Hull RL derby as though it is something wonderful and unique to Hull.
Yes, but only if it's out of sight of the players. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
