Think we were shell shocked at the second red for a home debut before the first has even completed his ban! Hughes could have avoided it. I am no football manager but even I could see he was heading for a red. Credit to the ref for bring patient with him. Of course we will be back cheering the lads on but a bit of recovery time needed needed after today.
You have snapped me out of my coma! I've read loads but haven't had the heart to post. I was in P block and thankfully my 7 yr old pulled out last minute (hamster died an hour before leaving.... very sad at that age and lots of tears!). I digress but my point is I watched rangers fans arguing, screaming at each and to the point of scrapping. Couple that with the boos that are starting and the '£80000 your having a laugh' chants it was thoroughly depressing! I don't deny much is justified but it's not constructive and don't believe it helps. I left a couple of minutes before the end with the sole aim of not hearing boos. I'm regretting having bought tickets already for Everton and Arsenal because given the choice, despite us both loving the atmosphere there, today it was not a place for a 7 yr old. I'll be back in the lower loft for the remainder. I'm lucky to have a first teamer live nearby and regularly chat out in the town. All I can say is none of them like or want to lose and all are desperate to stay up. They are working hard and want to succeed. We can look at negatives and there weren't too many positives but I don't want to spend the rest of the season booing and slagging the team off. We need to fight together to the end and 'we'll support you ever more' not 'what the f**king hell was that'. Certain things were unacceptable today. One thing we can guarantee is MH is going nowhere so we have to trust him to deal with JB having a go at AT, the poor finishing, the giving the ball away, discipline etc Booing any of them will not help.....all it does is add extra pressure next time they go to take the free kick or tuck the ball home and that is a downward spiral. I'm waffling now but come on you r's and roll on Everton!!
I agree, I got season tickets for the paddocks this season never having experienced them before and I am dissapointed by the crowd with me, I felt sorry for those desperately trying to get the rest of the stadium to join in
