We get berated if we boo and there was certainly nothing to cheer about.

You could always loudly berate Platt before he's touched the ball as the 'supporters' behind me were.

The atmosphere has to have an effect on the players and yesterday it was dead.

Yeah, a lot of that. Little actual support from the "supporters" but lots of "your'e cr@p" type comments. Very inspiring no doubt.

I did some shouting. Mainly at the ref to be honest though!

That's natural though.
I spent quite a lot of time shouting at the kids until one of them fell down the terraces then i got the satisfaction of saying "I told you so".

There's his mistake. Taking on the Welsh in a singing contest is bound to end in defeat.

We'd have struggled taking on a one legged man in an ar5e kicking contest.

Personal pride? But if you like I can counter with Warrington at home, Wigan away, Cas last 10 mins, Catalan 2nd half. Maybe Leeds and Saints game says more about their performances than ours.

Sounds like he's trying to overload the players. First passport photos of the Welsh now hymn sheets. All the best hymns fit on one page anyway unless Rinaldi was needing translations?
