The whingers and moaners are everywhere, and I honestly think a lot of the time it's because they don't know what they're on about. A lot of these moaners just listen to other people moaning and copy them, causing a player to be a scapegoat and have unwarranted pressure.

Classic story of our "moaning minority" A t Bradford a Couple of years ago. Meat head stood behind us moaning about teamfrom first whistle with a few mates , already spoiling day for me from outset. Radford goes on a drive and his son of no more than ten years old turns round all excuted and said " wasn't that good from Radford day?" his reply was "have your own mind son and don't listen to everyone else, Radford's sh@t." later in game Tansey is under a bomb and same guy says "he's Gunnar drop drop it he's sh@t"Tansey takes bomb goes full length and flick passes to Horne and we score our try of the season. I obviously point out how sh@t he is during my celebration. At half time we are cruising by over 20 points and he goes quiet. Second half Bradford stage comeback but we hold on. He moans all second half but we win and both supporters go home happy. Me because we win, him because he was right all along we are sh@t!!!

Read an article this week about football crowds which made much the same points.

Everyone now thinks they are a Fantasy League Manager, message board sage or Sky TV commentator and can see things that the players, coaches and even referees miss or are just not as expert in the game as the 'fan in the stands'.

The concept of the 'supporter' (black and white tinted specs included) who cheers his or her team on when playing badly as a form of encouragement is openly derided. We may have thought this was a result of the 'Agar out' era but regrettably it is now the default mode for most people attending professional sport.

Just wait for the first time Wilf Sharp drops a ball, Richard Horne is tackled in possession, or an opponent breaks a tackle and someone and his mate will start mouthing off. If ever a player does something well the best you can hope for 'why doesn't he do that all the time'

Good job I didn't show your post Offy (Andrew ) To your aunt Sylvia 1 she know the rules 2 she doesn't
use bad language ..and that goes for most of our female supporters .Plus every body who pay to
see the game has an opinion ..And she has supported Hull FC since 1960 ..She has earned the right to
go to games and not stove over a cooker on a Sunday

Theyre having rights to opinions...then there is just idiots like that...who dare call themselves Hull FC Supporters

Had the same in the South stand on sunday, moaned all the way through it. Had never seen any of these at any games before.. The women were just chatting and have the occasional moan about the team. Obviously knew nothing. I am hones enough to admit I don't know all the rules, in which case I keep quiet and listen to others. And lets not forget that because we are women we can multi task which means we have the roast ready AND watch the rugby!!!

Fans have a go at female fans But remember they count
towards the gate attendance ..Let go back to the dark ages and stop them going
like the old smoke rooms in Public Houses ..AP will welcome any fans no matter if
they are Male or Female at the end of the day it's money that counts ..It's not just
the ladies fans that swear I can do my share just like a lot of poster on this form
Swearing only Embarrass you and I stopped blushing 60 years ago

Re: Supporters? : Fri Jan 27, 2012 5:10 pm  

A women only section at the KC could be the way forward

They get right on my teets. Idiot who sits in front of me spent the last 4 seasons defending agar and reckoning kath was the best thing since sliced bread. Can't wait for next week to remind him
