Abuse of players Melbourne game

[parkeysainter]

Seriously...only been on this site a few weeks but the abuse of players and coaches from some people is out of control. I can't be bothered copying and pasting examples but its easily found. Its just plain disgusting.

We had a crap half of footy against Melbourne in a very important game so I get it people get aggro and irrational. The Saints will have many more crap games in the decades to come. Its part of sport and following a team. You get let down.

But lay off the personal and crazy abuse of players and coaches on here. I would be horrified if you did the same to real people you come across: e.g. family, friends, work colleagues, shop owners, public officials, etc.

The game day thread is always an emotional roller coaster.
It is live action and full of emotion. It is game time and in the 'fog of war'.


Stop being a cry baby.

I agree Con. It's called passion. Heat of battle stuff. Some supporters wear their hearts on their sleeves. That is just how they are built.

They deserve it overpaid prettyboys!! Disgrace!!

This is not North Korea or a battlefield. Its simply a game of football played and coached by flawed human beings.

Cry baby? Are you serious....how old are you?

those weak supporters should stop and think about themselves a bit more rather than channeling their insecurities onto our players perhaps?

How old are you?
It's just a game of footy yet here you are on your soap box signalling your virtue.
Do you want a certificate for being so level headed?

Players are fair game in the match day thread. They earn 500k year and get the adulation of fans. You want the big bucks in the big league then you take the criticism. As long at isn't personal in nature.
All anyone said was Mav is a poor footballer. He may be the greatest bloke in the world.

For the two hours of game time you get judged for performance surely?

Are you saying if a player has a good game we should also stay quiet ?
You can't have it both ways.

Or is this like under 10s where everyone gets a blue ribbon for turning up?

Well said Con...brilliantly put, bravo

[parkeysainter]

You just answered a question with a question to start off.

Must have hit a nerve by the looks of it by your personal attacks on someone you don't even know.

The abuse of coaches and players is and was disgusting by some people on this site. That's not critical analysis and thinking. Its just being pig ignorant and arrogant. End of story.

Yep. The Saints players and coaches do get paid big bucks and are in the big league. They're not free from proper critical analysis of course.

Its still just a game of footy at the end of the day. Get over it champ. The stupidity levels associated with the irrational abuse of players/coaches is not on, no matter how much they get paid, their ability level, how bad they played, etc. Never should be.

So c**k head is not personal. It's just a euphemism for poor footballer.

Argh Kosi.
Always waiting around to have a go
It is a colourful description of the way he regularly and repeatedly ignores the first option and does a big wide arc whenever he gets the ball as though he were on show at the Launceston show.
Certainly directly attributable to the game.

he took a mark inside the forward 50 and didn't go the first option- who was on his own, right in front.

Waited just long enough for Dees to get back
then kicked to a contest and Dees swept the ball back.

So good to see the moral guardians of the site, who are without fault, calling out the sinners. Thank you. What would we do without you?

[Con Gorozidis]

But this is an ongoing weekly thing.
He plays football like it is an individual equestrian dressage competition. He's not a team man on field.
That is a direct comment on his football playing style.

That's not in dispute.
Weller has had a poor year, that's not in dispute either.

It's either turn on each other or turn on the microwave at this stage of the season

A small tweak can make them work with the door open.

I doubt SETI would be able to decipher the signal if they found Con's head in the microwave.
Joke.
