You do wonder that if the abuse continues from the fans how will that effect players like JPM, will they think who gives a fuck, if STFC go down I can put in a transfer request and be gone, or do they think, I'm gonna give it my all and turn this around. If a few go for option A we could be in a shit load of trouble.
I think one of the reasons why the scum have fallen so far. is that their fans are quick to get on players backs....this leads to the situation as you point out JA, where players stop playing and look to get out. One of the recurring mantras on the scum site is their morons can't figure out why these same players on leaving then seem to do well at their new clubs.
I always thought STFC fans were above this sort of thing, unless driven to extremes.
We may be a bit crap right now, but things are 100% better than what they might have been....I noticed Rufus Brevitt is now number 2 at Bedfont Town. A Little less than a year ago it was quite likely he'd have become our manager on Sturrock's departure.
It's quite understandable having a bit of a moan in the pub after a shit performance, but some just go on and on....FFS get a life....all this negativity damages you as well as the club.
