Cooper impressed with Louis’ reaction
           
           


  LOUIS Thompson’s impressive second-half performance against Wolves on Tuesday night was inspired by abuse he received from a minority of the Swindon Town faithful, boss Mark Cooper has revealed.

Only Swindon fans could abuse a player warming up during the half time interval

Abusing one our better performers is a new low even for the more moronic sections of our fanbase.

...And aim it towards one of our most honest players as well.

Conspiracy theory in the comments too!

I'm not even remotely surprised. My dad used to tell me that one guy once shouted at Duncan Shearer, "You're useless Shearer, all you do is score".

Is it the one about chemtrails?

Abusing a young player who gives it everything and came through our own youth system says it all. Absolute fucking cunts.
Pook got stick all the time. Macklin another one I remember getting it too.
Those who do that aint fans. They need a fucking good slap

Macklin got it on his debut at home, after about 3 minutes.

Totally agree with you, hope Louis realises it's only a minority.

Anyone know what was said?
I can't understand how a lad who is having a very good season could get abuse. This really does plumb new depths imo

 :nod:

I'm feeling increasingly disconnected from STFC and it's the 'fans' that are to blame. What utter fucking idiots.

If our own fans abuse one of our best upcoming talents who has been also one of our most consistant performers on the pitch of late then theres no hope, these idiots should not be allowed anywhere near the ground on matchdays.

I do despair.

This!

Sadly reading that doesn't surprise me in the slightest, there are some right simpletons that go and watch Swindon.

(I'm sure its the same up and down the country at football grounds that said)

IF true then despicable, I have my doubts though.

Was this aimed at Louis or if it did happen was it aimed at the squad as a whole?  I never heard anything from the DRS.

Why would Cooper make it up?

HE'S PART OF THE CONSPIRACY

Now it all makes sense......

I too struggle to believe this is true. I can't believe abuse was aimed specifically at Louis. arriba's suggestion is spot on.
Louis will be a very inportant part of this club for a long time...subject to the usual caveat of being sold etc.

I once heard a barely audible grown when he misplaced a pass. Our fans are monsters.

Groan.

monster .

Some of our fans can't even use predictive text. Neanderthal shin

He may not have made it up, he may be mistaken. Heard something he THOUGHT was said or someone saying something to another player.

It could be true though.

If he was abused ( allegedly ) while warming up surely would be in front of the arkells.
And usually between dugout and bank
 :hmmm:

Very few town fans in that area

So does anyone ever tell the retards to shut up? I sometimes do, and none of them have hit me yet.

I usually shout sarcastic and belittling comments at top volume designed to make them feel stupid. I haven't been hit yet either.

I'm guessing they're too stupid to recognise the sarcasm.

Too afraid of that beard.

Was probably motormouth mk 2, he talks some absolute shit and seems dull enough to do something like this.
