Is it an age thing....

In many ways I dont blame our current crop for not feeling a great affinity with the club, most have been here under 2 years

Lets be honest here, its not like present day STFC is the type of place where after 6 months you decide "Right, this is the place for me for the next 5 years.  Whats that Bob? My wages are late again? never mind"

most dont care for the club at all.

Being a footballer used to more than just a job, not its just a regular job.

Footballers in general dont do the job because they enjoy it, but because they are good at it! I know of a player we've had recently who hated football, didnt like it at all - never watched it as a kid - played it a bit and just happened to be good at it!!

Most of the players seem to think and act like they are above the fans and some what minor celebrities. The only community work they seem to do appears to be heavily forced.

however on that note, Miglioranzi was the complete opposite

also, I think Phil Smith feels something for this club, much more so than any of the others.

He'd led ourlife, he appriecates it more....

dv, if you're talking about charlie comyn platt in your first message (the player who doesn't like football) then i wish to dispute your statement that he was good at it!

good point, well made...

I fucking hate all footballers-cunts the lot of 'em!Lets face it,would you want to be mates with any of 'em?

Agreed 100%. Particularly when it comes to England. John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard...utterly loathesome.

Have to disagree with you there. Whilst the current crop might not die for the cause, at least they've shown they've got spirit in the last few games. Considering the off-field issues which have now been going on for MONTHS to not throw in the towel at 2-1 down yesterday was pretty impressive. Players who would die for the cause: Aljofree, Peacock, Pook and don't tell me the Beast doesn't care?!
