I have purposely not visited since last weekend because I didn't want to have to wade through another barrage of anti-Shaw crap. But seems as though some of you are intent on saying it over and over.
It becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy - can't you all see that? The more you talk it up, the more the media talk it up the more it becomes a reality. It completely destabilizes the club, the coach and the team.
I don't know the veracity of all the so-called "experts" who are the "inner santum" of the club who wanted to sack Shaw two weeks ago. How do we know if this is just a complete fabrication? But you guys all believe it, you run with it and what's more, you add fuel to the fire.
Shaw gave his heart and soul to the club, the least they can do is stick with him and review his position at the end of the season.
I get so angry with the ugly magpie supporter as Neil put it some weeks ago. You all have very short memories, you live for the present, want instant gratification and look for the easy fix. And, dare I say it, you're all expert coaches! God, with this sort of thinking, Stan Alves would have got the chop six weeks into last season.
Here's what the rational, sensible thing to do is all you guys (and girls): Shut the hell up, support the team like real supporters should, watch carefully and make judgements after the home and away season is over. One more thing (before you all descend on me with vile vitriol) GET A LIFE!
Cheers, Artie.
Floreat Pica- and they will- long after you guys are gone!
