This is aimed at the moaners who go to the games and start the abuse as soon as the game kicks off and also those who have now decided to inundate United Live with their non stop whinging..
For 40+ years I have supported United both home and away when possible,sure there have been bad performances/players and managers but at the end of the day United are my team and you cannot win every game even though we want them too..
How many of you would like it if once (or twice) a week I stood near you for 90 minutes and gave you nothing but grief while you did your job?? Would you be able to perform to the standard your boss expects of you?? I doubt it..
I have walked (9 miles) to watch United games in the past,cycled,scrounged lifts of neighbours and friends,rushed out the game with minutes to go to catch the last train on a wednesday night and then still had three miles to walk home in the dark,all this to support the team I love..
Yeah I have moaned at times,a misplaced pass,a pass when a shot was on but lets face it,if WE could do better we would be wearing the shirt,just think where we were before DN stepped in and saved the club,dark days which I never want us to return to by overstretching our budget to get big names to get results..I am almost 50 and I don't mind admitting that the day DN stepped on the pitch to announce our club had been saved brought tears to my eyes,I went to the game fearing it would be the last time I would see my team play but we were saved..
I know TT gets berated on here but just think what he did in the two weeks he was in charge before the season started,he got us a team together and attractive football was played (all right it didn't last) but from being low the whole town had a buzz again...
When I read all the moaning comments on here/facebook and United live it makes my blood boil,through a birth defect with my spine I am out of work and cannot afford to watch United so Craig's live service is the next best thing.To all those of you with season tickets and the others who can afford to go regularly but insist on moaning,think about those of us who would love to be there but cannot be and would CHEER instead of JEER the players on,as I said earlier would you want someone hurling abuse at you for 90 minutes?
One final point,most of the moaners want new faces bringing in,well put yourself in their boots,you hear of United's interest and maybe you know someone who played or plays at YS,you ask them what it like and you get told that all you hear is moaning and abuse,would you sign
Get off the players back,cheer them on and you never know the outcome...
