If you don’t want to SUPPORT the team, don’t bother turning up.

I don’t often post on here, but I almost had an argument with a fella sat behind me today. He spent the whole match, from minute 1 to minute 80, verbally abusing the Saints players, both individually and collectively, and also found time to have a go at Potter too. What is the point of travelling all the way to Hull to do that? I don’t get it!

Yes, some people will no doubt say “well he pays his money so he is entitled to his opinions” but honestly, the crap he was coming out with was ridiculous. How can it be productive when he is shouting abuse at the Saints lads?

Yes, we are off form at the moment.
Yes, we have a number of injuries to players at the moment keeping them out of the team, and we probably have knocks to players on the pitch.
EVERY TEAM GOES THROUGH THESE PATCHES!!!!
But yes, we will come back and start playing more flowing rugby again.

One of his best comments today was when Pryce threw the pass just before half time that went to ground and then led to Hull KR try. His comment was “That’s bloody Potter that is, that’s the coach’s fault.” Hang on a minute – was Potter on the pitch throwing the pass? NO. Was Potter on the sideline telling Pryce to throw the pass? NO! It was a mistake – a split second decision that could have led to a try but it went wrong. And yet still this fella rambled on about it being Potter’s fault. I suppose when this bloke makes a mistake when driving his car, he blames it on the driving instructor who taught him to drive 20 years ago??!! What an absolute prat this fella was.

If you don’t want to SUPPORT your team, don’t bloody bother turning up.
They need our support right now – not people shouting abuse at them.

Rant over – COME ON YOU SAINTS!

Hey, burnleydave ..... being a Fax fan I remember (when we were good in the 90s) going to Knowsley Road and standing at the half way line waiting to see which way we played. At the kick off, we kicked off and there were cries of dispair as the scouse "fans" behind us shreeked "Loooook ..... that was offside at the KO ... Yorkshire bastads, the ref's a f******g cheat! W*****S!!! T**T!" .... And so it went on ...... Ever since then I really have had the lowest respect for the scousers. Terrible "fans". Moan moan moan moan moan. Funny how certain things mould one's thoughts eh?

There are people like this at every match in every sport. Even golf given some of the comments I've heard today on Sky.

They are normally really gobby females with really common accents too.

we all have fickle fans there is plenty at wigan just best to ignore them you still got a good side i think it as been stretched a bit with injuries mainly to props that as effected players such as graham leading to is recent dip in form

I think you must've been stood near the bloke who was behind me at the Semi.

Every Saints player was a 'pillock', and (as usual) Meli in particular was on the receiving end of a load of abuse. After he scored his first try, I turned round with a wry smile and this bloke actually looked peeved that he'd scored after he'd given him nowt but stick since kick off.

With support like that, who needs rival speccies?

Must of moulded your brain aswell eh, were do you get this scouse s.h.i.t. from?

You always get them, you're still top of the league!!

Thought your support was excellent today, nice to see so many of you make the trip over, hope you had a good day - apart from the result of course

So do a lot of people from St Helens. Others think quite highly of scousers. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but then you're from Yarkshire.

Their was a guy behind me today who insisted ganson should of gone to the video ref for your first try which he claimed was a forward pass



I wouldn't mind but he's been to every home game this year surely he should;

a) Be aware there's only a video ref at sky games

b) Be aware you can't go to the screen for a forward pass

n*b head

Every club has them unfortunately. Clueless s.

Excellent turn out from you saints fans

Its times like this, when we are struggling a little bit, that the team needs us more than ever and we should be getting behind the lads, trying to give them a lift. You are always going to get people that are slagging players off, we could win the league by 50 points, the Grand Final, the Challenge cup, everything and you would still get people slagging them off. I can understand criticising of players, and at times they deserve it, but some people take it to the extreme and will slag them off no matter the result at the end, we should be getting behind the lads, as knocking them continuously will do no good at all.

Yeah, we're all like that.

But they were offside.

'scousers' Tony fax, get a grip mate. You know nothing about the area then U take it?

Indeed come on the S
Gosh I wish every fan was as perfect as you it must be wonderful to have such a balanced view of everything all the time. Pity the rest of us ordinary mortals.

Eh? My point was just that this bloke criticised from kick off to the end of the match - non stop.

I just don't see that as being constructive at the moment - especially when the players are about 15 metres away after Hull KR had scored and the fella was shouting "You're e" over and over again so they would be able to hear him.

I get pis*ed off just like the next person, but we should be getting behind them right now.

Who were, the scousers ?

agree with you totally, at the giants game last night i knew we would be a little flat, tired both mentally and physically, and wasnt honestly expecting a win. we have had our best season by far in years, 3rd in the league, cup final in 2 weeks and our best points scored in years too. yet some so called fans were slating them at every play!! i for one clapped them off at half time and at full time to show them how much i appreciate what they have achieved already this year compared to the last few seasons! some fans shouldnt bother turning up.

Please stop derailing the thread with your talk of Huddersfield, our fans are having a hard enough time not topping themselves atm as it is, without having to think about your lot

but you mis the key question. Did you win the im a better fan than you d1ck measuring contest or not?

sorry lol, just wish the rest of our "fans" were as appreciative of their efforts this year. good luck for the rest of the year

This from a supporter of the club whose fans couldn't even be d to turn up in sufficient numbers to stop their club going bankrupt. Even when they just needed to generate a half decent crowd to one game just to keep them afloat they still didn't show up. How embarrassing for the club to have to appeal to fans of other clubs to come along and pay their money for Fax to stay afloat when their own fans wouldn't even do it.

Even scousers turned up, ok it was stolen money i paid with to get in, but still turned up to help them stay alive.
