I must admit that watching any team (any sport for that matter) can be very frustrating at times (just try following Stockport County week in and week out).

The times I've said "I'm not going to pay to watch that cr@p again!

It's natural to be disappointed when things go wrong.

I really believe that all the "hype" in the press and in RL/SL about young Myler has had a very unsettling effect on the team and throughout our club.

You only have to read some of the comments from our own fans on this very forum to realise that the "who needs Myler anyway" brigade are very bitter.

I suppose we are victims of our own success when it comes to bringing on great youngsters: and let's not forget that the progression of youth was part of the criteria for the franchise.

I like to think of Reds supporters being different from a lot of other supporters in loyalty when ex Reds players retun to The Willows, but some are being less than gracious when it comes to a fantastic young player that has yet to go anywhere.

I really believe that this is the first time in a very long time that SCR has been in this position. The only other time that we have lost "big name players" is when we have been relegated. It's totally different scenario.

It has NEVER been any different when it comes to the so called big clubs pitching in for youngsters with (apparent) talent.

I believe that we have to get into the whole mind set that SL requires and it's great for once not having to look down the barrel and try to avoid relegation

If he goes to Wire, ok - all the best RM, and if he stays ,it just leaves us with a fantastic "problem"

Who would be a coach?

Does anyone know the name of that touch judge who looks like ginger chuckle brother and is never off the TV ? Better still if anyone could send me an image. I'm working on an idea.

I agree that constant abuse of players is wrong and we need to stay behind them, but 20k to 100k a year for what 10 mins of abuse by a small minority once a week ....im in the wrong job

Butchersdad,I think it may be Tony Martin, from Oldham Referees Society

Bl00dy hell a comment on the state of the country as well as fans in the stands, I couldn’t agree with you more!

Anyway I’m always wetting myself when I hear City fans calling for the managers head and saying how all their players are etc. every time they lose a game, and how at the start of every season they are going to win the league. Does this sound familiar to anyone in the shed? All the people who stood shouting abuse on Friday night think back to the last times you watched a game when you dint shout abuse at your own players. Saints at home? You went the whole game without slagging a Salford player off? I don’t think so. Sack everyone players, staff, coach and owner. What will you have to complain about then? I’m sure you’ll have lots, probably why did we sack players, staff, coach and owner!

the players were all world beaters 2 weeks ago and the coach was doing a great job! fickle fans

Whilst fans abusing players is wrong it is something that will not go away and instead of the numerous posts on here calling these fans and saying the club doesnt need them, maybe people should be asking and especially the club,

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
WHY ARE ATTENDENCES RUBBISH?
WHY ARE FANS FRUSTRATED?

The simple answer is the Untouchables at the club Mr Wilkinson and his cronies have made so many promises and predictions as to our club competing, spending salry caps, moving stadiums, signing big players, moving heaven and earth to keep Myler etc etc etc. That when it doesnt happen and the fans turn up and see the dross that we have seen this season and past seasons they are going to get annoyed.

As to saying fans who call the team are not proper fans. Without these "not proper fans" spending their money, where will the club be because all i ever hear from the club on here is the club crying poverty. Whether you think they are proper fans or not you need them to keep turning up and keeping this club going.

I dont hurl abuse or throw beer, because i think its wrong. But i also think that to blindly live and not question what its obviously wrong, like so many posts on here is short sited. As to BBM feeling sorry for Wilkinson and Clegg, they are quick to salute the shed and take the plaudits when the team has won, so what does that say the palyers win with Wilky but lose on their own?

I am sick and tired of the lack of ambition at the club and hearing the same rubbish coming out. As to sacking McCrae what will that achieve? in the twenty five years of watching the club i have seen numerous coaches come and go, no success, no glimpses of success, maybe you should be looking elsewhere to blame.

Yes i am ed off and i am sure i will get people having a go back well bring it and lets sort this club out.

great post

I always stand in the shed, and on friday night I was ashamed, the fat w a n k e r, with the walking stick always shouts abuse at players, and theres a few at the bottom of the shed who r always shouting abuse, people just stand about talking rather than watch the game and this is what annoys me.

Saying that tho when we played well against saints the fans got behind them, sio its abit of give n take really. I just kept quiet when Myler came off coz I couldnt really boo or clap him, coz I think hes startin 2 do a coley n lack commitment, although i think a half botherd myler is still beta than smith.

One last thing Leuleui came off the pitch after a brilliant 20 mins and them pr i cks at the bottom of the shed were still hurling abuse at him.

Its a joke and its gutting to see

Hi Shirley, whilst I agree with most of you're post regards to the abuse, and for mine the treatment of Myler was way out of order. He's a young kid for Christ sake, those fans should get a grip, morons! I hope he does sign for Warrington and rips us to shreds next year because of those idiots



Anyway back to the quote - Who cares less whether John & Howard walk across the pitch? Its cringe worthy, 9 times out of 10 they only do it when we win, the other occasions, when we lose, they don't come across and we assume they use a secret tunnel to get out of the stadium

Wilky only does it for his brief spot of adulation, always has. I don't recall any other chairman doing it at any other club. Believe you me, its more embarrassing than him taking abuse, if he doesn't like it he should stop coming over when we win too.

The abuse players received was diiabolical. How can we expect the likes of Myler to stay when he is abused like that. Ok he had a bad game but didnt deeserve that sort of treatment and by the way [uHE HASNT SIGNED FOR [/u[uWIRE[/u , so until it is officially announced he is one of our own and we shoud stick by him. Also I may lose credibilty here but I dont think Smith is as bad as everybody makin out. Actually think he is trying too hard

Alan also thinks the same, Smith has been an international & you dont get picked to play for your country if you are crap, ok he is having a bad time for whatever reason,could name plenty who came with big wraps & are only just settling(King, Monaghan, Richards) all have taken time to settle in. Maybe he needs a spell on the bench, possibly drop Robbie as he is going anyway, play Stef with Richie & bring Smith on as interchange for Malc, Jeremy said at F/Rs that he enjoys playing hooker when he has covered that spot. But as you say R.J. he is trying too hard at the moment.

i know this is totally off your subject but just in reference to your free ticket quote, just how many does your club give out as we parked in a car park next to a church come pub on friday night and we had no fewer than 10 salford fans come trying to sell us tickets for the game and these guys had some real wads of these tickets, we would have bought some from them as they were only £10.00 but we had pre booked them so as you would imagine we were well pi$$ed, but to get back to my point if you cut the free tickets out you might get rid of some of the nobbs that were stading in your side stand.

Fans get frustrated and feel the need to vent. I don't have a problem with fans telling the players to give supportive abuse



As someone stood behind me said we have a number of "mongs" why they throw beer at McGillivary a player trying very hard and at that point the only try scoreer I'll never know.

The rugby on display both both teams was of a low standard, the game seemed to go on forever. My husband who was unable to go to the game phoned me I told him that the less crap team would win.

As for Myler, yes he maybe 19 but this situation is of his own making, contrast his situation to Adamson who conducted his contract talks in private. Offiah is both their agents. This is another Coley/Robbo.

Fans should get behind the team but the brand of play makes it difficult. Ban anyone who throws such on the pitch. At the Catalan game last night someone threw a shoe at Ganson (understandable) the crowd all pointed him out and he was ejected. This is what should happen at Salford, not protection.

I can't see that happening, it's a societal difference.

I'm more interested to know if he got his shoe back, or he got thrown out and had to go home with one shoe on or indeed he took a spare shoe to the game in anticipation? Can anyone confirm?

Was it the same guy who threw his sandle at George W. Bush?

That had crossed my mind too. I suppose once you get into shoe throwing you really need to identify two targets first to make it worthwhile. Though I still maintain the hard core shoe throwers will always have a couple of spares on them anyway.

I know that is quite funny but does this mean cantalans home crowd are becoming a bit dodgy and catalan should be punished?, i mean we got a right shoeing of the RFL for 1 little bottle what will they get i wonder?

Its all a load of cobblers, the`ll have the foot thrown at them for that.

I think it was only one, sole person who chucked the shoe at Catalans last night...still, heel be getting a long ban no doubt...I wonder how the RFL and SL can dis-suede people from chucking stuff on the pitch???

no but salford made him an offer which would of made him the higest paid player in salfords history around the 100,000 mark and he turnd it down so i dont think its rocket science to see that he is on his way owt if that is to warrington, wigan, saints or any other club only time will tell

let him ROT in the resevers i say!!!!

I saw the guy and could have stopped him, but eyelet him do it.

I believe he was a fan of the French club ... think his name was Phillippe Filop.

It's a good job the footwear didn't land on the pitch, it could have been a bit slipper-y for the players...it certainly got tongues wagging in the sky sports studio...cant wait for boots n all on wednesday now!!
