It pi$$es me off too. If you want to talk about players and your opinions surely after the match is the time to do it. It brings me back to that thread I wrote a few weeks back about the guy in front of me who stays seated when we score and seems unable to spout anything other than criticism.
These people have forgotten how to support, if they even knew in the first place. From my time as a teacher it was always the kids that you encouraged and supported that did the best. Even the 'bad' kid in the class was capable with the right type of support. Pulling people down and being negative serves no purpose...and it probably went a long way to desroying some of the confidence we had built on Saturday.
For those who need a little help:-
support
Synonyms: support, uphold, back, 1advocate, champion
These verbs mean to give aid or encouragement to a person or cause. Support is the most general: “the policy of Cromwell, who supported the growing power of France against the declining power of Spain” (William E.H. Lecky). To uphold is to maintain or affirm in the face of a challenge or strong opposition: “The Declaration of Right upheld the principle of hereditary monarchy” (Edmund Burke). Back suggests material or moral support intended to contribute to or assure success[/i]
