[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 557002, member: 175057"] Sorry but what is the point in going if all they want to do is boo, the guy made a mistake, but was then booed every time he touched the ball. Unless I've misunderstood the meaning of the word supporter (and these people were wearing England colours from the what I hear), it just strikes me as infantile and counter productive, fortunately it was a minority at the match, but a substantial one, who think it's a great idea to help the opposing team. I have to say that it wouldn't surprise me if the amount of players "retiring" early from English international football or making themselves unavailable increases in the coming years. Why play (risking injury) for a moronic fickle mob and a hostile, rude press, when they can save their energy for their league team and be properly supported. Don't get me wrong, I think the wages in football have now reached a ridiculous level, but that's another story altogether. [/QUOTE]
