Just thinking now, what has our sport become?
Think about how absurd this is: a coach getting paid a lot of money for 12 ****ING YEARS, without any success, gets a few boos directed at him by long suffering fans who pay his wage.
This lead to him breaking down in tears the next week and the media protecting the coach by rounding on the fans.
I’ve lived in Europe for a while now and love my soccer. I have been home and away around Sweden and regularly fly over to England.
I’ve seriously lost count of the amount of times fans chant at and taunt opposition coaches (see example below).
But have you ever seen a coach on the end of the chanting break down in tears over it, or even the media have a go at fans? **** no. They know they are answerable to fans first and foremost. And they aren’t massive cowards like Ken Hinkley has proven to be.
Ken Hinkley should be embarrassed by his display yesterday, not protected by the media. A grown man crying over a few boos? Give me a break.
The charlatan deserves a lot more than a sprinkling of boos and I hope he gets it.
Looking at this shit being directed at Port fans over this absolutely ridiculous coach, I believe we as footy fans have lost our sport.
It’s a ****ing sad state of affairs what it has become.
