Things we hate about modern football

I do agree with you, i am old enough to have seen players like John Barnes have bananas thrown at him every time he got near the touch line, Its always been there and sadly always will. :angry:
Paul Cannoville at Chelsea (from his own 'supporters'), Clyde Best at West Ham, our own Hughton and Crooks, you are so sadly right...

I recall an England game, v San Marino I think, where he got booed by his own fans and the accepted view was that it was racially motivated. Was absolutely disgusting - I couldn't make sense of it even then as a 14 or 15 year old who hated Liverpool with a passion.

To be fair, I think the English game is far, far better for that sort of thing these days than most leagues on the continent. When you see some of what goes on in places like Italy and Spain, you do have to scratch your head.

It’s the best in the world but obviously still has scope to improve
We do try to address the issue here
We don’t hide them which is the minimum IMO
I just don’t get anyone’s logic abusing someone for something they can’t control
