Reading all these posts- there's some touching and inspiring thoughts. Mysticsdad was great when he said he'd have Shrewsbury Town printed through him like a stick of rock- and only the wrapper is a bit frayed at the moment! I loved that! Lots of us are still hurting- and I can't pretend to imagine what it's like for those of you who have been faithful followers for about 15 or 20 years. (I'm only a recent ACTIVE follower- but then, for most of my life, they've just been there- IN THE LEAGUE! I've taken it for granted.) I also the point that someone made about the lads only being human- and constant criticism won't do their morale any good. So- there MUST be a middle way. Some DO care! (Like Rodgers- and O'Connor, last night- and Darby's coming good.) They should have the praise and appreciation they deserve, bless them! But there IS a mercenary element who'll take their pay and coast along, regardless of what their supporters feel. We should show how much we appreciate the best- AND (I'm sorry for this- it's NOT ladylike!! ) b*****k the rest!!! (Now I feel a bit better!!)

There will always be a mercenary element at any club at any time.It just happens that we have had a few more than most in recent years.You only need to ask fans of Liverpool to see that even Michael Owen has been going through the motions at times this season.

That's true enough! But the Liverpool fans don't half let them know it! I often listen to Football 'Phone In on radio Merseyside on Monday nights, when I'm driving home- and they don't half rant!
I don't know if it makes any difference- they must be very thick-skinned if they KNOW how the fans feel- and don't care.
It's a pity, in that case, that it can't be made to hit them wear it hurts- in their pockets- reduction in pay for every match in which a lack of commitment is shown!
