I was actually otherwise engaged and I missed the whole Twitter furore. I made the mistake of going back to read through it.
The gist of it is that several people (though from names and twitter handles they seem to all sit very close together from what I know) are upset they didn’t get acknowledged by the Devils players after the game. Despite the fact that they did, what they actually meant was they felt entitled to a Bownsy wave and a nod from Lordo.
The level of pathetic whinging by people is so beyond embarrassing as to be concerning. ‘I’ve been a fan since 1986...’ - that’s marvellous. It would have been very difficult for me to support the team then seeing as how I hadn’t been born at that point. Being a long serving fan is entirely and totally irrelevant.
The atmosphere at the arena was, on occasion, a bit flat before and people are putting in physical effort to change that. The players like it. I am sorry to have to inform some people that you having chanted ‘Devils’ four times a game for the last 33 years hasn’t actually made Ben Bowns notice you. You’re just another fan like the rest of us.
If you wish to continue embarrassing yourselves, the club and people who know you by posting stuff publicly criticising a good thing, no problem, but when people call you idiots for it you do not get to be upset.
And the players aren’t your mates to start with, but they certainly won’t be your mates if they see this nonsense, you attention seeking (expletive deleted).
