It’s a shame that we have to talk about “fan hate”, isn’t it? Anyone who writes here or anywhere else about our players in a way that can be described as “hate” isn’t a fan at all and should go elsewhere.
I was a strong critic of Jackson last season. We are entitled to do so. I didn’t use any hateful language. I’ve always wanted he best for him, that he would score a hat trick every week! I was frustrated by the important missed chances but that was all.
Now, I fully accept that there is a marked improvement since then. His goal on Saturday was quality and, equally important, he managed to keep out of the referee’s ear!
To repeat my main point, though. No true fan should ever be so gormless as to use “hateful” language towards our players. Criticise by all means but try to be constructive, too.
