To be honest, the abuse Scowy used to get was probably worse than anything now. A large chunk of the North had a serious issue with him in the team ahead of Mathie. | |

Clearly hasn't lived up to it. He was decent at Wolves away earlier in the season, just feel like he's about 1 second behind player which has led to some horribly clumsy challenges. Hasn't deserved the abuse he's received, but I think people dislike what he's seen to represent. Which is Mick player his older 'top pros' and stifling our already uncreative midfield. MM also often goes overboard when defending players too, remember when he came out around October and said JD could solve our goalscoring drought? | |

Funny how everyone who "knows football" didn't see this mess coming. | |

Not sure, think the Scowy stuff was a bit of a low and not heard of that happening anywhere else. Think the Douglas stuff has been somewhat over the top but is probably down to the general malaise as much as his own performances. Tony Kinsella has told some less than pleasant tales of being a young player at Millwall in the late 70s/early 80s and what flew in his direction coming off the field at half-time, however. | | | |

Not heard of that anywhere else? Lord, I imagine it's happened at every club in the country at some point or another. It takes a lot to get the Town crowd worked up about anything. Barring a few nasty flashpoints we're like docile sheep. Or zombies as it's been put. | |

Have to say I've never heard of a young player being given that sort of treatment anywhere else. Wasn't really treated as 'one of our own', to coin the cliche. | | | |

You may well be right, a while back now. Unsurprisingly had an effect on the player but fortunately not long-term and he was the Supporters Player of the Year in the promotion season. | | | |

I've been quite consistent in the last few years in my concerns about Town's place in the world — but do carry on. | |
