What's this one about? Is it general comments around social media or did one of the players do something? |
Bed sheet up to his usual antics, contributing to, and whipping up, general hysteria around a player out of form, forgetting that he’s an above average championship player who has played a key role in our previous promotions and will do again. Form is temporary, he needs support not digging out. Ignore the hate. |  | | |

Obviously comments made about a player from idiot fans brave on a keyboard |  | | |

Actually, I rather think that Sartre would have said 'Au football, tout est compliqué par la présence de l'équipe adverse.' actually... |
I came across this.
In fact, in a football match, everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team.

I can't find the French original but here's a link to an English translation and it seems to me that McKenna incorporates some of Sartre's philosophy in his methods. Maybe our current issues are due to the fact that the players and spectators don't understand it

Take this extract.
In the case of a football
team, the action of every player is predetermined as an indefinite
possibility by function, that is to say, in relation to a future objective
which can realise itself only through an organised multiplicity of tech
nical activities. Thus, function is for every member a relation to the
objective as a totality to be totalised. In the match, every common
individual will, in the light of the group's objective, effect a practical
synthesis (orientation, schematic determination of possibilities, of
difficulties, etc.) of the field in its present particularities (mud, perhaps,
or wind, etc.); in this way, he tries to make himself generally prepared
for the specific characteristics of the match. But he will realise this
practical synthesis - which, ultimately, is a kind of mapping, a sort of
totalising survey - not only for the group and on the basis of the
group's objective but also on the basis of his own position, that is to
say, in this case, of his function. From the moment when the real
struggle begins, his individual actions (though they require initiative,
daring, skill and speed, as well as discipline) no longer appear meaning
ful apart from those of the other members of his team (in so far, of
course, as each team is also defined by the other) - not only in the
abstract, in so far as each function presupposes the organisation of all
functions, but also in the very contingency of the concrete, in so far as
a particular player's slip or clumsiness at a particular point strictly
conditions the movement of another player (or, of all the others) and
gives it a teleological meaning which can be understood by the other
players (and, though this is incidental here, by the spectators). [Post edited 19 Feb 17:17]

Argh, not only a citation but then an explication. I can only do what I can to accept defeat graciously, well played.
As an aside, if on every occasion that Town lost the players had to write that extract out fifty times do you think that Hirst would be less isolated and also find his shooting boots ? |  |

Been a lot of nasty stuff towards Hirst lately on Twitter. Which he would/could see without looking too hard.
Stuart Watson was the one that asked the question, he did a story/spoke about the abuse of players so was following that up with the question really. |  |
