I present the insight of a random selection of Stoke fans on the match thread today…..
“Bloody hell Allen.
Can’t make a slightly difficult pass.
Fletcher is brainless.
Just pass it into the bottom corner.
Silly stuff.
Wilmot can’t pass the bloody ball.
All a bit ragged
Allen... Jesus Christ.
What a piss poor team we are
Very, very sloppy. Midfield is insipid.
lack of strength and control in our midfield.
Allen and Thompson lack any authority.
We're on the road to nowhere!”
To clarify:
-We’re into the 5th round of the FA cup - We kept a clean sheet -Our new signing scored - We comfortably beat a side that haven’t been beaten in 20 games in all competitions
Some Stoke fans = like my fucking arse

I agree with your point for the most part. However, when Fletcher hit the bar, he probably should have just passed it into the corner (I’m assuming that is what the comment relates to).

Fair point. I actually left a lot out. It’s almost like some fans take a perverse pleasure in us failing.

I really like Fletch but his finishing is bloody frustrating sometimes. Hope I can be excused a bit of passion!

No way, football fans sometimes make critical comments during games? When did this start?

But Allen can’t make a slightly more than difficult pass.
It’s not false is it?

Personally I was very disappointed in Fletcher's billy big balls performance. His failed fancy flick to Tezgel was disgraceful when a simple ball would have put him through, after Tezgels hard work had set it up.
The one blot on a very good day.

To be fair it’s like that in the stadium a lot of times too. Having said that the criticism is fairly relentless on here and when certain players have been picked out it’s like a pack of wolves after their prey. Unpleasant to read to say the least.

Read that match thread and you’d think we got knocked out of the first round of the Autoglass. Instead we comfortably beat a side that hasn’t been beaten in yonks and we’re into the 5th round!

It would be equally possible to post the same number of comments from today's match day thread making us sound like Barcelona

Key word: ‘Sometimes’ For our match day threads replace with: “Persistently” I could go through and make a list of positive comments that's twice as long. Go to the ground and you'll hear the same. A mix of praise and criticism depending on what's happening on the pitch.

It’s almost like some fans take a perverse pleasure in us failing. Like the one starting the thread pointing out we'd dropped to 14th (despite not playing in the league) because Blackpool and Preston had won.

This thread seems a bit errrm, sad. Get a grip, its a match thread and reactionary in its nature.

Haven't read it having been at the game and probably won't to be fair.... 😉 Good call. To be totally fair, the vast majority of people on those threads will be watching on a stream and I know from personal experience, it's a different game to watching live. I'm one of the worst when I watch on a stream and am easily more negative than when I go.

I'm one of the worst when I watch on a stream and am easily more negative than when I go. Perhaps. I’d say a fair few don’t watch at all though. And still lump in with the negative comments.

Presumably all these negative comments were coming from 'fans' not at the match some at least of whom were sitting at home with their keyboard, a list of negative comments ready at hand, listening to a commentary or reading a feed without any idea of what was really happening.
