Outback Ozzy - JC can handle the insults, it was harder for me to take as I felt that the abuse was directed at my family - and that it was uncalled for.
I registered on the HUFC forum and made a post under "True Supporters".
It was encouraging to get some support from Hereford fans - but it is evident that ill feeling exists from some supporters who base their opinion on what they see or hear (sometimes via a third party). There are "unofficial" interviews which can often add a particular bias - and this can often inflame a situation for those who do not have the full picture.
It is interesting to note that the post has had over 500 views. One guy responded by giving 3 links to BBC reports which attempt to give some justification to his argument. The fact that in all 3 - JC had very real reasons to feel aggrieved illustrate my point that the game really is all about opinion.
