Coley1957 - this was exactly the point I was making, neither rose to the bait, in fact when Hereford fans sang stand up if you hate Coleman - JC stood up. I thought he handled the taunting and abuse with aplomb. There was absolutely no need for that amount of personal abuse. And the Mkandawire incident for the Southport penalty must have left them bemused, I know it did me.

I'd love to have us win the league at the Interlink but, if it comes to Morecambe v Hereford on 4 April, then it's going to be quite a night. Winning it in front of the Bulls (and Morecambe) will be very pleasing, especially if Coley and the team are in the crowd with us.

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.

I really wouldnt give 2 poos about it if I was you - it was Herefords cup final and the behaviour of some of their 'fans' blatently showed that fact, especially being 2 down at home - thats no form for going up is it?? From the reports Ive heard, the management handled themselves excellently in very difficult and unnecessary conditions at Hereford coz we went there and did a job on em - full credit to JC, JB and PC. Sore losers, sour grapes, JEALOUSY is about the sum of it all really - yes, very much like Barrow fans were at the time in that respect... Just move on (Stanley are and they arent and thats what they dont like) and take it with a pinch of salt if you can - the more educated of us know the real score...
Keep the faith - be Red, be proud... Football league is a-coming at last and JC and JB are totally responsible for that and Im so pleased for them
