Some of the abuse that Hussey got near me during the first half (before he had actually done too much wrong) made me cringe. Shouting abuse at a player in earshot for not doing one thing, contradicting yourself seconds later, resorting to pretty inane insults when he hasn't done too much wrong at that moment in time... I wasn't a fan and parts of it were just embarrassing. People pay their money and they get to express discontent. Top of your voice telling someone how shit they are after fifteen minutes of play is perhaps not the way of invoking a decent performance. There were plenty around just as pissed but handling themself in a different way.
I wasn't a huge fan of all the 'who the fuck are Yeovil' type songs (the first chorus of 'you all look the same' might raise a wry smile, but I was never likely to see that as the focus of my day). They are the team that are holding us at their gaff, the fans who have been friendly enough in pubs, the people we were going into a full season with. If some fans were better equipped to have a laugh, support their team and paint our city in a decent light while they are at it, all the better. I thought the atmosphere was generally a little flat, shame given the numbers and the sunshine. Would perhaps have felt like it was a bit more chirpy if McDonald had stuck that chance away towards the end.
