I never abuse players, just shake my head and wear under my breath when something goes wrong. Yes he's supposed to be professional, but there are certain "fans" that just can't wait to moan, and personally he's fine to do what he did. If you dish it out, then be prepared to take it. You wouldn't abuse him on the street, so why is it ok to go it on a football pitch, ah yes,bbecause they can't do anything about it.
The idea that fans need a boo boy is raspberrys though. Players that under perform or make basic errors get stick from the crowd. T'was ever thus.
This season it's easier to identify players that have played up to standard than those that haven't.
But at Mansfield large sections of support hammer one particular player at a time... The whole team was under performing for months but it was always Logan's fault despite him arguably being player of the season for some of the stops he made
Whereas it doesn’t make it right, it’s hardly like mansfield fans are on their own though is it? The england no1 keeper is getting belted by Everton fans for his mistakes, Chelsea have a £72m keeper who is on the bench for the mistakes he’s made.
The unfortunate thing with GKs is their mistakes are always much more likely to be highlighted as it would normally lead to a goal. To state he was getting stick because the crowd randomly decided to pick on him as a boo boy is ridiculous. Though given how ridiculous it is I assume that’s not your suggestion
