Sorry nick, but that just doesn't wash.
They want to be pro footballers, so should know - pro footballers have been around for a long time - that there are bad and good times, grief and praise.
I know of loads of kids that would love nothing more than to pull on the Saints shirt and play for SFC, the fact is that most of them just aren't good enough, should we lead them into a false sense of security by trying to molly coddle them and tell them that one day they might make it??
Times are tough, the team is playing utter sh1t football, and we even have the head coach stating publicly that the players are not doing what they are asked to do out on the pitch, but somehow you still want us to show our undying love and gratitude towards them!!
You're getting close to scooby in the delusional stakes at the moment.
