I have only read the last few posts of this thread as I am sick of the same argument every week.
I have been a bagger of Raph in the past but to infer that my dislike for his football ability has anything to do with race or gutless is offensive. For some reason Raph splits people right down the middle.
I think he has improved greatly in the last 5 weeks or so and I rekon he has a spot in the side.
I am not sure why because someone has an opinion about a player they are gutless. I also thought that Troy Schwarze was a good footballer but not many agreed with me. I never accused them of race hate or attacked their courage I merely disageed.
Go Saints.
as i said...i don't give a rat's if the raph haters are pissed off with my views on them and that includes you.....i am sick to death of hearing him abused at the footy each week and then a new thread bagging him appearing each week......
as Animal Enclosure wrote above.....
"The people that continually slander Raph have very little clue about footy whatsoever.
Just watched the replay before & I am struggling to find where he was so bad.
I will bet my house on none of you weak mongrels saying it to his face.
Pull your overinflated egos in & support the kid. He's a very good footballer who will get seriously good if you support him instead of ringing up SEN or posting on here & trying to make yourself feel like a big man.
It's pathetic & is a very bad reflection on the supporters of this club that get tarred with the same brush thanks to these nuff nuffs.
I know for a fact that Raph is affected significantly by some of the crap that is posted on here. The players do read this stuff.'
...none of you would have the guts to repeat your comments to his face...that makes you gutless....don't like it...then don't bag him....wtf do you have to have a whipping boy.......always some poor player cops it in the neck from supposedly pple who claim to be supporters...supporters my arse...little people with no f****** lives .....who need to feel superior to others by abusing them from the safety of a football crowd or the anonymity of an internet forum.....
..tell you one thing...if i hear a person abuse raph at the footy again this season i will do my utmost to have them thrown out of the ground......saints supporter or not....
the guy sitting next to my wife in bay6 at the weekend abused raph using the foulest of language possible......i didn't hear most of it...as i put my headphones on knowing that i would get into a fight if i allowed myself to be sucked in.......my missus was appalled by this prick's behaviour and only really let me know what was going on after we left the ground......never again will i sit still for boorish behaviour like that....
