Milan’s performance seemed to leave even Maldini and
Giampaolo searching for words to describe it. Not at all comforting to the
fans, who in recent Milan form, have completely abused, attacked, and or
abandoned the club they claim to love. Milan’s performance was terrible, but
the behavior of the fans is so very much worse. Especially you, Curva. It’s
simply indescribable.
Leao's first goal celebrated by Milan fans gone missing |
People who watch even most of the games and just spout obscenities about their players on Twitter tell me they are justified in acting this way. NO. I have watched every single Milan game, including friendlies, and written previews and reviews of every single match for eight and a half years. I have recorded and edited podcasts, spent countless hours of my life on analyzing and talking about Milan. I have done it all, religiously, through whatever life threw at me. If anyone “deserves” to abuse their team, it’s me.
But I don’t. Why? Because I’m a fan. A supporter of
Milan. Not an abuser or attacker or abandoner, I’m a supporter. Do you
remember what that means? “In good times and in bad.” Anything less than
that, and I’m pulling your fan card.
Gigio's amazing penalty save lost in insults from "fans" |
It’s a shame, because this team needs us now more than ever.
I would tell you about this match, but seriously, you people have already formed
your opinions on the opinions of fools, I’m not wasting my time on you
ungrateful “fans.”
A shame Giocomelli couldn't card all of the "fans" who took out their own team studs up |
Unfortunately, the one piece that is most needed at a time
like this is the fans. That is where
Milan are lacking most. I’ve followed this team for longer than some of you
have been alive, I absolutely know the pain. But I also know that I did not
sign up to be a fan only to turn on them when they needed my support the most. The
fact that you think this is okay is indescribable.
