I confess I too had been reading the game day threads on the main board and it's pleasing to see it's just a couple of Hawks supporters who can't let it go.I used to spend a lot of time on the HTB looking for answers, it was like having a sore tooth - what was the latest, what were people saying? Then towards the end of last year I stopped, realising there was nothing new to be learned. The outrageous statements about the players and the club stopped bothering me (mostly).
However I confess that since we have been winning I have actively sought out game day threads on the main board where some egregiously hateful comments are being made, and they now make me smile.
I have moved from hurt and disbelief, to uneasy acceptance, and am now in the pleasure zone - long may it last!
Winning is a powerful panacea.
Is it because all the asaga s**t took the attention off their premierships (if so * em)
It's not just about winning to me it's about watching the post match interviews. Listening to Ben Howlett and Brent Stanton last night brought a tear to my eye.
