Absolutely right - some of the posts on here recently have been well over the top - we can all criticise and disagree but to resort to vile personal abuse is never justified and completely counter productive - perhaps some people think it's funny to refer to "the slug" -certainly doesn't make me laugh or have any respect whatever for those who do it.
i'm not arsed if i go home or away or not at all, the personal abuse you gave to sean mcrae is unwarranted!
you could be a leeds fan, and i would say the same if you abused someone like you did!
i hope you are man enough to apologise to his face.

Dear Callum.......
a lot of the posters, have been going 'home and away' for some 40+ years, just like me.
We've seen it all in that space of time..............from the finest side never to win a major trophy, to heartbreaking semi-final defeats, fantastic 'against all odds wins', and yes, rugby just as poor as you are witnessing at the moment.
It's all part of being a Salford fan.
Don't expect too much, even IF your still going 'home and away' 20 odd years from now. It just might never happen.
I'll forgive your rant, as I want us all to pull together, whatever the outcome.
Just a word of warning though, personal abuse will not be forgiven if it persists, because the truly loyal Salford fans are totally sick to death of it. It's not helping one bit.
So, either put up with what you get from our beloved club, or, give up following Salford.
BTW, I'm 48 years old tomorrow, so you can imagine just how fed up I am about it all.
Happy Birthday to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down everyone! What Callumisared has done is wrong, to abuse the coach the way he did and then post about it is utterly stupid.
I remember when i was 18 many moons ago and there were plenty times i said and did things under the influence that i regretted in the morning.Young people make mistakes but its how they learn from them that counts. He has come out and apologised and he should apologise to the club and coach as well.(i don't think he abused JW?)At the end of the day he has not Killed,injured or hit anyone and i think the coach will have a lot more things to worry about than what a drunken 18 year old has said! To start to talk of banning people for one mistake is wrong. I think a warning and a stern talking to is much more appropriate.
The club and coach have to except criticism but it must be done in the right way and through the right channels. This is why we should all join Forever reds to discuss things properly.
The young lads who post on here are very passionate about the club and are not the devils that they have been painted out to be. They all should be encouraged to show that passion in a more positive way.
Lets not all fall out with each other at this difficult time. We all must get behind the club and the coach till the end of the season. Rant over!

Totally agree lets all be positive about the club we love and have a great Birthday to.
Prestwich Red wrote:Yet again at the end of the game we had so called fans shouting abuse at the players. There are a group who every game stand at the tunnel exit next to the club shop and hurl abuse at all and sundry. You can see the players faces as they walk off they are shocked and dismayed. I am not Smiths biggest fan, but last night he walked off between two players so he could be shielded from the so called fans. Who in their right mind would want to come or stay at the club when your own fans hurl personal abuse at you. I am not happy with things at the club but will these numpties please wake up and realise what they are doing at games is seriously damaging the reputation of Salford.
All that I can say about idiots shouting seriously personal insults is: I'ts a good job that Ian Gormley aint around!
That's if some of this lot even know or remember him.
Some of these so called fans should keep their mouths shut whilst they still work.

Salford won the 2ND DIVISION final against Halifax.The large majority of fans were there for the 1st division final which followed.The 80s and 90s were not particularly good times for Salford,although we did have brief decent spells, and the crowds weren't great either.The last time Salford had a team to compete regularly with the best was the Watkins/Gill/Hesketh etc,era of the early to mid seventies.Believe me,as someone who has watched Salford for well over 40 years,this team is nowhere near the worse I've seen.
Since the 70s all Salford's successes have come at the lower level,2nd division titles,2nd division premiership finals,promotions and play-off finals to Super League.
That's the nature of the club we support.No major title for over 40 years,always struggled in the top division,too good for the lower division.
Salford will only become a "big" club,competing regularly with the best,if they can get more income into the club either through increased attendances,the new stadium,or a Mr Moneybags taking over the club.
In the meantime be thankful we have John Wilky as chairman or we could be like Swinton or Oldham,both former "big" clubs,but now struggling.
