Yes that was an entertaining moment, my favorite was the plastic bag that was flying about in front of South stand for about 3 mins, boy it could move.

I am thankful Agar wasn't talking about me. I stayed away last niight. I really have lost my passion and enthusiasm and can think of more entertaining ways of spending my money. After 30 years of support I am struggling to live upto In any kind of weather because I don't have "an unlimited amount of cash for entertainment"
I will still go to games, but until I feel my team give 100% I cannot give them the same commitment.

Any kind of weather means following them come what may. It doesn't mean we do not have the right to get on the back of our team if we feel they are not giving it their all.

I think this problem has been exacerbated by Agar and the board. For the last 3 seasons they've been telling us what a great squad we have, and how we'll be in a position to win things. They have built up false expectations by over hyping average signings and pretending our existing players are competitive. Most fans have swallowed all this excrement for a long time but as they say, you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
In regards to booing our own team, I didn't myself because I had absolutely no expectations going into the game. I see ourselves as the 3rd worst team in the league and I think we play like the 3rd worst side. To expect anymore of this squad and coaching set up would be daft. I don't have a problem with others booing the team and think Agar can only condemn them when he starts paying an admission fee himself.
On the whole, I don't think there was a real lack of effort from the players, just a lack of ideas. I was very impressed with Sam Moa and Calderwood, and I liked Moa's interaction with the crowd at the end. However, even with the new signings next year, we won't have a great deal of improvement in us under this current regime.
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.
Its alright saying that the players need our support but we've being giving that for the last 16weeks which has only seen us beat cas, salford and celtic. Maybe its about time the fans got a little bit of encouragement, or some 'return' for their investment, from the club.

Yep, that seems fair
It may not seem fair, but it's the way it has to be. Regardless of how Agar may feel he shouldn't be publicly slating the fans. It has never done anything but harm and it never will.
There were any number of other ways he could have made a point about support and confidence without slagging off the people who, ATEOTD, pay his wages and the wages of his under-performing squad.
The fact that he couldn't or chose not to do so says volumes about his professionalism and ability to handle pressure.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One
