    That's the difference between a fan and a supporter.

    Fans are fickle folk and plenty of examples of these fickle type on here

    Supporters are there for the long haul and through think and thin.

    All the teams I support in various sports - Sydney Roosters/ Richmond Tigers (AFL) . Nottingham Forest (EPL) , Atlanta Braves (MLB) and New England Patriots (NFL) - Have been down the bottom/ In lower Leagues(Nottingham Forest) / In the Middle and at the Top and no matter what I have always stuck with them - Through Thick or Thin as I mentioned

    Sadly, in today's world, people lack any patience whatsoever and only want immediate results, as they have been brought up on instantaneous access in the tech age.

    Unrealistic to believe a team can and will win every game they play though no matter what the team sport is.

      I have to disagree, in my view a true fan looks at the team honestly and not through rose coloured glasses as this is the only way to find a solution if team is not performing to their best ability. I still watch every game and hope they will win but the problems have been obvious for so long and something has to be done about it and so it is incumbent on the fans to not only voice their frustration but to express what they believe needs to be done to improve the team.

        I did and it makes for very depressing reading given the amount of money the club spends on some of the players.

            Mate 50 odd years as a fan and supporter. Thick and thin. I reckon that gives me the right to call out the coach, players or anyone else. Unlike you I expect to win every game. Expecting to lose is for people like you.

              Travelling 3hr return trip to every home game with my family plus attending numerous other games classifies me as a supporter old mate. Paying for gold family memberships , numerous jerseys and merchandise every year, playing juniors for the Roosters etc etc etc....I think I can have an opinion as a supporter on the shit show our club has become

                I’d have Jack in the trenches with me. He’s loyal even when everyone else can see his mate is a complete and utter dribbling nutcase.

                  The word you're looking for is 'thick'.

                  The other words are not proper nouns - capitalisation is not necessary. You're also missing a full-stop at the end of the sentence and your spacing and commas require more work.
                  1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
                  1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

                    For whatever reason, This season seems a write off to me. Blood the youngsters. No need to play Suaallii, nothing personal. Plan for the future. I hate the term, but let's 'rebuild' for the future. And get a hard tackling centre in the mould of C. Mortimer, Ron Gibbs, Mattai or Lattrell in the process. Our outside backs defence is awful. Defence STILL wins premierships. Look at Riff the past 3 years. It's a truism from Vince Lombardi, Bear Bryant, Jack Gibson and Wayne Bennett no matter what the rule changes.

Maybe it’s time Robbo really let’s rip into his team, or is it that the players stopped listening to him?
                      Bellamy has always had that in him. The players would see right through Robbo if he tried that on them.

                          He kind of reminds me of Paul Hogan. Not the bellyaching, just similar features.

                              That’s a supporter and a fan in my book.
