As El Presidente says we've always had one.
Irrespective of the squad, the standard we played, etc, Brighton fans (I don't know if it's a football wide thing) have always needed a player to get on the back off.
I'm part of the bottom wrung of the ladder, that being the audible Gardener groan...
Ok in the spirit of the point being made, I shall own my tiresome look at me rant, and accept the fact it's OTT.
The point I should have made, and it is there between getting carried away, is 'why doesn't that happen?'.
Why should posters have to be outed our go quiet.
Why can't those that...
Maybe I'm overstating it.

It's a knobby message board, for knobby people to be loud, and knobby, if they so wish.
It doesn't matter when you're loud...

Ohhh someone's got a high opinion of themselves.
Do you really think Ashley Barnes makes career, financial and family decisions based on the opinions of a percentage of Albion supporters.
He's now earning more money, playing in a higher division, and probably on the receiving end of a decent...
I did have a chuckle at the 'previous highlights' footage v Reading, on Boxing Day.
