[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 732501, member: 7171"] I understand your explanation but for me it rings way too cynical. Where the explanation seems flawed is the "defacto" claim. To be true TT, his staff and the coaches would be cheering for players to fail. They want them to succeed. All of them. Why wouldn't they? It's purely competitive. May the best player win. As far as observation is concerned, what I have observed is that some forumites formulate an opinion on certain players at some point and nothing can change their minds about them. And if that player starts to show signs of improvement they refuse to acknowledge it even when recent multiple performances would seem to indicate otherwise. They're even outspoken about hoping a player will fail. It's one circumstance where "what have you done lately" doesn't apply (to the negative types). Saving face on a previously outspoken rush to judgment could mean they will root for a player to fail. No thanks to that. [/QUOTE]
