And his tweet is calling fans bell ends including the ones that make death threats. Are the fans who tell them they're not good enough bell ends? Are the fans that shout "you're not fit to wear the shirt" bell ends? Fan's who have travelled for hours and feel let down.

Death threats have no place and are cowardice, but if you refer to all fans giving "abuse" as bell ends, without defining it, you're not going to go down very well.

As a poster above said, show it on the pitch and report death threats and similar ilk to those who should take action.

Read his tweets again. He doesn’t lump all the fans in one.

“ Thanks to the loyal fans still turnin up & backin us, we need use now more than we ever have.”

“ As for the handful of ends giving lads all sorts of including some telling lads to die.”

Read my post again. Lumping every fan who wasn't "backin us" and "giving lads all sorts" into the bracket of the tits giving death threats isn't the best approach IMHO.

"use"

Is this the Liverpudlian 2nd person informal plural like vous / vosotros / y'all?

If the tweet being referred to was the one I saw yesterday, the bit I took umbrage to was referring to grafting getting us out of it.

Thats the problem, there's zero grafting going on and the reason we're getting on at them is it seems there's zero intention of doing any grafting.

Now unhappiness with the coach or not, personal loving pride should have each individual player saying, 'I'm not gonna look a lover, 'I'm gonna make my tackles'

They're not,(with a small number of exceptions)

This is why I can't understand why nobody seems to be venting at his teammates, a few of them must care and know that some of their colleagues are letting them down quite badly. There should be a few players on the pitch demanding better from their teammates and there just isn't, where are the leaders in this group? How can any professional accept shocking performances and not be visibly frustrated by it all by this point? I don't get it at all.

If it's the leaders in the group not pulling their weight then there is no other option but to drop them. DP must know who they are, the guy comes across as intelligent.

Dismal, isn't it? I mean, nobody expects the average rugby league player to be comfortable engaging in spirited debate with Professor Brian Cox about the characteristics of supermassive black holes, for example. However, if Danny's tweet is any indication of the squad's general level of intellect, then maybe it's no surprise that they are failing to grasp Powell's new methods. Perhaps they are pining for the simpler, halcyon days of their erstwhile monosyllabic mentor Mr Price?

Must admit I inferred from the post that he has identified a group of fans who are not backing them and giving them all sorts and calling for them to not support them again and this group includes those that issued death threats. Ergo "if you ain't backing us clear off".

Well, he should remember that there are many thousands of fans that have supported Warrington since before he and the "lads" were born and will continue to support Warrington after they are retired. They will decide if they continue their support. Owners, players, coaches are all temporary. Perhaps that is part of the problem - they think it is all about them.

He would be better advised to direct his poorly constructed missive towards his teammates.

This post in no way condones the death threats.

Sums it up in a nutshell, no way will I condone death threats no matter how much you may dislike some. Got to laugh the many disagreements I’ve seen on here over the years we could all be dead. But yes as fans there is a level of performance we will not put up with and we have the right to vent it just as much as owners, coaches etc.
