But it's not the definition of being a professional at all. That's rubbish.

You may EXPECT your professionals to be able to rise above it. But who equips them to deal with that? What does being a professional mean they have that they can rise above 20 thousand groans when you misplace a pass? When you KNOW you're going to hear groans if you do something wrong? Why does being paid make the immune from that?

I go back to my question earlier - how many games have you seen live at Carrow Rd recently? Because I can name loads where the crowd has pushed the team on, or made them go into their shells.
