I have a few examples of Players cracking under pressure from targeting them

John Aldridge (Tranmere) - Blew his stack at the mention of his little Tash and spent all game more worried about us hassling him.

David James (Man City) lost it during the 1st half due to being called a Clown with a comedy horn being blown in the infamamous 'Where are you' Game. Again Distracted

Stan Collymore (Notts Forest) lost all confidence at the Barclay End when we offered the suggestion he would never play for England and ran like a Faggot (Oh No - Lock me up for being a Homophobic)

Neil Alexandra (Cardiff) Let in goals galore as we questioned his ability by dstating he was not up this level of football etc - He spent all the half giving us dirty looks.

What I am saying is if you can distract an opposition player then it affects their game greatly.

I have also had the middle finger from,

Robbie Fowler, Steve Finnan due to picking on them - Again more worried about me than defending the corner.

Tribal Rivalry and Anger is what makes a hostile atmosphere - ie when a ref makes a bad decision the ground is on its feet - The atmosphere intensifies.
