Andy Cook - An apology

[I am Spartacus]

Today, just before kick off I witnessed a new low from a ‘stags fan’. As Andy Cook came out prior to the first team he subjected to abuse, telling him he was ‘Hank’ for want of a better phrase. Cooky stood turned asked what he said and he repeated.

Cooky, despite looking like he would rip this fan a new one, walked away. A few, Big Yella included, apologised to him on behalf of the fans. He was not happy though.

What kind of fan, in the loosest sense of the word, thinks that by personally, directly and venomously abusing a player that the player will give his all.

Personally up until this moment I had a great deal of respect for this fan though as of now, will be treated with contempt.

Andy, on behalf of the thousand of true Stags fans everywhere please accept this apology.

[Parkinsons Perm]

Please name and shame said fan

[MTFCMAD]

Name and shame any fan abusing a player before kick off is no fan in my eyes!!!

[steiner]

Neanderthal removed of the lowest order.. Everything that is wrong with society today just take a look at this stinking turd of a human being,
Ban him for life ASAP.

[Sneag]

Andy Cook has been one of our better players this season.
There's some dumb raspberries at Field Mill at times.

[bellwhiff]

As others have said, name this sad act who feels it acceptable to slate a player before the game has even started.

If you’re on here and you read this, you’re a dicksplash

[yellowstagsfan]

That is not a fan Andy !

That statement just shows how bad we are.

[old ram stag]

I was there and heard the exchange, it made me feel demotivated so how did it make AC feel, give us your all after calling you Hank.

[yellowstagsfan]

Not an Andy Cook fan but no player deserves that before kick off. Root him out and ban him

[Rigsby]

Why do some football "fans" think that because they've paid to get in it entitles them to abuse who they like.
If the identity of this individual is known they should be reported and dealt with.

It’s actually embarrassing all around the ground with some of the brain dead drivel that’s spouted off.

well done to those who stepped in and apologised to the player.

[Old amber]

There’s no room for idiots like this so called fan,if he feels that bad then sod off down the road to the raspberry,
Or don’t turn up any more ,he should be named and shamed.this just goes to show how toxic our support
Has become

[Richard Cranium]

Our fans are tge worst set of raspberries in the lower leagues. Embarrassing

[Spiritater]

I doubt he'll be named. Spartacus is going to treat him with the contempt he deserves which should be good enough.

[Old amber]

Like most fans at the moment i’m Frustrated and dissapointed at the way things are going.
But his comments are hardly helping the players confidence,he must be a raspberry in disguise!?

[bellwhiff]

That might have some truth but from you after the comments you made last week?

Seriously?

He's scored 5 goals in 20 appearances. 1 in 4 return. A return you could argue is about right for a target man. How about a target man man in a team that ships goals. Also, in a team that has had a few games with 0 shots on goal. Maynard is on 11 league goals in 24 games almost 1 in 2 games. Danny Rose has 8 goals in 22 games. Just over 1 in 3.

The problem isn't our forwards. They shouldn't have any criticism levelled their way.

I've not included Craig Davies because he's made 2 sub appearances one after 82 minutes and the other after 86. It's unfair to judge at this stage of this season.

[tibby]

I find it strange that someone apologised on behalf of the removed. A very British thing to do.

At least the bloke isnt hiding behind a username ay!

Spot on Gazza

We’ve let 42 goals in this season, only 3 other teams have conceded more. That’s the issue

[Conker]

This has been happening most games by the way people, Benning had it directed to him near the end of the Bradford game and you could tell it got to him.

A big portion of fans at the end made the point to Benning to apologise and clapped him off.

[S7AGS]

So who was it then....he needs naming and shaming so he can get some advice if his own on Facebook or twitter.

Did nobody say anything to him at the time!? Totally unacceptable to abuse your own players especially before a ball is kicked...might as well go and sit in away end
