The reality is that we'll never have a 100% united fanbase on this because some fans on social media (this is especially common on Facebook) who never actually put their hands in their pockets and go the game just want to play the superfan and look down on anyone demanding more from the club. They don't actually care about the club. They read about the results on social media or occasionally catch a game in the pub. That's why they can be so blindly positive and trot out endless cringeworthy sentiments while sneering at anyone that questions them.
We'll lose 5-0 at home to a bang average side and some bellend on facebook will say "I felt more down reading all the negativity on here then I did about the result or the club in general! If you people can't be positive about the club then keep your opinions to yourself or go support someone else!"
Someone will then point out how unacceptable the result was and how bad our form has been and rise legitimate questions and concerns about the club.
And the bellend will respond "if you understood this club club you wouldn't need any explanation, you'd just support the club. You don't understand so you don't matter!"
Its a grave mistake to take anything said on facebook seriously. Many of these people only care about the club on an incredibly superficial level.
Your first paragraph is rubbish. Facebook people have their identity public and most of them are definitely match going fans.
This forum is the opposite. People typing and speaking to people like they never would in real life and post OTT opinions.
