Where is the personal abuse?

I think he is referring to criticism of his physical attributes and outward expressions of emotion both verbal and bodily, his arm waving and gestures etc. This gets expressed in such a way as to resemble "abuse". I would guess most or all of such critics don't go to the games anyway and so he is free of any barracking where it matters, at the match.

I mean it’s not abuse at all really is it.

And if they don’t go the games anyway why do you complain about it almost daily on here?
 

Ok, thank you, here goes. Thou shalt not criticise a player's mannerisms. Thou shalt not continually harp back to the horrible error at Analfield when he threw the game away. Thou shalt not pretend he is a lousy keeper when he represents his country more or less flawlessly. Thou shalt not pretend he is one of our big problems, when any fool knows he is not.
Obeying these commandments may be too difficult for some, but give it a try.
 
I left out one commandment, maybe the most important. Thou shalt support your team with all your heart and soul, by regular attendance, and give full verbal encouragement when at the match.
I guess this will be a major obstacle for some on GOT.

You forget presentation of ticket stubs before being allowed to lick his boots

I’m sorry but it’s not for you to decide how people spend their very hard earned money.

The problem with Pickford and I’ve said this for years is that he makes a save during a game which everyone goes ‘wow that was a good save’, yet during the same game he usually does something stupid, we concede a goal but everyone forgets about it because of the good save he made earlier. It’s happened more times than I can remember.

No, it's the other way around. A mistake that leads to a goal is jumped on by people like you, irrespective of how well he's played in games before that.
 
We are 18th in the league but he is far better than the 18th best goalie in the league.
It is why he is regularly linked with Spurs and Utd
He never moans about wanting CL though of course he does
He never moans on international duty about how he wants better
One of 2 players that saved us last season
Make of that what you will
