Haha, far from a Magic hater. Actually enjoy what the the club does on and off the pitch. The one eyed supporters in the peanut gallery however should be issued a rulebook and maybe given a personal copy of the code of conduct they display at the ground.
I've experienced many a time where families, with children have moved away due to the behaviour, comments and language being used. Most recently against Olympic, the game where they got a few junior teams to play at half time. One or two of the teams sat near me. And even their coaches and the families of these children felt scared and intimidated. I daresay, not the image Magic would want amongst their junior football families. Anyway.
I've also found their supporters to be very toxic. The shit they lump on Haynes and even Under 22s and Under 19s players is a bit much. Wait, that's only if they are losing though. When they win everything is ok. Comments from The Magician earlier only confirm this attitude.
I sat in the back row once on a rainy day supporting the opposing team, (there's maybe 1-2 teams I prefer over Magic) from personal/friends connections. Merely stood up, clapped and said "cmon xxxxxx" after we had scored. I got some beer poured over me for my efforts. A sarcastic "it slipped" was the response when confronted. Was great that we won though. Again, not everyone, and this was an individual.
I'm not against Magic, their players or the club on a whole, and I very much respected them whenever I played them. I take exception to their "supporters". Sure, not all supporters. Not even a majority of them. But there's certainly a few ruining it.
