Hill's obsession with a minority of fans

I've come to the conclusion that Hill's acute hearing and over-reaction for the odd pillock shouting abuse at the players is down to the fact he's never had to deal with it before. There couldn't have been more than a dozen fans booing Jaymac after last week's clanger, although I couldn't hear any where i was sat at the back of the Ponty and neither did Jaymac according to the Chron.
That represents less than 0.2% of fans at the game so why does he get his nickers in a twist? The fact is that he's only managed Rochdale who let's face it are lucky to pull in 3,000 on a good day. Since he took over at the Dale, they only ever saw success. Them in the upper half of the 3rd Division is akin to us being in the upper half of the Premier League so why would anyone get on the players backs?
Hence he needs to get some selective hearing quick. 99.98% of Barnsley fans are behind the manager yet he chooses to comment on the 0.02% of knobheads who act like babies every time we let a goal in.

 

Theory doesn't work - Rochdale fans said he was exactly the same with them.

 

its a distraction tactic, as soon as he attacks the fans and moans about boos and such like, the interviewers react and try to stoke it up by sensationalising his comments as much as possible, wile digging and digging to try and get Benny to say more, they totally disregard there real job in getting comments about a game, and thats exactly what Benny is trying to do because he just dose not want to talk about how poor we where and he gets out of it by giving this bullshyte reaction

Glad I'm not the only one with this view. Reading the Chron this week, you'd think all 9,000 Barnsley fans were booing and shouting abuse when in reality it was a few people (I didn't hear anything). Hill always criticizes the small minority of booing fans but rarely praises the majority of fans who sing his name at every match.
But then again I remember a Rochdale fan telling us not to expect Hill to be our 'friend'. 99.9% of Barnsley supporters are fully behind Hill, but does Hill know/realise this?

 

Yeah his apparent need to pick on the negative aspect of our support, rather than the positive, seems to be a characteristic of his that tends to obstruct the fans capacity to take him to their hearts. The way that the way the team generally plays has the average fan wishing to be on Keith's side, but although he has the capacity to romance us, he'll find a way not to marry us. Not yet. He's still moaning about the 1 dissenter in the congregation.

 

Because he's only happy when he's pointing out things that don't come up to scratch

If it's not Barnsley fans it's social network sites, if it's not social network sites it's reality TV, if it's not that it's summat else. It won't ever be the team because that reflects poorly on him and I think it's pretty obvious that Keith Hill thinks Keith Hill is great. He's got very high standards, he believes he meets those standards, his team is his own so they meet his standards, pretty much everything else falls short. Be they Barnsley fans, football agents, anybody but him advising his players, anyone that is in anyway critical of him or his team, Twitter, Big Brother and just about anything else unless he gives it his seal of approval. Ian Brown makes the grade though.

Could be a hell of a lot worse. He could be a lousy football manager. Thankfully he's not. Quite the opposite from what he has shown so far.
