Pedro Porro sends controversial message to ‘true Tottenham fans’ after Fulham incident
Pedro Porro has come out with fighting words following his antics after Tottenham vs Fulham on Saturday, which has created much controversy.
Just when you thought the relationship between the Tottenham players and the fans could not get any more strained, we saw scenes that we had never witnessed before on Saturday.
As has become the norm at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, the players were booed incessantly by the fans, both during the game as well as at half-time and the full-time whistle.
Clearly upset by the supporters’ behaviour, Pedro Porro was angered when Lucas Bergvall decided to applaud the fans, with the Spaniard shouting at his teammate before heading straight down the tunnel.
Pedro Porro says he will not tolerate Tottenham fans who disrespect his teammates
Thomas Frank played down the Porro incident, and one would have expected the Spaniard to apologise.
Instead, he has now taken to social media to state that his behaviour was down to the fact that he and his teammates felt disrespected.
The 26-year-old reminded supporters that just like last season, it is not about how the campaign begins, but rather about how it finishes.
Porro wrote on Instagram stories: “Football is emotions. In football, as in life, there can always be mistakes. What I will not tolerate is hearing disrespect from the fans to my teammates, hence my frustration at the end of the game.
“And we will get up, we remind you six months ago, everything was so bad, and in the end, it is not how it begins but how it ends. To the true Spurs fan, I love you.”
Spurs fans need to do better
The supporters have every right to be frustrated and angry, and booing after the game is understandable, given how poor the results have been at home.
However, what happened to Vicario is extremely unfortunate, and one can understand why the players and Thomas Frank have reacted so angrily to the incident.
Booing your own players in the middle of the game when they have just made a mistake is only going to destroy their confidence.
The excuses from some Spurs fans of paying high ticket prices or being angered by the performances completely miss the point.
The question they have to ask themselves is simple: Do they want to make it harder for their own team by booing them during a game?
