No change of heart needed.
What I actually said was:
"I am shocked at my reaction to Gareth's recent comments. I've been thinking about them abit since he made them.
I have concluded that his comment about the fans, or some of them, being pathetic and unsophisticated, and not knowing much about football... pah. I can ignore those. Stupid things to say, even in the context he said them... but I can get over those.
But the fact that he wants to kill my cat. I am really struggling to come to terms with this one. I am quite surprised by this, but for the first time I am disinterested in the team, the club, and the A league. I am not bummed out I am not in Auckland for the game against Perth, and I am not 100% sure I can be bothered going to the next home game.
Way to go Gareth. I was pretty sure you could have said just about anything and you wouldn't have alienated me. Turns out I was wrong."Shocked at my reaction to Gareth's comments... yes.
I can ignore the comments re. the fans being pathetic and unsophisticated etc... yes.
The fact that he wants to kill my cat... struggling to come to terms with this one... yes.
Not bummed out that I am not in Auckland for the game against Perth... yes.
Feeling alienated... yes.
But, "not going to the next home game"...? No, I didn't say that.
"Not sure if I can be bothered going to the next home game... i.e. shaken, yes... but not going... no.
I'll be there.
Still.
