Geneva is boring and that's why we
love our good old Kalvingrad. And it's also why we love to focus on completely
uninteresting and irrelevant facts.
Before Swiss Cup
2014, 1st round, Servette FC coach Kevin Cooper recently stated in an interview
for official website www.servettefc.ch that he was fortunate to have played the
2008 FA Cup final with Cardiff against Portsmouth. It didn't take long for
Servette FC cyber supporters to google the facts and notice the terrible
lie.
What I found
interesting was not the fact that Kevin Cooper might have lied to the
supporters of his new club, because it was obviously a translation error (in
the age of internet/Wikipedia, would he really lie about something like that?
Come on!). What I found fascinating was the supporters disproportionate
reaction to such a small little mistake. All over social networks and forums,
supporters were calling Cooper a liar and saying how shocked they were that an
official club media could be so unprofessional no to verify the facts before
publishing articles. This, for me shows the true "Genevois"
mentality, complain about anything possible, and if there's nothing to complain
about, find something. So in a certain way, the supporters reaction is a
"Genevois style" confession that they consider that thing at the club
are going well and that they are quite happy with the current management.
The error has
since been corrected and poor Kevin Cooper has no longer played a FA Cup final.
But he now remembers witnessing his team losing to Portsmouth in 2008. Boring.
