Yes, he's been disappointing. Not good. Bad even.

But I am getting increasingly irate with the idiots in the stands who seem to have taken his existence personally.

Yesterday around me everything he did was met with "pr*ck", "get him out my club", "tw*t".

I'm talking about little things that he can't do anything about; i.e. a 50/50 ball that goes physically beyond his reach, or being out muscled by two large defenders at the corner flag.

BOSTON — As midnight approaches on New Year’s Eve, when much of the country will be glued to the broadcasts from Times Square, Anthony Amore will be waiting for his phone to ring. He is no lovelorn teen: Amore, director of security at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, is a detective of sorts on the trail of the world’s largest unsolved art heist, in which thieves purloined 13 items, valued at half a billion dollars, from the museum in 1990.
