The claim in the article that the negativity receptors in the brain are more receptive than their positive counterparts is certainly food for thought.
To take it further would it be reasonable to assume that different supporters also have variants in the pos/neg thresholds? That is to say would the LFC faithful tolerate a longer run of bad results than their manUre rivals?
There must surely be affecting factors in such a premise not least of all the supporters psyche,the clubs history and success or lack of and the very nature of support.
I've seen the reaction at Old Toilet when we were there scoring for fun and their supporters were getting off in their thousands not a picture I am glad to say I've seen at Anfield, well not in such numbers, which leads me to believe there is indeed a difference in which team you support and the negativity tolerance level.
