I think that what you say is largely true. Matt certainly had some failings ( he is human after all!!) but as I posted elsewhere, Saints fans just don`t care about them. Anyone continuosly carrying on about these "failings" like a dripping urinal, is quite simply wasting their time if they think that ANY Saints fan is going to change their opinion of him. He was not perfect - live with it. He gave us so many good times, I can forgive for him any minor defects.
