The standards of this particular idiot should never be underestimated.
There were a vocal minority even with Robert who played into the old 'lazy, doesn't put a shift in' shite. Some woman in the Milburn in particular never shut up about him
"ROBEARRRR, IT'S YOUR FAULT, ROBEARRRR, IT'S YOU AGAIN, YOU'VE LOST IT AGAIN ROBEARR, GET BACK MAN ROBEARRR, WHAT YOU DOING SHOOTING FROM THERE ROBEARRR YOU GREEDY SOD, ROBEARRR, GET BACK ROBEEARR, YER LAZY ROBEARRRR"
In fact maybe it was just her.
