de-fence

Any chance someone can truncate the video of MOTD3 down to just lawro saying he wouldn't come. Would be useful for explaining to people what a clueless, useless fat w@nker he is.

This thread is a joke. Can a mod not shut it, start a new one with a succinct summary and invite relevant discussion. Its impossible to decipher any ongoings on this.

Spot on, cheers MLG.

Ermm no, not really Saints related

Agreed

You are a moron if you thought that was staged. And anyone who didn't find that documentary shocking is a disgrace in this day and age. Men saying they agree with certain Nazi ideologies and openly showing banners at football matches that say death to jews. I'm going to Poland for the euros and it certainly made me sit up and take notice, despite being white and not jewish

Or maybe you care far too much what people think of you and your club. Let's call in the psychologist: Cares a lot about what people think of him - distinct insecurities - creates alternative persona on an internet forum where no one can see the reality behind the name... Yea I suppose that does make sense

Correct me if I'm wrong but claiming to be part of a 'forum cool gang' by default makes you part of the 'sad life crew'

Jesus christ, get a life

Wrong film. Will let you off as that is my favourite film ever.

What about a character from a Guy Ritchie film?

Getting the train from uni in Bristol to Durham, back to Boro, watch game, back to Durham, spend night, back to Bristol. All on my own with the exception of Durham where a mate lives. ****ing tragic in any normal person's eyes. No other option if I wanna be there unfortunately. 12 hours on a train by myself. Yay!

Riverside!

Was expecting this and I admire the wit you've shown by copying what I said. I said I agree that as if any footballer would care about some nobody in the crowd shouting 'who?' when they earn more in a week what said fan may do in a year. Did I start a thread on it? Did I say it ruined my night and that it made me embarrassed to be a Saints fan?

Must admit I agree with this

I'm sorry but as an experiement... If I told you to get the gloves on and put in 10 crosses and took note of how many you caught. I then get 4,000 people behind the goal and get them to tell you you look ridiculous and just shout general abuse then put in another 10 crosses. Do you not think you would perform worse? I'm not saying this as fact, if you honestly don't think it would make a difference then fair enough. I just think it would.

Well we'll never know. Hope you're well on the way to recovering from your traumatic experience last night.

Is it funny when people sing 'get back in your burger' to dean gerkin? Not really. Just a way to make some noise and make an opposition player feel a bit uncomfortable. Its just not an issue. I don't know why I'm even wasting my time debating it. Just find it incredible that something so innocuous can get under some people's skin as much as it clearly does.

I had never heard it before so for me yea I thought it was quite funny. My sides weren't splitting but I chuckled at it. Went with my brother in law who hasn't been to many football matches and he found it funny too. After I left the ground that was it though. Hardly something to write home about. That's why when I came on here and saw people laying into it I was really surprised. Just thought what's the harm. Seeing who started the thread obviously kicked off everything I said about ideologies. Sorry if I did come off a bit strong but I just find this whole dictitorial attitude towards how people support their team so mind-numbingly dull. I'm sorry but we're now one win away from promotion and come on here this morning to read.... ' A great night for us ruined by the actions of a few. I've never been so embarrassed to be a saints fan.' I mean come on... Really? EDIT: to answer your last point, yea I'm sure his concentration would wane slightly and he would feel less comfortable standing there than he would otherwise. OK it's not going to make him unable to do his job but it may ever so slightly affect his performance. Just to be clear I know that isn't the motivation for singing it, that being a cheap laugh.

Exactly.

I'm sorry but when was anything about following a football team mature? Is it mature to sing songs about made up stories of shooting pompey fans and following it with WE HATE POMPEY, WE HATE POMPEY. The beauty of following a football team is that it is so ****ing immature. A bunch on grown up men shouting their heads of and hugging each other... In what other situation is that deemed acceptable behaviour? He was wearing an orange kit. Hence some people wanted him to feel insecure about this in a mildly humourous way. And I bet it changed his mindset somewhat. Feeling like actually I do look a bit of a prat. Anything to put the opposition at a disadvantage no matter how slight. Get off your ****ing high horse. Football is a modern game supported by people from a massive demographic. Football away days aren't like scenes from Green Street no matter how much you wish they were. Remember you praising Millwall's support earlier in the season. Would love to see you justify that to the mothers and fathers who's kids were being spat on and having coins thrown at whilst waiting to go over the footbridge. Reassess your attitude to what consitutes support because your ideologies are outdated and quite frankly far more embarrassing than telling a goalkeeper in an orange kit that he looks like a wotsit.

Oh lighten the **** up. Jesus. Can just imagine everyone celebrating our goals but you standing there with a stern face cos you're reeling over the big bad wotsit chant that ruined your night.
