Funny comments from sunday

[Lord Duckhunter]

How would you feel if someone was stood up infront of your child or frail relative meaning they couldn't see the penalty?

 

I'm guessing your avatar is your child. If someone stood in front of your child, would you not be a tad annoyed?

 

.

 

We were behind the goal and even when stood up, my lad couldn't see too well as everyone in front was stood as well. It doesn't bother me that much, but my little lad couldn't see (they were stood for most of the game). Asked the guys in front to sit down, but they came out with all this "we support the side properly" nonsense (funny how they missed 2 goals by going for a beer). There were some guys from further round who saw what was going on and offered to swap seats with us (which was great of them). Dont really know what the answer is, I guess next time I'll get tickets higher up, where they wont allow any standing.

 

I tend to go with the flow, but when it spoils my little lads enjoyment, I'm going to say something. If that makes me a crap supporter, then I guess I am.

[Matthew Le God]

I agree with you, but then I think standing at games should be legalised again so the issue wouldnt arise.

 

As long as it is in a designated area where if you buy a tickets you are made aware it will be like that then I have no problem with standing.

Thats right.

 

Standing for a pen is ok, jumping up when we score or go close is ok. The issue I had was with people standing the whole game. I'm 6ft 2" so it doesn't bother me, but my little one couldn't see. Had I known I'd have got tickets elsewhere and then all the people who wanted to stand, could stand together and everyone else could sit.

[saint_stevo]

turned a decent thread into another ***** fest?

[Tac-tics]

Banter.

[Griffo]

****ing hell. Anyone thinking that it would be better to sit down for a penalty at a final at Wembley is an absolute boring arsehole. It was said all over here that behind the goal in the bottom tier would be a standing area too.

An American/Canadian coming down the escalator at Baker Street wearing a Carlisle shirt, shouting he'd been ripped off as they had convinced him it was going to be an ice hockey match!

Did all Saints fans before they booked tickets read this forum?

 

Did others all around the stadium stand not just behind the goal? Yes.

 

I'd rather be a "boring but considerate to others arsehole" than a selfish d!ck.

[SNSUN]

I was in an aisle seat. I can't remember if I was standing for the penalty or not, but it's better sitting on the aisle IMO. (Aside from standing up every bleeding 30 seconds to let somebody go for a pee/burger/beer/**** knows what people are doing instead of watching Saints play at Wembley...)

[Saint_clark]

Driver on the tube to Wembley before the game;

"Hello this is your driiiiiiiiiiiver....unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances in the Wembley area todays match has had to be cancelled......just kidding. Please ensure you take all personal belongings with you, although personally I don't see why a ticket for Southampton V Carlisle in a paint pot trophy would be worth anything. Then again i'm a Tottenham fan so what do I know. Hope you Saints fans get the result you want, have a nice day".

Legend.

I'd much rather the enjoyment of 43,500 standing up in excitement to watch a penalty than sit down and be considerate to the people that were unable to stand. What do they expect in a cup final at Wembley for **** sake?

[RonManager]

I was in an aisle seat.

 

I thought I was in an aisle seat, being Seat No.1. But no, I was in the middle of the row - dead centre of the stadium behind the goal. I was, in effect, a meridian and could, therefore, not join in with the 'we're the left side/right side over here' songs.

 

We were stood throughout and nobody complained.

How did standing make the penalty any better? You'd have seen exactly the same thing if you were sat down and then jumped up when Lambert scored. In doing so everybody could have seen it rather than just those that were stood up.

[itchen]

Funniest things were the three or four people who kept berating fellow fans way up in block 550 for not joining in with their chanting. We're not proper supporters apparently if we don't want to shoot the Pompey scum or to stand up if we love the Saints. However all of this exclusive band of star supporters missed the goals before and after half time because their need for beer exceeded their need to support the team or even watch the game.

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

I couldn't understand why so many people were leaving 10 mins before half time, after all this was our team playing at Wembley and they were more interested in beer!! I had trouble seeing the Carlisle goal.

 

About 5 mins after the start of the 2nd half 3 lads were returning to there seats when one of them turned to the others on seeing the score to complain he'd only seen 1 goal.

 

Serves him right

 

Were you in the club Wembley seats in block 250? Your description sounds like a couple of the lads I went with. One of whom fell asleep in the second half and was only woken by the surrounding fans shouting 'wake up sleepy head'. He opened one eye and said 'I had a funny feeling that I might have been asleep'.

Not a funny comment but the bloke who was enthusiastically 'mooning' every passing Saints bus on the M40 yesterday did enliven a otherwise tedious journey back ..... oh and a special mention goes to 'Ricky's Mum' as well - what a splendid women you undoubtedly are

[niceandfriendly]

Football fans stand at goal scoring opportunity shocker.

 

I hope the national media picked up on this sensation. Their papers will sell like hot cakes.

[Evil Monkey]

This was shaping up to be a good little thread until it got hijacked by the same boring sitting/standing argument we've all heard a million times before.

 

Back to the funny moments/comments please.

[Stud mark of doom]

We decided to walk from our Hotel to Waterloo this morning, to clear our heads after a fantastic day and great evening.

 

As we passed St Paul's we noticed a single white balloon on the steps - which obviously called for a brief game of 'keep it up' - only to discover on the first kick that it had the club crest on the other side!

 

I have a feeling that there will be quite a few Saints balloons in London over the next few years.

[saint_stevo]

my dad went for a leak in the coach car park, came back over and chatting to me and some of his 76' pals, until one of them realised the severe splash-back over his black trainers.

 

"Mate, you p*ssed on your shoes"

[Tamesaint]

The wembley announcer trying to pronounce Papa's name when he read the teams out .

 

Mind you .... he said it perfectly when he gave the scorer of the third goal!!

[View From The Top]

According to this thread it seems the only qualifications needed to be "Saints Fan" at Wembley was to be a permanent p*sshead and an inconsiderate pea-brained Rrsole to boot...

 

It would be nice to learn that a few went up there for more than the booze.

 

You'd have fitted right in then.

My 7yo nipper stands on his seat at away games or I ask people to swap seats so he can see.

You are either very good and fishing or a total mong.

Answer the question rather than throwing around petty insults because you disagree with me. Not a very mature way to discuss something.

Weirdo.

[sticksaint]

Bloke behind me "we could just do with a second goal before half time"

 

30 seconds later we scored our second goal :-)

[Andy_Porter]

I bet MLG is a hoot to sit with at football.

[Matthew Le God]

Weirdo.

 

I'd rather be a wierdo than an inconsiderate buffoon that is only concerned with watching the game how they like, rather than taking into account their actions maybe spoiling the experience of a Wembley final for others. Which is the exact position you have taken.

[dune]

Thanks, I would rather be an inconsiderate buffoon than a weirdo.

[LVSaint]

The American Jesus freak with loud speaker on the way up to the stadium from the tube said a few funny comments. Wonder if he converted any Saints?

[Matthew Le God]

I think you have bridged the gap and managed both because you are unable to counter any of my points with anything approaching a coherent argument.

Anyone who chooses to sit down (as opposed to have to) when a penalty is about to be taken at a Wembley final gets what they deserve.

[70's Mike]

after the presentation and lap of honour, announcer saying that is celebrations over please now leave.

[for_heaven's_Saint]

The Stewards said themselves that it was alright to stand up when we were attacking.

Dear me, drop in now please or start a thread of your own FFS

[Matthew Le God]

What if the have no choice and have to sit due to frailty or kids or lack of height?

 

I stood for the penalty but on because I was forced to do so because the rows in front of me did. The frail elderly gentleman behind me with a walking stick was obstructed by 6 foot of me and remained seated and missed it. If everyone had remained seated he would have seen the goal.

[RonManager]

Bloke behind me "we could just do with a second goal before half time"

Ooh I said that. It might have been me - but then again I expect many others said similar.

 

FWIW I also said we could do with a quick goal after half-time as well..........:smt035

Its nothing to do with boredom.

 

Its about letting little kids and disabled people share the moment.

I reckon Merrington must have said something similar on commentary

[Matthew Le God]

?

 

No, I'm 27 year old and 6 foot 1 .

 

However I was forced to stand for the penalty due to those in front doing so and I obstructed the view of an elderly man behind me. He remained seated as he was too frail to keep standing up and missed the goal. If however everyone was seated, everyone would have had an unobstructed view.

 

I really can't understand why so many in this thread think that this is ok!!!

I was sat near an elderly couple, both of whom must have been in their seventies, whose day out was nearly ruined because two youthful looking lads decided to stand directly in front of them for the first half, meaning they couldn't see anything.

 

Do you think it's fair that those two fans had their day out at Wembley ruined?

How did the elderly man get to his seat??? I presume he used his legs, I expect he could of used them for the penalty.

[dune]

That's really sad.

Whatever Pinnochio.

[BLINK]

the penalty was taken about 2 minutes after it was given, loads of time for him to stand up.

[Scudamore]

Just too frail to stand up for thirty seconds...

 

Matthew Le Bore strikes again...thread killing par excellence...

You're arguing with the same person that compared taking the **** out of someone for being ginger to racism... it's a lost cause.

As I was leaving I saw a woman with a T Shirt on with Rickie's Mum and another woman with Rickie's something I didn't catch,she didn't look old enough to be Rickie's mum though.
