Funny comments from sunday

[View From The Top]

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?

 

I would have asked if they'd swap seats. I've done that before when my dad was in that position. Never has anyone said no to that suggestion.

 

I've also done that so my nipper can see.

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

 

:shock:

[alpine_saint]

Some of the stick MLG is getting on here is totally uncalled for, FFS.

 

I am glad I dont lord it as hard-core Über-fan like some on here. How impressive you really all are.

[SaintNeil90]

So what did everyone do when there werent any seats at football games? When I was younger and went to games at the Dell with my Dad he either stood me on a seat or lifted me up. Im pretty sure the whole ground was stood up for the penalty, I was on the half way line and everyone was stood up, in fact I dont think I've ever been sat down for a penalty and I have a season ticket in the Chapel for many years. Unfortunatly its part of the game. Possibly ask for front row next time?

At no point did I make a direct comparison between the two. What I did say was that to insult someone for something which they have no control due to genetics, be it hair colour or skin colour is wrong and shouldn't be tolerated.

Having a beer on wembley way and hearing someone shouting "you skate bastard". Turning around to see it was coming from a boy in a wheelchair being pushed by his dad.

For a fascist goon that was a top quality put down.

[Matthew Le God]

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

 

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

 

I'm just sticking to my point. Any reasonable person would agree with me. However expressing a view that people should be considerate for others on this forum brings out of the woodwork all those that aren't considerate. They then come lumbering into the thread with petty insults and their arguments collapse at the first hurdle and are only concerned with how they like to view a game of football and sod everyone else.

My 10 year old nipper yesterday with about 3 minutes to go; loads of flags being waved which was interrupting his view of the pitch, hence him yelling "PUT THOSE F***ING FLAGS DOWN!!!!"

 

I blame his mother....

If you go to the Alfred before any home game,you will see him there usually singing any Skate songs.

[sticksaint]

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

 

 

Were you in block 132?

[Pamplemousse]

On a tube and it suddenly goes quiet. Some shouts "cheer up we just won the ****ing cup" and everyone starts laughing.

 

I heard that as well

[ladysaint]

Not a verbal comment but what I found quite funny was Markus taking photographs with his mobile phone when the team were in front of him with the cup, it just seemed so ordinary.

I know who you're on about, he looks about 10 but is really 20 something.

He does seem quite down to earth compared to a lot of billionare types.

It's a boring point of view that has ruined an otherwise good thread. You sir are a know it all and the worst kind of know it all to boot. A know it all who hasn't got a clue. I'll not let you into my my stance when it comes to standing for a penalty as i'd rather not let you continue your boreathon. Now i suggest you leave this thread and go do some knitting. That's if you're not feeling too frail...

[Junior Mullet]

Went on a stag do in Manchester, having left car in Richmond. Car broke down, AA man arrived and I said I thought he was quick arriving to which he said, "that's the first time I've heard that today, the place is bloody packed with Saints fans". His face was a picture when I told him I was a Saints fan too.

As with all the others you have resulted to insults. Yet when coming to answer why standing is acceptable and not inconsiderate you refuse to comment. It is easy to throw insults, you find it hard to justify your viewpoint.

[scott_saints]

People in JJ moons pub sing the Lambert song.

 

Two Jcl's in the corner look at each other and one asks "What was that song all about?"

 

His reply was "I think it's because Mick Lambert is a goal scoring machine"

Sounds like a case of Tourettes. I hear he had to move out of Portsmouth because of it......

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Someone on the tube on the way back was calling someone who was saved on their phone as Dean Hammond. That was funny

[Redbul]

Carlisle fans singing "your not singing anymore" when 4-0 down

 

To which the response was (where I was anyway) "STAND UP IF YOU'RE 4 NIL UP...." which was a bit strange 'cos we'd been standing the whole match anyway!!!!

[Um Bongo]

Were you in block 132?

 

Row 14?

[Redbul]

Row 14?

 

We were block 132 Row 14....

Stadium rules declare that standing is acceptable in a period of excitement. If there are people out there who don't find it exciting that their team has just won a penalty in the final of a cup at Wembley, that is their own malfunction, not the other 50,000 who were stood up in anticipation.

[RonManager]

Were you in block 132?

 

134, row 19, seat 1.

 

I have got a loud voice though.

If you really think that standing for a penalty in a cup final at Wembley is so out of order, then may be footall isn't the best spectator sport for you.

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

Some numpty above me (I was the the second to last row of the bottom tier) drapes his flag over, completely blocked my view (and the others around me) and initiated a chorus of "Are you taking the ****?" or "Cheers mate" - after we tried to rip it down a few times he finally got the bloody message. The sheer idiocy of it all made me laugh.

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

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?

 

I was waiting for him to say 'Jesus Saves' just so that I could shout 'But Lambert scores from the rebound'. Sadly it never happened & I certainly had no intention of hanging around for too long.

[bristolsaint29]

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?

 

I saw alot of elderly Saints fans remaining seated behind those standing up. They all missed it, yet you don't seem to give a sh!t. If everyone was seated everyone could have seen it just fine.

 

What do you actually gain from standing to see a penalty? The positives nowhere near outweigh the drawbacks.

 

Maybe we should ban fat people as well as you can't see round them. Oh and only clap when goals are scored as the shouting may scare frail people.

 

When my son is old enough to go the football he will be just the same as me when I was younger on the terraces and be askind Dad what happened while pulling on my trouser leg.

I hope this answers your questions.

[hamster]

Its nothing to do with boredom.

 

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

 

don't forget the little disabled kids.

 

I stand for pens fwiw, but I think it comes from the days at The Dell when I would bounce up and down in the forlorn hope that I would catch a glimpse of net moving signalling a goal.

 

then we entered our darker days (post MLT) when I would stand for a pen as it was quicker to sit down from the standing position than to jump up and hastily sit back down following thr inevitable miss. By the time any visiting fans start to point and laugh and sing 'sit down, shut up' I would be sat quietly pouring a cup of tomato soup.

[chestersaint]

Were you in the club Wembley seats in block 550? 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'.

Is that you Steve? Andy falling asleep was priceless and recorded on my mobile for future use! Great day.

Pointless taking him then.

Little girl on the train up asked whether she would like a pony "no i want a hot tub" was her reply! Bizarre...

[hackedoff]

Fat, mouthy woman at Fleet services on the way up shouting how wonderful it is to see men queued for the bog while she walks straight in. "Imagine sitting next to that in the ground "I say to the bloke in front of me. "Imagine being married to it " comes his reply.

[saintjinksie]

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 believe we live in democracy, more people agree that standing for a pen is acceptable therefore it will continue. Surely someone who is too frail to stand should be sat in the disabled seats?

[DrZuess1979 the 2nd]

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!!

 

Lol

 

Papa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

wa-------------y--------go

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

At the services on the M40 we were chatting to a Carlisle fan who was asking where was a good place to leave the car and get the train to Wembley. At this point a guy approached us and said 'Good luck for today'. I assumed he was a Carlisle fan... Then came the bombshell... 'I'm a Pompey fan, but I like to see you doing well'.

 

Never been so stunned. If it was the other way round I'd never dream of approaching 3 Pompey fans at a service station and admitting I was a Saints fan.

[St_Tel49]

Being passed by a white minibus on the M3 which had a sign on the back saying "Our driver's a Pompey Fan". I wonder what bet he lost??!!

[saint lard]

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.

 

Probably would not have tucked it away so confidently as Lambert though.

[Johnny Shearer]

From the kick-off and the ball goes straight out. Some matey jumps up and yells "YYYYEEEEAAAARRRGGGG!".

[Iowsaintsfan]

Not a verbal comment but what I found quite funny was Markus taking photographs with his mobile phone when the team were in front of him with the cup, it just seemed so ordinary.

 

Wonder if hes going to post them on the photos from wembley thread?!

[Joesaint]

I got back to Canterbury still wearing my shirt and scarf and a guy in a Liverpool shirt starts laughing at me

"unlucky mate, you was proper rubbish today"

"excuse me?"

"Liverpool destroyed Sunderland innit"

"erm, im a Southampton fan on my way back from watching us win a cup final. Something you wont be doing this year"

"yeah....well... we beat Sunderland....yeah...sorry mate"

 

nothing was gonna bring me down yesterday!

 

Like it, great come back.

I was in block 538, opposite side of the stadium to you. What I find sad is there were 1000's of fans that wanted tickets but couldn't get them.

 

I enjoyed seeing Papa tapping his heart and pointing to the fans, shows how much he appreciates us

[Sparky_Mark]

Not sure if anyone on here was sat in block 545 but after a couple of drinks i went to find seats with 2 mates around an hour before kick off, i have suffered from a bad back over the last week so couldnt really bend.......

 

because of this i tried to use my foot to put my seat down so i could have a sit down only for me to trip fall and roll and end up 3 rows from where my seat was, this brought a big cheer from the fans that saw it and fair play to the steward who didnt take it serious and patted me on the back and took the p!ss and told me to enjoy the day. My mates haven't let me live it down!
