Turkish Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 You do see the irony in that don't you? Calm down, you'll get an ulcer like me. lOL, ROFL, FAF.
dronskisaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I think that it shows a nice and caring side of the self-appointed 'cool gang' that they take such an avid interest in what other men are wearing....very 'in touch' )
Greenridge Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Calm down, you'll get an ulcer like me. lOL, ROFL, FAF. That's the first post you've managed this morning that's not littered with poor grammar and spelling so that's a start. I was worried Dune would get an ulcer as he's hot on this type of thing.
Dog Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Fancy dress for end of season games has been around for eons- its as english as terrace culture. And its not specific to our club. Correct, but traditional for the AWAY fans and not half the home support.

de-fence Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Dont be jealous because you arent part of the forum cool gang. For a lot of you it must remind you of school with the cool gang of well dressed, good looking lads get all the laughs, all the best women and all the glory while you sit there in the corner of the playground greedily tucking into your packed lunch dreaming of being someone who matters. 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'
solentstars Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 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'me to i,m cooler than you:smug:
Micky Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I think I'd be allowed to join the Forum Cool Gang because as I type I am wearing a pair of Timberland Boots. How cool am I.
dronskisaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I think I'd be allowed to join the Forum Cool Gang because as I type I am wearing a pair of Timberland Boots. How cool am I. So am I...have we killed Timberland as a brand or am I just the exception that proves the rule? It's so difficult to know what to do...splashed some yacht varnish in to my eyebrow last night and wasn't sure if it constituted face painting?
This Charming Man Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Yes you and the backseat boys have indeed expressed that fact that you 'care' what others think of the club' date=' from top to bottom ad nauseum, [b']that you have 'pride'[/b] blah, blah.... when its clear the only fans from other clubs who even give a shiedt about any of this are their own small bands of backseat boys - and you have not answered why what others think should be even relevant - are you 14, spotty and going through that usual adolescent period where you feel the need to impress others rather with every detail? Well at least teh good news is that you will grow out of it. I have and amongst all your ramblings, you've managed to answer your own question.
This Charming Man Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 me to i,m cooler than you:smug: You'd better amend your poor spelling and grammar. You'll give Greenridge an ulcer and you don't want an ulcer when stuck in a damp and dingy bedsit. I should know as I'm stuck in a damp and dingy bedsit with an ulcer. #ulcer #DampAndDingyBedsit
Greenridge Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I should know as I'm stuck in a damp and dingy bedsit with an ulcer. #ulcer #DampAndDingyBedsit Acknowledgement and acceptance of your condition is the first positive step towards recovery. There is hope for you.

Frank's cousin Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I have and amongst all your ramblings, you've managed to answer your own question. Guess it comes down to what gives you pride in your club: You and a few others: How we are viewed in terms of a 'propa' club, what we wear, sing or whatever by other fans of other clubs The majority: the fact the club is at the heart of the community, inclusive to all, accepting and embracing of all fans and the way they chose to support, what we achieve on the pitch, the way the club is managed and the not at all concerned with what others think - knowing full well that negative comments tend to be the limited defence of the envious.
suewhistle Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 It's so difficult to know what to do...splashed some yacht varnish in to my eyebrow last night and wasn't sure if it constituted face painting? Depends if it's Blakes or International... I reckon a sociologist would be fascinated by this thread: the minute attention to which brand is current and worn by which sub-group and the denigration of others based on that. Most of the time I haven't a clue what I'm wearing and I couldn't even tell you the make of the special dress I bought for a wedding next month. Just sorted out my kit for training this evening so I can at least tell you my football boots are Nike..:-)
dune Posted 2 May, 2012 Author Posted 2 May, 2012 Most of the time I haven't a clue what I'm wearing and I couldn't even tell you the make of the special dress I bought for a wedding next month. You know it was Evans, don't be embarrassed Suzy.

There are people that take an interest in fashion and what they're wearing and there are people that don't. Hardly a major revelation.

Well done for the assumption that you speak for the majority.
Frank's cousin Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Well done for the assumption that you speak for the majority. Not speaking for anyone... just looking at a crowd of 32,000 last weekend, 50k at wembley, 40k at cardiff and seeing the vast majority in colours, balloons, many in costumes and face paint as evidence...
suewhistle Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 There are people that take an interest in fashion and what they're wearing and there are people that don't. Hardly a major revelation. Exactly! And there are people who are trying to tell other people what they should and shouldn't do or wear and others of us who don't give a t0ss. I can't face this stupidity anymore and not being a sociologist I'm off.
wagon 84 Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Anyone watch the Manchester derby? did anyone see any wig wearing face painted jester hat clowns in the crowd.............? Just saying like... that's all ...

Hardly a major revelation. 'Is it wrong to be inquisitive? Is it wrong to try and understand how the human mind works at times? Is it wrong to take an interest in what makes people tick? I don't believe it is.' Quote from post 165 from the author above... Don't close the thread - it gets funnier by the minute:lol:

Just saying like... that's all ... Nope but if you watch the tv advert for the Chelsea Liverpool cup final you will see a jesters hat. There is also a guy with big curly black hair and a moustache but maybe that wasn't fancy dress.

Was wearing an old pair of genuine Docksiders to show how I spit in the face of convention..a little worried that they too may have been splashed and what this could say about my image....
The Kraken Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Says the bloke with a duff costume as his avatar. Erm, that's not a costume mate. Neither is it something I'd go dressed as to the football, silly.
This Charming Man Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Mods please close this thread. It's awful. There we have it, red&white56 has spoken. He doesn't like this thread so let's shut it. Forget the hundreds of posts, the thousands of views and the fact it's the most popular thread on the forum at the moment. Whilst we're on the subject, are there any other threads you don't like? We can get them all shut at once. Wouldn't want to upset you now...

So you think its a real human looks like that, or you believe in monsters? Anyway it shows up everyday on Saints football forum where all kinds of visiting fans will be thinking f*ck me, you really have got a massive proportion of goons in your fanbase haven't you". Perhaps it needs a new thread.

Kracken, Appreciate your perspective, but you are talking about 'constant comments' - which in reality is how many and from oppo fans? seriously, the bench mark should be what our fans want to do and feck those that are critical - as I said, these sort of snide remarks tend to be fuelled by envy, from a few folk that dont appreciate the value in having an inclusive spirit and identity. I have said its not my bag either, but seeing the scenes at SMS last weekend, Cardiff and Wembley, IS something we should be proud of - and the media suggest that to, if we feel we need for some sort of validation.
suewhistle Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 In the spirit of this thread.. hope it was a sailing boat and not a stink boat.. people shouldn't blah blah blah. ;-)

Perhaps it needs a new thread. Yes, you're right. Having an avatar on an internet mong board is exactly the same thing as wearing a similar costume to a football ground. My name is also T Kraken, hence my username being very similar. Forgive my mistake.

It is noticeable that we do have a large proportion of fancy dressers and face painted adults amongst our fan base. I'm pretty sure its not envy that is fuelling the comments, if I'm honest.
suewhistle Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 You know it was Evans, don't be embarrassed Suzy. You seem an expert. Don't think so, maybe when I stop playing sport and put on weight. Until then I'll leave the place to you.

I wont be happy until you change it for a picture showing somebody wearing stylish clothes of credible brands, in beige (sorry Caribbean caramel), white (ice white) or grey (moondust).

I quite agree, as an example of what I have to put up with I was sent a text whilst I was at the Blackpool away game from a fam of antoher club I know of a picture of a group of our fans in gimp suits with another dressed as a woman and the comment "I'm not sure which is funnier your embarassing fans or seeing you get dicked"
