Saint J 77 Posted 25 July, 2012 Share Posted 25 July, 2012 I've got to say, I don't much care for the term Scum to describe us. Up until "The Skate debate" some years ago now, it was always a name I associated with Pompey and its fans. Although I now have conformed to call them Skates, in my heart they will always be the true scum because lets face it, that is what they truly are!

Asked me where my tractor was. Jesus H. Christ, do I miss the days when our "army" was mainly dockers in their late twenties, with arms built up by unloading tonnes of bananas off the Cape boats. We didn't need banners to warn away fans to expect a quick chase back to the Central Station. Spurs, Millwall, West Ham, Man U??

When did we turn from being one of the most feared away days in England to a stadium full of bulbs in clown suits and road cone hats? Containerisation didn't help. Southampton then turned into a city of insurance salesmen and shop workers. I have an old 8mm film I filmed of an away day to Ipswich in the early 70's. The town was totally wrecked, cars turned over and all because one of our lads (Jimmer, I believe) got stabbed by the pikey c* nts. The film makes "Green Street" look like a trip to Legoland. You are right, Southampton fans were mature, hard and didn't take any sh !t from the London clubs or from those up North. Now it's all banners and bull sh!t. Maurice the Mallet was a chippie who used to wear his bib and braces to the Dell, after work. He got his name from his habit of taking a mallet along with him. Dougall used to grab an opposing fan and Maurice would lay him out with his mallet. Sh !t i miss those times. It was like being in the army....

My memory of being in the Army is of fearing that I may die at any minute buy sniper , worrying that I may not wake up due to stray shelling, being scared the aircraft coming over the hill may be be an enemy, or a friendly that mistakenly attacks us, or I may never see my family again. Or worrying that the men under my command might not live to see another day. But nothing like you experienced. My Hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brussels Saint Posted 25 July, 2012 Share Posted 25 July, 2012 This is all very well, but we need to bring our level of menace up to date and reflect the true nature of the clubs ownership and our Executive Chairman. A mallet in the head? No, No No.........now we abduct them in the middle of the night, put their head in a vice, extract some teeth and finally garotte them. The decapitated head should then be sent in the post to a "fans representative" from the opposing club, decorated in a Saints wig. I doubt we would then get much problem during the following fixture. Together as one. Alternatively we could just make a banner. I'm fine with either approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 25 July, 2012 Share Posted 25 July, 2012 Go on... My first and last post before they ban me will be short and sweet. No-one that calls themselves a football fan should come on here and take the p!ss at the moment, least of all one from Brighton. If you were a true fan, you would remember the time that Bill Archer sold the Goldstone Ground for a DIY store in 1997 and you were left without a ground until a true Brighton fan built you a new one last year. I am a Saints fan second, but a football fan first and no one on here deserves anything but support for the terrible time they are going through. So, I think it it time you f***ed off back to Brighton to get bent with your mates, because no real fan should put up with your sh !t.... ...banter is alright, but no gayboy from Sussex takes on football fans from Hampshire, either from Portsmouth or Southampton. Divided we stand, united we fall... and Play Up Pompey.... Right, time for a lesson in the realities of football support in Hampshire. For those that live in the Solent City metropolis and particularly those that were born and brought up here, you would relate to what I am about to post. You see, this skate/scum ****** is just banter from a mindless minority and the truth is far less black and white than this. A couple of stories that will illustrate my point are these: When I was a kid, when I wasn't playing footie, I went to the Dell to watch Southampton. They were my team because they picked me. When they were playing away I often went to Fratton Park to watch Pompey. It was a bigger and better ground than the Dell in those days and I enjoyed the trips. My nephew was born and brought up in Southampton. He did his degree at Portsmouth University, as I did, but he started going to Fratton Park when he was studying there. He has been a Pompey Season Ticket holder ever since. They picked him. The point, for those that are not from around here is that for most people in Hampshire and all the true football fans in the area, is that we are pretty nearly as gutted as you are with the prospect of Pompey going into liquidation. Those that have moved here from somewhere else and picked Pompey to support, rather than the team picking them, just won't get it and the hatred they love to bring along with them is a cancer. I have a feeling that you guys will need all the friends you can get over the next few years. You have more in Southampton than you think and if you need help, all you have to do is ask. Ask Neil Westbrook about the Saints and Pompey fans that raise money together for Smile4Wessex. Never really seen anything but football fans drinking together and raising money along the way. We feel for you and now it has got this bad, it is important to say that... I sponsored Danny Butterfield last season, have 4 season tickets for this season, 2 in corporate and average 5 away games and all the home games since St. Marys Stadium opened. "Red Army" is the chant I hear, together with "Nigel Adkins/Markus Liebherr's Red and White Army". You and ten of your spotty casual mates may try and ramp up the hatred on your awaydays to Bournemouth, chanting Scum Army, but, mate, from a former skinhead who has been in more football riots than you've had w@ nks, your crowd are not hard, you're not hard and that chant is just embarassing. Now jog on before McDonalds find out you're using their computer, rather than serving burgers... The reason this thread was started is because a saints fan referred to themselves as scum on POL.
