Observations of fellow supporters

First off, I thought the support was pretty good today, lots of singing, support for the team and the odd bit of backing for Nigel, all very good. However, here are a few observations of some less than inspiring people around me today...

 

On hearing a child crying during the two minute silence, one man managed to muster all the intelligence of someone with severe brain damage to yell 'SHUT UP YOU C*NTS', in an effort to preserve the two minute's silence and its values. Congratulations to that man, you've done the country proud and all those brave men did not die for nothing. You made your point with all the charm of Wordsworth. Bravo.

 

Classic abuse for Guly despite the fact he was nowhere near the pitch, that was good. Wonder if it would be said to his face, most likely not.

 

Honourable mention to the man near to me dishing out advice like 'TACKLE HIM!' or 'PASS THE BALL!', though I fear it may be lost on our players. Perhaps shouts of 'BREATHE IN!', 'BREATHE OUT!', 'KICK IT!' would be better.

 

Also, smoking in the stands, never the cleverest idea. Whoever you are, about ten people were reporting it to a steward at full time, good luck in attending the next game or indeed any others this season.

 

Far be it from me to also question the attendance of other supporters - it's something I hate to hear, all this 'you're only ere coz we're in the prem' - but if you're a season ticket holder, what is the actual point of turning up ten minutes late, leaving your seat with 25 minutes on the clock, getting back in the 60th minute and leaving in the 80th minute, every single game? What are you actually paying to see exactly? Against Villa, I almost missed Mayuka's run into the box because the supporter in question actually decided it was a good time to go. Leaving the game when we're on the attack with time left on the clock? Really?!

I think thats the only bit in your post that's unfair. I get really twitchy at a game and half rise out of my seat to head the ball, or kick the person next to me: a bit like screaming on the roller'coaster to let out the tension...

I can understand that, honest I can, but every time? I think that's annoying, personally.

I wonder what the idiots who left before half time in the arsenal reading carling cup game thought when they got home and found out they had won.

 

Priceless

 

Knowing Reading as I do, it's full of Arsenal fans, they were probably home within two minutes, saw Arsenal were getting back into it and headed back to the Madejski to see if they could get in again...

I always get mad when I see fans leaving after 35 mins to get their pie and pint - but on a previous thread some wise person said that they've paid their money so they are free to do what they like, and if that includes missing 10 mins of the first half then so be it!

 

 

+1. And if they scuffle across all those cretins still watching the last ten minutes of the half, (pffft!!! Fools!!), then so be it. You'd almost think they were there to watch a game of football rather than eat and drink the finest victuals the south coast has to offer.

blah blah blah

In case any of you want a quick summary of the OP, it can pretty much be summed up as follows;

Today’s game,

 

Good points

  • Good support and getting behind the team and Nigel

 

Bad points

  • Out of the 30,000ish crown one man was disrespectful during the minutes silence
  • Some people once again disrespected Guly
  • Some people had the nerve to try and verbally advise players how to play
  • some people smoked in the stand and were grassed up (probably not by the original poster as he’d rather complain about it on the internet)
  • Also (and this probably hasn’t ever been raised before), some fans had the nerve to arrive late, go down for a beer before the half time whistle and leave before the end

Yeah I mean you're mainly right, but with regards to the smoking, I was simply saying it's a stupid thing to do. It is isn't it, when it's banned and it's quite easy to be caught?

Are you talking in code or are you genuinely a moron?

 

 

 

School playground rules aside, no, I didn't.

 

 

Nope just been popping on and off this site for a few years and seeing cocks who post thousands of posts normally ****e who probably have never been involved in a conversation with anyone face to face and think they can preach to everyone

Of course, but seriously, is complaining on here going to change anything? I'd like to complain about people farting at the football, but if people can’t wait until they get outside to guff, someone moaning about it on here won’t make them change (although I conceed farting hasn't been made illegal yet). Some people smoke most weeks when in the ground, yet they are still there the next week.

No preaching from you, then. Good work.

If said supporter in question leaves on 80 minutes every single game how come he was there in the 90th minute when Mayuka made the run. Weird ;-)

Its not illegal to fart, but it probably is illegal to take a big sh it on one of the seats. Would you complain if someone did that? What if someone raped you, would you complain then?

The original post and everything after it misses 2 important points. Firstly, if you pay your money to go in the ground you a have a choice to observe/comment/behave as you see fit - provided, yes, provided, it does not break the law and offend other people. You may not like it..... and if you don't..... go and live in Afghanistan - impose your way of life on others..... and see how that will go down. Secondly, the amount of utter gobs****e spouted on this website never ceases to amaze me but nevertheless there is an outlet for it and people read and respond to it (me included). It is called a democracy. Live in Helmand and see which you prefer.

 

There was a minutes silence for a reason. People die unfortunately to experience it. BTW Crazy Diamond - I think the shout you heard was aimed at the drunks in the Northam End bar not the 2 kids crying their eyes out.

 

The word is Tolerance.

You make some good points here. Has the sh it been done on my seat or someone else’s? If mine I'd probably email the club to complain, then when they didn't respond I would phone them to complain. I'd also take a photo of it to (a) put on here & (b) put on facebook. If it was on someone else's seat I think I'd just go for the photo options and let them complain if they wanted to.

As for the raping thing, I suppose it'd depend on who the raper was. If it were a handsome fella such as Turkish I'd probably consider myself lucky I'd been chosen and got some good manly action. However if it were a big fat old football man, breathing his beer breath down my neck I probably wouldn't be so happy in which case I'd probably email the club to complain, then when they didn't respond I would phone them to complain. I also complain on here, but in this case I’d keep the photos to myself!

The sh it is on your seat and it was done by Turkish after he raped you.

Where would you rather live - helmand or Josef fritzls basement?

 

I suppose unless you were related to fritzl, living in his basement wouldn't actually be an issue. So I'll go with fritzls basement.

 

Regular meals delivered, sheets cleaned on a regular basis, ideal

true, I like to think the best of our fans and tell myself this doesn't happen, however I expect this does happen all the time, people just don't want to admit it

 

It does happen. it happened to you. You've just buried it. It's time to face the truth. The shame isnt yours, you are the victim.
