Wiggles31 Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Why are we so awful when the team are struggling, shouting at players, moaning and groaning at everything single thing. Christ can we try and get behind the team a bit better when they're struggling. Worst atmosphere for a while today.
SuperMikey Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Tried starting several songs but nobody was having it today. QPR fans were good - weird because they were completely silent at their place.
ToreSF Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Atmosphere sounded fantastic until qpr scored. From then - very silent.
Didcot Saint Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Probably because everyone was ****ed off and nervous because the game was pants
Saint Garrett Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 It was average. Not awful. Not great. QPR fans were decent but understandable. We were very good at their place an they were awful... Lots of scraps on the road by the king Alfred afterwards. Only saw about 2 policemen.
rshephard3 Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 It's harsh to blame the fans for lack of support when most attacking Saints players couldn't even be bothered to move for one another. I'd say well done for another full house to be honest.
70's Mike Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 why do we have these threads from super fans when we lose
Appy Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 It was shocking. Weren't behind the team until the second half.
Pedro Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 All the anti Rednapp songs inspired them, virtually none supporting our team or players. Terrible atmosphere, should just sing for our team and forget them and Portsmouth.
Andre Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 There was one nutter in our corner going mad at Fonte for very little reason, it did annoy me a bit. Other than that, some players had an awful day at the office... although really we should always be getting behind the boys. A few fights broke out as well, looked like people were jacked up in the wrong way which is always a shame.
Rebel Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Too much anti-Redknapp stuff - seemed to boost their fans and players - and not enough pro-Saints stuff. It played a part.
ant Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Probably because everyone was ****ed off and nervous because the game was pants That's the main time when fans can have an influence and pick a team up, surely? This season the Northam has been the quietest and dullest I've ever known it to be. Sang as much as I could but was literally a lone voice for much of the game. Could hear a bit of noise up at the bac of the stand and some more vocal support from the Kingsland North but overall we bottled it.
um pahars Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 It was average. Not awful. Not great. QPR fans were decent but understandable. We were very good at their place an they were awful... Lots of scraps on the road by the king Alfred afterwards. Only saw about 2 policemen. Thought it would kick off after the game when we walked by 20-30 young Saints lads waiting in alley by railway bridge! My ever so street savvy dad thought they were all waiting for a bus!
Saint Garrett Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 I didn't see too much as there was too many people around but saw lots of people from both sides "looking for it". 2 policemen in between them and a bit of trouble between the groups. One bloke was arrested. Didnt see much else from where I was amongst crowds.
Orange Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Sh*te. Some of the abuse towards Fox was pathetic. Its one thing moaning to yourself/mates, but one bloke in particular in the northam was booing him giving him the ****** sign etc when he was taking a corner or whatever, get a grip you ****ing gimp.
Appy Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Sh*te. Some of the abuse towards Fox was pathetic.

I know exactly who you mean.
Saint_clark Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 I admit, I totally gave up when QPRs second went in.
Crazy Diamond Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 There was one nutter in our corner going mad at Fonte for very little reason, it did annoy me a bit. Other than that, some players had an awful day at the office... although really we should always be getting behind the boys. A few fights broke out as well, looked like people were jacked up in the wrong way which is always a shame. Yes I saw some of this - Kingsland?
Saint_clark Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 That reminds me, anyone know what the two blokes were escorted out for in roughly row L of block 42? Don't think they were being violent as they were calmly led away as opposed to being dragged.
SaintIT Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 All the anti Rednapp songs inspired them, virtually none supporting our team or players. Terrible atmosphere, should just sing for our team and forget them and Portsmouth. This
Saint Garrett Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Was a few fights around today. Just seemed to be a bad atmosphere. Think there were a few QPR fans about row DD of block 37? Is that why the got removed? Black bloke with a hat on and a bald white guy?
Orange Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 I know exactly who you mean. He thought he was such a joker as well. I'd also add isn't the whole 'U.S.A U.S.A' thing a bit sad and unnecessary, what 3 years on?
Ampersound Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 All the anti Rednapp songs inspired them, virtually none supporting our team or players. Terrible atmosphere, should just sing for our team and forget them and Portsmouth. Have to agree with Pedro here. The booing redkrapp during the game wasn't the best idea in the world. It was only going to make the QPR fans sing louder for support of that numpty. Detracting from getting behind the lads.
Crazy Diamond Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Sh*te. Some of the abuse towards Fox was pathetic. Its one thing moaning to yourself/mates, but one bloke in particular in the northam was booing him giving him the ****** sign etc when he was taking a corner or whatever, get a grip you ****ing gimp. Bloke behind me was giving Fox an incredible amount of abuse. Never heard anything like it. To be fair he had a bad game. But yeah...
Orange Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Bloke behind me was giving Fox an incredible amount of abuse. Never heard anything like it. To be fair he had a bad game. But yeah... Agreed, but i'd moan about it to a mate, not boo him off the pitch..
Wiggles31 Posted 2 March, 2013 Author Posted 2 March, 2013 It was flat really from KO. Might of been nerves. Sometimes it frustrating though as you can see the lads needs a lift. All the mongs yelling out abuse at players like Fox and critical comments at any misplaced pass etc. For a game of this magnitude we should really have been right behind the lads in voice. Just didn't happen.
John Boy Saint Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Lawrie Mac always said that the team need to do something to get the crowd going, once they did the place was rocking. Seems like its a genetic flaw in us Saints supporters, so nowt new. The team seemed to be on different hymn sheet today QPR were pretty dire and we sank to their level and as a result so did us supporters. Aint nowt anyone can do about it.
Appy Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 (edited) He thought he was such a joker as well. I'd also add isn't the whole 'U.S.A U.S.A' thing a bit sad and unnecessary, what 3 years on? He did a fake yawn to it at Upton Park last season. He always seems to play a blinder against us too. Edited 2 March, 2013 by Appy
Andre Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Yes I saw some of this - Kingsland? Yeah it was ridiculous, they started fighting at the end for no reason it seemed.
Saints Warrior Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Ok on block 37, but fans realised what was happening on the pitch and you could see QPR scoring with ease on the break which we know Saints cant score more than they let in all the time. Saints fans are realists they see pitch half empty not half full!!! When to football is poor then fans chant about other things going on, I nearly fell a sleep from the side to side and back passing
Tractor_Saint Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 We were OK at points [video=youtube_share;86L9OLgayVU]
Crazy Diamond Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Agreed, but i'd moan about it to a mate, not boo him off the pitch.. Agreed. Yeah it was ridiculous, they started fighting at the end for no reason it seemed. I only caught the aftermath of it, but really, it's a stupid thing to do. A lot of people saw it and can get whoever is responsible banned.
corky morris Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 The best way to have dealt with Redknapp was to ignore him. Thought the fans (& I was one) were at their worst for some time today.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Why are we so awful when the team are struggling, shouting at players, moaning and groaning at everything single thing. Christ can we try and get behind the team a bit better when they're struggling. Worst atmosphere for a while today. Cant help thinking Arry psyched out the Northam ahead of today by highlighting he was expecting a warm welcome. Northam rose to the bait and spent most of the game singing anti Redcrapp songs rather than getting behind the team. Credit to Arry he knows how to take the pressure off his team! No twelfth man today
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Perhaps because we concentrated more on singing anti-redknapp songs then getting behind the team ? Pathetic really
CaneNero Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 As fans we range from **** to average. What's the point of going to a game saying nothing for 90 minutes like 1/2 the fans do. This is actually a leaf we could take out of the skates' book. You can't question their fans are bloody excellent, coming from someone who grew up near Pompey (and in the past been too see a few games).
Saint-Armstrong Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 There was someone behind us racially abusing Pochettino (the whole game), Yoshida and was also making monkey noises. Mentioned it to a steward who stared at the guy. Calling for Pochettino to be shot, shipped out etc for "wanting our islands". Walked off and that was it. Useless.

Andre Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 No place for it in modern football. Or society for that matter.
the saint in winchester Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 It was average. Not awful. Not great. QPR fans were decent but understandable. We were very good at their place an they were awful... Lots of scraps on the road by the king Alfred afterwards. Only saw about 2 policemen. 2? I saw nearer 202 there. Didn't seem to be much trouble going down but the police were treating it as a major incident. The QPR fans were celebrating a rare away win, fair enough.
sotonjoe Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 We have so many mong fans it is unbelievable. Fox gets aggro all game for being average then Shaw comes on and has a shocker including giving a goal away and you don't hear a peep. Fox is the new Guly.
Saints foreva Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 Terrible atmosphere today, but tbh it's been **** poor at St. Mary's for some time. I can't recall a decent atmosphere since Coventry at home.
Suomi Saint Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 You can't blame the crowd. They turned up, parted with their hard earned cash, and were subjected to that abysmal display. It's no wonder they didn't feel in the mood to sing. I sat in my front room in Qatar utterly disgusted with MP and his selection/tactics. To be honest, booing and slow-hand clapping would have been in order. It used to happen at The Dell in the old days, even under Lawrie. There is nothing wrong with letting the players/manager know that the performance is not up to standard. They are not beyond reproach and need a real kick up the backside.
niceandfriendly Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 Is that a Pope I can see in the Northam in that video? i'm sure the usual fashion gurus will have a hissy fit over it but that's pretty amusing.
lordswoodsaints Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 If I'm honest our support at home has been woeful all season.....I'm guessing that's the sterile premiership effect.
alehouseboys Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 I would think MP is feeling a little bit stupid and let down today after coming out with the "more passionate than Barca" and 'arry was gonna enter a "hate-fuelled" arena, I feel embarrassed for him. Saggy got out of jail free again. Other than a bit of grief from a few over in the corner the rest of the stadium was as placid as any I've ever been in. The Chapel end of the ground would make more noise if they were cardboard cut-outs rustling in the wind. 3,000 QPR made more noise than 29,000 of our lot in a game where everyone should haven't have needed any other reason to be at it for 90 minutes, we're right back in it now.
Miffy Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 That reminds me, anyone know what the two blokes were escorted out for in roughly row L of block 42? Don't think they were being violent as they were calmly led away as opposed to being dragged. I think they were taken out for drinking, whilst sat in their seats. They weren't bothering anyone.
teamsaint Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 The crowd was so quiet and negative today it was unbelievable. The most dismal atmosphere I can remember in a long , long time.
