Tom8558 Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 It strikes me as odd that whenever anyone mentions them they are redirected to "the" thread and moaned at.

That doesn't mean it is seen as a "bad thing", just that these forums are organised so they don't become a mess and have all subjects in the same forum. It is better if topics are separated so you can find them more easily. Edited 24 March, 2013 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 Because no matter how far down on the evolutionary scale they are, they are still classed as homo-sapien and we should still love them as our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwaysaint Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 If you want to show your dislike for pompey, surely the most effective thing to do is just ignore them and make it clear how irrelevant they've become. When I first started posting on forums, pompey had been below us for ages and, aside from a little banter on the ugly, they were rarely mentioned and they seemed to hate that. Then they went above us and since then they've taken up a huge part of the posts on here. When we were on top we ignored them, then people got a bit obsessed when they overtook us. Now we're on top again it's fading more and more. There are a few who haven't got over that bitterness and still go on about them, but they've got their own thread, which, if I were a pompey fan, would find comforting, that some saints fans still see them as in some way important and spend time thinking about them.

dronskisaint Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 Personally I don't want this main board tainted by them, as simple as that for me. Happy to ridicule, abuse, mock and despise elsewhere...only want to see their name on here when we next play them and that will be a long time methinks!

david in sweden Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 I don't like the word " hate" . it's a bit better to fall back on a Germanic word like " Schadenfreude "....which roughly-speaking means ....." taking joy in someone else's misfortune." .and which is little worse than the way they treated us in 2009..........better still that they survive... and descend into L2.. and maybe even further ...and end up playing Havant & Waterlooville in the Conference.....or Salisbury and Eastleigh in the Southern section, that is unless those two clubs don't pass them ..on the way up ...... Longer term....there maybe a lot more satisfaction in not having them suddenly disappear overnight and just remembered as a bad memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croydonsaint Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 It strikes me as odd that whenever anyone mentions them they are redirected to "the" thread and moaned at. Admittedly I don't have much time for them but why is it deemed a bad thing to hate them? Am I the only person that just finds it odd that any one wants to "hate or ridicule" any one whether its another set of supporters, in our case Portsmouth . I am a saints fanatic and have been for over 40 years but at the risk of being insulted and probably ridiculed, it just feels such a moronic thing. Is it about the need to feel part of a group and that is cemented by a "shared enemy". Well sorry it just bores me. Do you think its taking it too far when I say that it feels similar to having say a general hate of immigrants, or Moslems etc.etc. I know part of the supporting thing is as much the banter as to enjoy the game being played but I have read on this site, even on this thread such silly comments about hating Portsmouth.

solentstars Posted 24 March, 2013 Share Posted 24 March, 2013 I don't hate Pompey but love the banter and its nice winding up my Pompey mates for most of my life being the top club post war in the region.

pap Posted 25 March, 2013 Share Posted 25 March, 2013 The Pompey hate has bothered me for years. Got quite a few real life mates who'd devote quite a bit of their time to hating Pompey. From my perspective, seems like another time commitment on top of supporting Saints and the fact of the matter is that I have stronger feelings about Saints fans who spend all their time goading Pompey fans. Yes, yes - I understand that a section of their fans were very gloaty when we were in the sh!t, but if you're having a pop at those people, you're essentially a reaction to a group of idiots.

Fu.ck them and everything about that dirty scummy sh.ithole of a town "With the most respect in the world", you have completely failed to read or understand anything he's posted. The original question was "why is hating the Skates frowned upon on here?", to which the correct answer is "it isn't frowned upon, but only Saints related things get posted on the Main Board, that's why the thread is somewhere else". Which is what MLG basically said. And then you went off on a complete mental at him for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What saddens me is although I am sure you only posted that to wind people up, there are people that really do have those kind of thoughts in real life. Why would any body want to hate a group of people, in this case Portsmouth fans, just because they support a different team to us. Wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good idea - we could take the "S" and the "outh" from their name and the "ampton" from ours, the red from our shirts and the white from their shorts to make our shirts, plus the black from our (usual) shorts and the red from their socks. Obviously we'd play at the bigger ground... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
