Saint Charlie Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 There is guy I see who never actually watches the game, he listens to it on Solent and stares at the floor most of the game Also anyone who falls into these more general categories is odd IMO: 1.) Missing the start of the second half because they are too worried about drinking awful beer. Have a look a yourself. 2.) Leaving before the end, especially when the result is hanging in the balance. Even more so when half of these people don't seem to have much urgency about themselves i.e they don't seem to be rushing off to catch a train or anything.

pingwing Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 The people who leave bang on 80 mins annoy me, that's far too much of a game to miss. Same token the people who are there more than 10 mins before the game are really odd... Also that man I sat in front of last season that went on and on about how he hated Guly, especially when he scored. The Millwall game at home he turned around and proclaimed he could have scored that and a better footballer like Chaplow could have gotten a hattrick from them....

The most bizarre thing for me is that so many people can go to a live football match and sit in almost silence for 90 minutes. Wake up and get involved FFS.

Even more annoying is the people who leave on 35 mins to desperately get something to eat/drink from the concourse...as if beating the que to fill their faces at 3:40pm is more important than the game itself. Bizarre missing a chunk of the football to eat at that time. Do these people leave their work at 3:40pm to **** off for some lunch and grab a burger? It's neither lunch or dinner time at this time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safely done from 50 yards away , a fence and 100 policemen inbetween. At the final whistle at White Hart Lane, I quite enjoyed seeing two tossers shouting at eachother about how they would see eachother outside, whilst each standing a metre away from a waist height fence and with nobody in between them. It was particularly awkward as clearly neither really wanted a fight, but neither wanted to back down and the stewards to ages to come over so they just stood there shouting "come on then!" at eachother for a couple of minutes.

Saint Charlie Posted 9 May, 2013 Author Share Posted 9 May, 2013 One of the finest bad habits goes something like this: Clueless spectator moans at Cork and Schneiderlin for passing backwards to the defence in order to keep the ball and move the opposition about. Shouts of "Get it forward!" can be clearly heard. Three minutes later Hooiveld has the ball at his feet and launches it into the channel for Lambert/Rodriguez to run onto. It goes over his head and straight out of play for a goal kick. The same neanderthal that was screaming to get it forward is now moaning for us to "Keep the blaady ball." Happens multiple times per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 I've never understood why anyone leaves before the end of the game, unless we are getting dominated which makes some sense to me. Like... was this football match a blip in your day? An interruption? I am at St Mary's to see my team play and support them as best I can... I will stay for 90 minutes, soak up the atmosphere, make a day of it. People take it for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so when half of these people don't seem to have much urgency about themselves i.e they don't seem to be rushing off to catch a train or anything. The only 2 games I've ever walked out of early (88 mins odd) was and England friendly vs Sweden at wembely, it was freezing and only had a t-shirt and jumper on. The other was this season at Leeds, when the 2nd went in I just left, didn't see the point in joining in shouting abuse at the players so just left, worse game of football I've ever seen us play, ever, fact. Can't see the point in leaving early, get you money's worth and all that. Edited 9 May, 2013 by Saints boy in Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 Not sure this counts as bizarre, but it does count as bloody rude. If you want to get to - or leave - your seat for any reason while the game is on, wait for the ball to go dead. I've had people pushing past me as a corner is taken, when the chance of the ball going dead within 5 seconds is pretty high. Stand in the gangway and f***ing wait!

UpweySaint Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 I would throw in i've left a midweek evening kick off five minutes early in order to catch a train and I imagine some have genuine reasons for needing to beat the rush, quite why there is often such a mass exodus mind simply to not have to wait to get out of the concourse is beyond me ... As far annoying habits, people slagging off the same player all game no matter what they do. One particularly large lady spent an entire ninety calling Rickie a "fat lazy c**t" and couldn't understand why he didnt spend the entire game closing down everyone on the pitch and scoring from every other touch ... the chap next to her looked thoroughly, she may not be brought back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webby Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 Arriving late and leaving early bugs me. Guys necking a last minute beer before going to their seats anywhere between kick off and 10mins in. Then, same guys leave after 38 mins to go for a **** and get another beer, consequently arriving back in their seat 5 mins into the second half. Then they leave at 85mins. All in, they probably miss 20-25mins of the game! What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMarlin Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 Not football, but even stranger habits at cricket. When Hampshire were at the old Northlands Road County Ground, a guy and his wife would turn up at every day's play. They would grab a seat by the fence in the old pavilion, just under the old dressing rooms, for those that remember the ground. He would get a scorebook out, and a selection of coloured pens. He would then proceed to meticulously score the game in his book. Every single dot ball, run, extra would be recorded in a different coloured ink, and the pages were a work of art. However, having taken the greatest pains during the course of his day, at 6pm he would close his book, pack up his pens and his missus the sandwich boxes, and off they would go. There might easily be another hours play left, but nope, at 6pm, he closed the book. You have to ask what was the point of labouring all day to keep his book up to scratch, only to snap it shut at 6pm? It's like writing a really important sentence and then not....

The Mac Attack Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 Some of you lot spend so much time on here moaning about others. So what if someone wants to leave a few minutes early at half time to get a beer. It might just be that they enjoy going for a half time pint. That doesn't mean that they are desperately going in search of alcohol trying to cram as much alcohol in their body as possible. It may surprise you to know that some people are happy to miss a few minutes of a game and take the chance of missing a goal. I have done so on a couple of occasions which slightly irked me but I soon forgot about it. If you don't understand why people do something it doesn't mean that's its wrong. Worry more about yourself and less about others and for some of you it may mean that you don't have to spend so many hours a day writing crap posts on this forum.

Golden Balls Posted 9 May, 2013 Share Posted 9 May, 2013 There's a guy who sits in block 41, row KK who spends the whole game waving at someone to his right. He even occasionally makes the Gareth Bale heart hand gesture. Although nobody ever waves back. He's clearly stood on his own so we've come to the conclusion he's trying to make it look like he has mates. He's really odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
