Reading this forum you come across a lot of animosity between posters and their different views on Southampton. This makes me wonder if you’ve ever been in a pub before a game; or maybe even at a game itself and fallen out badly with another Saints fan? Sitting in The Chapel I don’t really see much agro between fans, and in pubs beforehand I always seem to get on with fellow Saints fans. I’m interested if this is just an internet problem or if people do get annoyed by other fans opinions in “real life”.

Everybody becomes a bit of a keyboard warrior and says stuff they wouldn't say to someone's face or continues an argument/discussion beyond its natural life. Any troll who says they would say those things in real life is either a liar or they have no friends.

Never. It's football at the end of the day. Disagreed with a builder where I work today about saints but we just had a bit of friendly banter then left. I expect that's the case for most people. Then again, I don't think I've ever met someone like Wes in real life so things may be different if that happened.

Never with an actual friend, this forum is often a collection of strangers who have one common interest, away from here friends will be people with more then just a shared interest but also similar personalities/sense of humours etc.

 

It is therefore more likely that there will be more conflict. There are individuals on here who I sincerely hope that I never meet, it is evident that we would be too different. C'est la vie.

My mate almost had a fight at Highbury when he was having a go at Telfer. Some other Saints fan was getting really angry saying "you don't have a go at your own players" to which my mate replied "but he's f.ucking ****."

 

As it continued my mate realised how much it was annoying this other bloke so carried on to wind him up until he shoved him and threatened to hit him. Eventually it all got calmed down before I started saying how bad Neil McCann was and the bloke stormed off.

 

There were Saints fans fighting at home to Doncaster during the bad times.

 

The 2 blokes (we called them rat boy and spikey haired tw.at) that stood behind us in the Northam when we first moved to St Mary's definitely deserved a slap or ten for being complete and utter cretins. They were the archetypal season ticket waving "didn't see you at so and so away game" types, despite the fact we barely saw them at any away games. Their "finest" moment was in Bucharest when a large group of Saints fans were happily drinking in a pop up bar in the middle of the city when they swaggered in like Oasis wannabees and started kicking stones at the locals who were happily stood watching us all drinking and singing. There had been zero hint of trouble until those goons turned up and ruined it.

 

Amusingly I saw one of them looking all sheepish while being sternly told off in front of his kids by his other half a few months ago.

If I met a real Saints fan in Ohio, I would ravage his butt and ask no questions. He would be my butt buddy regardless of his opinions. Opinions are like buttholes, some are stinky, others are attractive on the right person.

was it Rat Boy, or Spikey Haired Twat? I enjoyed ur story, and need closure on this point pls.

 

Spikey Haired Twat. It was at an ex-Saints charity match.

 

As surprising as it was that he had a partner, I really can't see any women lowering themselves to Rat Boy's level.

Many times, most of them related to them booing our own players back in the dark days.

 

Also told the old c_unt that sits behind me in the Itchen to f_uck off once as he tried sitting me down as everyone else was standing up for the Corner/Penalty, also had to report him for racist abuse of Wanyama once, disgusting individual.

It's much easier to ignore the really obnoxious fans in real life, unless you have a season ticket next to them. Well done BlakeySFC for reporting the racist - that just isn't saintly!

You can fundamentally disagree with someone, but as long as they're not being abusive, it's all just about opinions isn't it?

The fat git sat behind me last season. Managed to get to February, before his endless negative carp got the better of my self control. Imagine the bstard lovechild of dalek's and alpine and that's him.

 

Not in block 32 per chance?

 

I almost feel we should name and shame moaning ***s just to see if they are on this board.

That's irrelevant, simply because there are loads of people I wouldn't want to even bother talking to in real life. So I'm forced to read their opinions on here, but that doesn't mean I'd talk to them in person. Those on here that I know in person, we would listen to each other and say to each other's faces if we're talking rubbish.

 

But if I had the misfortune to talking to some of the utter bores on here (and on Twitter), I'd just walk away.

Which part of Ohio do you live in? So I can make sure to avoid you next time I'm up that way!

Many years ago I was always falling out with my dad (RIP) over opinions about a game.

 

Saints is the only thing my dad and i can talk about without falling out. We are divided on every other subject. So thank f00k for SFC!

 

On another note , we are many saints fans in sweden , and everyone has a different home team. We manage to avoid those rivalries and bond on our mutual support of saints.

It's the posters that I have arguments with on TSW, that I reckon I would have a good laugh with in real life! Bit of a spark n that. Sadly I am very much the same pr!ck/wonderful human being (delete as applicable) in real life as I am on here.

 

This really. Probably completely different off here and I know a few who are tw*ts on here but a great laugh in real life.

I fell out with John Boy Saint. He gawped & drooled all through the first half of a match 2 years ago when I had to send Mrs D_P up to his part of the Chapel cos could a seat together.

 

Watch out for him, nasty piece of work.

 

I think I fell out with Minty or someone in Benali's after the first forum match but I have no idea how who or why. In fact the only way I know I went there was 'coz I found a receipt a few weeks later.

 

Oh and I fell out with one poster who borrowed some cash from me in "desperation". He pleaded poverty, then turned up at the last game of a season giving it large in a Tux and waving Champers at people. Him? No problem, been describing him to a few of my buddies up in central Iraq at the moment. Karma will be a b1tch for him of PTS levels.

 

Oh, and once I get farking paypal to work you lot will ALL fall out with me.

 

There is a Golf Thread coming to TMS within the next 4 weeks.... (Anyone spot my mate Tiger Ice Bucketing Rory today?)

 

Loved how Rory nominated George W Bush and then kaboom -

Everybody becomes a bit of a keyboard warrior and says stuff they wouldn't say to someone's face or continues an argument/discussion beyond its natural life. Any troll who says they would say those things in real life is either a liar or they have no friends.

 

I'm sorry but when you live abroad and everyone thinks we are little Southampton and then the only other Saints fan (english - otherwise i wouldn't give a toss) in the place is a complete ****ed up dribbling, embarrassing bellend then you have to step in and tell him what's what in a manner that, hopefully, prevents further embarrassment amongst those Johnny Foreigners who are questioning their Liverpool allegiance. Graceful behaviour and building on the rep we have, without doubt, garnered in recent times is the only way we are gonna bring the plastics over to our side. More plastics = more ££ and more chance of coverting into long term fans.

 

i didn't think that all through at the time of course but i was horrified that a Saints fan could be such a tit, enough to step in.

While I was just an observer, at the home match against Everton this past April an old man starts to hobble past our row at the 86th minute. From behind me I hear "sit down, get out the way! Give it a full 90!" The old man, with cane in hand, squeals back "I got a bum leg!" To my horror not only was the pensioner being yelled at for trying to safely leave the stadium before a mad rush ensued, the barbaric people of Hampshire purposely stuck those with handicaps in the top rows. I thought here are two Saints barking at each other when we pulled off a magnificent 2-0 win to deny Everton Champions League play (we're havin a larff). While the encounter may have ended when the pensioner flipped him the bird and told him to **** off, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I now look at the British people in a different light.

 

:lol:

*** I do not view the people of Great Britain in any foul light and only have the greatest respect for them. I tell this story when I can and while it's only really funny to me, I laugh every time.

The only one I have fallen out with was a chap at West Brom away last season, who spent most of the first half absolutely bellowing:

 

"IRA ****! TERRORIST SCUM! PADDY ******! IRA ****ER!" at.... oh, erm.... Shane Long.

 

That's not really true is it

Not really a falling out, but had a few choice words with a Saints fan at City away for shouting some pretty nasty and ignorant stuff at Yaya. Granted, Yaya was being an utter tit, but the things this guy was saying (generally racist - black/african type stuff) were totally not on.

 

Though, I rarely come across other Saints in real life. It's why I put up with you lot.

There are no entry requirements for being a football fan. Remember seeing some 45 yr old matey off his face up North fronting the hardest 13 year olds Oldham had to offer.

 

Exceptions.

Hope you reported him to the authorities.

 

Also seen a few homophobic posts on this thread, no need for it at all, cut it out eh chaps?

At the end of the day, it's 22 blokes being paid obscene amounts for kicking an inflated piece of plastic around....you want real life, open the paper and you might see something of genuine importance....if anything, sport matters to many as an escape from 'real life', and as such, needs a bit of perspective.....

Many football fans are ignorant, arrogant dullards. This includes Saints fans and quite large sections of my family!

 

Thinking about it, before 'the emancipation' - World in Motion, Stone Roses, WSC, 442 etc, you'd struggle to find an average fan who wasn't a jerk.
