Legod Third Coming Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Ok, tin hat time. If you go along to a game and sing about Rupert Lowe, I genuinely don't mind. What I do mind is the people who go along and sit on their hands as if to say - "Right, I've bought my ticket for the stalls, thrill me." WTF is that all about? If you go and don't intend to clap or sing, or scream abuse, why the hell are you at a football game??? So please, if you are one of these types, can you bring a rattle for the Swansea game. Oh, and why do old people moan on ALL the time about our level of ability?? You'd think they never heard of Benali... I think before every game the stewards should ask a simple question like 'how are you?' and all those who start whinging about their backs, or the economy, or the weather should have their season tickets revoked.
Griffo Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I fully agree. Away days when I end up having to sit down, because of some moaning old git that just wants to sit there and clap when we score, ****s me off. I tend to move up the back nowadays anyway.
Mr X Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Don't you think its peoples right to do what ever the hell they want at a game, they've paid their money same as the rest of us, I doubt they paid it to have someone preach at them about what they can and can't do

In Rome it is customary to make some NOISE!!!!!!

Away days when I end up having to sit down, because of some moaning old git that just wants to sit there and clap when we score, ****s me off. I tend to move up the back nowadays anyway. That's the best thing about away ames in this league. The packed lunch/flask and slippers crowd can sit down near the front and only cheer when we score while people who want to stand and sing can go to the back of the stand.

Don't get me started on people telling me to sit down at an away game. :mad:
SaintRobbie Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Fans who whinge about fellow fans. What are they all about!?
Wes Tender Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 We do have some crap fans............and they sit in the Director's box
Legod Third Coming Posted 26 January, 2009 Author Posted 26 January, 2009 We do have some crap fans............and they sit in the Director's box They're not even fans!!!!!!!
Legod Third Coming Posted 26 January, 2009 Author Posted 26 January, 2009 Fans who whinge about fellow fans. What are they all about!? Only bettered by fans who moan about moaning fans in my book!! Seriously though, why do you go if you're one of the Marcel Marceau brigade??
Griffo Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I agree, I just don't like the fact that a large percentage of our support that is like that. (The packed lunch prawn sandwich brigade). Whilst we still do sing a fair amount, not many do for 90 minutes. I wish our support was better tbh.

Oooohhhh oooohhhh, look at me, look at me. I'm a supa dupa and want everyone else to know. Loser.
knellster Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Yeah we do have some crap fans. For example those that jeered Fuller for no reason other than he used to play for the Skates, and those who only think it's ok to support Saints in a certain way. For years I used to come home from games unable to talk 'cos I'd been singing so much, but I'm a lot older now and I'm more concerned with watching the game. Someone asked "why do you go if you're one of the Marcel Marceau brigade?" and someone else complained about people telling him to sit down. Well maybe you've always been in good health and you're still young, but there are people who for one reason or another are unable to jump about and sing all day - should we ban them from SMS? As I have posted on here once before, my dad's last day on this earth was watching Saints at Fulham, but since he could do little more than just sit there and watch the game it seems that people on here think he shouldn't have been allowed to go. Well sorry but that's just b0ll0cks.
Legod Third Coming Posted 26 January, 2009 Author Posted 26 January, 2009 Oooohhhh oooohhhh, look at me, look at me. I'm a supa dupa and want everyone else to know. Loser. No homework tonight?? Pillock.

It's not like 5,000 are having trouble with their health is it? IMO they paid their money they can watch the footie however they like as long as it's lawful. Their choice.

Legod Third Coming Posted 26 January, 2009 Author Posted 26 January, 2009 IMO they paid their money they can watch the footie however they like as long as it's lawful. Their choice. They can. I wonder if they went to the Kop on one of those great European nights and sat on their hands, whether anyone would ever have heard "You'll Never Walk Alone" and whether the hairs on the back of a million football necks around the world would have stood as one as a result. What do you reckon?
Redondo Saint Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 IMO they paid their money they can watch the footie however they like as long as it's lawful. Their choice. I agree. Those that wish to stand and sing for 90 mins go ahead. There is no defined set of rules for behavior at SMS, other than it must be lawful. I also think that sitting down and saying little, it better than standing up and moaning about the manager, board and tactics during the game.

What do you reckon? Are you suggesting that Liverpool do not have their fair share of quiet fans? Are you also comparing us to Liverpool? I would like to see what their support would be like if they had been through what we've been through!
Griffo Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I can't see why some people would rather sit there and clap when we score, rather than go ****ing nuts, and sing for 90 minutes, and have a bit of banter with opposition fans aswell. Fair enough if health is bad, but some of our support is so boring. However we do sing a lot, and noise wise we are very, very good.

I also think that sitting down and saying little, it better than standing up and moaning about the manager, board and tactics during the game. That's why we need a test on the gate. If we discover you're a moaner, banned for life. It's what the manager wants, after all.

What do you reckon? I'm sure that when we achieve greatness along the lines that Liverpool enjoy, the stadium will certainly be full of the loudest, happiest fans in the land. We gained massive praise for our support at Cardiff in 03. We also gave very creditable support as recently as the last day of last season. I reckon that when we've got something to cheer about, we will. At the moment we have very little to cheer about, not even a manager in the Shankly mould who knew what he was about.

Fair enough if health is bad, but some of our support is so boring. However we do sing a lot, and noise wise we are very, very good. People express their support in different ways. Some people wear replica shirts, some listen on the radio and maybe go to SMS once or twice a year (like my Dad). Some people stand up, some sit down, some just post on here. It's not up to anyone else to label someone support crap just because it is different to their own.
Mole Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I consider the entire Kingsland to be populated with crap fans.

manzo Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I think that it's fair to label people who spend the entire game audibly moaning as **** fans. They're hardly supporting, are they?
70's Mike Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 (edited) tough one seems to me that the level of vocal support is directly proportional to the level of achievement on the pitch. do well every one sings OWTSGMI, STRUGGLE down to the young or supporters from the 60's to 80's. The original thread mentioned Benali , the club needs a cult hero not necessarily a great passer etc but a blo*dy trier who gives his all even if he makes the occasional **** up Individual circumstances change, i used to stand on the Archers with my 9 year old , 12 years ago, then i was diagnosed with leukaemia and i could not physically stand for that long, so the club let us move to the Milton , i just learnt to sing sitting down and jump up for goals etc. Edited 26 January, 2009 by 70's Mike

Mole Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Oi - that is where I sit - did you not mean the Chapel... Nope, the Kingsland support has always been cringeworthy. The Chapel used to make an effort but now no-one sits there.
70's Mike Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Not too much like Franny then Mike!!!! but he kept trying and imo his blocks along with Dodd were nearly important as MLT's goals in keeping us up.
hypochondriac Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I consider the entire Kingsland to be populated with crap fans. I'm only there because they forced me to move from my seat in the Itchen! I'll be back in the Itchen next season anyway.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I blame those gits in the Chapel .
Block 5 Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I've never met a Scouser who could sit on his hands. Well, unless in the back of a panda car obviously. Nowadays they ask you to put your hands on the back of the seat in front of you mate. So that you don't stuff anything down the back of your seat. Allegedly.
Plumstead_Saint Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I can't see why some people would rather sit there and clap when we score, rather than go ****ing nuts, and sing for 90 minutes, and have a bit of banter with opposition fans aswell.

So basically, you cannot understand anyone who thinks or feels differently to you? Thanks for sharing that.

rocknrollman no2 Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 here we go....the northam are the best fans!!! yawn:smt015:smt015 Im not saying we are the best,but we sure are the loudest!
eelpie Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Wotte needs to show some positive vision - and fast - if he is to gain fans respect. He could start by recalling Dyer. Imagine the roar if Dyer were to take the field against Swansea, having knocked Poopsey out of the Cup. We need a morale boost, and someone who has found his scoring touch. Bring Dyer back. Lets see if our 'crap' fans can forgive and forget.
krissyboy31 Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I will sing songs that get behind the team. I WILL NOT sing anti-Pumpey songs (during the game) or "We're the (sodden) ****** over here" because they've got f-all to do with the game. The trouble is because Southampton supporters have next to no imagination, that pretty much leaves us with "OWTS" and "Come on you Reds".
s0108787 Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Im not saying we are the best,but we sure are the loudest! tbf there is NO questioning that.

krissyboy31 Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 (edited) must be the younger generation we had plenty of imagination in the 60's and 70's well i think it was imagination And in the eighties! Now, every "new" song is plagiarised from somewhere else. Absolutely no originality!! With exception of "Swing Lowe" of course. Edited 26 January, 2009 by krissyboy31
Give it to Ron Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 I consider the entire Kingsland to be populated with crap fans. I consider the Northam to be full of 12 year old chavs....this generalisation game is great isn't it! Thanks for confirming everything I thought about you.
saintwarwick Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Im not saying we are the best,but we sure are the loudest! Absolutely and I don't sit there.

Saint_Jonny Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Yaaaay a im a better fan than you thread because I do such and such and I dont agree with what you do at a game of football! YAYYYAAYAAY!11!!1
buctootim Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 When I was 20 I used to get beered up and stand and sing the whole game. Now I'm in my 40s and take my kids, I dont drink as much and sit down more. Is that okay or do I have to apologise to someone? Or maybe people are different kinds of fans at different times of their lives.
derry Posted 26 January, 2009 Posted 26 January, 2009 Hands up those who sing, 'Who are you' and 'one nil, one nil' at the away supporters and shut up when the equaliser goes in five mins later.
