The Hotel End

Following BackOfTheNet's dictation from Saturday, I am sure that this thread could be well populated by those who sit near to a person (maybe the same one) who expresses continual bollox aloud...

Love it! This could end up as a longer thread than the redevelopment one....

Same bloke...

And again... ;D

The idiot next to me keeps shouting at the linesman.

The Co@k who sits a few rows behind me in the lower west regularly shouts out the same old s***e every home game...  without fail he will shout CHEAT, CHEAT at the ref or Specsavers which is another favourite of his.

This guy never seems happy unless he is having a go and its normally in the direction of the referee...


Mate if you are reading this this feel embarrassed as i bet your misses does as she is sat next to you!

A couple of games ago I was asked to sit down and shut up whilst joining in with songs, I had to move seats when the same people were standing up to moan at the ref and Lino.

Cant stand listening to whingers who don't get behind the team.

I have one near me who used to constantly shout forward and moan about every side ways pass. Now he is on board with our current tactics he is constantly shouting pass it and moans about every hoof. Really do not get why he bothers. He was moaning Saturday before we had kicked off.

Well it was only 0 - 0 and everybody knows you should be putting at least three past Barnet.

Was that the Pompey game in the North?

Haha Yes, I take it your the bloke who was laughing saying "Had enough ?" as I left.

We were stood behind you joining in the singing, I wondered where you were going and why you didn't return.  My daughter said that you had been getting hassle from the woman sat next to you, who remained seated for the majority of the match, I think she was missing her knitting!
 

I just moved to the steps in the middle.

I was making such an effort to stay seated that I was having my own view blocked when they stood up for chances.

Oh god.... the amount of idiots that sit near me, it's so embarrassing.

People not having a clue about football etc etc... worst ones are when they go mad at the ref and it's clearly not a foul, tragic.

I'm sure we all have claret tinted spectacles but you hear some people who are so biased in what they see you think they must be delusional - every challenge from an opposing player is either worthy of a yellow or a red and every challenge from one of ours "Never touched him, ref!"

Haha yeah exactly, it's so funny sometimes.

I keep quiet, unless they ask for my opinion...

Not to do with the football itself but there was some clown that sat near where I was until I moved that would bellow "Dave" at some poor bloke every week whenever he walked past at the end of the game. Poor sod had to politely smile every week while probably think "Oh shut up you cretin, it wasn't funny 4 seasons ago"
I bet it's one of you lot as well.

He still shouts this with a few others joining in

From a few weeks back I was treated to this...


I have managed to avoid them since , maybe I will strike lucky this Saturday.

Well, if the standard of our football drops off then at least the entertainment from the stands should go up to compensate. I must admit, I have quite enjoyed some p*ss poor games in the past when I've been surrounded by loud, negative, know it alls.

A lot of people seem to just shout out stuff they've heard on the telly. One bloke near me screamed "YOU SHOULD NEVER LET IT BOUNCE" when the ball bounce about 40 yards in front of Cresswell the other day.

I wonder how many of these lines come from the knob who sits in the West Upper (south ).
He constantly berates fellow supporters for not singing,all linesman and refs come in for large amounts of abuse because he can't get his head around the rules of the game.
On Saturday he got so excited his poor little brain went into meltdown, he so wanted to have a go at somebody but didn't know who, so just it just came out as " you fcuk, fcuking, fcuk, fcuker, fcuk,"
You can be sure that he doesn't post on here as his inbred brain wouldnt be able to cope with signing on.

tcobb......

Are you sure that wasn't Jeema?!   ;D

I remember sitting behind him at the Cambridge away game this season with my 'ole Dad and there was a middle aged lady sat right next to Jeema......
Suffice to say, watching the woman's facial expressions, and my Dad turning purple with stifled laughter was more entertaining than the game that day, especially after Dunk scored for them......

Jeema seemed to have an in built hatred towards this player and for the rest of the match, every 30s to 1 min, he kept alternately mumbling and then screaming at the top of his lungs "You f*ing piece of sh*t Dunk!"
"You are a f*ck*ng C*nt Dunk!" and other such snippets.

They seemed to squirt out like the eruption of a volcano, that could not possibly be kept in.

If I didn't know any better, I would fear for the poor mans sanity!   ;)

My own Jeema related one....

No not Jemma, Jemma is class compared to this other inbred.

Hopefully this chap hasn't got a ticket for the FA Cup game as him and his mate were in the Tull before the game saying they hadn't got one yet.
Also saw him in the Tull a couple of weeks back with some woman who could have been his wife or sister, although I think he is the type who would care either way  ;D

think your talking about gary the one who fu**ed about at stevenage last year with their keeper towards the end of the game when giving him the ball back which led to them getting the winning goal boy did he get some stick for that and still does

Last match I had the misfortune to sit very close to the clown in West Stand seat Q130 who thinks he is some sort of football coaching expert. Irritating little twerp kept screaming "give and go!", "go wide!", and other such gems.

I am that man (sic apologies to Sparticus)

I had read it before but today I was in the middle of receiving a pretty dour presentation when I started to read it again, I had to stop reading as the others couldn't understand what I just started laughing...

Whats the name of the geezer with tourettes who sits in the west (north end), he wears his work boots, a long blue rain coat and beatles hair. He has to be the funniest critic at sixfields and he sits in the current family enclosure  :o

That's him

I've sat directly behind him before. We were beating Oxford 1-0 and he stormed out the ground in a massive rant!

Makes me laugh, although the look on the parents faces when he lets loose would kill him if they. >:(

Loved reading this thread - nice to know this stuff happens at real clubs too!

I'll share one from the Winkeldome - there's a young lad of about 16 or 17 a couple of rows in front of me who spends the entire game either screaming the C-word at EVERY refereeing decision that goes against us or giving the coffee bean shake to the away fans... who are 120 metres away and in the upper tier and obviously can't see him.

The C word as in his other team Chelsea I assume?

 ;D

That's probably why he's been so angry all season.

I can assure you Jeema will top anything you have ever seen, strange strange man

'kick the boards 'in the North is a tw@t, constant abuse and bad language,was gonna kick the pompey keepers head in the other week  ::) Looks like gollum

Does he go with his dad?

That Gollum guy is a knob head. Last season he had a go at someone, accusing them of being a visiting fan and got the stewards involved. The guy then somehow produced his proof as a Cobblers fan and then Gollum backed tracked, apologised and looked like a total knob head.

God I remember him. Had the misfortune to be sitting very close to him for that game and now make a mental note to stand/sit as far away as possible from him if I see him at a game. Whenever I do see him, he seems to go out of his way to make trouble.

I dont know, you lot belong at the opera, shouting for a foul when it isnt in support of your own team is both loyal and has on many occasion influenced referees or helped them make the right decision. You lot who take the "I understand football and it wasnt so anyone who shouts for it is a twat' lot are totally up your own arses and dont get it, probably never will. Lot of people get to vent some frustrations at these games, frustration born out of a society of great division and inequality , football being the one time they can let steam off and get right behind their team. If you want to sit there all pompus, quiet and so be it, but dont criticise passion , its a gift.

No doubt you will all now comment on my grammar and spelling or something sad.

never surrender cobblers, never give up and fight for every decision whatever thevfacts of the situation.

I actually go to watch the football not vent my frustrations at society. Each to their own though.

That reminds me,  there was this middle aged guy who I always seemed to end up sitting near at away games. He constantly chuntered at the players, offering them fairly inept tactical advice at the top of his voice, getting angrier and angrier as the match went on. My favourite was the day where he had reached such a level of apoplexy he screamed "WHY? WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME?!?" at the player who'd just failed to deliver the free kick in the recommended fashion!

I've not seen him for ages, actually. He's probably been snapped up by the coaching staff at Barca.

I actually agree with this more or less whole heartedly. I do want every decision to go Cobblers' way however dubious, although I think as I've got older I can look at at things in a bit more balanced way, and see why they don't. Takes me a minute though.

I always like to think I can take my claret tinted specs off during a game but as soon as a 50 / 50 goes against us they come straight back on and the ineptitude of the ref or the linesman becomes like a red mist to me.

I think as you get older you do become more tolerate towards refs and linesmen, last week everybody was very tolerate when the linesman slipped over and missed the ball going out of play just before we scored the first goal.

How on earth do you know that the 50/50 has gone against you? I've been lead to believe this is virtually impossible to find the results of... >:D

I was in the "Jeema Zone" yesterday (kind of like the Splash Zone at Sea World but swearier). To say that he was unhappy with our performance would be an understatement, but most worthy of note was his tirade against Dagenham just before half time - he shouted a 10 word sentence, the only word of which that wasn't an obscenity being "Dagenham"!
The sight and sound of him in full flow is truly awe inspiring. He's like an x rated force of nature.

Do a Jeema swear box. Challenge him for a £1 every time he effs and jeffs. You'll be loaded

Good job the match wasn't just down the Nene because then all 10 words would have been obscenities.

I was sat directly behind him at Wycombe where he was on top form. His response to Wycombes early goal almost made it worth us going behind!  ;D

We then battered them for 80 minutes to move 3-1 ahead, but when we let in a soft goal towards the end Jeema seemed to forget about the previous 80 minutes (and indeed the scoreline still favouring us) by labelling the team ***** useless c**ts *** etc!  ;D

That sounds like my old PE teacher CEd Parry. You used to get a right bollocking if you let it bounce!

Jeema has been doing it for at least 40 years he used to travel to away games in an old claret VW van - can't remember the driver but owe him thanks for rescuing me from a tight spot leaving Doncaster's ground.

Jeema's effing and jeffing is fine but unfortunately his definition of what is pc still resides in the 70's and is not acceptable. A short custodial sentence (in the close season) would suffice.   

Radcliffe School?

you have it. 1965 to 1982

65-82, blimey you were there for 17 years?
Always liked Cedric, good old boy, you always knew where you stood with him. I was at Radcliffe from 82 to 88,

sorry 72.

He is still alive. An active member at a golf course. His picture reamins as an ex captain. I recognized him and was then told he still plays twice a week although he is nearing 90 years of age.

Good to know he's still around, I got to play in his retirement cricket match that he organised. Always got on well with him even though he tried his hardest to switch me from a left handed golfer to a right as the school had no left handed clubs!

Your school had its own golf clubs and pupils had the option of doing golf during games lessons...?

Of course. Didn't all schools?

I was busy playing polo but I'm sure they did.

Well, they had about 5 clubs between 50 kids and it was a case of hacking around the football pitches like a load of grave diggers on acid!

In our game against Oxford United on the last day of the 2013/14 season when we were battling relegation, we were 3-1 up in the 85th minute and most of the crowd were chanting "We are staying up!" etc except for the bloke behind me, who had been moaning all game despite the incredible result and was not about to give up just because we had been saved from relegation. A few Cobblers players were scrapping for possession in the middle of the field with the Oxford midfielders, and the bloke promptly stood up bellowed "BLOODY HELL! STOP SCUFFING UP THE PITCH!" and sat back down again!

Tonight, KK25-27, they were an absolute embarrassment to sit near, slagging off every misplaced pass, tackle, header etc. Started after about 30 seconds and didn't stop until the 85th min when they left.

Had some tw*t directly next to me last game absolutely laying into Richards all game. My personal favourite was just before the corner which led to his goal, he was calling for him to be subbed as it was clear he didn't have a goal in him....

He seemed to have something against Smith as well. Very frustrating man to be sat next to for 80 minutes (His half time started at 40 minutes, and also left the game nice and early which was nice).

Why can some fans not relax and enjoy being top?!

The old boy in front of me comes out with some classics. 'Bloody rubbish' at O'Toole for giving the ball away at 3-0 up v Morecambe gave rise to a good chuckle all around.

Cobblers were playing some beautiful football v Morecambe, all the midfield getting involved playing it about looking to play the killer pass.. When from behind me old boy pipes up... Stop Pi55ing about cobblers  :o

I have heard many variations of that over the years, usually followed by complaints that we are 'hoofing it' when reverting to moving it quickly to the front and therefore losing possession...

"FORWARDS!!!!!!!"

*Defender kicks the ball forward*

"GEEEET IT ON THE GREEEEYND"

Guy sat near me was absolutely laying into Adam Smith at the weekend. It seemed he couldn't quite grasp that the wind was holding up his kicks and not a lack of ability  ;D although to be fair, I'm not quite sure why we kept knocking it back to him in the first half anyway given the conditions  ::)

nice accent - I can almost pinpoint the road he comes from  ;D

I have removed all non-relevant posts from this thread. There are more than enough other threads that you can disease...

Still chuckle at this post  :D

One of the worst I've heard for a while was they guy behind the away dugout shouting "RUBBISH" when the doctor ordered Diamond off on Saturday. Sounded like the same tool that still gives Wilder stick every week.

Swift response from somebody nearby was: "what do you know!?"

To be fair I don't think whoever shouted that was being unreasonable. Diamond was clearly adamant that he was fine and visibly upset when he was ordered off. When I was a kid growing up watching football with my dad it would have been ludicrous to suggest that was enough to substitute someone. Obviously the game has changed a lot but for those who have been watching the game for many many years, it isn't easy to completely accept the new way of doing things.

It was a head injury wasn't it? Medicine has moved on and it turns out that head injuries are a bad thing.

From what I saw on the touchline, Diamond was pointing that it was the side/back of his neck rather than his head. Still, a healthy whack on anything shoulders upwards can have an effect on your game at a professional level. Think that Diamond, now having competition from Cresswell and Prosser, was more irked about giving the chance for someone else to claim his place, rather than any regard for such injury.

So shouting "Rubbish" is on balance probably a little unreasonable IMO.

It was you, wasn't it? 

I am no medical expert but as soon as he went down I said that he looked to be out cold and those around me agreed. The doctor was indicating a substitution very quickly after reaching Diamond which may be further evidence that he had spent some time, albeit not a lot, unconscious.

Back to the point - would you think it reasonable to shout "rubbish" at a doctor, making a medical call on something you have no knowledge of, anywhere other than at a football match? In a hospital for example...

Quite right.  The whole point of the medical assessment for head injuries is to take the decision away from people who can't be trusted to have an impartial view of the situation, that includes the player and the manager for obvious reasons.

To question their judgement on the basis that Diamond didn't "look" to be at risk of long-term brain injury from a vantage point 100+ yards away in the stands is incredibly weird.

The incident highlighted the passion and desire from Diamond to want to carry on even after being told by a professional not to. I doubt the reaction would have been any different if it had been any other of the players had of taken the blow.

No, was it you?  :)

Its a matter of opinions and perceptions I guess. I think neither you nor any other fan in the ground would know for sure if he was definitely out cold. Nor do any of us know the background of the person who made the comment. On the flip side, the doctor will think by his actions he was doing the right thing. As I eluded to before these are the type of contentious topics in which people's opinions can vary depending on certain factors. 

Yes this is true, but what you've also got to remember is that sometimes doctors will be extra cautious for the sake of their careers. They're only human. 

I take your point and agree - none of us here know whether Diamond was unconscious. The background of that person, however, is irrelevant as even if he's a brain surgeon he was too far away to make a judgement.

As for the validity of the decision being a matter of opinion, I completely disagree. If my boss gets a doctor's note saying I'm not fit to work, I would expect him to accept it. It would also be completely inappropriate for any of my colleagues or clients to publicly call the judgement into question or call it "rubbish".

In terms of the background of the person, you're right its pretty irrelevant but I only mentioned it because another poster had said the person had 'no knowledge' which we don't know to be true.

I think you may have missed my point on the second part. I'm not saying CW shouldn't have accepted it. I'm saying that even in situations where the player probably could carry on, doctors will play it very safe (sometimes too safe imo) just to cover their own back and to ensure they don't lose their career over it. And in your example of course you wouldn't expect colleagues to comment, but its a bit far fetched to compare a professional relationship between colleagues to a relationship between a football fan and a player. There's a lot of things that could be said at a football game and not at work. Its a completely different environment.

No, I had a sore throat from shouting out "I love you Joel"  ;D

Nice reasoned response... have you had a blow to the head?

Yes, but I thing I am back to normal (well normal for me) now  ;D

Bloke with kids sitting next to me in front row of the north stand going suddenly ballistic at steward for daring to stand up.  He kept it up through the match with anyone who would listen "this c*** " and "kn**head", (while the bloke just sat there trying to ignore him) safe in the knowledge that the bloke wasn't going to lamp him, which is frankly what he deserved. ::)

...and also the little kid sat behind who got hysterically amused at the "you're sh*tahhhhhh" chant in the first half.  So much so that he did it on his own in the second ;D ;D

My mate who sits behind me has been quiet for a while but was back with a vengeance today... I think it's fair to say that Martin wasn't the best today (and that's being kind) as both me and everyone around me were saying it was time to take him off for either D'ath or Hoskins. Lo and behold, D'ath appears on the touchline as everyone nods sagely and goes, "Ah, yes; that'll be for Martin."

Well, I say everyone.... "SH1T DECISION, WILDER! HE WAS HAVING A BRILLIANT GAME, YOU TWAT!"

Some seriously challenged people in the crowd today.

Cambridge parked the bus which meant that patience was needed as we stretched the play and pulled them about. Clearly the concept of possession football where you wear down the opposition is alien to most of our supporters who would prefer rank 'get it forwards!' hoofball.

Enjoyed the crowd shouting "Ricky!" when Alan Knill was trying to get his attention.

some absolute tw@t behind me in the North Stand today, about 7 rows up and at the end, moaned at bloody everything we did, couldn't do anything right!! I had to remind myself we are top of the league!!

I do wonder where some people come from sometimes.

Out of the woodwork when we win ;D

Well you need a man and a woman who love each other very much and then it's something to do with bees I think  ;)

After they have had a 'special cuddle'...

With the bees ...
Like this..

(https://beeinformed.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/IMG_17421-680x510.jpg)

Had you been waiting a while to be able to post that one?  ;D

How do you feel now  ;D

 

Yes. You have got to admit that she is a bit of a honey  ;D

With an impressive set of bugs.

Old boy near me absolutely hates Lawson.
The young man who is still learning his trade is completely missed on this grizzly fan, shouts of Prat, idiot and get him off within minutes of his substitute introduction and stays constant throughout.
He's also very preemptive whenever our opponents have the ball anywhere near our goal 'here it comes' he states 40 odd times per game, but to his credit he got it right once yesterday.
All that said I wish the old boy well and hope he enjoys next season when we'll be under the cosh for vast periods of games and Lawson will have his work cut out against higher opposition, but my ears will not be within earshot of him.. I'm moving seat. 

Better the devil you know  ;) You could end up near Mr/Mrs Methane like I was for a couple of games.

After a quiet few games, the nob head behind me was back at it on Saturday as the final whistle went - "You've blown it now! Blown it! Fùcking rubbish, Cobblers!"

Hmm. 14 points clear of second with 6 games to play? Yep, we're clearly up sh1t creek without a paddle...

Edit - I've just remembered he also took several opportunities to berate the linesman for enforcing the offside rule as it stands now rather than how it used to be (i.e. affecting play rather than just in an offside position). It's not that he didn't understand the new rule, just that he felt the linesman should "show some common sense" by just pretending the rule hadn't changed!  ::)

Some bloke a few rows in front of me wasn't happy midway through the 2nd half on Saturday. He made his point very strongly to all of those around him. I will let him reply to this (he posts on here) if he so wishes!  ;D

That's the Bee's teets that.  ;D

Was it telling the kids to stop singing about the IRA ?

We should be able to come up with a replacement line instead of the IRA bit

why should we change it?

Exactly what I thought  ???

Horsham Town's (soon to be Ryman South) smattering of supporters refer to themselves as The Lard Army; this is their version:

"Give me lard in my heart,
Keep me Horsham,
Give me lard in my heart,
I pray,
Give me lard in my heart,
Keep me Horsham,
Keep me Horsham to the break of day.

No surrender,
No surrender,
No surrender,
To the low fat spread."

because what relevance does it have to a football match in 2016?

TBF what relevance did it have to a football match in 1984?
Football has always been linked to religion.

Football is a religion

Sure is and Sixfields is the Church  :afro

To annoy you. That is a good  enough reason for anybody.

Just seems like a really pointless outdated line that wouldn't take long to be replaced.

Possible alternative endings

And Peter kaye
We're going up in May
We all say
Cause their all gay

'Because we're here to stay' would have been very appropriate 6 months ago

I cringe every time I hear the song with the IRA name in it.

Does this old boy (in his 60's at least?) have a black earing in his left ear? (a ring shape)
He nearly started a riot at the front at Mansfield the other week when we were 0-2 down, and Lawson's first touch (trying to trap the ball) nearly went over the stand and he immediately started shouting "get him off!! he's sh1te!!" or words to that effect....and about 3 or 4 people all around him took exception to his encouraging words and threatened to take this gent outside and beat the cr&p out of him..... it rumbled on for most of the 2nd half....

So you are using the word GAY as a derogative term.
The kick it out campaign still has a way to go obviously.

More apt for some would be..

...tooth decay

But best would be...

....Lock Cardoza away

GAY as in happy why do people always play the PC card

Nice save  ;)

Because no-ones used the word gay to mean happy for over 30 years.

It's ok, we all know what he really meant  ::)

That's your interpretation - don't think it was particularly derogative; no direct criticism was implied. Seems like opportunistic PC point scoring to me.

Not oppotunistic point scoring, I merely state that "gay" is still perceived in a negative way.
I used to cringe at the Tyler song on the Moyes Terrace at Peterborough, certainly gives one a taste of the treatment black footballers got in the 70s.
Kick it Out has a fair way to go still, although strides have been made which is good.

I am beginning to fall in love with you Crowy ❤️

"I merely state that "gay" is still perceived in a negative way", but you changed your tune here - put like that not mäny would disagree.

Still think it was opportunistic PC point scoring.

It wasn't but you obviously think it was so good for you.

Yes, but you're a cretin so nobody cares what you think.

Good point very well made.

So pattcobb you think GAY is derogatory tell me then why is it called the GAY right's movement I thought it was because they are all happy

I'd pack in if I were you, you're embarrassing yourself.

Motion carried Evers is indeed a cretin 😂

The IRA song is essentially a sectarian football chant, with the word Posh replacing the word Pope.

You might think it is cool to sing belligerently about the IRA, but by perpetuating sectarian hatred 30 years after the Anglo-Irish Agreement and nearly 20 years after the Good Friday Agreement, you contribute to an environment in which people in certain parts of the UK continue to die because of which side of the sectarian divide they were born on. Sure, you aren't directly responsible, but until sectarianism is deemed totally unacceptable and communities heal people will keep dying. But hey, you like singing it so who cares about a few bodies?

Agree...however a lot of people who sing it probably are not intending any harm to anyone BUT the history is painful and slow reconciliation is better than stirring the embers.

Absolutely, as well as it becoming so predictably, monotonously, obsessively tiring! First song last sat from k.o. was 'singing aye aye ippy...' Equally tiresome!

Did you really ask that? If you don't understand how... i'm not even going to bother. "because they are all happy" ::)


Still stalking everbrite? It'd be quicker if he just put a quote from you in his signature. Save you some time rather than chasing after his every post to make a comment.

Thanks for illustrating the point I was making, although I assume you've missed the actually point of it.

My old mate was at it again yesterday so, inspired by Moocher's comment on the Charlton POTS thread, I thought I'd resurrect this old  chestnut...

As Holmes received a round of applause when he took a corner in the first couple of minutes, nob head yelled "Why are you clapping that c*nt? f***ing Judas! Judas! He left us! Judas! The same silly bastards will clap that c*nt Wilder when he comes back too? Why should we clap him? Judas!" Awesome.

When we played Millwall a while back the same dick thought it was acceptable to yell "Sit down, one bollock!" at Neil Harris.

Just report him if you feel he is making offensive comments.

The 'one bollock' thing is disgraceful. That's on a par with the Coventry fan who mocked Billy Sharp's stillborn son. Personal abuse like that should not be tolerated in football.

I was so angry when they scored yesterday i threw a tee peg

Talking of throwing things... when Charlton scored yesterday did I see a plastic garden chair propelled towards the police? Just saw it ot of the corner of my eye. Can someone confirm this happened please?

Sorry, just read this from the "our support" thread....


At least I didn't imagine it. I do imagine lots of things you know  ;D

Yeah, I agree. Usually the bloke just shows himself up as being quite dim and while he's a bit irritating, most people just laugh at him. The bollock comment was different and did make me think about complaining about him to a steward but that's not really my style. Enough people in earshot told him what they thought of him (myself included) so hopefully that did the trick.

Yes that happened. Also a steward moved a white plastic chair away from that corner before that was chucked.

I couldn't work out why the chair would even have been there.  I believe he got arrested, I saw one person led away within a minute of it being thrown.

How did he he get it into the ground?

Hes mates with the Chairman

?

Yeah they got the fella. I saw him do it and he started making his way back in the direction of the goal... but the police quickly pulled him out and lead him away. He did it in reaction to the guys who were being pulled out by the police due to the over-celebrating of their goal.

The Charlton fans had congregated down there waiting for the doors to be open to let them out behind the stand at half time (for a smoke and a drink) - maybe we should look at opening up earlier when there are bigger away followings to prevent the bottle neck down that corner?

There are some dotted around the front of the stands for some reason, just the cheap plastic patio chairs. Probably won't be left near the south stand for future games.

Think it's time to get this going again. Already frothing at the mouth thinking about the guy behind me screaming 'FOOOOORWARD' followed immediately with 'GET EET ON THE GREEEEYND'.

After they scored "Come on, we need to score at least two to win". Yes, obviously  ;D

greened? Grained surely? The over exageration with the 'e' instead of the 'a' as in tayn is lost on me😂
Lets lose the e 😙

There were some "FORWARD" shouts in the East as well today.

I'm glad someone has dug this up again as I was planning on finding it myself!

This season I still have the usual pair of knob heads behind me, but I've no idea if they were being knob heads today as they were completely drowned out by an additional pair of knob heads who spent the entire match berating Sam Hoskins. Right from the off, it didn't matter what he did, it was wrong. Now Sammy may have his shortcomings in front of goal but he's a trier, he puts in a shift every game and won't ever be found hiding. He certainly doesn't deserve the dog's abuse this pair were giving him and he's by no means a "gibber" or "an absolute liability" as these guys were yelling at him.

At one point they were even abusing him for having a drink of water during a stop in play: "f***ing hell, Hoskins, you've only been out of the dressing room for 3 minutes, you shouldn't need a drink yet!" They seemed to miss the fact that JJOT was standing next to him having a drink at the same time...

It makes you wonder why some people bother to go if all they are going to do is try and demoralise our own players for 90 minutes.  >:(

There was a nutcase in the west stand corner towards the away end. He was berating Cornell to keep it simple the entire game, despite the passes he wanted from him being far more tricky. Everyone around just looked embarrassed he was there, his mate usually does the same thing, they barely even celebrate when we score. Makes you wonder why some bother going!

On Saturday the West Stand erupted into "You're not fit to run the line", after the Assistant Referee correctly gave a goal kick. I say correctly...I guess it's possible that a ball might change direction mid air in very close proximity to a player without them touching it, but I find that highly unlikely.

I suspect that the gender of the Assistant Ref may have been at the heart of it.

Could see it was a good call from the North stand!!

Pretty obvious he sits in the North stand.

Can we put on Selling Houses Australia now?

 My fault pressed Corno's button instead of BoN. Sorry for the confusion.

I once sat lower central near the  dug outs, a few there believing they should be at the Edinburgh fringe and one can only assume they think up 'witty' one liners all week in readiness, such as shouting '  I shop at Sainsbury's  '  to the Millwall striker Morrison😣

The delightful 'get back in the kitchen' shout would also support that. I sincerely hope the person who shouted that doesn't have a wife or daughter, or a son, or nieces, or nephews, or anyone that he might someone influence at any point in his life.

Thats a bit OTT, actually I thought the ball clearly came off the Imps player! As for the remark yes it is in poor taste but easy to ignore due to its worthless content. To make it appear to be a serious social misdemeanour is as I suggest a bit over cooked. Excuse the pun tho'.

TBF I thought the female assistant referee on saturday was just as crap as her male counterparts. It would be nice to get some decent officials.

I am awaiting the day when we get a woman referee - that will get the West Stand hard nuts going!

If we did get a female ref she certainly couldnt be any worse than the male ones we have, and if she is anything like my missus she wont miss anything !

Now there sounds a voice of experience  ;D

Can someone explain to me what the significance of the gender of the officials is?  ???

Would have thought that after over 100 years of Male Referees that would be obvious. Do a letter to Times lamenting the absence of a woman referee in todays game.

I know, it's baffling.

I have a really annoying old man behind me who tries to start chanting 'She fell over!' whenever an opposition player falls over. If I make it through the season without strangling him....

I still call them lino's. The one west stand side got quite a few obvious decisions wrong (for both sides). The ref the same. The lino on the far side was the best of the bunch.

The most random thing I have ever heard shouted out at a football match was "I like speedway...........and other bikes". They were obviously off there tits or trolley or both.

Nice idea in theory Evers, but wouldn’t it stop Tottie from giggling, being silly and turn her into bossy boots?

Bit sexist Melly ;) - I reckon you are the Boris Johnston of this board ;)

Always remember the bloke in the old Hotel End particularly in the First Division days shouting out " i'm a West 'am supporter' at most games. Always caused a ripple of amusement!

A guy near me used to insist that every ref who gave a decision against Bayo was a racist.

don’t you start, the wife read it and cut them off again. Can’t have a laugh anymore?

DA "A few of the fans were screaming for the ball to get smacked forward and I think that kind of put a bit in people's heads and it didn't help."
Right, who was it?

100% followed it with "why's he kicking it up to Waters for. Useless. GET IT ON THE GREYND".

For the past several years I've sat (actually stood) on the back row of the North with the rest of tbe great unwashed, so this topic doesn't really apply to me, but I can help you out on this one DC.
Last night I was sat in the lower tier one row from back south side of mid centre, and there was a very passionate bloke behind me who had seriously got it in for O'Toole, too slow, always plays it backwards, senior player who's useless, should have left ages ago etc.
At one point in the second half when Turnbull had the ball at his feet and he played it sideways to Barnett, the same bloke bellowed FORWARDS... such was the atmosphere last night, I'm sure Austin heard, and seemed to have a quiet word with Turnbull a few seconds later.  Sure enough, next time Turnbull receives the ball he tries to take the ball down the line under the close attention of a Wycombe player and promptly runs ball out of play.
Blame Austin then?  ;D

Last night I sat in Row N seat 131 so not so far from the guy bellowing ‘fwd’ which appeared to come from centre of West Stand mid position say row R ? Does this help in indentifying the ‘culprit’?

He wasn't the only one Evers.
He surprised me with his character assassination of JJ,  I didn't bother turning round to check him out although my mate had a conversation with him.
His FORWARDS cry did seem to have an effect on both Austin and Turnbull though. Perhaps it was just coincidental.

I’m off the fence
DA won’t be here long....
Making comment about fans screaming forward contributed to the defeat !!!
Classic

People have been heard to shout forward when we pissed league two under wilder,it’s a wonder he never mentioned it!!

At £24 a pop I think you should command the right to stand and shout
Forwards
Backwards
Sideways
Up
Down
Round and round
Potato
Marrow
Hedgerow
Hedgehog
Or whatever else takes your fancy.
Good luck to the mystery forward shouter!!

It was a fiver last night, means you can't moan.

Oh, so because you pay your money you can shout whatever you want?

If I was DA I'd be annoyed at the idiotic shouts of forward every time the team attempts to play some football.

Some fans have never played the game and have absolutely no clue, those same fans would moan if we smashed it forward and then shout "play some football Austin".

He can't, he doesn't go to the games.

That is literally what happens. People shout get it forward then people shout keep the ball and round and round in circles they go.

Maybe like me everyone should stay away
If we play home games behind closed doors without anyone shouting ‘forwards” we will soon rocket up the league and be top by Christmas.
It’s not as if the club need revenue coming in anyway,they probably haven’t even noticed the large drop in attendances and incomes as they are too busy deciding how big to make the redevelopment and how many seats to fit in ::)

Maybe they should stay away. It certainly doesn't help the players - the manager saying one thing and some of the crowd shouting to do the complete opposite. Fan pressure does have an effect particularly on younger players.

Last night young Jay Williams gave the ball away and someone shouted "for Christ sake". He's 17 years old, it was his first competitive game.   

I actually moved from the West to the North where it's a bit better for the moronic FOOORWARD screams. Instead, I now hear the very dated (and sexist); "she fell over!!" from the old guy almost directly behind me whenever an opposition player falls over. And last Saturday a few fans chanted the also very dated and homophobic chant; "(insert keepers name) Takes it up the a*se!" when he was taking ages over a goal kick.

Can't win.

Here's a revolutionary thought, we could play passing football, on the ground in a forward direction!!  ;D

I understand what people are saying on here. And the shouts are often moronic. But our game management is quite poor at the moment and we are often choosing the long balls when its not required (early in the game, at 0-0) and then choosing to pass across the back four, back to keeper and across the back four again at 1-0 down in the 80+ minutes. That's what frustrates me. There is a time and a place for different types of football. i am just not sure we are utilising them in the right situations.

What a ‘rogue’ supporter!?

I always thought that it was "cheat fell over".
Sexism problem solved.  :D

I take it people who have posted on this thread have never shouted something ridiculous out of pure frustration?

Every time we pass the ball square and near to our penalty box I give an involuntary shreak of agonised anguish.  How about you Ron ?

It's when the box is entered usually isn't it?

I don't think it's about shouting the odd thing out of frustration now and then.More about the same numpties shouting the same annoying thing every home game.

Spot on.

The blinkered fans on the back row of the West Stand around the seat 45 mark really got on my nerves for berating the match officials every single game. Offside when the ball never even reached the opposing forward, crying because the opposing team pinched a few yards at a throw, slagging the ref off for blowing for fouls against us.......but conveniently forgetting every decision, every few yards stolen, every bit of time-wasting that we do.

I have sat in the east stand for a few games over the last couple of seasons including the Cambridge game this season ever time there has been a family in there  that spent the whole game shouting get into them, close them down for the whole duration of the game no matter where the ball is, this is so irritating I would not like to be sat near them every home game.

You just can’t find that eclectic mix of Political Corretness, Socialism, and the Far left at football match’s that your looking for, perhaps go to a momentum meeting instead of the footy.

;D

Good to see you are now an active recruiter for the momentum movement. Do your angry friends know that you have turned?  ;D

I'm surprised you can even see the game when you are with your mates, what with all those white hoods blocking the view.

I sit West Upper towards the South but not amongst the singers, there's a young chap with a beard with the loudest clap I've ever heard and will always shout 'sake' when something goes wrong (quite often).

 ;D ;D

I must confess that on the odd occasion in life when my wife slips, I always serenade her with a short chorus of 'she fell over'. Its guaranteed to amuse me, and that frankly is all that matters  ;D

I bet the Knob heads are gargling a special mixtures and doing vocal exercises in readiness for Saturday.

 Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do

Wtf has rice wine got to do with football?

 ;D



We are committing Hara Kiri on the pitch.

This thread could be busy on Tuesday night.

My personal favorite from tonight was from a bald guy down the front who shouted "Adams, you have a child's Boaby". Adams enjoyed and gave the fan a thumbs up.

As he charged after a cleared free kick today, someone behind me shouted "Come on Foley, chase it you lazy little shìt!" ::)

Also an honourable mention for the numpty who spent most of the second half shouting "Come on Cobblers, don't sit back, you're supposed to be at home - attack, attack, attack!"

You are unlucky where you sit! As a matter of interest did anybody hear a real fog horn of a bloke roughly in area K to N 138/155; forever berating the Ref. Charlatan - you must have heard him.

I must admit Evers I did hear a shout of don't sit back Cobblers. On the 0ther hand, I thought the crowd really helped the lads along yesterday, really felt like we were all in it together.

The North End of the West started a song yesterday. That hasn't happened for years  :o ;D

Everbrite, I wonder if that is one of the two Muppets I sat next too at MK. The one sat on my right, from the 1st minute till the 90th moaned at the ref non stop, no support of the team, just moaning at the ref.
The bloke behind me moaned constantly about the ref too, although he was younger and his level of moaning had not reached the top levels yet. He got to the point where he just ran out of words and shouted " Ref...Ref....you're... you're.......... really good " !!!!!!!

I merely mentioned this bloke as he had a really booming voice never heard such a loud voice bloke before. Certainly he generally had a go at the ref. He was situated around area K to O/P/N rows roughly seats 138 to 155. Bit of a character tho'

To be fair , Sixfields responded well yesterday and was back to form .
It needed the ref to get us going though after the VV incident .
In many ways the ref inspired us all , despite his complete incompetence

I agree the ref gave some strange decisions to both sides but the one against JJOT was very poor as was the one against vV. There again he gave us a penalty apparently for offside* which was a mystery to most of us. So thanks Mr Breakspear you got the crowd going, gave us a dubious penalty and not award any silly free kicks too near our goal!

* changed to handball, in a later post!

I was in stitches at an old guy sat along from me in the North. He may have been the one already mentioned above.

I think he must have thought we had 11 men still, because he didn't seem to understand the concept that free flowing football would not be served up on the cards in the second half.

In fact the stuff he was shouting was so stupid it provided some light relief to what should have been a tense finale ;D

I had to take a pre-match dump on Saturday (it happens to us all sometime) and the person I ended up sitting next to so to speak gave out a call of OOOO Eliza after making their move. Was it YOU? Come on, own up!

Maybe this will help narrow it down? Anyone on here Dutch or called Danny ?

https://youtu.be/rtDRjoxIrsI

Every time we lost the ball a millisecond later "GET IN TO THEM"  ::)

"get in to them"

Player gets booked for aggressive challenge

"get him off"

 ;D ;D ;D

I had the following:

"WASTED!" Every time a shot was off target or blocked, or a pass went astray.

"That Buchanan is our best player, he is too good for this league."

"That's the West and North, that's where all the season ticket holders sit." I'm a season ticket holder sat in front of them in the East.  ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

One I heard on Saturday when Cornell was taking an attacking free kick from just inside our own half: Why is he taking the free kick from there, if he mis-kicks or scuffs it he will have to sprint back or they'll have an open goal...

like he did the week before?
We seem a little susceptible to the counter attack so if we were winning at this stage, I'm  finding it hard to fault his/her Over cautious view.

Was it you?  ;D

No, I can't even be bothered shouting anything these days.😂

#Metoo

Oh, so it wasn't that our supporter was expressing his displeasure at where we were taking the free kick from then...

At one point today, Hoskins chased onto a long forward ball from Pierre. He didn't get there and the keeper gathered it up quite comfortably and Sam pulled to avoid clattering into him. Someone behind me then shouted "That's the problem with Hoskins; no heart! Pathetic!"

Now, there's a lot of things you can be critical of Hoskins for, but seriously, the guy is all about heart and commitment. I think even his harshest critics acknowledge that.

When he was subbed I think he was mostly greeted with sympathetic applause as most people could see he'd spent most of the match ploughing the loneliest of lone furrows up front on his own for most of the game with no service and less support. Not so everyone though as blokey behind me greets him off the pitch with a warm bellow of "Useless, Hoskins!"

Oh, and he also spent the entire game referring to him as "The Dwarf". Oh, the hilarity. I bet he spent days coming up with that. As if the game wasn't bad enough, I got to "enjoy" a commentary broadcast in Cretinrama.

Not me, I stand on the back row (West Stand)...sorry though, that makes me roar!  ;D

Bemoaning Feather - sorry, Roberts coming on ahead of Morias, bint next to me says "er, that's my friend you are talking about"
Oh, oh sorry...he's brilliant!  ;D

"The referee is useless, he even gave them a free kick for offside in our half"  ;D

That was an unbelievable piece of officiating.

Correct though... Why was it unbelievable?

Because the free kick for offside was in the Cheltenham attacking half (just) but free kick was actually taken in the Cheltenham defensive half...

When the ball was kicked, the player was in an offside position but did not become offside until he became actively involved which in this case was inside his own half. The free kick for offside is therefore taken from where he became actively involved.
The Law was amended four seasons ago.

Be interested to know your take on this Deepcut.

There was an incident yesterday, first half. One of our players fouled one of their players, the ref played advantage. Moments later, their player lost the ball, went straight down and grabbed the ball with his hands. 1-2 seconds later the ref blew his whistle and brought the play back and gave Cheltenham a free kick for the original foul.

My question is, should that not have been our free kick for hand ball? He 100% hadn't blown his whistle by that point, their player just decided there was no longer an advantage! Not many people seemed to observe it at the time but I spoke to a couple of people near me at half time who both did and agreed with me. Surely a free kick to us?

That's really simplified things, and there were some people who think that UEFA /FIFA just p*ss around with some of the rules for something to do!!    Of course there are other rules which 99% of officials just totally ignore, like foul throws, they haven't changed the laws about those have they?

No, but there are another batch of amendments to the Laws with effect from 1 June that are intended to improve the game...as with every year.

I remember it.
Correct application of the Law, he should have given the free kick for handball however assuming that he was just about to blow to bring it back for the for kick because there wasn't sufficient advantage, he awarded them a free kick for the original offence which would be, and is, an 'easier sell' to both sets of players.

Instead of the usual irritating/ill informed/imbecilic tossers we normally complain about on this thread, yesterday for a change I had a pair of mind numbingly dim teenage neutrals behind me whose incessant ramblings about all sorts of things over 90 minutes made Beavis and Butthead's exchanges sound like Peter Ustinov crossing wits with Stephen Fry.

To be fair, they were harmless enough and listening to them amused me far more that the turgid fayre served up by the players. There were many moments where I found myself desperately trying to stifle a guffaw, not least of which was when it became clear they had only come to the game to see Aaron Pierre because they really like him on FIFA, but here are my personal highlights....

Beavis: "Well, all the players out there will have other jobs that they do during the week, won't they?"
Butthead: "No, I think they are professionals"
B: "Really?"
BH: " Yeah, some of these are probably earning, oooh, probably up to £600 a week."
B: "Bloody hell, that's like... [cogs turning].... twice the minimum wage or something."
BH: "Yeah. Are these in the same league as Stratford?"
B: "Yeah, I think so."

Beavis: "Agger. Agri. Agiri."
Butthead: "It's agriculture."
B: "What?"
BH: "It says agriculture."
[ at this point I realised they were looking at the Moulton College sign above the South Stand]
B: "Construction. Sport. Animals. Um. Something. Agriculture."
BH: "What is that? Ekeen?"
B: "E-queen?"
BH: "A-quin?"
B: "huh huh, dunno, something about animals, innit?"

Then they got the giggles for a good two minutes as they continued to attempt (unsuccessfully) the correct pronunciation of "equine".

Rather than inanities being shouted, the bloke behind me coughed and sneezed the whole match without covering his mouth. I await the inevitable cold. In the words of the old song "Coughs and sneezes spread diseases ...."

I get that on the train/tube everyday. And the cold is inevitable..

I was in Clerkenwell today - at the Niche Restaurant.

I was just off Tottenham Court Road today. Bacon sarnie at the Bay leaf cafe.

 ;D ;D ;D

Reminded me of the stewards at Anfield, I'm sure they had a similar conversation that the players heard and helped inspire the win. Shame they didn't hear it on Saturday!

Yeah, I remember a couple of YouTube rants from Liverpool fans doing the rounds after that game where they were going on about losing to a team of postmen and plumbers. I sometimes wonder about the intellect of the wider community of football fans. You don't necessarily expect fans of Premier League teams to be able to list off loads of lower league players or even managers, but surely a general understanding of the league structure isn't too much to expect, is it???

Classy ;)

Professional football doesn't exist outside of the Premier league nor did it exist before 1992. Everyone knows that  ::)

One of our regular vocal misery guts in the west stand who l have the pleasure of looking down on had an issue when their striker blocked one of Cornell's kicks from hand. He shouted "he's just standing his ground" and that the ref had "got it wrong" to award us a free kick for obstruction by their player.

So was the misery guts ...?

1. Right.
2. Wrong.
3. Wrong and knob of the week.

That will take a few hours  to answer ;D
I was in Row M 130 and there was a bloke bellowing very loudly; anyone in and around that area in the WS would have heard him!

No everbrite you was not in west stand M130 as that is my season ticket seat which I have used for every home league game this season. If you was sitting on my lap I think I would have noticed you.

Been caught out have you Tony,  ;D ;D

 ;D ;D

Meant about near M130

So did you Guys hear the shouter ?

So where you the shouter?  Actually sit v near you about M130’ish. Will say Hello at Yeovil game!

Backtracking... Just admit it, you failed to tell the truth, and got caught out.

No I was not the shouter neither did I hear it. How do you not Know where you was sitting? which game was you at?

West Stand: Seats M130/131

https://images.app.goo.gl/WXp3jKqx23MFhptj7

 ;D very good.

um do you feel better now

I feel fine, maybe I should ask you the same question. You certainly need some help.

um funny way to argue, are you very angry with life

Like I said, you need some help.

i think you know my views on this matter

Was at the game on Saturday - I generally sit with some pals near M138 or even near Row K 140'ish . No longer a STH at least for current season.

I tend to be A34, M40 and A508 , ;)

Sat just in front of Brian(umbrella man). Mad Michelle was two rows in front. She then moved to join the chanting support. Meanwhile Brian was in full flow second half  8)

 

Mad, or is it just Michelle? Anyway, irrespective of the score, does the 2-1 with her fingers to the opposition fans...good timing in the 89th min at the Stadium of Light back in 2010 Shel'  ;D

Informed by a supporter some years ago that was her nickname. When I asked why  - the response was watch her interact with opposing supporters. Michelle's performance at Port Vale some seasons ago was a gem!

She once kicked the hell out of the back of a seat in front of us when we conceded a goal (away at Lincoln, if I remember correctly).

I was sat behind her at Gillingham once, a Tuesday night game, must of been at least 15 years ago. She kept referring to the burly black striker who was playing for them that evening as a p@cky, very quietly, muttering it. But I was sat right behind her and did hear it. I know its not right, but it did amuse me for obvious reasons!

Mate, on my site, we have Indians and ****stanis. They do not get on, its fair to say. But to hear the Indians refer to their workmates as P@kis also amuses me. I just smile, and keep my head down!  ;D

I was going to ask her on a date at Tranmere...but then Hoskins scored!

He got in before you...

Brave man ! Her scowl will turn you into stone - just like Medusa.

Indeed...From my sources, I'm told she has a penchant for Cobblers players who rarely score. Big crush on Marc Richards!  ;D

I was reliable informed it was Bayo.

Just your imagination!

Game against Macclesfield Cornell had the ball at his feet and someone shouted FORWARD....... now I'm no expert but backwards could have been awkward

But having seen Cornell play not impossible  ;D

I would bet that "keep it on the grewnd" will be a big favourite this afternoon.

Very disappointing performance this week  from last weeks nob head. All he could muster was Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit at the top of his voice as the half time whistle approached.

Not disappointing, pretty accurate

"We shouldn't be playing this lot because they don't care! Next year they'll all be back at their own clubs; Powell, Cox, Pollock - all of them!"

This is Sh1te not coming back here,

shouted by 4000 + sad souls

My mate was at it again today! As McCormack was taken off, for reasons obvious to anyone with half a brain, he starts berating Curle: "You can't help yourself can you? You can't leave things alone? There's only seven minutes left! He can make it through that! You're a joke, Curle, a f***ing joke!"

He continued in this vein for the rest of the game.

Love it! Ain't that a part of it.

Got to admit, I did sarcastically say 'its a risk'. Should keep him on for another 2 minutes. We are only 3 goals ahead!  ;D

I know him...black hair, glasses and was standing in the 'away' technical area in the second half!  8)

 ;D ;D

“If you didn’t keep staying up till stupid o’clock to watch the Cobblers, you wouldn’t keep falling asleep on Sunday afternoons fcking up the weekend?”

 ;D

;D ;D

Mrs Melbourne totally gets the NTFC thing then ?????

Er....no. Big trouble ahead too, been caught watching the replay on iplayer, an option I hadn’t disclosed was available. My exploits in watching live are about to come under pressure?

at least she knows where you are in the early hours of a Sunday Morning !

Struggling to get out of my head, an image of you standing in the kebab shop at 2am with a bird in toe, watching the i-player and trying to not 'look weird'!

I think his wife might also struggle with that scenario … and that's not even taking in to account the i-Player dynamic !

 ;D ;D

Absolutely no idea where she is though? Surprised she’s complaining?

At Crawley:
"Hoof it, get it into the penalty area"

And by a number behind the goal:
"We want five, we want five"
"Let him die, let him die" when Harry Smith went down and was quite clearly seriously injured.

That's extremely poor.

And the first comment was made by the manager.  ;D

Very loudly in front of me “What’s your plan B Curle, hoof if further”

;D Very good.

Who shouted that David Kelly?

There was one yesterday when Hoskins got fouled in the second half. Some bloke near me misunderstood the decision and thought Hoskins had been given offside. "He was never offside! Never!" he shouted. Fair enough, we all get the wrong end of the stick sometimes. But then the Cheltenham players took up defensive positions and Adams came to stand over the ball while they waited for Sammy to sort himself out. You'd think at this point the penny would drop, but no. He was still ranting away about the lino and his bad offside decision.

He was still muttering about it as Adams played the ball into the box!

Cornell had the ball in his hand for two seconds, two seconds!!!! cue the Knob heads screaming...get on with it! Some people need to calm themselves down otherwise a heart attack will sadly calm them down for good.

That’s because Cornell takes an eternity to take free kicks, goal kicks etc with a high percentage ending up in the stand.

I must admit I had a chuckle when KC said that the reason he brought Cornell back in for the Cheltenham game was for his better distribution, the last few games his kicking has been all over the place.

During the Stevenage game, around 25 minutes in, some guy a few rows in front shouted the old infamous Northampton classic 'FOOORRRRWWARRDD' during a spell of total football where we played 3 side ways passes. Did make me laugh.

Does three sideway passes qualify as total football?

It does if your names Keith Curle.

When Morecambe scored to make it 3-1 somebody down from me shouted " Sort it out Curle this is f*****g s**t!

My usual "mate" was on fire on Saturday. He berated Curle at every opportunity because "he doesn't know what he's doing", missed our second goal because he left early to get a drink (someone said "you might miss a goal" and he replied "I don't care if i do, this is sh*t") and then went into overdrive when Adams went off for Martin:

"F***ing negative Curle, f*** off, you're sh*t! That means we only have one up front now, f***ing negative, you're useless..."

I'm not sure if he had realised Adams had been playing at wing back all game so swapping him for Martin actually made no difference to the number of players we had up front, either way he continued ranting about negativity right until our fourth goal went in...

 ;D ;D
Was he seated in the West J 120ish area ? If so he's been saying the same to every manager for years, even Chris Wilder when we were already promoted!!

I can find no words that sum up Joe Martin as a footballer.

He could well have been in that area EB. I was flabbergasted when he said it, I then just burst out laughing.

Dogsh1t?

He's the only player in our squad that I don't rate at all. I actually commented that it was a bit risky as we were only a couple of goals up at that point.  ;D

Emmmm it’s a fair shout, but the aforementioned Dogsh1t is useful to the dog, whereas Joe in footballing terms is utterly pointless.

There was a terrible over hit pass by Harriman in the second half which Usain Bolt wouldn't have stood a chance of catching, let alone Sam Hoskins. Think we were 4-1 up at this point too so no need to chase a lost cause.

A member of the North Stand disagreed and shouted "Hoskins you lazy barsteward". He got shot down pretty quick.

 ;D ;D

Frank you are a lucky man as they wont be there this Saturday - no chance not even Manny boyo!

Time to revive this one!

My mate was on fire today. When number 19 was held up when we withdrew Bowie he bellowed "F***ing useless, Brady!"

Never mind that he's been out for weeks and Brady has gone on record saying how he's having to limit his minutes to give him a phased return. Yes, he was playing well but I'd rather we took him off early today and have him available next week than leave him on for 90 minutes and then lost him for the rest of the session.

Shortly after he commented on how hard Appere works, Appere was back winning the ball in the left back area and had clearly run himself into the ground again, so it was no real surprise when his number was held up.

Cue "You haven't got a f****ong clue, Brady!"

Lastly he said Yengi looked like he should be playing on Far Cotton Rec.

What's that they say about stopped clocks....? ;D

There used to be someone sitting near me who once screamed “ the ref’s a catholic!” He wore a baseball cap, perhaps he posts on here? 😉

“Turn the brightness down on that iPhone, it’s keeping me awake”.

Is he ever without a baseball cap?  ;D ;D

Remember at a game v Sc***horpe 2/3 seasons ago their player went down as if pole axed. When he eventually rose a wag shouted or bellowed in a stern voice 'he has risen', rejoice, he has risen followed by a series of Hallelujahs". This happened in row P  circa seat 200+ so right at end of West Stand , North End. Stuck in memory as the wags voice carried well.                                                                   

Allegedly not, like Jeema and his brollie, a fixture  :afro

Hoskins hater near me…. “Does he know where the bodies are buried Curle?”

And we're up and running already! Apparently adding the actual amount of time the ball is out of play is ruining the game and the team have already been written off as a bunch of misfits.

This thread is gold.....

I remember this one lad used to shout all sorts of random stuff at the back of the west stand. One game he was sitting next to me and was hammering Matty Taylor all game. Then just as he was in the middle of calling him a "useless c***" he put one in the top corner, to which quite a few fans turned and pointed to him. For the next 10 mins minutes or so he was frantically trying to convince us he was never abusing Taylor at all ::)

The immortal Dazza had a massive issue with Martin Smith and would roundly abuse him every chance he got, I think he apologised to him in the end 

To the fat ginger tw@t in the middle of the North, please never come again you negative argumentative toss3r. Never seen or heard anything like it in my life.

Im just waiting for the all time classic to arrive on Saturday, full volume, SING SOMETHING SIMPLE, YOU SIMPLE TW@TS. Delivered from the Upper West. You know who you are, dont let me down. ;)

"And tonight's player of the match..."

Man with literally no understanding of football behind me "None of them"

Had to give it to all the young pricks in the Upper West, singing 'Lincoln's a s***hole, I'd hate to live there'. Idiots beyond belief, clearly never set foot near the place!
They did shut up pronto and never sang it again!

Rest of the time, all of us getting the atmosphere going - as did at Wigan!

It's just habit, they sing that to every team that visits Sixfields!
They've also never visited Northampton town centre!

At least they make some noise, unlike the North Stand, is it still the covid cardboard cutouts in there?

Take it you weren’t in Sixfields last night with that daft North Stand comment 😂😂😂

I am so pleased to see that we are starting to address some of the wildly inaccurate chants and comments made by some of our supporters. I can confirm that whilst Lincoln has some less desirable areas. It is indeed, quite an attractive city.

May I take this opportunity to throw out there, just a few more chants that might need addressing. 


"I'm a knock kneed chicken and a bow legged hen". Am I really?

Is Barry Fry really an illegitimate, birth certificateless AIDS sufferer?

Who ACTAULLY has a firearm at their disposal. That their mother has suggested that they should use to "shoot the Boro scum".

Is "John Brady John Brady John Brady, taking us to Boro". Or will I be expected to make my own travel arrangements?

Was anybody on here, really "born under the Hotel End".

Is the question "have you ever seen your cock" justified. In a society where mirrors are prevalent.

Is it fair to assume that virtually all opposition supporters, are truly members of the Addams family? 


So, that's just a few of the errant statements that I would like to see addressed, going forward. But feel free to correct any others that you see to be unjust.

Heard in the West Stand last night. "Just kick it"

 ;D ;D ;D

I was at Swansea the other day and the national anthem was sang towards the end, pretty embarassing, not least because Wales is also part of the UK last time I checked.

Also I think we can all agree the IRA words need to be dropped, because the people singing it were not even born before 98 and worst, probably have no understanding of it.

We had plenty of "fooorwaard!" shouts around us last night. It's infuriating when you can see what we're trying to do, it's the right thing to do and it's taking time to get right. Putting pressure on the players to rush and just hoof it is moronic.

I couldn't agree more. It has annoyed me a lot previously but even more so when we are actually trying to play football and dominated possession.

Brady made a comment about it when interviewed as well. Football Dinosaurs.

A bumper crop today!

"No! Not backwards! Fooorwards!!!"
[Ball played forwards, easily swept up by the Posh defence and comes straight back at us]
"RUBBISH, COBBLERS!"

"Odimayo! You're s***! Get him off, he's a liability! Get him off and get McGowan on!"

"Monthe? What's he bought him on for? We know he's rubbish, we saw that on Tuesday. Negative, Brady! Settling for a draw!!!"

That last one really had me biting my tongue. Surely even the most tactically naive football fan could see the move to a back 3 was intended to give Brough and Lintott the opportunity to get forward more and provide more width? It was an attacking substitution, just because it's a defender coming on doesn't mean it's negative FFS....

Surely all of these fade into insignificance next to the group of dičkheads in the west upper singing:

“You’re going home in a wheelchair, home in a wheelchair”

And

“Let him die let him die let him die”

To a very elderly gentleman, who was receiving emergency treatment in the away end.

Couldn't agree more. Embarrassing and it wasn't just a few either.

Absolutely disgraceful

Next to the burger eating guy. “That’s the worst thing I’ve ever smelled and I used to live in Indonesia.”

Yeah,  embarrassing. When I heard the "going home in a wheelchair" part there only seemed to be the St John's Ambulance guys walking across the front of the stand with am empty chair, so if I was being charitable it could be that they didn't realise someone was in trouble.

I genuinely didn't hear the "let him die" part but if they were singing that (and I'm not disputing they were) then presumably they could see someone was ill, and that's utterly inexcusable.

I hope the poor guy is OK.

Durian?

Longkangs and Jambans........ Trump Durian every time  :o

Seriously speaking, the stench that came from our site microwave, after the African labourers had used it, defied belief. I dread to think what it was.
It was worse than when I used to do some service work on the the trucks at Chettles Mill in the 80s. And that was bad.

Not for smell they don't. That's why it's called stinkfruit.

Trust me mate they do, a Jamban is a tin shed toilet with a bucket in it which gets emptied weekly and a Longkang is a drain, which all manner of things got dumped in. I lived in Singapore when I was a kid and Durian is nothing compared to either

Can be identified if needed,
a fine example of the youth of Numpty and their parents which could be their /sister/brother/auntie/uncle.Just pick two of those to reveal the answer

Sick and embarrassing chants, it was clear that medics were going into the stand to help someone.

The lads (boys) make plenty of noise, but I wish they would just concentrate on being positive towards their own team.

To be fair, any toilet or drain can stink horrendously. I was relating the burger to other foodstuffs. I've also spent a fair amount of time in Singapore, Indonesia and India and have certainly had an assault on the senses.

;D

Ansell had it down to a fine art, i used to think it was the beer

No way. I was persuaded to have some durain  and spent the next two hours driving from Ipoh to Penang with the window of the casr open spitting to try and get rid of the taste.

I’ve tried it several times, the smell isn’t pleasant and the actual fruit has a petrol like aftertaste which lingers. I don’t need to try it again!

The Kallang river used to get a bit stinky at times as well.

The Singapore river would take your breath away when I was a kid, an open sewer through the heart of the city

Absolutely fcuking disgusting and embarrassing on our part.
Despite all the verbals given out prior to and following the incident to Posh fans, good to see a fair few of us clap the chap.

rivalries go out the window in situations like that, I hope the person in question has recovered

How many sang this vile sh*t?

Hope the old boy is alright.

All very embarrassing with the singing about the old chap, also very embarrassing that the Posh fans refused to let the Medic walk along the front of the stand, making him climb over the barrier, then they still refused to make room for a wheelchair which also had to be lifted over, so both sets of fans let themselves down a bit.

Think he was ok. Was wheeled out and seemed ok - that's not a professional diagnosis of course!

Seemed around 15-20 odd in West Upper. I was for once, at the very front of lower tier.

Absolutely- I’m sure quite a few remember our fans behaving fantastically at the New Den - hope their fans remember next time we win there and having a quite drink in Bermondsey 😂

According to Waldorf and Statler in their regular seat behind me we were "completely shìt" yesterday, a somewhat dubious fact that they felt compelled to moan and groan about for the entire second half.

It's really wearing listening to some of these negative halfwits at times.

I recall one who used to sit in the West upper, who used to skwark like a crow throughout the game. She would take some beating.

So that's where the Fleetwood fans were!  :P

Gape? Why is he taking him off? He's had a good game! Clueless, Brady, clueless!!!


BECAUSE HE HASN'T PLAYED AT ALL IN NEARLY 12 MONTHS YOU f***ING KNOBHEAD!

They've only got 10 men & they're sh1t, we should be beating these!

From an absolute clueless bell in the North  ::)

Today in the west stand…. Linesman, look at me when I’m talking to you 😂

 ;D ;D I had to read that out to my wife, and even she laughed! (she hates football/no interest)

I actually laughed that someone would shout that

me too

Me too, classic comment and some self important nerve too.

Chap near me kept having a pop at Sammo in the first half today. Took me a while to realise he meant Simpson.

 ;D ;D

Dont you get thrown out for that sort of thing?

;D
Stop talking while I'm interrupting you!

Nothing to report...other than the tiresomely continual Adi adi adio from the half sharp brigade in the Upper West!

To be fair Rob some of the songs can be tiresome, but haven't they always been to someone  ?
I'm sure some of the stuff you sang in the 80s was not looked on favourable. Also when I joined in in the 70s with " You're gonna get you're f##king head kicked in "

"I was born under The Hotel End where knives were made for kniving guns were made to shot..."

and "You're going home in a f##king ambulance "

 I'm sure they were frowned upon by the older generation. 
If a particular song is popular it will carry on, if not it will fade away.

So he was saying Simmo then,

You might want to get your ears checked!  ;)

I recall that was sung by a section of the Hotel at the Orient goalkeeper after he was involved in a nasty collision, much to the obvious indignant shock of players on both sides. This was the mid 80s, about the time they were also singing “this is not a family club”.

The last 2 home games have done me in, sat next to a bloke against Bristol Rovers who shouted Mark em up lads every time Rovers attacked, spent the whole game filming Clarence or looking at his phone to them look up and shout Mark up em lads, there were others phrases too but it was lets shout a football phrase every chance I get.

There is also some fella near me who has now started shouting offside every attack.

Why is it always the ones who know very little that shout the loudest.

The regular one near me goes on and on and on every game about the "new" offside rule that says a player in an offside position doesn't become offside until they become active.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of it either. I think it's backfired a bit as it was bought in to encourage attacking play and meaning lesz stopping of the game. In reality it's not really helped and instead had probably slowed the game down a bit more as the attacking player often hesitates, thinks "am I offside or not?", decides to chase after the ball and then concedes the free kick anyway.

Regardless, that's the rule. There's no point complaining about it every. Single. Time. It. Happens.  Nor is there any point in throwing abuse at the poor unfortunate linesman who's just had to flag for it.

"Why didn't you flag in the first place you f***ing twat! He was clearly offside! Just flag it straight away!"

BECAUSE HE WASN'T BLOODY OFFSIDE ACCORDING TO THE RULES. HE CAN'T DECIDE WHICH RULES TO ENFORCE AND WHICH ONES TO IGNORE!!!

It's not even that he's somehow missed the rule change because numerous people have explained it to him, some more forcefully than others, but still he does it...

Ah, the offside rules and football fans understanding of them. What a combination. Matched only by a 10 year old who has recently moved up to u11s and has just had their wonder "goal" disallowed as they were blatantly offside but hadn't remembered that there are new rules to consider. Cue floods of tears and their mum saying "can't you just allow it because it was such a good goal".

 ;D

I even took cocked my head to one side to ensure I was hearing correctly. Next plan was to cup my ear.

The referee’s a catholic! Some odd cove in a baseball cap used to shout it out occasionally

You're going home in a...had some bite - as does everything from Fortune's always hiding to Fields of Green or even Chelsea, Chelsea...
Adi adi adio belongs at a kindergarten birthday party ffs!  ;D

Still does.  ;D ;D

Nice to see that some things haven’t changed 😉

I wonder who that could be......

Expect a sharp but eloquent,even articulate reply

Yr last sentence  - due to my ability to fall backwards when climbing to my seat several fans suggested change my seat to row K which I did but only to sit next to a know all who tells the Ref how to ‘ref ‘
In with a genuine fog horn of a voice. During the Charlton game he literally made me feel like a Brady bums of seat victim! Such is life.

“If you’re getting up early to watch some stupid football game, don’t wake up the whole house”

Kids can be cruel.

She's only joking Melly. I can assure you that she will be desperate to find out about Super Sam's last minute winner the moment it happens. Trust me.

We’ll never know if that trust would have been misguided. However, she was definitely not as desperate to find out about Guthries opener. On the plus side we won’t be having any more kids, every cloud.

Excellent, they cost far too much and often don't have any redeeming features. In my experience anyway. All the more money to spend on IFollow and airmail postage for a new shirt every season. Result! Even if the main one wasn't.

What do you mean new shirt, I’ve got 5 with matching shorts (we don’t wear socks here). It’s one of the factors that make up my new rule for what constitutes a proper supporter. Look at how much of my wad I’m chucking at the club. I’ve got to be honest, it’s not going as well as I’d hoped, people don’t seem totally convinced?

Oh I am. In terms of my Super Supporter rankings, I have you even further up than Evers. And those who have seen The Mighty Cobblers in all 92 league grounds plus at the Berniebow, New Camp and San Zero. To be living so far from home and still having your team so close to your heart is the mark of a true support. None of this 1000 consecutive games nonsense, you are top of the league for me Melly.

Stop it, I’m filling up.

Does that still qualify you as a FKW?  :o

Not without the socks apparently, I can’t even get into that club.

Maybe offset the socks with Cobblers thongs?

Ive got I❤️KT pants, does that count?

Only if you wear them inside out.

That only happens after I’ve been to see my Dentist.

Jesus, what sort of dentist do you go too, and does he take new patients?*
*Asking for a friend.

What do you look like, what are you wearing, do you have pics*?
*asking for my dentist.

"That's how they do dentistry"

"Yes, yes it is... IN PRISON"

“I AM GOING TO SUE YOU”

DEFAMATORY!

Now, now everyone, settle down.

Don't tell me to settle down, I'll sue you!

FFS

That’s factually incorrect.

You must cease and desist.

Not shouted but the chaps behind me last night were bemoaning Pep Guardiola and how he has ruined football.

What has ruined football is managers and coaches that think they are Pep Guardiola and get their team to pass out from the back  with centre halves alongside the keeper at goal kicks.
Most teams are simply just not good enough to do it.
I'll leave it down to discussion whether that includes the Cobblers or not

Not shouted but a lot of the time blokes behind me spent at leat 15 minutes discussing which is further from Northampton Newquay in Cornwall or Newquay in Wales.
Most of the time that sort of chatter during a game gets on my box, however last night it was more interesting and stimulating than what was actually going down on the pitch.
It was that sort of game. Crowd not interested, players not interested

"Oh, we're really not playing well, really not playing well at all. Oh, well played!!"

We also had "Negative! Always negative! It's this manager; he just sits back and sits back. He's done it all season. He's rubbish!"

I was severely tempted to turn around and ask him if his hypothesis is true then how it was that we'd come to score more goals after the 90th minute than any other team in the top four divisions. The only reason I didn't was that it was a couple of weeks since I saw that stat and I'm not sure it's still true.

After McWazza slotted home in stoppage time I really wished I'd mentioned it!

We are not playing very well and not going to score in this game

Less than 30 seconds later Pinnock scored oh I knew that would happen

In fairness  I said terrible touch when Mitch got the ball (it was), but the second wasn’t too bad  ;D

"Things shouted out by the knob head who sits behind his laptop" could be a feature!

First time in Sixfields history, the East Stand have attempted to get a song/chant going? *


* Inane squeals of "Cobblers' by a group of six year olds doesn't apply!

Oh well, you will sit with the Vale fans!  ;D

12 minutes in yesterday.

GET IT FORWARD

You’re describing most of the chants from the West Stand Upper aren’t you 🤭 plenty of Non league esque chants creeping in.

It was good to hear some volume from the East Stand. That’s where many of us started off 🙌🏽

Think I heard the term wazzock used yesterday. Thought to myself what a nincompoop!

I think I was the first to vocally call out here and in the stands how excruciatingly, non-league Adi adi adio is - so please don't include me in the West Upper assessment.
Luckily, yesterday and at Reading, myself and Super Will of Swindon put on a show... everywhere we go!  ;)
