Idiots around the drum

[BustaGut]

During last Saturdays game, a Grays player was hurt and needed to be stretchered off the pitch, before they managed to stretcher him off, the guy was down for a long time, in obvious pain.

This of course encouraged the idiots behind the goal, to start chanting let him die etc, and also chanting the tune from the funeral march. sorry I find them sick, it was only a few days before that Phil O'Donnell died of a heart attack on the pitch.No respect shown from those so called fans!!!to the player or the game of football. The club also seem to ignore that at other grounds that they gave Phil O'Donnell a one minute show of appreciation,by clapping, but not at ours. Not a good !

First of all, we didn't play Grays on a Saturday.

 

Football fans will always goad the opposition.

Get off your political correctness horse.

 

While it is a tragedy what happened to Phil, how could the singers know that he was going to die like that before the event. Is Kenny a psychic?

 

As for the minutes silence/applause, I can understand why Scottish sides would do that. Had you heeard of him before his untimely passing?

Please stop tarnishing us all with the same brush! I enjoy singing at matches, but refuse to participate in such chants and tunes that you have mentioned, for the reasons that you have mentioned - I also know a few other people who have the same views on this as me and act the same as I do in this matter. I agree there can be idiots around the drum at times who open their mouths before engaging their brains but please recognise all of us are not the same!

Ok so it was not Saturday as I had a beer or two, had no idea what day it was,ummm he did play in the English prem league!
Political correctness ???rubbish, is manners/respect! but guess your a young un oops no manners.
Next time we have a player hurt broken leg etc dont whinge like hell, when the opposition do the same, ooops to late you done that a couple of seasons ago when jackson got hurt, and the lot around the drum wanted to fight everyone, double standards or what??come here moaning like hell about the same thing you just said is ok to do?
plus You may find he died before the 1st of Jan, just a news paper, teleivision, radio needed , no special powers

You make some very strange posts at time Busta, who do you think you are, me?

 

I agree with what you say in principle, it's just the way you say it.

The let him die chant and funeral march song has happened for years down the Fleet. We do not need to point fingers at individuals and chastise them.

Exactly.

[wobbly Wayne II]

from the title , I thought it was refering to how even when 3 nil up in the first half, you could not hear a peep out of them.

 

maybe they were waiting for the 4th.

[Harry J Allstars]

For about ten minutes in the second half it was so quiet that I could hear traffic go past the ground, I was on the same side as the main stand.

[Slartibartfast]

There was very little to cheer in the second half Harry, I think we decided to 'stick' at 3:0, if Weymouth hadn't scored I don't think we would have mounted a serious attack.

Not keen on the particular chant.

Watching player after player roll around grasping an ankle (then jump straight up) week after week, in an attempt to milk a free kick or yellow card for their opponent makes fans cynical.

So common its being parodied in a 'Snickers' TV ad...Mr T in a tank telling the villain of the piece to "Stop that jibber jabber and to Get some nuts!.

Reached the point where you even doubt your own players sometimes.

 

Drums and dives...South America's got a lot to answer for.

[Jeff]

The second half was rubbish.

Who cares though? We won.

I did not pick on individuals, I pointed at a group of people,that gather in the drum area,if the hat fits etc.
To be fair though the player who was injured, was taking the pee a little, by crawling on to the pitch to try and get the game stopped, If a player fains injury give them stick by all means, but wait to see if he is faining injury before casting aspersions.
