Heisenberg Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 There's a bloke behind me in the south stand upper, block E, who without fail must call Keogh a 'useless ****' after every misplaced pass or header, and then on this one occasion he decided to call Bent the same. Moments later we scored. I had a little smile when Keogh played it across for Bent for the first goal, I must say. B*llend. There's some real pond life out there.

Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It's seating. If you're a bloke who gets involved in games and likes to stand up waving his arms and shouting every two minutes then it's not a problem. IF everyone was on a terrace. With seats you get blokes like this and they are surrounded by quieter, more subdued supporters which equally is not a problem but then you get the shouty bloke immediately becoming more noticeable and more judged simply because being sat down does not facilitate involvement in football matches. If everyone was stood up on a terrace and someone next to me was being overly animated and I didn't like it then I could just move. The bloke also wouldn't really stand out so much either. Going to games at all seater stadiums has become sterile and as a consequence the ramblings and outbursts of individual fans in areas that aren't for the voiciferous have become amplified and frowned upon. Now obviously you do get some real idiots as some posts in here would attest, especially the downright ignorant and uneducated who just want to swear and shout abuse but fans who just get into the game and a bit carried away are increasingly being ostracised in favour of a more genteel match day experience. I'm not saying anybody is right or wrong in what they do when going to a football match but in the case of Derby from what I've learned, if you want to swear and hurl abuse then think about others and go in the south stand where the others of like mind seem to be. That minimizes the disruption and any detraction from the matchday experience for other more studious / placid / observant supporters. Apologies for others in the south stand but its the noisiest stand where many of the more active fans are so by default if we are to lump them all in together then the SS is it.

TomBustler1884 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Had to say something yesterday to a bloke behind me, everything Darren Bent did was wrong, waste of space, get out of our club. Even when the ball was with our defence he was getting abuse. Funny thing was when I turned round to ask if perhaps he could spend a bit more time supporting the team, and making some noise as opposed to abusing individuals for 98 minutes, he stared straight ahead in silence! Darren then proceeded to be absolutely awful for the next 10 mins, which didn't really help my cause! Felt like there was lots of anger, frustration and impatience yesterday. I enjoyed Father Christmas trying to get the South stand going yesterday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my very own near me. The one who knows everything before the players do. Amateur pundits. Thing is Tony I don't know where they keep their video replay equipment ! .. No one is THAT observant or has eyesight that good but this lot seem to be able to rewind a whole game in their head, know each participant in any piece of interplay. They then top it by giving you a tired condescending look and a weak smile that says "never mind you'll understand one day if you pay attention and know the rules" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed him how to anorl - but he wouldn't budge, bloke called Boycie I think. And happy birthday mate! I was sat next to this old dear, who smelt of booze, insisted on "bouncing" and said I must be a "fookin red" as I didn't participate. I nearly beckoned over a steward when she grabbed my tartan blanket from over my knees and started waving it around her head whilst singing "since I was young" thank god she fell asleep the second half. oh, Johnny Russel was her Man of the Match, but I just think she finds him attractive. She did know the off side rule though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one_chop Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Bloke next to me always stands up and tries to get a chant going, when he realises nobody is joining in he sits back down effing and blinding calling us all red dogs. He tries it at least 10 times every game. It's never worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archram Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Having just moved to the west stand, it's interesting to see that quite a few people have perfected the art of bouncing while sitting down. When its fans of the heavier variety it means that their whole row bounces - like it or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get a free ticket but have to all sit together in a small section of the ground. It would either keep them out of the way or help them realise what they are like. We could call it the East stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 My next door neighbour decided to bring along a couple of mouth-breathing ****** to join him in his seat in the south stand. Trouble was, this meant he had to stand in front of me for want of room. He didn't think it through. We relocated due to a previous near neighbour smelling so strongly of urine, depending on the wind direction, it would make us gag and wretch. I found myself watching the weather forecast a few days before a home game to see if whether we would be stunk out or not. However all this pales into insignificance when remembering the Normanton End in the early seventies, when I often saw men urinating on the terraces. Got pi**ed on myself once. Nice.
