Morons

Bit of a moan. My first thread. QPR yesterday and repeated at other grounds.
1. Singing "if you wear a yellow jacket your a lovely person. MORON
2.Shouting constant vile abuse at players and manager. so everyone within 100 yds can hear. ATTENTION SEEKING MORON .
3. Not allowing anyone who has a different opinion a say. Without getting a tirade of abuse. MORON.
4.Smoking in toilets. Response from MORON. "The waint let us smoke int ground,". STUPID INCONSIDERATE MORON.
5 . I will not reply to anyone who disagrees. Take it as granted MORON.

 

It's Russian roulette at away games with regard to who you get sat near.

There is a big boozing culture that goes with away travel, which is fine in itself, I've done it many times.

Problem is, some can't behave themselves when they've had a wet, and that's a pain in the arse for the majority that just want to watch the game.

Closer the away match, or cheaper the tickets, worst it seems to be unfortunately.

 

Guessing that's aimed at stewards? Never understood that logic. "you're a lovely person for turning up and doing your job"...

 

It's getting quite bad at away games now with a few mindless drunken pillocks causing trouble and shouting vile abuse at either the team or manager who if questioned then feel the need to get aggresive.

It's a very sorry state to be in when we can't all just go to a game and get behind the team win lose or draw without some drunken idiot wanting to attack you because you don't tend to agree with the opinion they have been shouting in your ear for most of the first half.

I want to take my little lad to an away game but at the moment I don't feel it's a place for a young lad to go watch a football match and that's really sad.

95% of our fans are sensible like minded people who want to enjoy a day out and hope to see us play well and 5% do their utmost to ruin it.

 

Yes mate sick of it. They're an embarrassment. Needed to get it off my chest. Watched tarn home and away since 1966. So it's nothing new to me.

 

I didn't go yesturday but someone posted on Facebook of fans arguing and punches thrown. Haven't been to a away game for a while but hearing this hardly makes me want to.

 

Know lots of lads. ( Well probably nearer my age 61) including myself who like a wet and the social side. That don't go off like idiots.

 

Agree. Some of my old footballing mates go with the courthouse. Enjoy the day out, never any bother.

 

The smoking in the toilets it’s a disgrace. Selfish and ignorant. It’s embarrassing how ‘cool’ they think they are doing it. 40 year old blokes acting like school kids.

 

I get the feeling that for some the football is a distant second to the actual day out when it comes to away games.

As someone said above, it’s a complete lottery as to who you’re sat near as well.

There’s a thread from August recalling the Rotherham preseason friendly that discusses this sort of issue where a drunken indivudual proceeded to ruin the afternoon for a fair few people as he stood in the gangway, refused to sit down or move and responded to anyone who questioned him by verbally abusing them and threatening violence.

I’ve seen him at games since as well, he’s still the same.

 

It’s like a scene from the Inbetweeners.

 

I wouldn't be upset if the people who smoke in the bogs were shot on sight upon exiting.

 

Many fans will be nodding in complete agreement with these posts because sadly the minority really can spoil it especially at away games. It is the minority but their behaviour can be so anti social it can and does spoil the day.

 

I had to wait until half way through the 2nd half to go for a piss, I refuse to walk into that confined space with a load of blokes just hanging about so they can have a ***, nob heads the lot of them! And why oh why can’t men aim their piss properly!? My shoes don’t appreciate walking through puddles of piss every weekend!

 

What a ridiculous comment

 

I sense it's from frustration that it is allowed to go on up and down the grounds. We are lucky in the ponty end that they all just go to the west corner.
The stewards can't deal with it and the police don't care but really it should be clamped down on. Perpetrators removed from the ground and if necessary a banning order. It's downright disgusting not to mention illegal.

 

The OP is a timely reminder for me as to one of the reasons why I have stopped going to away games. Apart from the ridiculous cost, I just stopped enjoying it because of morons like was described.

The thing about smoking in the bogs is a particular irritation for me and I am a former smoker (and still use a vape). No one wants to go to the bog and come out with their clothes stinking like they are on 80 a day. Just don't understand why the police don't stick a man in the bog just before HT. After all, it is illegal and they exist supposedly to enforce the law.

I remember going to Forest around 3 or 4 years ago, the year when it was one of the first away games of the season. The nobs had been hammering the soda all day and there were hundreds of them that never saw a minute of the match because they spent the whole game goading the Forest fans with particularly venemous scab chants. I bloody hated it that day and vowed never to go back.

 

It were never like this back in days of terracing, 80s and 90s etc ...

 

One of the reasons I've stopped going to away matches are these people. The only time I go is if I can get a ticket in the away upper tier.

 

I've had the "pleasure" of sitting next to morons, there's a lot of them about.
