    Watched them against Chesterfield last night, they was on the wrong end of 4-1 score line but the FC United fans never stopped singing & encouraging their team from Start to finish. Impressive. :cool:

    Going to the game with your mates & feeling a part of something is more important than what league you're in.

    Thought it was a bit naughty of BT ................... there was a 20 minute chant of "F**k the FA" which continued at full pelt with just a single line of apology from the commentator. But when the chant changed to "F**k BT Sport" they quickly muffled the mike in that area of the ground so it was barely audible.

    You are right though, they were a credit to the club and to football in general.

    As were Chesterfield, who gave us a lesson how to approach a game against non-league-ers.

    It's a proper **** name for a football club though. It's like someone has put Manchester United FC into google translate and translated it through 17 different languages and then back to English.

    Watch em all jump ship to Salford City when they start putting a run together.

    All of em will have "been fans since before the class of 92 turned up" and that.

    Certainly the noisiest fans I've ever heard visiting Spotland when they played us. Also the most disgraceful! Invading the pitch, flares, smoke bombs and embarrassing songs about Cantona? and the Glazier's dying.

    Glad I'm not the only person on here who doesn't think they're the saviours of modern football. When they visited King's Lynn last year they were the most thuggish, vile bunch of tossers I've ever experienced at a football match, biggest chip on the shoulder possible with an over-inflated opinion of their own worth. It's a view shared by many in non-league football, had it been any other club's fans chanting last night there would be fines flying around like nobody's business today.

    Folks singing and enjoying thersens, this aint modern day football surely.

    Don't yer need a two goal cushion nowadays before yer raise a song at home.

    p.s. this must be first season I aint heard a firework go off at Oakwell, boredom as surely set in.

    While that's true, you also want your team to win now and then.

    I struggle to see why they exist to be perfectly fair. The glaziers owning Manchester United and taking a profit whilst trying to win the league a few times and spending millions on players must be right hard for em.

    Crazy talk. That isn't in the plan as outlined in a 15 hour presentation by our Head Coach.

    quite entitled i suppose. If only it was as utopian as they'd like.
