This nardiello thing...

I tell you what i am sick and tired of the inbreds that sing for his name. If the strikers are having a bad time of things then surley we should get behind the lads not start singing other peoples names to try and entice the manager to bring him on. Yes he is a good finisher but look here. He has no pace. No body strenght and cannot head a ball for tofee. So how can his overall game be better than richards. Yes richards isnt a world beater but we are effectivly in the 3rd division and it is the players like richards the big burly boys that get you out of this **** hole of a league. Nardiello will probably be better in the championship where he will get more time on the ball a bit like mcphail

 

To be fair...

the crowd didn't start singing 'Nardiello' until he stood up and started taking his top off ready to come on.

 

To be absolutly fair, the crowd didnt sing at all

much during the whole 90 mins

 

RE: To be absolutly fair, the crowd didnt sing at all

the crowd sing, when theres something to sing about, for example Huddesfield when we went 2-1 up or.. All the way through the Scnuthorpe match

 

Good point

we only sing when were winning

 

RE: Good point

Its like that at most grounds though. The home crowd get behind the team when they are playing well etc.
Away fans generally sing throughout the match. Thats how it is.

 

thats the problem with the cosy all seater stadiums

crowd take to their seats 5 mins before kick off, no pre match atmosphere,
in the old days, makes me seem ancient, you got in thee ground erlier and the singing against the opposition fans was part of the entertainment, i suppose it stamped your authority

 

RE: thats the problem with the cosy all seater stadiums

in the days before all seating you had to get in the ground early in order to get a decent view, now your seat is guaranteed and you don't have to be there until the last minute.

Maybe there might be a bit more inclination to get there early if the bovril wasn't £1.40 a cup!!!!!!

 

Dead right, same spot every week in the Ponty

and had to get there early, now, just turn up once the "music" starts, wouldnt dream of getting in earlier now, no hassle,
AND CERTAINLY NO ATMOSPHERE

 

you had to be there no later than 2.30 if....

you wanted a barrier to lean on in the brewery stand

 

ah yes

we moved to the brewery stand in later years,

 

in my youth, we moved to the brewery stand

in the second half

 

Now, if were really going back, we used to switch ends

and stand behind the end we were attacking,
can still do that at morecambe for unsegregated matches
