Idiot supporters at the front ........ (12 Viewers)

[italiahorse]

Because this doesn't happen at every football game in this country..

Why act like a violent threatening idiot from the safety of a crowd and separated by a barrier?

It shouldn't, but it does. That's football, you are old enough to have seen this and know about it. Nothing new to be seen here.

 

[Great_Expectations]

It is a football game and these sorts of things are expected, but I absolutely understand the point of the OP.

Numerous times this season I have witnessed kids or, even worse, fully grown men, shouting constant abuse at the home fans. No interest in the game, no eyes on the pitch, but a constant barrage of abuse spouted. While a level of banter is absolutely expected, tolerated and enjoyed by most (it is part and parcel of away games) when it goes too far it's both cringeworthy, frustrating and outright pathetic.

Too many times this season I have been distracted from the game by lary fans attempting to engage me in shouting abuse at opposite fans, who most of the time don't even acknowledge it, and/or missed key points/goals as fans have been in the way/moving around in an attempt to get closer to the home fans.

While I acknowledge a level of "banter" is encompassed within an away day, when it overly encroaches on my enjoyment of the game or fellow CCFC fans are accused of not being "real" fans because they don't want to shout abuse from the safety of another stand, it does become annoying.

I go because I love Coventry City and I want to watch, and support, them. Not to waste time and money acting like I'm the hardest man in Coventry.

'Volume, not vitriol.' Get that on your t-shirt.

 

[M&B Stand]

You were that outraged you took to an Internet forum to vent your spleen. Why not tell them at the time to behave?

 

[phildownunder]

I can`t comment of course on how things are today at matches but given my experiences at times back in the day I`m reminded of part of that old song ;-
"Why can`t they be like we were, perfect in every way.
Oh what`s the matter with kids today?"

 

[gally9]

Its not just football.. alot of kids are tossy nowadays... the whole "can i get" nature of them, with there struts and trousers down there ankles.. gets on my tits.

Always been around, truth is these were always the first to run for their lives when it Kicked off. It always amazed me who was capable of looking after themselves when it came to the crunch, not always who you expected !

Saw said types when we played Millwall, giving it absolute loads and then running like the wind when anybody looks at them.

I wouldn't stick up for them.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Few of them on the train with me between New Street and Leamington. gabbing off about a skirmish ("I got one flying spin kick in?!?") they had back on the way to the station. Average height (about 8-10 of them) was 5ft 2",boosted by one who was 5' 10" and look suspiciously like Frank Nouble (could have been him, as he wasn't up to much else on Saturday IIRC). Don't think any of them had reached final year of school.

 

[mrtrench]

It's just a false perception of adulthood and part of growing up. I'm sure most of them will remember things they said with horror once they hit their 20s.

 

[Covstu]

I would be more bothered if they are tearing up the place or running on the pitch but this is part and parcel of every teams support these days. You look on TV when someone misses a chance and all you can see are the :jerkit: actions everywhere.

Our lads are little bother compared to some other fans, its more embarassing when you have a 55 year old man giving it loads back to a bunch of 18yr old kids.

Sorry Stu - it was the Kronenburg

Yeah right! Yobbo yoots at footie matches these days will slice you for looking at them the wrong way. The stewards should have turfed them out after the second warning.

If you think every 'Yobbo at the footie' is gonna stab you if you look at them the wrong way, that probably says more about you than it does about them.

Where did I say every yobbo in my post? You need to read things a little more carefully before making a cnut of yourself!:facepalm:

Have a nice evening

 

[Nick]

Pisses me off in the Family Zone when people feel the need to swear so much, especially the C Bomb. Go sit somewhere else if you want to do that, likewise if people take kids into the scoreboard and moan about swearing they should really move round to the Family Zone if they have an issue.

Still remember the bloke teaching his kid who to say C*nt properly, lad no older than 7. Bet he is going to grow up to be a delightful child.

You don't seem to have a problem telling people what you think from behind the keyboard! Is it just at the 'footie' you get scared of the yobbo yoots?

I was near the halfway line today about 15 rows back, and down at the front , in the "overspill" section on the extreme right of our lot were a group of "well 'ard" spotty teenager giving the verbals and fingers from the start of the game right to the end.

One in particular, who kept taking off his jacket , then realising he was a skinny bastard and mum would tell him off if he didn't wear it, spent the entire match wanting to take on the whole of the Notts County end, to our right . By the middle of the second half this little group had attracted around 3 stewards who kept warning them to pack it in. They should have thrown the tosser out.



I hope after the game the Notts Couny fans found him and gave him a damned good slapping. That'll teach him.
Not that I'm condoning violence.

You dumb ass that spotty teenager on the half way line was our winger

From my experience the true hard cases who you wanted next to you at West Ham when you were trying to get back to safety didn't need to have a gob on them. Anyway while its a bit embarrassing you shouldn't really be expecting too many Chess Grandmasters up the football!

look out for the quiet ones at the back....to lift from a punk song

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

There was a guy in a white City shirt grabbing his badge going 'fucking love City, you're wankers if you don't wear the shirt, fuck off!'

Seriously thought he was coked up. By the 70th min he was falling asleep by the turnstile stairs. Took him 5 mins to get back up to the back rows.

I thought he was a tosser.

Probably was, when we played Gillingham there were plenty of young chavs gurning and chewing their gums off. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

He seems to go to every game. If you were there on Monday you would know who I'm talking about; you couldn't miss him!

 

[Lord_Nampil]

yup i think he sings a song about his name and going to every game!

Someone wants to have a word with him.......and tell him to change his drug dealer.

That is because he is, and he was coked up, hes been thrown out at a few away games this season and was a right prick at Crewe away picking on his missus and screaming at her. Wanker.

i'd love the day when fans could be actually trusted to take a beer into the ground and sit next to who they wanted without the worry of violence.

The 2015 Rugby World Cup is nearly upon us....

"To be absolutely clear: we have no plans to segregate fans," said the England Rugby 2015 chief executive, Debbie Jevans. "The beauty of what we're doing is that we don't have to worry about segregation"

I know responses will be "Rugby is different" ?, but why should it be ? Funnily enough, it doesn't matter what sporting event I go to, I am not looking for violence, be it rugby, tennis or the football, why should the majority of the football community accept it for some muppets to get away with it

I dont think you would get anyone disagreeing with the sentiment but you cannot erase 50 years of built up hatred and tribalism in football. This cannot be undone overnight and as you can see on the comments above, we are breeding a new era of idiots to replace them. For me the segregation of home and away supporters makes football what it is, there is no singing in rugby which for me is what i love about football. I have never been to a rugby game so cannot compare atmosphere but doesnt seem to have the same effect.

This isn't about Football v rugby, its about the "acceptable" behaviour of certain individuals / groups in football v any other sport (or any other aspect of society).

I went to 2 of the Olympic games at the Ricoh. A lot of mixing between the fans, it was a great atmosphere !

I know it wont change overnight, but if its not accepted, it will become even more in the minority

You know who I mean then.

Actually now you mention it I saw him a Crewe away too. Just being a complete arsehole; saw him on the aisle seats obstructing everyone's view.

He really was giving his missus some aggro. She never once retaliated; obviously know what he's like.

It can be described as quiet, with polite clapping. Not the atmosphere I'd want in football for sure!

That's not quite true, there can be a cracking atmosphere at Rugby....................all that said nothing beats the buzz of a worked up football crowd with a bit of rivalry thrown in !

Was he the one singing / shouting "I'd die for you City" whilst clutching his badge and tilting at 45 degrees in the aisle (aged mid twenties? If so, I'd decided to give him the benefit of being the one referred to in another thread as having mental health problems. if it wasn't him.....then yes, a bit of a tosser (first impressions and all that )
