Everything sung at a football match is banter in my opinion - no reason to get upset about it. Disappointing, I agree, that they have no empathy but come on - remember that it's a handful of people who start a song and the rest like sheep follow.
A classier response, rather than confrontation, would have been to sing back something like "Hope SISU buy you; we really hope SISU buy you; hope SISU buy you..." (score in a minute tune)

No the Sheffield united charged over unprovoked and our fan defended himself when confronted with an aggressive opposition fan.Just to confirm as I wasn't there. But are we calling Sheffield united fans 'scum' for some misplaced chants but praising one of our fans for attacking someone?
To be fair he met him half way.No the Sheffield united charged over unprovoked and our fan defended himself when confronted with an aggressive opposition fan.
What is scum is our fans after the game calling 'any' fan (old or young) cnuts and scum as they walked around the stadium.
To be fair he met him half way.
probably the stoppage cost the game last night
was self harming
Did Paul Daniels escape the wrath back then, then?So completely different to the Sheffield Wednesday game at Highfield Road 2nd January 1989.
We hammered them 5-0.
I remember as the game went on, we joined in with their chants of "McGee OUT".
If the link works you can see a small banner with McGee OUT written on it - I agree its not too clear.
theres always banter
so they sung about SISU
Lets not forget sky blue fans singing theres only one Carlos Tevez at United fans
which is worse
It's a few, not all of them.Really surprised by their hatred towards us, reading some of their comments on the SUFC forums there is some really vile stuff being written. From the overwhelming support from other football clubs fans we've had over the past 5 or so years last night was just strange.
Yes he went and met him AFTER the Sheffield fan had broke through the netting and charged towards the cov end in a threatening and aggressive wayTo be fair he met him half way.
For me it tarred the protest a little and should be forgot not highlighted.
I thought sisu in was funny it made me laugh.
Did you feel proud about starting it off?
Had to get that in and get the likes before somebody else did
I will be first to like then

Am I alone in thinking that if your team had no problems and you spent your hard earned money to travel 90 miles to watch a FOOTBALL match that you wouldn't have been a little annoyed if it were to be interrupted 3 times and delayed on a work night...
If you had been approached outside the ground by some home fans and asked to spare some money for the plight of the hosting club, or even a signature to back up a campaign then fair enough, most football supporters would happily do this. However at the end of the day the blades fans have come down heard nothing but a loud whistling, and feel the game they have paid to watch is being used not for a display of football but for a publicity stunt.
Being from Huddersfield I know that last year the exact same thing happened when they played Blackpool and the game was abandoned and a draw was awarded. If this had been in reverse and you felt the game was heading to that conclusion would you have stood and applauded knowing that it may damage your promotion push?
Whilst I am sympathetic towards any club not respecting their fans I am against anything that prevents a game of football game going ahead. The whole Tevez/Mascherano scenario was completely different, the game has laws and a team broke them. For some reason we were the only team willing to question why the FA and premier league. They decided that fining them a tiny figure in comparison to what they made due to the signing of these players was acceptable. Whilst your plight is a terrible one, it is an internal matter that I hope can be resolved with all the fans and local businesses around Coventry coming together and buying out these bandits. The Tevez affair wasn't internal it was a questioning of the governing body of the sport! and how it seems happy to dock points for a team who cannot afford to run its self (administration) or even Middlesbrough who had a virus spread round the players and couldnt raise a team, but when a London team CHEATS no points are deducted and the fine was a joke, West Ham still won! it would be like saying Lance Armstrong we know you cheated on drugs all your career, but you are still the champion however out of the 80m prize money could you give back 10 and you can compete next year!
However you dragged a team fighting for promotion into your problem who will not be able to help in this matter and we simply reacted with a bit of sarcastic banter. Just like fans who have sang Wednesday based songs at us, or who took the piss out of an innocent Ched Evans pre-trial or even when Coventry fans outside the pub at the station (The Howard) sang there's only one Carlos Tevez. We take it with a pinch of salt have a laugh and move on.
No blade wants SISU to ruin your club, however the fans that had made the trip didn't want Coventry fans ruining the entertainment of the game they had paid to watch. Neither did they want to miss their train home or be delayed and inconvenienced by something that isn't their problem...
I have no idea why you are all losing your heads about a bit of banter?

I have no idea why you are all losing your heads about a bit of banter?
it wasn't a minority of those in attendance last night though, far from it.Some people are twats. Some twats support SU and some support the Sky Blues. Extrapolating from that to make pejorative remarks over the whole of Sheffield and all SU supporters is rather dumb IMO.
Hi Anthony, as someone who lived in Sheffield on the Blades side of town for a number of years in the nineties, I think I can respond to your posts with abit of knowledge.
1) Why do Blades fans think it all about them? It didn't matter which team we played it would have happened as we have had enough, and the game was live on SKY. If you cant see that drawing negative publicity against our owners is of paramount importance, then you don't understand what is going on,.
2) This isn't about banter, we have had nine years of this shit, and it just would have been nice to have some solidarity from football fans of another club. We have had solidarity off everyone else when we have needed it. You are the ONLY club who hasn't shared that. Its not a prerequisite but it would have been nice.
3) This situation could happen to anyone. We hope it doesn't, but would support anyone in the same situation.
Exactly! Why couldn't Sheff Utd fans show the same solidarity or sympathy as other clubs' fans?
It wasn't just a bit of banter. It was constant throughout the game.
All for a bit of banter and one 30 second burst of it would have had people smiling, but to do it throughout the game.....

just curious what was the Sheff Utd's fans response when their Charlton game was held up the other week?
