South Stand Muppets

I actually have nee clue what the large majority of complaints are about.

The only thing I'm absolutely not a fan of that happens in the south stand is booing the knee.

It was a pain in the arse when the young lads were hoying beer about at HT but stewards soon go to the bottom of it. Even then, I just stood a bit further away when having a beer at HT :lol:

Proof that there’s a small % of wankers in our support who have tickets in all areas of the ground.

this entire thread is based on people throwing paper balls around at half time. Given I was part of the group who stayed for over an hour at full time cleaning the stand (after a 0-1 defeat in which we had played shit), I should be whinging more than most but I just don't... get it. People were enjoying themselves, no harm was done and they were all picked up at full time.

South Stand muppets indeed.

:rolleyes:

The atmosphere at grounds is so sanitised now that any little thing is blown out of proportion...it was only a bit of paper..

Exactly.

That's fair, I rarely gan in the concourse. Obviously a laser pen is bad crack, and the lad shitting himself in the stand wasn't great like but the way it's talked about on here I don't really recognise from being in it. Is it a stand of heroes deserving medals? No. But it's hardly a pit of scumbags who want chasing either. It's just a stand full of people who are slightly more noisy than others

Exactly. And each of those people are paying to watch the lads and are one of our own. Not saying every individual is perfect like, but Christ the way this place goes on we’re all criminals who stand there. Something that should be condoned will be condoned by all, but hoying bits of paper isn’t one of them. Even the thread on a bit of applause at the end of the 2 minutes silence was picky for me. I just saw it as a nice touch at the end of a well observed silence 🤷‍♂️

Are you new to football fanbase/chants? when I was a boy in the Fulwell end, songs like that was common, and it was just about the whole home support, carlisle in the cup being one that springs to mind, a bit vitriol is what we need, football supporters are getting soft and wet.

More of that south stand lads 👍

Who would go round and wake everyone up

:lol: Certainly not new to football, and no issues with vitriol. But chanting about Welsh people shagging sheep is neither vitriolic, witty or original. It's no different to the numerous clubs who've chanted 'Shearer' at us for the past 25 years or the League One players who did his celebration when they scored against us. We all rolled our eyes and said how smalltime it was, do you not think the Cardiff fans did the same? They hear the same thing 44 times a season, I doubt they were quaking in their boots.

On a kind of similar note, I'm far too young to have experienced the Roker Roar in its heyday but my understanding is it was just that - a roar? I always think the best atmospheres at the SOL are when there's a proper roar, or like the 'By far the greatest team' before kick off at Wembley that the kids today turn their noses up at. Wish we'd just focus on making it as raucous and hostile as possible without obsessing over copying whatever ditties Liverpool have nicked from South America that no-one will ever join in with.

Entirely agree. I can’t sing and cba to sing. Some bloke on here at Sheff Utd took offence to that didn’t he. But if we’re on top I’ll be very vocal and get behind the team. Can’t remember any witty chants in the most memorable atmospheres, just pure noise and passion.

Would have been more entertaining.

Unsure what some are moaning about. I don't think anyone was throwing anything at our players.

The only person that they seemed to target was their player who was subbed and had to walk past the south stand on his way to the bench.

Aye I don’t understand the uproar for a bit of paper getting hoyed like. Happens at any single ground anywhere where there is a paper display. In fact there’s a well known video that shows a paper airplane being thrown from one of Wembleys top tiers and it flies all the way to the pitch and hit someone and the fans all cheered. I’m in the South Stand U39 so had a couple of bits hit the back of me heed throughout the match and if anything I laughed every time one hit, you barely felt it anyway.

Considering one of the lads that is involved with Spirit of 37 was hit whilst photographing the game I thought you might not brush this off as easily. Paper this week, and been a coin previously.

Whether folk like it ir not there are sone right plums in the South Stand.

And the fact it's no longer a family enclosure has only cemented this opinion of mine. Some of the shite that is spouted around kids is ridiculous.
 
Good job we don't have to go back to the dark old days when toilet rolls were thrown.....We lost a lot of fans, both home and away to that triple quilted Aloe Vera stuff

The only dangerous item thrown on Saturday came from the North Stand.

I await the outrage condemning the North Stand.

The sniping at the Roker End is pathetic and needs called out.

The whinging is getting proper pathetic now. I’m the south stand as well and as much as it pissed me off when the beer got chucked around at half I wasn’t bothered enough to moan, just go next door for me pint.

The desperation to get the away fans in the south stand and break it up from people is my favourite, my mates included call for it.

It’s got its wankers aye but to go on like this over some paper is terrible crack. Proper tories in the north stand
