Van wink 2,994 Posted March 13, 2019 So the dodgy bobble hat, looked a bit scraggy to me, got returned to its greatful owners pate, and Moritz kindly threw his own bandana into the crowd. Did it end up on Delia's head? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to say that I have some sympathy with his point about subs, we were looking a bit tired, possibly mentally tired, and thats why the goal was conceded. I dont think the goal had anything to do with the crowd chanting about a hat, at least we were chanting rather than sitting quielty and nervously as Hull came back into the game, which does sometimes happen. It was a bit of fun, Rhodes however did look a bit bemused when this was going on, I'm not sure if his reaction was because he dissaproved or because he didnt understand what was happening. Perhaps if he had sung a song he would have felt better.😉 I understand MB's comments about complacency, its a fine line between enjoying a game, having a laugh, and being complacent. Its certainly true, as I have said previously, that if we are to make it this season the crowd has a very important part to play over the coming weeks.

We are not over the line yet and the crowd is an important component in the scheme of things. 3-1 became 3-2 at the end of the hat thing....young players on the pitch.......maybe distracted, even if only sub-consciously, by something different going in the crowd? It's about focus. Fans as well as players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 997 Posted March 14, 2019 To put the blame for the second Hull goal on "the hat" is absolutely ridiculous. On a different note, I think you must sit near me Van Wink...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted March 14, 2019 It was a bit of a distraction from a ‘watching’ perspective as I wasn’t sure what was going on - and was trying to watch the game as could see we might concede if we weren’t careful - but it definitely shouldn’t have been a distraction to the players (....if it’s that easy then perhaps supporters of other sides will start chanting about hats and our form will nosedive?!). There is maybe something to be said about a degree of complacency seeping in to (some of) the supporters, but I guess at 3-1 you ought to think you’re ok.

The chanting was actually 'give it to Delia' which made me feel a bit weird... I agree with the fact we shouldn't have been concentrating on where a hat was going, instead continued to cheer on the team and actually watch the game. When that hat thing happened, the entire Barclay was pretty much looking over to the City stand and not watching the game. It was pretty dumb. But funny. I think...

Grando 256 Posted March 14, 2019 Being in the Barclay I found it a bit distracting and in a sense it clearly shows a sense of complacency from the crowd because people are concentrating on antics on the touchline rather than the match itself, which was clearly far from won. It's a bit disrespectful to the players, I suppose. I accept it probably didn't have a direct impact on the second Hull goal, but equally it didn't help us. And quite tangibly it must make it a bit uncomfortable for the subs who don't want to look humourless (which I accept I'm looking like in typing this, but hey ho) and ignore the banter, but equally are trying to focus on their warm up in case they have to come on. In future we'd be better just urging City on and save chanting about hats etc till we're four or five goals ahead. (Btw, I do realise that this isn't a major issue and I don't feel that strongly about it, but as we're always keen to give constructive criticism on here to various players, then I guess it's ok to do the same to the crowd...) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,117 Posted March 14, 2019 How dare the naughty crowd have a little bit of fun unrelated to the football on the pitch?! I personally felt it was just a reaction to the relief felt when we went 3-1 up - an over-relaxation if you like. Certainly it was very nervy early in the second half.

There were actually several different chants, one being "Delia show us your hat"....which I misheard at first and it made me feel very uncomfortable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair point, I realise that my comment sounded somewhat po-faced! (We should know by now though that the footballing gods almost always punish what they perceive as fan smugness...
